Alex's fault Davis didn't hit the hole fast on 3rd and goal.

Looks like Davis already had both arms wrapped around that football. He looks terrified of fumbling and I hope he can get that worked out because he could be great.

What?

He's ****ing slow as hell.

As far as 3 deep goes at HB I like what we have. He's dependable, doesn't fumble, seems to read the play well and follow his blockers. Seems to pass protect reasonably well.

He's just ****ing slow.

It's no slam on him or Smith. He's use to Charles running that and now we're down to the guy who adds extra meat on your burrito at Taco Bell to catch a pass...

He'd be better off with the Tiki method of carrying the ball. He looks like Okoye trying to run for 3 yards and a cloud of dust when he covers it like that and that's not what he is.

Okoye was the exact same weight coming out (238) and Davis has a better 40 time.

They don't run with the same style, Davis gets injured if you insult him at the local grocer, and Okoye almost never fumbled (after year 2.)

Okoye - Davis, the only comparison I see between these two is how Davis ran last week, those saying he was covering up the ball like a HS fullback had it about right, he oftentimes was... and Okoye always did the same thing.

Davis is far faster and shiftier by a mile, his cutting ability past the first level is above anything Okoye could do... Knile just needs to get comfortable with the ball in one arm, the cuts will come after that.

I'm a RB specialist, Knile is going to be a STAR... he just needs to forget the past.

I, and many others, do not accept a "credit" that says "well he may have led us to 44, but what about the second half?"

I'll tell you all about the second half... WHERE. WAS. THE. DAMN. DEFENSE... thats your second half summary, no ****ing QB rules for four quarters straight, maybe a HOFer twice a year at most... thats it, THATS. IT.

No Davis, No Charles, No Avery, Indy made adjustments on both sides of the ball. The Chiefs players were dropping like flies. Yes, Alex made some mistakes.

I still don't get how anyone can boil this down to just him.

I really don't. In my humble idiotic point of view.

If ANYONE is getting the blame, for me, its Kendrick Lewis.

That's just me though.

I just cant see dreads being a hindrance, if anything, those thick, tight mats are another layer of cushion inside the helmet.

I guess I see them as a collapsible cushion that allows your head to rattle around in the can and a hindrance to proper helmet fitting. I seem to remember almost needing two hands to pull the helmet on and them not wanting any movement or "rattle" once it was on.

Watching Lewis flip his helmet off by simply hitting the straps made it seem obvious his helmet is just sitting on his dread decorated pile of slow.

You are the supervisor of a 2-person team at work and you have assigned a deadline for a crucial project. The project is of a specialized nature so you cannot contribute to its successful completion. One person on the team is a jackoff and does very little to contribute to the project. The other guy is busting his hump putting in 14 hour days for 5 days straight. It's the weekend and the project is due Monday morning. The project is to the point where it can be finished with about 4 hours work over the weekend. Over the weekend the jack off does nothing, and the over achiever says, "I've done my part, I'm out". The project fails and you lose the client to a competitor.

Performance reviews are the next week. Obviously you give the jackoff a very poor performance review. No question about it.

How do you handle the other guy? Sounds like 90% of the people here want to give him a raise.

Yes, 62 points was outstanding and I give him credit (lie), BUT that was all accomplished by the end of the third quarter...are you really going to tell me he couldnt have gotten us another seven in the fourth? Is THAT too much to ask?

You're ****ing unreal and so are your expectations... if you cant throw this on the defense 100% then just join Big Cat Doody in the midden out back, with takes like this you're no better than that.

So, Alex and the offense is to blame for the defense's inability to stop the Colts offense?

cdcox 01-09-2014 09:06 AM

At the beginning of the Chiefs last 4 down series on offense, they had a 57% chance of winning despite all the tomfoolery of the defense. The game was still there for the taking.

The D allowed 35 points in the 2nd half. That's the only number that matters.

Scoring 44 points puts you in position to win almost every time.

True, but you also have to acknowledge that the shitty d also gave the offense prime field position with 4 takeaways to contribute to those points. Those 44 points weren't 80 yard drives and the defense and a HUGE part in that 44 points.

The worst part is D couldn't even slow them down, how many times did their scoring drives take under 2 minutes?

You can't score 35 points in a half if takes 10 minutes to score each time.

JFC just slow them down. The D might as well not even been on the field.

Yes, if someone bitched about Romo's performance vs Denver than they shouldn't be happy with Alex in this game.

This is so ironic that anyone that has a different opinion of what they perceive happened, is "stupid" or "dumb."
It runs pretty consistent with this "Alex was perfect" group and it makes me think they are trying to convince themselves they are right because they don't like the scenario if they are wrong.

None of us like it, but some of us are realists and see it for what it is.

He is good, but not great.

Sure. I could copy and paste 99% of your post and I'm feeling generous today.

Hence, my comment about Alex responding after the fumble while Luck went into GOD MODE.

They bitched about Romo because he turned the ball over.

The games/QB performances are even close in comparison, you are just not wanting to admit your wrong now.

This thread is enlightening.

It's the weekend and the project is due Monday morning. The project is to the point where it can be finished with about 4 hours work over the weekend. Over the weekend the jack off does nothing, and the over achiever says, "I've done my part, I'm out". The project fails and you lose the client to a competitor.

Performance reviews are the next week. Obviously you give the jackoff a very poor performance review. No question about it.

How do you handle the other guy? Sounds like 90% of the people here want to give him a raise.

:clap:

He played a hell of a first half, but he wasn't the only one.

Te defense absolutely completely shat their collective britches in the second half, but why do most discount the turnovers caused and the times they gave the ball to the offense in scoring position only to walk away with 3 rather than 7.

A hell of a lot more lies at the feet of the defense than the offense, but it's silly IMHO to let them completely wash their hands of it.


This is likely one topic though that many will never agree on.

It's obvious that some people here will never change. Once they've made up their mind about someone, they'll never see him as good enough, even if he plays as good as one should realistically expect.

I hated Alex Smith, at first. I thought he was a slightly better Matt Cassel. Now I know that he's more around the level of Trent Green, and I know what good he did back in the day. If other people don't want to admit it, then they can wallow in their own hatred until they get their golden boy. As for me? This is the best QB we've had in a decade and until he starts sucking, I'll support him.

No one said he is perfect or great.

Blaming Alex for this loss is asinine.
