Spot on, MO.

He can't keep running like this.

Make a decision, make it quickly and get rid of the ball.

Agree 100% with the JC comment as well. We've been fortunate to get away with waiting until the 4th quarter to try to runt he ball. Won't get away with that forever.

Heh, I'm tempted to go to the Broncos game depending on how things go between now and then, since they will have played the Giants, Texans, and the Broncos in Denver.

Still too early for me at this point though, to shell out over $100 (granted, I'd be driving across town, not the entire state).

I know it's easy to call us haters and "we'll never be happy," but it personally took me years to get the idea of watching every game every weekend out of my head and forcing myself not to waste money and time on tickets. I've jumped at the chance to do it a few times and it's bitten me in the ass, so in the meantime I'm happy with my HD and RedZone.

I actually prefer smashmouth football to airing it out.
I firmly believe that a team that can win the battle in the trenches and find balance with passing game, along with a stout defense, can be a dominant powerhouse for years.

I also believe that taking 2 or 3shots a game down the field opens up vthings both on the ground and in the passing game.


If Reid adjusted his playcalling to play to the strength they've displayed late in each of the last 2 games, and added a couple of play action deep balls, this offense could be a formidable one.

As is usually the case, the people on both sides of the argument are accusing the other side of being one extreme or the other. Alex Smith isn't THE reason the Chiefs are 3-0, but he also isn't a non factor in it either. The truth is he's doing his part. I imagine he's doing exactly what he was brought here to do, play a ball control, mistake free game. Make a play when they need one, which he's done, and facilitate the offense.

If Monty and his wife weren't going to be in town for the game, I'd be staying home as well. This is probably the best chance to meet up with them, and I'm currently on a 3 week break. Good timing.

The O sputters and doesn't look crisp til the club is ahead late and they start to run the ball.

Good post, Milk.

Instead, we're trying to use PA when we haven't even tried to establish the run.

This.

As long as people are happy with this and don't expect more they'll be happy...

When you could take 15-20 QB's and place them in this situation - only have to make 2-3 plays a game because you have the benefit of a stifling defense, defensive scores, opponents fumbling punts, dropping sure INT's - and the team would likely still be 3-0?

That's pushing non-factor territory.

Every team should take a few shots down the field every game just to take a chance of getting that 50 yard PI penalty. The risk/reward on those is off the charts.

Gee, three guys, who each have one super bowl, and the year they won their super bowls, Peyton Manning, super bowl sealed by Kelvin Hayden and it was more the defense that won the super bowl, Aaron Rodgers, super bowl sealed by Picks by Bj Raji, and Nick Collins, and was more about the defense than the offense, and Drew Brees, who had a defense that created turnovers left and right, and was sealed by Tracy Porter on a mistake by forehead.
I really question if you have watched that Jets defense. It probably is every bit as good as the Chiefs. Especially in the front 7. they are hellacious. You couldn't go wrong arguing for the Chiefs Jets, or Seahawks defenses as the best in football right now.......No talent on offense though? Santonio Holmes is proving hes not dead yet, Stephen Hill has taken a gigantic step forward. Oh, and their oline is considered by some to be playing the best in football right now. But, lol, you don't want anyone to blame the oline in Kansas City, although Eric Fishers struggles are garnering national attention. Not to mention that if homers, would take their glasses off. Donny Avery is a number three on most good teams, Dwayne Bowe is being double covered, and the Chiefs really don't have one starting caliber tight end on their roster.......
Everyone pretty much understood that the offense was going to be a work in progress before the season started, now on a short week, Fasano out, Eric Fisher looking completely lost, and the play calling itself was about 85 percent shot gun bullshit, and the play calling was horrendous. There was so much more to that game than the qb. Funny though. When the Chiefs committed to the run in the 4th quarter, sat Alex Smith under center, with Anthony Sherman in front of Charles, the offense looked GREAT. I think that play calling, and situational play calling especially needs to take some of the blame. Unless some how alex smith is at fault for Andy Reid calling for a shot gun option play to DEXTER mccluster from 4 yards out????
Even his supporters said that would be about where he was. hes not a stats guy. And again, other than Bowe and Charles who should the defense really focus on?

The Saints you have to cover Graham, Colston, and Sproles, and then Lance Moore kills you if you focus on those guys. The packers have Nelson, Cobb, Jermichael, then you just throw in James Jones and that's just a head ache. The offense has to find consistency, but placing this all at the feet of a qb who has not turned the ball over at all, and proven to be clutch when needed, is hilarious. Eli Manning, 0-3, Ben Roethlisberger 0-3, Kaep 1-2, Aaron Rodgers 1-2. Every single one of them, can take some blame to themselves because their turnovers, have hurt their teams.....

The packers oline when they won the super bowl, had long time left tackle, chad Clifton, and long time right tackle Tauscher. This is always funny to me.

The bears, have added Jermon Bushrod, and Kyle long, as well as an offensive genius to their offense. Not to mention Martellius Bennett, and they have forte, and a quality back up running back. They also can run out Earl Bennett as a security blanket for Jay Cutler, and I did all that without mentioning a top 5 wide receiver in Brandon Marshall.

Just when I want to give you some credit you go and do this LMAO Geez, those guys ONLY have only won 1 SB each they had nothing to do with it. Obviously Alex could have taken those teams to the SB right? LMAO

I completely agree. I really hope that he looked at the the film of Thursdays game, and saw what I think most people saw. The offense in the 4th quarter, is how this team will be best prepared to win. The run blocking was exceptional in the 4th quarter. Jamaal Charles ran harder than I have seen him run this year, and Anthony Sherman, for as much grief as people gave the chiefs for getting him, was blowing up dudes.....

Oline isn't a convinient excuse. They've been horrible this season. Even Jamaal Charles doesnt look good in the first halves of games running behind them. The Oline is what's holding the team back.
