I would agree with that.

Which is kind of funny, that its being assumed that Alex doesn't like throwing to receivers.

Alex Smith has actually kind of tried to force feed Bowe a little bit. The colts game was in support of that.

They just need time to get on the same page. Both have things to work on.

I can't say I've seen enough of Boldins or Waynes route running, but Welker is easily the best in the league. So, no Bowe isn't as good a route runner as Welker.

You say Bowe needs to dedicate himself to his route running, I'd love if he improved his game any way he could.

I say Alex Smith needs to dedicate himself to utilizing the talent of his receivers as best he can, off-script or not.

Reggie Wayne is one of the best route runners of all time. As is Boldin. Boldin in his younger days was a 4.7 guy. Hes slow, but his route running and understanding of how to use his body to create space is what makes him special.

I agree with you on Alex Smith. I think personally he was making huge strides on that before he suffered his concussion in 2012.

I believe that with a full offseason of understanding the playbook, and hopefully an upgrade at Tight end, and receiver, along with an offensive line that has had a full year to learn the new system, and learn how to work together, that you will see that growth.

It has been pretty common with Alex Smith that his second year in a system, is a much better year for him.

and why should he?
thow it jamal or mc midget if you want yards, mcgrath if if you want a catch
other than that donny for a chance?

the Bowe No Show is always there for blocking?

Buck toothed Bowe turns my stomach with his attitude.

We all know you can make big plays, so just ****ing make them would you and shut the **** up

Bowe is done. He's not making plays anymore and that's all he really ever had. He doesn't run good routes, he doesn't get open, he can't catch, and he doesn't draw double coverage. We aren't going to force the ball to him this week. We tried that last time against Indy and he let us down. He's not going to have a chance to make plays unless he breaks some tackles and makes it happen on his own. We cannot count on Bowe anymore.

I agree with those who think it's time to move on. You know he has got to be on Dorsey's shit list. He won't be able to trade him or cut him because of his contract. The best we can hope for is that he gets convicted when he goes to court. If that happens we might be able to opt out of the contract and I really think Dorsey would do it.

I'm surprised no one posted Mellinger's article from yesterday where he completely called Bowe out for his comments.

We have fans that want to force the ball to a covered receiver and risk a turnover?



Lawdy. That is exactly what our previous shit QBs did to get Bowe the ball.

and where did that get us? I'll take the new offense over the old one every day of the week. Bowe has lost a step. He's not the same player he used to be.

McBlack Bob y'all.

This. So much this.

Did anyone read Mellinger's article about how he's never shown up in big time games in college or pro? He really called him out. If we lose and Bowe doesn't show up after those comments the media will be all over him.

Bowe gets completely ripped on NFLN for being lazy and dropping balls on NFLN:

I was just watching that. Bowe must have imported Sterling Sharpe's wife at some point.

I like Dwayne Bowe. Really, I do. I like that he plays with energy, with joy, and that he’s played on bad teams for most of his career but never complained, never shown up his (almost always bad) quarterbacks.


He has some rough edges, sure, including that arrest for small marijuana possession in November, but mostly his problems have been of stupidity, not malice. He’s a beloved teammate, and that matters.

I just want to point something out.

What he said the other day is b.s.:

"Games like this … big-time players make big-time plays, and these are games I mostly show up in."

Again, I like Dwayne. And part of why he hasn’t shown up in big games is because the Chiefs haven’t been good enough to give him many big games to show up in. This is only the second winning season, and second playoff game since Bowe was drafted in 2007.

But in the only playoff game of his career, Bowe didn’t even draw a target.

Plus, all this season, the Chiefs have needed a playmaker to take some pressure and hits off Jamaal Charles, and Bowe has been mostly crickets. He went for 57, 51 and 56 yards during the Chiefs’ three-game losing streak. Bowe signed a big contract before the season, and the Chiefs have needed vastly more from their receivers, and Bowe has had the worst full season of his career.

Statistically, his best game was either at Buffalo (season-high seven catches for 67 yards) or at Washington (four catches for a season-high 70 yards and a touchdown), and nobody’s confusing either with a big game for the Chiefs.

In the abyss that was the 2012 season, Bowe’s only 100-yard games and the only touchdowns he caught were in an 18-point loss at Buffalo (perhaps remembered best for Bowe celebrating a meaningless fourth quarter touchdown by pointing to the name on the back of his jersey) and a 17-point loss to the Chargers.

