Cornerback ball skills were also absent yesterday. Ron Parker had a good chance to intercept Winston in the end zone, as did Acker, but neither could bring them in. Winston's too good of a QB to let those chances slip away.
The other thing of note is Smith. The mantra for the past 3+ seasons is play smart, be conservative, don't make risky throws and mistakes. Yet two weeks in a row, he's made very poor decisions, which cost the Chiefs a win yesterday.
If Smith continues to perform in this manner, I think there's no reason why Reid shouldn't turn to Foles, who's younger and throws a better deep ball. If the QB is going to make mistakes, I'd rather have the guy who has a better chance of routinely throwing successful deeps balls as opposed to the guy that doesn't.
I can't express how much I dislike the WCO, especially Reid's horizontal WCO. I pine for the days of the Coryell.
