I wish we could go back in time, keep Jamaal out for the first half like he was, then bring him back in for the second half. Holy balls, Indy's goose would have been cooked.

Well, ultimately, the QB is responsible. He's the one calling for the snap.

However, when your QB is repeatedly going full reerun and calling for the snap with 13 on the clock when you're trying to hold a lead - someone should step up and make him aware - whether it be a coach or a fellow player.

Why doesn't Andy Reid just have one guy whose sole job is to advise him on clock management?

Seriously. Anyone on CP would happily do that job in exchange for his current salary.

It is strange, for sure.

Seriously, I've played guys in Madden with more situational awareness than Reid's shown in his time here.

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.

same thing can be said about your brood.

Smith plays well but some still only focus on the few mistakes he made
Bowe plays well and some defend/ignore the mistakes he made


petulant

Holy ****, you're reeruned.

I'm the ONLY person in this thread that isn't blaming a single player or position group.

Dipshit.

My apologies, Ed. I apparently missed it.

I understand you lose as a team, and that there were things the O and Smith could've done to pull out the win, but it's small, very small compared to what really lost the game.

Answer this. Regardless of not running the clock or missing a few throws. Should the Chiefs have won with what Smith did? Were the numbers the O put up enough for a team to win nine times out of ten? Hell 19 times out of 20. The O played winning football without the one player everyone here would say they CAN'T win without. I have no complaints with the O.

I'm fine with it being a team loss, but there's way too many people solely blaming Alex Smith, when he played a solid game. It's irritating.
