Have I said the offensive unit was excellent? I said they would be fine once they got Maclin back into the system. Unfortunately, our running game has taken an absolute nose dive compared to last year's standards. Smith's TD % is at its lowest since he's been a Chief, and a lot of that has to do with Maclin out and Reid's play calling. Look in the GDT, I was critical of Smith (especially mid range throws) and Reid. I was also critical of the defensive stand on the last drive. Blame goes all across the board.
Win as a team, lose a team. What I will NOT do is think like a simple minded gorilla and blame the QB for all of this team's issues.
So...you cherry-picking one comment to fit a narrative proves nothing.
