He is what he is...an above average QB.
Any pressure during the last 1:00 seals the game...where was Houston or Ford? Those are the moments your $100 million pass rusher has to step up. A sack screws them...they had no time outs.
I dont understand Sutton not using a blitz...knowing they had to throw downfield.

I agree that the pass rush was absent in both home losses. And I agree that Smith's play in the 4th quarter, and in overtime, was the main factor in winning the San Diego game. But the Denver game, no, he was just a small part of the winning equation.
Houston"s sack for the safety, and Hill"s subsequent kick return for a touchdown, had more to do with winning the game than Smith's play. The officials played a huge part in the win, overturning the call on the field that Hill was down prior to crossing the goal line. Remember, the booth called for a review 1 second before time expired. After some of the ridiculously bad officiating this year in the NFL, it's a minor miracle that it was even reviewed at all, much less ruled a touchdown. Smith was 26 for 44 for only 220 yards. That's a 59% completion percentage. He threw the ball 44 times, netting a total of just 190 after adjusting for sack yardage.
