The Broncos WRs have dropped 22 balls this year.

Chiefs WRs? 17.

Sheeeit.

Get a pass?

Dude, he threw for 293 yards and ran for another 46.

He could have had 450 yards of total offense if is receivers would have helped him out.

I wouldn't be one bit surprised if Avery is replaced by Hemmingway in the starting lineup going forward after the last couple games. I can't see how Alex can still have any trust in Avery.

Avery had 91 yards and a TD against the Chargers. I don't think he's in danger of being replaced anytime soon.

Depends on where you look.

On 610 after the game, they were rattling off stats that we were 4th in the NFL in drops going into the game with 23 and that we were credited with 5 more drops in the Denver game.

They also referenced that Andy Reid wasnt happy about the drops after the game and how he said that he values a receivers ability to make the catch above all else.

I'm betting that Avery is on thin ice.

Should be.

Every QB needs at least one dependable target. We don't have one guy we can depend on with great hands...

We aren't talking about the entire season. We all know Alex Smith has been shit most of the season. We're talking about a strong performance against Denver. AJ Jenkins and Fasano dropped passes that I think were 20+ yards. Donnie Avery dropped a pass that I think was around 30 yards (second time he's done that in 3 weeks). One 3 and out was the result of 2 drops.

We're not talking about receivers dropping screen passes or muffed passes. We're talking about drops on perfectly thrown balls, and many of them for big yardage. Who would have guessed that one of our most reliable hands guy for intermediate throws would be McCluster.

Smith finally ups his game and the entire rest of the team $#its the bed...

I'm not giving up hope. Cooper is a young guy and is going to grow with experience, as long as he doesn't lose his confidence. I am hoping that the loss takes pressure off us to win out at all costs, which hopefully gives us opportunities to rest our defense and Jamaal Charles.

If Smith continues to play at this rate, our defense is rested up, and we can continue to see improvements from Cooper and our young guys, maybe we can steal a game or two in the playoffs. And fully understand that while I'm pleased with Smith's growth, he has to close drives late in games too.

Also in 2006, he is one of only 3 or 4 Qbs in history of NFL to not only start and play all 16 games, but actually play every single snap start to finish. His shoulder injury was a fluke hit by the Seattle nose tackle and then the moron Mike Nolan threw him under the bus when he wasnt healthy, ran him back out there and his shoulder was injured again. He is a tough QB and playin some pretty good ball right now.

Percentage?

Everytime i see your posts, I get this image of a child. You're telling me peyton's receivers dropped deep passes that were crucial in the game? i only remember a couple of drops. there were 5 in 3rd quarter/beginning of 4th alone. our wrs dropped game changing deep passes that would've at least given us field goals.

Please. It sickens me when you talk like a child. All you're trying to do is save face from all the smith bashing you've done prior and that's why you say dumb stuff like that. You don't have to be a fan of him but don't say stupid stuff when smith has been the bright spot of our team recently. Child, please.

Doing some digging into the drive charts, the drop passes by Avery occurred on a drive that the Chiefs scored on.

The only legit dropped pass gripes were the one drive when AJ Jenkins and Fasano dropped balls.

It's NOT giving Smith a pass to talk about the Wrs drops. It's just not ignoring them to hate Alex Smith like you do

That has actually been one of his strengths in the past. But of course, it's not going to happen every time. Over all, he played a pretty damn good game I thought. And while every QB has to deal with drops, the number of drops he had to deal with on Sunday was just ridiculous.
