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.. |

This might be the worst Chiefs playoff team of all time. 23rd in passing, 23rd in rushing, 20th in pass defense, 29th in run defense.

Alex made the plays he needed to when he absolutely needed to. Alex gets props for that. The fourth down pass to Hill to get them to the 3 was fantastic, as was the 2 point conversion pass to Harris. Things of beauty.
But, let's not act like Denver didn't somewhat implode in OT, either by scheme or really bad penalties at really bad times. Why, why, why do you drop back and play prevent when Alex proved for 3 7/8 quarters that he could not hit a pass against what you were running against him? Denver dared the Chiefs to win, and the Chiefs took them up on it. |

Self preservation by coaching staffs. If you blitz and get burned everyone talks about the coaching decision to blitz. If you play conservatively the talk is either about (a) the offense making plays, or (b) a particular player getting beaten. Focus isn't on the coordinator.

Smith only had 72 passing yds entering the 4th QTR. Defense/ST was key to our success.

It's not the passing yards imo. It's ineptness from play calling to execution that made it irritating to watch. Let's face it... the majority of teams will not pass for 300 plus on this defense at their place. Consider it's a hated rival too

Again, he came through when he needed to, I won't take that away from him. But if you're going to admit that , then you have to admit Denver going prevent late in the 4th and in OT gave us the game. |
