Alex Smith is a solid QB, sorry haters. Bucs win 5th game in a row.
Despite the common thought here that Alex Smith held down the team Sunday, Smith's overall production to the team yesterday graded out very positive in 3 rankings:
Smith: QBR 94.1, QB rating 99, PFF 71.9 Winston: QBR 83.6, QB rating 97, PFF 50.7 ![]() https://www.profootballfocus.com/pro...-for-bucs-win/ "Smith gained positive expected points (EPA) on 77 percent of his plays on Sunday, the second-highest rate for a QB in a game this season (Dak Prescott, 83 percent versus Chicago in Week 3). Put simply, more than three-fourths of his plays contributed to the team’s scoring margin, given the context and situation." - http://www.espn.com/blog/statsinfo/p...s-excels-again This is why we should use our brains instead of repeating the garbage fed to us by Mellinger and Teicher. If Smith only had 34 plays yesterday to do something with the ball and earns both a rushing and passing TD, a FG, to 1 INT (first red zone interception since 2013) and completes an outstanding 77% of passes ... we should probably focus on the real problem yesterday: The Defense. Who didn't show up and allowed Winston/Martin to hold the ball for 35 minutes, earn 24 first downs, and convert 68% of 3rd downs (league average is 40%). Against the Bucs... Alex Smith: 1 INT, 99 QB rating Philip Rivers: 2 INTs, 80 QB rating Russell Wilson: 2 INTs, 39 QB rating Drew Brees: 3 INTs, 49 QB rating Last edited by TigeRRUppeRRcut; 12-11-2016 at 09:10 PM.. |

Alex Smith is just too careful and too analytical. He'll probably be thinking about the interception in the endzone for the next 7 or 8 years. Sadly, Reid is also a critical, analytical type. When these two guys get together, watch out, sparklers and snakes will break out all over the place.
Hard to argue with Reid/Smith's record, but Lord have mercy, we are certainly one boring offensive football team.....even when we win. If it were a contest between paint drying and our offensive prowess, I'd bet on paint every time. Is it asking to much to be entertained by the offensive side of our football team? Sorry, but 3 field goals and a touchdown just ain't doing it for me. I want to see an offense that isn't painful to watch. As far as entertainment value goes, if it came down to watching a dentist pull teeth or see this offense perform, I'd take a good session of teeth pulling over this abortion of an offense. Hey, it's Andy's team, so if this is how he wants to run an offense, so be it. I just don't enjoy watching it, nor can I get on board with supporting Reid or Smith in their lame efforts to resuscitate this carcass of an offense. But, we've still got a lot of season left, and who knows, maybe this offense will catch fire. I'm still betting on paint. |

Anyone that has Alex Smith on their fantasy football team is most likely fighting to stay out of last place.

That definitely was a team loss yesterday.
You hardly ever see a team get a first down to run the clock out at Arrowhead in a one score game when the Chiefs have an above .500 team. As much people want to complain about the offense. I am very confident that they would have drove for the winning FG if Tampa had to punt with 2:00 left in the game.
