We were a good offensive team if we had the lead and were able to mix plays up. Efficient. As soon as they took our run away or as soon as we had an obvious passing down, we sucked.
I'd be willing to bet we were one of the better 3rd and short teams in the NFL, and probably one of the worst 3rd & 8 or further teams.
The band of reeruns can keep on acting like Alex Smith was THE ONLY problem, but they are just dumb. He needs to be better, and our offense needs to be better, starting with the line.
We were a 4 win team with Derek Carr.
a 9 win team with Alex Smith.
A 10 win team with Matt Ryan.
A 12 win team win with Peyton Manning.
A 13-14 win team with Russell Wilson (perfect for a team with a struggling line).

How are we a 10 win team with Matt Ryan, if he couldn't even get 6 or 7 games together to win the HORRENDOUS NFC South?? Dude has Julio and Roddy, and a running game, AND some semblance of a defense...in addition to half of last year's KC line, the parts we're supposedly missing (ie Schwartz & Asamoah)??
