Brady has been suspended for the better part of the season.

It's not about stats. However it is about making plays. QB's will in all likelihood have to step up and be a big part of a win to get through the playoffs. Even in the years where QBs who aren't elite won it happened. Flacco played the best football of his life when the Ravens won and they needed him to. They also needed luck. Same thing with the Giants. Eli made some incredible throws in those SB's to beat NE twice. He also had that luck.

If KC expects to get past NE, and possibly beat a SEA, they will need Smith to really step up in those games. No matter how SEA is playing now, I expect them and NE to be incredibly tough to beat in the playoffs. You aren't beating them by just playing not to lose, which is absolutely how I thought we played against NE last year. I hated how that game played out and the game plan the coaches had.

Also, while your post on QB yards bears out your point well, listing Brady as 27th and implying that as part of your support is a little disingenuous. I would have thrown an asterisk on that one.

We've seen Alex Smith play better in the playoffs than the regular season. It is not out of the question.

I'm pretty sure this means the offense will look good, since your football takes are always wrong.
