Yep, if not for all of their drops and fumbles... Jax may well have walked out with a W

Let's try this again. . .
The difference being that the Foles circlejerk was predicated on Foles would be better.

He wasn't by any metric.

Held on to the ball too long and took the 13 yard sack. Stupid throw almost picked by the safety playing CF. Blind to the underneath. No ability to scramble. No increase in scoring. Terrible footwork. Lower completion percentage. 1, I repeat ONE 3rd down conversion.

But his 1st pass to Kelce was sweet.

The trade offs aren't even close to taking Foles over Smith

I think it actually is:

1. Brady
2. Wilson
3. Smith

:hmmm:

KC's run defense is an abortion. That shit needs fixed ASAP

Every week I like something more out of Kelce this week he made an ass out of a referee that was great. He is becoming an all time favorite of mine.

Gotta love the kid. I'll even let today slide as long as it doesn't end up getting him sitting for a game.

It's not like Foles had a plethora of playmakers at his beck and call. Losing Maclin early was huge. And then Kelce removed himself from the game later. Plus, Mssrs Ware and Charles were nowhere to be found. So, Foles was dealt a weak hand in that regard.

Not suggesting that Foles had a good game, because he didn't. Nonetheless, he was definitely limited by his offensive support.

Pretty clear too that this avoided the dreaded "QB Controversy" that was brewing. So, we got a win, avoided a controversy, added to Foles game day experience in this system. All in all, and ugly but somewhat productive day.

PS. This team is physically beat up. Let's hope Smith and Ware are back next week and that Maclin's injury isn't a multi-week affair.

With Foles, I'm going to echo what Virus said earlier... there needs to be a happy medium

He was going for broke the entire first half, and was lucky to have not been picked on at least one occasion... Reid settled him down in the second half and he started looking for the medium throws and checkdowns, but still... no QB can run an effective offense constantly going deep

Longest pass today: 24 yards. It was a screen pass.


DEEP BALLS!

When he only wants to throw to guys running a Go route, Hill was the only playmaker he needed.

Gosh that would suck I didn't think that much into it just an ejection in fourth quarter I can live with but not a suspension. These games are too critical to miss out on by contributing starters.

What today showed is that the Chiefs have a reliable back up. But Alex Smith is the best qb on the Chiefs.

By a inch

Game of inches...

I don't think to Andy Reid it's an inch. It's miles.
