Our offense just sucks all around. The offensive line doesn't open up any holes without serious misdirection, Reid doesn't stick with the ground game to save his dick, and Alex's unwillingness to throw the ball down the field effectively forces us to face 8 man fronts week in and week out.
He had a fumble today, yeah. He fumbles every once in a while, yeah. The thing is, and why I'm so critical of Smith and not of the greatest playmaker this franchise has ever witnessed, Jamaal's production FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRR outweighs his gaffes. You say he's lost 3 fumbles all year? I say he's squeaked out at least 400 yards and 5 or so TDs that the average back would have had no prayer in making. Look no further than this ****ing team. Knile is averaging what now? It's got to be dangerously close to 2.9 YPC. Jamaal is averaging 5 despite not being given enough carries to find any kind of rhythm.
He's our best and most consistent player and has been since he took the starting spot back in 2009. He's played big in big games and he's done it often. He had, probably, his best game of the season against the Seahawks not long ago. He had 3 TDs against the Patriots. He does play well in big games.

Agreed with Virus here. Charles is the main focus for every defensive cordinator we face. Teams are selling out to stop him. Alex has a chance to get some respect and back up the defense up and he misses a wide upen wilson that could've been a easy seven. If Alex plays like a 68 mil like he should the oline looks better, Rb look better and a receivers are getting more balls, but alex keeps doing it to himself by dinking and dunking and drawing everything towards the line of scrimmage.
