you Q'd me, but it might have been in another thread

Good summary.

Avery dropped a pass that led to a long 3rd and 14, which was bailed out by a good pitch and catch by Smith to Jenkins. Avery dropped a pass on the 6 yard line which was bailed out by a good catch and run by McCluster (gained 5 yards and would have scored a TD if not for a facemasking penalty).

I don't remember where else there were drops. I could swear that Avery also dropped a back shoulder pass too.

Wow, what an unbelievable accomplishment! They must have been behind quite a bit that year.

Yup. Sure were.

The dropped passes matter whether the Chiefs went on to score or not.
That argument is moot imo.
They are game changers energy builders momentum builders confidence creators.
Even watching on TV you could hear/sense the crowd throw up in their laps on a couple of the dropped balls that were key.
It seems apparent that Reid decided going into the Hard part of our schedule it was time to let the offense play and see what they were capable of.
By offense I of course mean Alex throwing the ball past the line of scrimmage.
I doubt Reid expected our Defense to fall off the charts this bad.
And if it did not we wouldn't of lost to the Bolts and could've split with the donks.
That said back to the dropped passes.
As many of you have said there is no one rock solid player who the Chiefs can be sure 9 out of 10 times will come down with the ball.
On just about every other team you can name the go to guy.
I hate to bring this up but Tony G was that guy for soooo many yrs.
3rd and 11 incoming play to Tony.
Last yr it seemed Bowe might be the guy ..the beginning of this yr it seemed Avery might be...sprinkle in the Beard...
But no nobody has become the go to guy that Alex/Reid need.
So yes all these drops matter whether we went on to score or not they've hurt the confidence they've hurt the way play calls might've gone.
I think Reid needs to see what Hemmingway can really do and I suspect hes going to do just that.. its 90% that we will be the 5th seed so its time to see whos going to step up...
..interviews take place on the field of battle.

I was 50/50 on Alex from signing right thru the bye week.
And like many no matter how odd it may be I feel Way better about the Alex I've seen thru the 3 game losing skid.

As Solid as your post is, every time I try to explain that the Chiefs have probably the weakest set of skill position players in the league, I get shouted down.

Its all Alex Smiths fault that we don't see the potential of these great play makers. A team so studly at the wide receiver positions that last years number three receiver for the Colts, wasn't kept, and instead replaced with another first round bust in Darius Heyward-Bey, and you know how impressive your wideouts are when Dexter McCluster, all 5'7 of him, is your slot receiver.

And not to mention the AMAZING set of tight ends.

Fasano, the journeyman, who is a fine second or third tight end. McGrath, who has seen his star fade a bit, Kelce who could of been good but looks to be a carbon copy of Tony Brokiaki.

The Chiefs in the worst way, need to upgrade. I think that Charles, Knile has real potential. But the wideouts have to be upgraded, and Alex Smiths Binky has always been the Tight end. They must address that as well. And they will.

The weakest set of skill position players in the league?

Nah.

Bottom half of the league? Sure.

Just having Bowe and Charles puts them in the middle of the pack.

Because you are wrong. Like Boss said, Charles & Bowe puts us middle of the pack.

Nope, not talking about charles. Name the teams that are worse at just wr/te than the chiefs.

Charles isn't a skill position player?

WHAT

THE

****

???

I'm strictly talking about receivers and tight ends.

Everyone knows how great Charles is.

Not taking into account all the good players, Alex Smith has nothing to work with. /Smithfans

Awww. Like i said. Tell me the teams in the league that are worse than the chiefs at wr/te. Good luck!
