I got this attachment from arrowheadpride. Sorry if I am reposting.

Its on the Sherman fumble. I dunno if Denver's D leaves two guys open because they know Alex is going to throw in the flat. But the worrying aspect is that Alex doesn't seem to move the coverage by looking off defenders. What if he just pump faked to Sherman and threw to those wide open targets.

Q

Then his name wouldn't be Alex Smith.

Correct, from a calendar year perspective.... but, you could include several other months, too, I guess.

LMAO

That's a bunch of 100% crap, Axl went down the field over ten times sunday.

Some were poorly thrown... many were dropped with no excuses.

Be critical, but be fair.

I dunno if Alex sees something different than what we do on these plays. That has to be it right, otherwise how could he pass to Sherman despite having great pass protection.
But what is going through Reid's mind as he watches tape? I am sure these are Alex's tendencies. Isn't the QB guru supposed to coach up QB play in such situations?

Oh please, you know full well what the term "game manager" refers to. If intellectual dishonesty is all Alice's supporters have at this point, that speaks volumes.

Lol "wide open."

Yeah, I remember that Matt douche. Reminds me of him.

What are these down field drops everyone is referring to?

I can only remember three. The one to Avery to start the game, one a short time later on a sideline pass to Bowe, and another late in the game that was high and behind that Bowe also dropped.

The thing is, the one to Bowe on the sideline ended up netting us a first down as the DB was called for holding and the one that was high and behind was late in the game when it hardly mattered (we ended up scoring on the pass to Fasano a couple plays later).

The Avery drop, as egregious as it was, was very early in the game. We still had over 50 minutes to play; you've got to be able to overcome that...

Chiefs – Three Performances of Note

A New Alex Smith?

The biggest knock I and others have had on the Chiefs has been their lack of a passing attack, especially one downfield. Well, against Denver we got a glimpse of something that with some more fine tuning might add another dimension to this offense.

The previously gun shy Alex Smith (+1.6) would attempt 14 passes over 10 yards in the air and the biggest shame was that his receivers (four drops, three of them critical) couldn’t make the catches to give Smith that stat to go with his excellent throws. These four drops don’t even include his peach of a throw that bested the coverage of Chris Harris with 8:25 to go in Q2 (the play was called back for holding away from the target), where Smith fitted it in between the sideline and Harris only for Bowe to drop.

Still it was encouraging to see the team open up the playbook and by and large have their quarterback respond.

Boy you shut down this bitch-fest real quick.

It's not that the Chiefs aren't winning the way I (or others) want...

It's that the Chiefs are winning using a formula that is proven to fail in postseason far, far, far more often than it is to succeed.

This formula will consistently beat mediocre teams and absolutely destroy terrible teams. But against good/elite teams, you need extreme luck to win with this formula.

First half for Alex Smith was very encouraging. He made a lot of the throws he NEEDS to make for this offense to be more than a weight at the team's ankles.

He and the offense regressed in the second half, until the game was effectively over.
