So, no, it's not petty.
That was a huge factor in allowing that comeback.

Ok, I agree that he doesn't have in-game smarts. I've ragged on him a lot about that. It's still petty because you have to put those mistakes in context with the successes. And the blame here should be shared with Reid who could have easily put a stop to that shit. Smith still played a plus game and a plus second half. On the list of players to blame for the loss, he is probably one of the bottom of the list, which is rare to say for a QB.
I completely get what you're saying. If I was just talking to you, I'd agree. But there are people using things like that as an excuse to dig on Smith.
