Possibly the worst throw of Alex Smith's career, however. Holy shit. A 30-yard throw that lands so far away from whereever Avery is that there's no chance to make a play.

Crazy thing is, Avery was in single coverage and was running on the numbers. He had a sideline he could work with. But Smith elects to go inside with the pass, and it's dramatically out of Avery's reach.

still makes me laugh till i cry that we thought leaning on Smith's (non-)ability to go deep was the smart play...yeah, let's lead the thing we're worst at...that'll fool 'em

Reid: "So, what's Smith's worst skill?"

Room full of coaches (in unison): "Throwing past 10 yards"

Reid: "Perfect...they'll never see it coming"

2nd play out of the gate:

Smith in shotgun, Charles staggered off behind. Bowe, Thomas, and Kelce in a bunch formation on the far side. Fasano standing up off the RT.

Quick fake to Charles, then a bubble screen to Thomas behind Kelce and Bowe -- Von Miller read it brilliantly, but just couldn't get his hand on the ball as Alex zipped it by him.

Bowe and Kelce are ideal for blocking, but T.J. Ward blows them both up. Thomas is still too brilliant on these things, and wriggles six yards out of the play.

You forgot to mention the horrendous attempt at a cut block.

You're not wrong.

Thomas needs to be taken off of punt returns. Give that job to Wilson.

3rd play out of the gate:

Smith in shotgun, Charles off to his right. Bowe, Avery, and Kelce out on the RT side, and Fasano in-line next to Fisher.

Fasano takes off down the field, leaving Fisher mano vs. mano against Ware, who torches Fisher with a devastating spin move to the inside.

Smith is too quick with the ball, and has his choice of three slants: a quick slant to Avery, an intermediate slant to Bowe, or a sideline-slant to Kelce.

Broncos play it fairly well, doubling Avery's route. Chris Harris expects the slant all the way (it's the only real play Alex and Dwayne have), and jacks up the pass. Time to punt.

Kelce has a CB all to himself cutting in from the sideline, however. At a certain point you'd think Smith could capitalize on that.

Whatever.

Never. Going. To. Happen.

On the Broncos' first play, they hand it off to CJ Anderson.

Chiefs have Bailey, Poe, and Howard as downlineman, with Hali and Houston in their usual spots. Mauga and JMJ at ILB.

CJ gets stuck trying to run up the gut on Poe, but Poe shoves a lineman back into his lap, but nobody wraps up and he wiggles forward for a 6 yard gain.

Mauga and JMJ have HORRENDOUS gap integrity on the play. They both step up behind the DEs, and get isolated from the play, getting washed out with the trash. Poe makes the play single-handedly as Gaines steps in to finish him off.

Direckshun · 12-03-2014, 10:41 AM

2nd and four, same down linemen for the Chiefs. Same personnel everywhere, except now Mauga and JMJ have switched sides.

CJ Anderson with a huge run off the LT right through where Allen Bailey is supposed to be.

Orlando Franklin at RG erases Bailey from the play, totally isolating him inside. Hali and JMJ -- who are both playing that side -- are erased. Hali gets pushed way outside by Clady. JMJ actually starts the play standing at the LOS, but can't shed an OL to save his life. Abdullah is actually in the box on the play, and steps out wide, but CJ one-cuts it inside for a huge gain and a first down.

Like I said, you can put the thread on ignore if that's too much.

New 1st and ten, same personnel for the Chiefs everywhere.

Broncos attempt running Anderson again off tackle, but perfect gap integrity foils them.

Most importantly, Hali stays on the outside, never letting Clady get outside of him and allowing Anderson to turn the corner. This stalls Anderson.

Trying to get to the outside of Bailey actually plays into his strengths. Bailey sheds one OL and blows up another trying to get to Anderson, who is turning in thanks to Hali's work on the edge.

Mauga swoops in and bats clean-up. Maybe a 2 yard gain.

Edit: Actually Mauga swoops in and absorbs another blocker. It's actually 330-lb Dontari Poe who gets all the way out to the numbers and shuts Anderson down.

Direckshun · 12-03-2014, 10:49 AM

Chiefs staying with the same personnel, and shut down Anderson again.

This time the Broncos try to run behind their RG, right at Jaye Howard.

Howard beasts. He's doubled at the point of attack, stacks up both blockers and secures the tackle.

He's flanked by good plays, too. Houston contains on the outside, and Poe blasts through the OL.
