"Alex Smith makes your defense better"
Article from Arrowhead Pride. Talks of the apparent positive effects of Smith's game on the defense.
This won't change any minds... Smith-baters have been saying this for a while now, but at least someone put it on paper and put some numbers to it for discussion. Have at it everyone... http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2015/6...defense-better |

There is no link.
I did the math on my own a couple of months ago. Posted it here.

Why?
Shit we could have ran the play clock to 1, ran the ball, and probably drained it |

It still doesn't matter to me. You've got a guy who played at a hall of fame level save for a few mistakes, maybe including clock management. And in this case, I can't blame him for closing because he threw a good enough pass to set up a game winning field goal. So in the grand scheme of things, it's seems petty for people to even bring this game up as one of Smith's shortcomings. This is one of the few games in his career at KC that I thought we actually have a QB who can win some playoff games for us. |

If anything, I was furious that Andy Reid went in a shell in the second half, not the other way around. He went away from everything that was working. |

We could ha e ran it 3 times, punted and burned enough time off to keep them from scoring enough points.
Yardage, points, first downs, etc didn't matter. It was time. |

I really don't understand the logic. A 3 and out burns 2:00 off the clock. The Chiefs averaged well over 2:00 per drive in TOP in the 3rd quarter. And in the process, got a few extra first downs which helped pin the Colts for worse field position. Yeah, you avoid the Alex Smith fumble but apart from that, I don't get the logic behind going into a shell behind a horrendous run offense.

When we traded for Smith, one of the things that his followers constantly poited out was his game smarts. Not burning clock is not smart, and had he done so, there would not have been enough time for the Colts to score enough points tot come all the way back. So, no, it's not petty. That was a huge factor in allowing that comeback.

I don't get the 7 minutes of time wasted. I just looked at this and that's not right.

What does the defender knocking the ball out of Bowe's hands have to do with this?

The Chiefs had 2 running plays inbounds before that and people blame that on Alex.
Unreal. Bowe is the most overrated player this franchise has EVER had. E-V-E-R.
