Football Outsiders ranks the Chiefs pass protection at #22, not awful but not good. Pretty bad. They looked worse than 22nd last night.

Perhaps.

With worse pass protection.

It was insane that Bridgewater dropped in the draft just because of 1 bad pro day. It is as if all the QB scouts forgot all of his college tape and focused only on that 1 terrible pro day.

Mind boggling.

Now Manziel was a much bigger risk and he scares me a bit, but I was literally suprised when Dorsey passed on Bridgewater. I saw him fall to 23 and I thought, "Chiefs take him. NO WAY they let him slip further".

They didn't want to challenge Smith's ego. He couldn't handle having a legit competitor for his job.

Oh, to have Smith playing out the string on his contract with a young QB waiting in the wings to replace him.

Chiefs would have major leverage and could either give him less cash with more outs, or let him walk and slide in the rook.

Based on what Bridgewater has done this year in a much worse situation, it would be a pretty nice spot to be in.

It would require taking a chance on a first-round QB and getting very little on-field contribution from the 2014 first-round pick. They just couldn't afford to get nothing from that pick this year, I guess.

Oh, wait...

The Chiefs handed the keys to Alex just like they did with Cassel. It's ****ing pathetic.

How has Smith only thrown 10 passes over 20 yards?

He's just a gutless character

Um. Cleveland has Joe thomas Joel Bitonio alex mack and Mitchell Schwartz.

In a thread of complete reerunation, this might be the dumbest.

What ego? That's one of his biggest problems. Zero swag, ego killer instinct.

Mack is hurt now but back to the Hall of Famer.

According to ProFootballFocus.com, Thomas has allowed a league-low six pressures in 10 games. Six linemen allowed six or more pressures in Week 11 alone.

Left over Right side doesn't matter as much nowadays but to know you have 1 rock solid as as hell guy on your o-line makes things much easier when building crew to protect your QB.

I'd give up a testicle to have Erich Fisher suddenly turn the corner and become as good as Joe Thomas.

..how to be an elite QB in the NFL....this happened last night as well.

It's a massive league-wide conspiracy against the Chiefs since 2006. Any QB they get is not allowed to throw the ball down the field.

Its really unbelievable how that happens multiple times every. single. game.

And its never, ever called... its hard to figure.

What games do you watch where you think Eric Fisher never gets away with a hold?

easier when you don't have be worried bout your blindside.

there's holding and then there's a half a sleeper hold.

Where is that queer Mav anyway????

That is just who Alex is. How do you have 0 TDs from WRs.

I was at the hospital with my 2 month old daughter. .........

Being drafted as high as he was he had better morph into the second coming of Willie Roaf...

I give Fisher one more off-season. If he doesn't progress..he's a bust. It IS his first season at LT..after shoulder surgery. It's not like KC passed up on Randy Moss to draft him..it was a terrible year to have high picks in.

Exactly... sure Fisher holds, everyone holds... but this BLATANTLY obvious chokehold bullshit is on another level.

If you keep continuing to blame this team's lack of success on things other than their lack of talent, you will continue to get your hopes up and your dreams dashed.

We didn't lose to Denver because of a few questionable blocks.

It's so stupid how Alex is expected to be a great QB with a crap OL and crap recievers. When Manning lost Thomas and Sanders and was getting hit by the Rams he couldn't score. When Brady got pummelled, had a gimpy Gronk with Lafell not having emerged they got beat by us and Miami. When Roger OL has poor games he loses. Go back and watch their playoff games.

What Dilfer said was sooo stupid and just shows what an idiot he is. Does tthe Cowboys success have nothing to do with their OL being better?

Fisher needs to spend the offseason in the Dominican Republic, working out and taking PED's. Lots of them.

/Thread

Who's saying if the game was called better we would have won?

It's an issue that stands on its own.

There are a lot of issues.

Exposure as frauds,

A shitty draft,

A shitty roster,

Possibly shitty coaching,

why **** me; we've got a whole goddamned carnival here, son!

"Denver typically relies on four players to do most of its pass-rushing damage, but it clearly saw the success other teams have had in bringing extra pressure at Smith. When teams don’t blitz, Smith ranks an Alex Smith–like 20th in QBR, right about league average. When teams do blitz, his QBR drops from 62.8 to 25.9 — the fifth-worst mark in football."

Because when you blitz the Chiefs O-line, the game is called 'how fast can you sprint untouched?'

ROFL.

everything ok?

She had a 102.5 temp. They took blood, a urine sample and a lumbar puncture. We are waiting on her cultures. Thanks for asking bro.
