btw - it just rolled across the screen on the NFL Network "Chiefs want to extend Alex Smith ......."


it said 'want' not 'working on' but i imagine that is just the first bit of smoke

Simply Bowe lost his place on the field, I don't blame him though.

Simply is should never ever come down to that.

I didn't say he had to jump.

I had this argument with Jasonauto about a catch earlier this year.

If Bowe just raises his arms and catches the ball above his shoulder(no jump) then he gets the ball a step earlier. Bowe stays in bounds AND the defender has almost no chance to turn his head to knock the ball away.

The only chance the defender has is if the WR screws up the catch and Bowe did ... again.

For me, I will never understand the call on 1st down at the Colts 42 yard line. We had just gashed them for 25 yards and 13 yards on two consecutive plays to begin the drive from our own 20.

And then we run Gray for 3 yards. That play is the one the sealed our doom IMO.

2nd and 7. 39 yardline. That is no man's land. They know we are probably going to pass there, and got to us with the blitz.

We will never know, but I think we could have made another pass play work on first down that would have put us around the 30 yardline and in FG range.

Then if you want to get conservative and run clock... make a few yards and get in for a closer FG to win it... fine.

Yeah, that angle is enlightening for sure. It makes my back hurt just looking at how much Bowe turned around for the ball while running. It was a great catch ruined by poor position on the field by Bowe.

I take back what I said yesterday about this play, and milkman is right as usual.

Isnt if funny how ONE SINGLE word can completely confuse an entire post.

Im going to assume that it should be DO?

great point! :mad:

I didn't say you did. Sorry to of implied that if I did. I was just commenting out of frustration.

Sorry.

Yeah, thanks for pointing that out. Post doesn't make sense as written.

Careful. The Bowe Brigade will be out in force if you critique their love child.

Not that I don't think Bowe is good. Its just upsetting because he should be GREAT.

I have kept saying why Andy why, if ever there was a time to run the ball that was it.
You could just see blitz, terrible play call.

Yes they should sign him.
Usual wasn't fan of trade blah blah blah but he played with a different attitude than I have seen in the past. That more decisive attitude trusting his instincts showed in his play. To me it boils down to can AS go on a 3-4 game run like Flacco did last year?
Yes I think he can. I would have not thought that before the playoff game.

This is intensely ironic.

This thread is comedy ****ing gold...

Let me preface this by saying again - Smith had a great game.

But some of y'all are ****ing hypocrites.

People bitch and moan all year about Bowe raising his game. What's he do in the playoffs?

150 and a score. Great game, yet people just want to focus on one play.

Meanwhile, Alex raises HIS game as well, and people want to ignore the mistakes he made.

Some of y'all don't even know what your arguing about anymore.

There's not a player or coach who is blameless in this loss. No one played/coached a perfect game. If it makes you feel better to blame just Bowe or Lewis, while absolving others, feel free.

But you look like petulant children in doing so.

Wait a minute here! Its ok to talk about Alex's awesome stats, but not Bowes or the 4 turnovers forced by the D that enabled that 28 point lead dammit!
