We need to extend Alex Smith

[Alex Smith 4Ever]

Alex played the game of his life and he was BETRAYED by the defense

Alex Smith dropped 44 points on the Colts and somehow still lost. Alex is a hero. 44 points can win you a SUPERBOWL. What happened to the best defense in the league? They sure weren't out there tonight. You could cut all of them and it wouldn't matter. What matters is having Alex.

Anyone know how many first downs kc picked up in 2nd half?

After that first td of the second half everything sucked.

Sorry man, but I've been hearing about "Smith's" ceiling for years... first he was never going to be able to lead a team to the playoffs (2 in the last 3 years and would have been 3 for 3 without the concussion - not to mention the Chiefs going 2-14 just one year ago)

Then he was never going to be able to win a playoff game. Beat the Saints in tremendous fashion and lost the NFCC only because of 10 points literally gifted to the Giants by fumbled punt returns. Not to mention that he had done way more than enough to win this last game against the Colts. If you look at his playoff stats, Smith balls out in the playoffs.

Then after Harbaugh went with Kaep, his naysayers said that we'd never get anything of value for Smith. They were obviously proved wrong again.

Then his naysayers said that the 2-14 Chiefs from 2012 would never be able to win the necessary 8 games in 2013 to improve the conditional pick with Smith leading the team. 11-4.

All I heard all week leading up to the Colts/Chiefs Wild card game is that Charles is the entire offense for the Chiefs. They can't move the ball without him. Charles goes out on the 6th play of the game and Smith drives his team for 44pts.

This whole business of "Smith can't win the superbowl" is just the latest thing his naysayers have to say about him. They are running out of landmarks to measure him against. After he does win the superbowl, they'll say he'll never be able to cure cancer.

Bowe is also to blame, he should have been able to make the difficult catch and drag his foot being a #1 receiver.

Both the D and the O went to shit in the second half.

The DB played the boundary and used it as a 2nd defender. It wasn't Alex OR Bowe's fault.

Since when did Alex's mom start posting here?

Last I checked you can win 2 playoff games and make it to the SB. Hell of a ceiling.

You make a good point, the clutch play by the Colts is often overlooked in this thread for sure.

However, as Andy and many in this thread have said, Bowe ran the route to close the sideline.

If you look at the gif, about the only way I can see Bowe catching that ball in bounds, is for the pass to have been another foot or two in front of Bowe, and or Bowe going limp and dragging his foot.

Why do people keep saying the Chiefs were 11-4? It has been posted several times this week.
Math challenged? Discounting a loss or two? They were 11-5 in the regular season and ended up 11-6.

no... my math is fine. I was speaking of the regular season at that point. Naysayers said he'd never get to the necessary 8 wins in the regular season. Smith went 11-4. The 5 loss Smith never stepped on the field.

[Ragged Robin]

Smith seems like he plays to the level of his opponents. It looks like he has his best games against better opponents and when he lays stinkers it's usually against bad teams. I hope after that game the whole game manager thing dies down because he proved that even without our MVP he can ball the **** out and make things happen. No way in hell that Brad Johnson or Trent Dilfer would've made those plays (Dilfer's superbowl year he had 12TD-11INT anyway.. don't see how that's comparable). Alex's footwork fundamentals were as close to perfect as it gets and he was really feeling the pressure well. Most of the big plays and TDs were after him escaping at least one defender.. Cassel in the same situation is sacked every time.

Oh, ok thanks, my bad you are correct.

I keep forgetting the he gets credit for all of the positives (like the first several games when the D totally carried the O) but none of the negatives, I forgot.

Just like the playoff game, he had 4 tds, 370+ yards, and no interceptions! Of course we don't mention that he was the recipient of the 4 turnovers the D created, and Smith had a fumble that was a killer.

Got it.

Also, the inability to sustain a drive without a TD after the fumble in the second half while the Colts secondary was shitting the bed as bad as KC's.