Now, to be fair, Bowe had a spectacular season in 2010 when the Chiefs won the division: 72 catches, 1,162 yards, and an NFL-best 15 touchdown receptions.

But it’s also true that his three biggest games that year (a total of 32 catches, 509 yards and six touchdowns) were in blowout wins over the Seahawks and Titans, and a blowout loss to the Broncos, before not even showing up in the box score of the playoff game.

Bowe can change a lot of this on Saturday, of course. This is how the playoffs work.

This is, like he says, a "big-time game." And he can show himself to be a "big-time player."

But so far in his career, this is not the type of game he mostly shows up in.

We will not just eat his contract. Dorsey will fix our Wr's Packer style but Bowe will be here probably two more seasons. Hopefully he will change his mind and feel like working hard to be great. Dorsey has already been turning over rocks all season to find speed and talent. Not much he could during the season but he has been looking. Bowe just is not a game breaker. He has produced very few 30 or 40 yard TD's for a guy that paid like he is elite.

Eat shit, haters.

THaA Tt TAT DONT KILL ME CaN only Make me stronger

Too bad he has cement in his shoes.

Haters gonna hate

And then Bowe shit himself.

There you go,Bowe, make a play when we need it!

He couldn't have been thrown a better ball. How are you not aware of the sideline in that situation???? Unbelievable. He finally shows up, just not when we needed him the most.

Ya, big time catches, you piece of shit.

That was a great play by the DB. But of course, it's all Bowe's fault. :rolleyes:

No catch, runs back towards the middle of the field getting tackled short of TD.

This guy sucks

You've never seen a receiver adjust his balance and get both feet in bounds on a sideline catch before? Nope. Big time players make that play, just like Bowe said. Unfortunately he's not one of them.

Dumb.

You're a ****ing moron and that's being kind.

Many on this board will put the knee pads on for this guy, but not me. And why Bowe will never be great. No brains,no focus, no heart thus no desire to be great when great is needed.

That whole situation was dumb coaching. Dumb to let the clock hit the 2 minute warning of you thought you were out of field goal range. Dumb to call your last time out after the two minute warning. Dumb to call a deep sideline pattern on 4th down when a defender can just force a guy into the sideline. Dumb dumb dumb. But yeah, that was Bowe's fault...

If not for Bowe, the game was over much earlier.

continue to put those knee pads:rolleyes:

I guess Mayock was "putting on kneepads" too?

Anybody with an IQ above 4 could see that the DB forced him to the sideline.

i cant blame him on that one. Throw was a good throw, it justh appened to be alittle tomuch to the sideline while being bumped by the defender.

Its just the Chiefs being the chiefs.

Bowe has been overrated for such a long time.. throw boldin in there and he makes that catch. It's why i always hated playing against Boldin because those players are rare.

Chief fans i know you wanted the SB, but you guys are building something LONG TERM. Alex is the man that can win games, provide more weapons outside.. this draft is FULL of them. I hope my team gets their share in the draft as well. I was really rooting for KC to do good

Bowe caught that ball one handed using his chest across a DB's helmet. I have no idea how you can blame him for that. It was a poorly thrown ball and anyone with even half a brain can see if it's thrown higher it's a catch.

Bowe haters are the absolute worst. Dumbest too.

Reid wanted to see what D was being thrown at him(so he could pick from a pool of plays for that type of D) since that was the last possible play of the season is my guess why he called timeout. It backs my theory up from the last Chargers game at home and why he called timeout when he should have let the clock run. He didn't have a play or set of plays ready ONCE AGAIN. No matter what D was being thrown at Alex, Reid could have had him audible to a different play if needed IF Reid was ready.

Bowe is NOT a GAMER, plain and simple. He needed to line up 1 yard closer inside to ensure he gets a good opportunity to get both feet in because he does make the catch. I have absolutely NO PROBLEM with the play. I have a problem with Bowe's brains and heart:rolleyes:

well people with a full brain know that if the ball was more inside the db could have made a play on it. Bowe needed to get his feet in

You mean the guy that plays half assed most of the time and can barely garner separation? Or busy getting caught with weed during season?

If Bowe had any speed it would have been a catch. DB made up two steps while the ball was in mid-air.

Nice big play Bowe... It was up to you and you ****ing blew it... Congrats... Now please move over, Marqise Lee needs room for his bags.

A great gamer WR doesn't let an undersized DB force him to the sideline ESPECIALLY when it's time to be GREAT and possibly the last play of the season !!!

Keep those knee pads on !!:rolleyes:

Bowe played a very good game no doubt, but as usual with him it is never a complete game.

