It's so frustrating that we don't see that Alex very often.

No question. Because even a franchise QB doesn't pull off that drive more than half the time. Putting yourself in a 'do or die' situation where you have to score and get the conversion is a losing proposition far more often than it isn't.
He has to stop doing that and nobody's arguing it. But damn, he looked pretty good when he had to. That throw to Hill was 10 times harder than it looked. Across his body under pressure before the WR made his break. That was a nails throw by any measure and about as hard a play as you'll see a QB make. With the game (and any shot at the division) on the line, he made a baller-ass throw. Gotta tip your cap there.

Maybe less of a prevent and more of a "defense being tired as shit". You could see it with our defense as well.

Well yeah, but it's not as though our offense wasn't on fumes as well. Altitude's a bitch and those guy (Smith included) had been taking shots all night. Smith's willingness to stay in there and not check out on that game is commendable. He took a lot of hits and I'm pretty sure he wanted that game to be over just as much as any of the defenders he was facing. He's demonstrated uncanny resolve several times and I really think the road Buffalo game in 2014 was the best example of it. That's when I really noticed that the guy simply doesn't quit on games even when he sure appears to have every reason to do so.
For everything Smith isn't, he's a tough SOB and I'll always respect that about him.

Well....

Yeah, I'd just like to see him in that spot a little less often by virtue of making more plays in the first 3 quarters. Like I said - even the all timers can't count on completing that drive more than a fraction of the time.
