The beauty of this game, is that it takes all 11 guys to perform their jobs correctly. One missed read, block, tackle is all it takes.

None of that matters if Alex doesn't throw the INT and we at least kick the 3. That interception and the stupid timeout at the end of the 1st half by Reid that gave TB a FG to end the half were absolutely inexcusable. Andy Reid should never have called the timeout. Andy Reid should have never called a pass play on 2nd and GL with 12 min left, ESPECIALLY THAT ONE...and Alex should have never thrown at a double covered Conley without even looking anywhere else.
That's why it's on Reid and the QB. Because Reid is supposedly a good head coach...yet continues to suck at such simple stuff as clock management and he's not a very good play caller either.
Alex Smith is supposedly a game manager who doesn't make mistakes...yet here he is, firing directly into the arms of Chris "Thanks, Lovie" Conte for a backbreaking pick that is returned to the 50, in the 4th quarter.
Which, TigerUppercut, resulted in the ONLY TB TD of the game, due to the short field on the interception return. Because Alex left the defense in a bad position. Because he's just not a very good QB anymore.
Which is why the Chiefs lost. In case anyone was wondering.