1) Bowe not being able to finish on the big catch early in the game and get a TD (the Chiefs had to settle for a FG).

2) Bowe dropping a third down pass during the middle of the Colts comeback.

3) Bowe be taken down by a shoestring tackle on the first play of the final drive.

4) Bowe not being aware of his proximity to the sideline and getting both feet in bounds on the final play. Would that have been a tough catch? Yes. Do NFL WR's make that type of catch on a regular basis? Yes.

With Bowe in this game, it is good but not good enough. The story of his career.

ROFL ROFL ROFL

Case in point.

You sure are obsessed with knee pads. Wipe the drool off the corner of your mouth, moron.

Bowe was all we had left on the last drive. He's a stud, hate for him that his toes landed 6 inches too far to his right.

Precisely !! Let's get somebody in here that can not only play BIG when NEEDED but ACTUALLY WANTS TO PLAY BIG ALL THE TIME !!

Is that too much to ask??:shrug:

Bowe had a great game.

Proud of him.

The ball was thrown inside...
Josh Gordy is 5.11. He's not making any plays on a ball thrown high for Bowe. Bowe needed to catch that with his hands, not his chest. He can't do that with the ball Alex threw to him. It's just impossible.

Bowe played a great game. Any hate aimed at him today is misplaced.

**** anyone crying about bowe

Laugh all you want "No Focus Bowe" let an undersized DB force him out of bounds on the last play of the season that very easily could have been at minimum result a game leading FG if not a TD on that last series.

How about we focus on getting someone to play free safety that just plays, don't care if he plays big. Just show up and he'd be better than Kendrick Lewis.

Between people blaming Smith and people blaming Bowe, I wonder if half this board knows anything about football. Wait, no I don't.

Keep posting and I'll keep laughing. You're on fire!

Case in point you cannot refute it. Bowe is not a number one WR. He would highly excel with a dynamic WR to take off the pressure from him. If kc drafts a stud in the draft you will see what i am talking about. Bowe is by no means a horrible WR. He just isn't what some make him out to be.

Bullsh**!!! Bowe is a HUGE UNDERACHIEVER when NEEDED THE MOST and has proven this time and time again, and again this afternoon when all he had to do was run a forceful straight line muscling out his undersized opponent. If the opponent forces back it's a DB penalty at least because the DB did not turn around to play the ball. Bowe just showed no brains,focus or heart to keep himself in bounds and you could tell by the way he casually came down with that 2nd foot.

No rebuttal, uh ?? :clap:

go stick a fire hydrant up your pussy bitch.

Bowe did play a great game. He showed up. Surprised me. But a great WR would have made that catch in that situation.

He didn't, Bowe is a bum. He made easy plays, and pussed out on any play that required a little effort.

Very rare to see that out of a #1 WR on the last play of the game. The throw was there against man coverage.

I have no disagreement about Lewis because he is horrid. Which Smith ? If you are talking Sean then he and Dunta both need to go as well. Sean plays lazy giving up too many big plays and why Robinson was even offered a contract is beyond me.

I now see why Miami let Sean go:rolleyes:

shut
up

Rebuttal to what? You're a mouth breather. I don't do stupid.

Go change your Bowe tampon:thumb:

Thank you !! :clap:

A Great WR DOES make that play making SURE both feet are in because the throw and catch were there.

Throw was not there.

It hit him in the chest in stride. :shrug:

really hard not to like dbowe

you are the ****ing tampon

He should've demanded out of KC. I feel sorry his, Jamaal's, Tamba's, Berry's and Flower's prime years are wasted in this joke of a franchise.

Because you got nothing !!

You can't defend Bowe ADD(Attention Deficit Disorder). His lack of attention to detail especially when it could be the last play of the season KNOWING all of your other potential offensive weapons have gone down to injury and you are the last offensive playmaker left to make a GREAT play when NEEDED MOST and especially since you were PAID like one !!:shake:

Yeah, that's why it's a bad pass.

still it shouldn't have came to that.


all three people involved in that play deserve credit.

bowe, smith, the db

pussy right here.
shut
the
****
up

Gordy did nothing. That ball is a catch if not under thrown.

Haley made him better but you see now what probably drove Haley nuts and what was Bowe's achilles heel. Lack of focus and attention to detail in critical moments. Understanding the situation if not having enough heart to be great when great is needed the most. That's why he got paid. Did he earn his millions today that he still gets to keep even though he didn't focus on the last play ??
