Right. Unless we lose, then you guys always blame Alex Smith.

I just find it odd that KC has had garbage offensive lines and receivers for four straight seasons.

Isn't that what it is all about?

The people that don't enjoy it because they hate the QB should maybe find a more enjoyable pastime. Why watch something that makes you miserable? The rest of us will enjoy the winning and the BBQ while it lasts.

What about the people who hate more then the qb on offense I honestly believe our offensive problems are more then Alex.

Our receivers aren't bad this year (except for a couple of tight ends that can't catch the ball). Smith has thrown to 9 or 10 receivers in a game several times this year. The OL has been hit with injuries but is still decent. "Garbage" is an exaggeration.

Some of us can enjoy the wins and hate the losses, while some of you can't enjoy the game even when we are winning. I would seriously stop watching if I couldn't enjoy a 7-2 season.

It just seems like last year to me but worse on offense so it's just more of the same this team doesn't look like it's grown at all on offense.

Offensive line is looking better

Ill take winning regular season then losing in the playoffs everyday over the shitshow we had the majority of time from 2007-2012. Every single time.

I do get the 'battered wife syndrome' alot of Chiefs fans have with the team though.

The 'Monster around every corner' has been true for the most part. That wont change until they win the big ones.

But i will never sit around and not enjoy winning. never.

Who are the Pac-12 football people around here? This is the first time I've seen Luke Falk for Washington St and he is throwing dimes all over the place.

Same here.

The last thing CP needs is another Alex thread, so I'm not going to start a new one, but this is a pretty fair assessment of Alex's performance last game.

Overall summary:

Quote:

Overall, Smith just looked OFF. His timing didn’t seem to quite be there, and he spent a lot of the day looking flustered upon re-watching. I have no idea what the problem was. It could be that Smith is still hurt. It could be that Carolina’s VERY zone-heavy defense (I bet they’re in zone twice as often as any other team I’ve watched this year, if not more) messed with Smith’s presnap reads and he had trouble compensating. I don’t know. But he absolutely needs to play better if the Chiefs want to make a run this year. That’s on him.

The flip side of that coin is that more than a few times, Smith DID make the correct play and/or the offense was finding a rhythm, and something totally out of Smith’s control happened.

...

If the rest of the offense plays an average day, I’m not sure we would be looking at the Carolina game the same way. If even a couple of those dropped throws are caught, the Chiefs very likely put up another six points or more on the scoreboard. If a few of those false starts and free blitzers go away, several drives are quite likely sustained that were later snuffed out on 3rd and long. What you had with Carolina was a situation where Smith was playing “meh” football and the rest of the team followed suit. As a result, the offense as a whole completely stunk and Smith is now receiving the lion’s share of the blame (which hey, is part of being the quarterback and pretty deserved).

With no growth on offense it won't last I wish people would just acknowledge that we have regressed on the offensive side of the ball

That is pretty fair. Alex looked rusty, and seemed to be afraid of getting hit when he ran, running out of bounds well before the defender was close to him. The rest of the O looked bad too. Dropped passes, stupid drive stopping penalties, etc. I'm hoping a lot of it is just getting back in sync with Smith after playing the week before with Foles. We'll see tomorrow if they are more in sync, I would expect it.
