Alex Smith holds key to Chiefs’ contention, but will he come through?
Decent article.

The whole problem with Smith comes down to protection. The Buffalo game was a perfect example. Smith doesn't go thru progressions when he's scared and he's scared a LOT.

Wasn't there a play this weekend where Maclin was completely uncovered and Smith went ahead with the playcall of a run to the right side?

I like a turnover-free Alex Smith and this defense playing to this potential 10 times out of 10 against the AFC South winner.
I like it about 9/10 against the Jets, should we somehow meet. Against the Pats, the way they're playing now? I like our chances at least 5/10 in New England. I like us about 6/10 against the Bengals in Cincy -- Alex simply plays better in the postseason and Dalton plays worse. The team I really think will give us fits is Denver, assuming Ware is back. Ware and Miller is a tandem I'm not sure we can solve, with Talib shutting down Maclin. I give us about 2/10 against them, unless Manning is starting, then 4/10. |

Not buying that....the d was all over him and harassed him and made him nervous. He was bad o.k.....thanks to the Chiefs D. That is my story and I am sticking to it

How can you write an article about a player's ability to lead a team in the playoffs and then proceed to ignore all of their post season stats?

Too few games for us to know. But I agree it's at least worth pointing out that the alex Smith against new Orleans and indy was very different from the alex Smith they're trying to portray in this piece.

I think our success hinges more on our pass rush and the o line. This offense is pretty damn good when the o line is opening up holes in the run game and giving Alex plenty of time. This defense goes from good to elite when the pass rush is at full strength. If we have morse, Allen, Bailey and Houston all good, I'd favor us against any afc team in the playoffs with the exception of the bengals. And even then Andy dalton can still Andy dalton.

Now if the injured guys come back and are close to 100%, then the line is league average, and Smith's play and Reid's play-calling will determine the offensive output. |

Some games the ol is so bad that it doesn't give any QB a shot. Sure. But he is capable of also improving the ol. |

If ASS11 holds the key the defense better be ready to kick open the ****ing door.
