He scored more points than any Chiefs QB ever has in the playoffs.
Injuries and a lack of depth on D shit that game away, end of story.

I don't blame Smith the way I blame Cassel for the playoff losses, but let's not act like Smith played perfectly. He was partly at fault for that loss. Again, if he could manage a sustained drive of longer than 3 lousy minutes in the 3rd and 4th quarters, the Colts run out of time and we win the game. One or two first downs would have done it.
If you want to point to a Chiefs QB who's 100% not at fault for his playoff loss, then you want Trent Green in 2003. Alex Smith could have done a few things to seal the victory that he failed at.
Yes, injuries and defense. That's 80% of the reason why we lost, but it's pretty ****ing digusting how our offense just completely shut the **** down in the 2nd half. We did EVERYTHING the Colts needed us to do (bad time management and all) in order to give them a shot at getting back into the game. And that's through all those 3-and-outs. It's an offensive failure coupled with RB injuries and a Knile Davis fumble, but SOMEBODY is at the helm of that offensive shutdown. Guess who that is?
Do you also not blame Alex Smith at all for the Giants loss when he was in San Francisco? There were a SHIT TON of things he could have done differently to win that game. Like convert a 3rd down. That would have helped. Same story here. I'm not even ****ing asking for more points. I'm asking for a single goddamn first down at ANY point in about a 25-minute period of regulation.
Can't muster that up? Then sorry, but you're partly to blame for the loss.
