I'm not trying to talk about Alex Smith or Mahomes I'm trying to talk about defense you ****ing obsessed idiot.

Wow. Some of you really don't have a life. Just the idea that these threads are started as a way of deflecting from Smith's shortcomings is pathetic. It's so obvious what the motive is.

The Alex Smith cult following can point to every team deficiency they want but it doesn't change the fact that other quarterbacks overcome that which Alex Smith cannot. There are plenty of quarterbacks in the league that would have taken the chiefs farther than Smith did. Mahomes is most definitely one of them.

I have always appreciated what Alex has done to help lift this franchise out of the gutter but you guys are making it unbearable to even appreciate that. It doesn't seem like you will ever get it. It's not about what Alex is, it's about what he isn't. Please quit sucking his cock and move on.

This lil tough guy chiefy will go to the greatest lengths to defend his boy toy smitty

We know what you're talking about. Wear the avatar proudly, it suits you.

It's a quarterback league and an offensive league. And for the most part, that's what you're going to get in the playoffs. So, it makes sense that other things like defense and special teams come into play in the playoffs and will often be viewed as the deciding factor by idiots with an agenda.

If you don't have an elite defense then you'd better have an elite QB or vice versa.

Why the Alex Smith hate?

Your avatar is disgraceful you butt****ing moron.

The Jags D set the tone early which was important..the Steelers offense is going to get theirs, and once they started scoring, the Jags offense didn't let them get back into it. The Chiefs jump out ahead..once one thing goes wrong it's downhill from their. That's not being mentally tough..that's coaching

Um... I know.

That’s what I said.

That's just one extreme to the next. No.

You can win SBs with merely good QBs... but your D better not be bottom tier, and players have to step up to make plays.

Russell Wilson... Flacco (lol)... Eli Manning... even his bro Peyton was shit the year he won the SB...

Aaron Rodgers (yes elite) only one 1 long ago, and he needed a trio of elite WRs and an elite D to do it.

Brees (yes was elite) could only do it once, and it was when he had the #1 takeaway defense.


The better the QB, the better your chances. duh.. derp. Yes, obviously.

KC doesn't have the elite QB.. no one said they did. They had (have) a very good one.

Sadly, breakdowns... (often in the form of injured players) all over... have plagued the team. Drops, officiating... the Chiefs... CHIEFS... NOT JUST SMITH... have been horribly unlucky and un-clutch in the playoffs. It sucks, but it is what it is.

Remaining Playoff Teams Defensive Rankings
 

That’s exactly what the Chiefs defense did.

Two games, two very similar tales, but totally different outcome because one team’s QB is a pussy bitch and the other is capable of making more than one read.

Wilson, Flacco, and Eli were all great in the playoffs when they won SBs. Flacco and Eli in particular were extremely clutch.

Rodgers made those receivers look better than they truly are, and if you don't agree see what happened to Greg Jennings when he signed with the Vikings.

You aren't wrong, you aren't going to win with a bottom tier defense no matter what... but you don't have to have a top 5 or even 10 unit if the QB is the real deal. You also aren't winning it all with a merely good QB if the defense isn't elite. Even then, that typically isn't enough to finish the job.

They were great because someone was coming down with their passes.

Funny how that works.
