Alexsexuals are going to ruin this thread...

On another note, I predict the Bengals to at least cover the spread today, and possibly win. |

He has played admirable this season and plaussible we could win another playoff game but our hopes for going deep in the playoffs are tempered because of Alex Smith. That could be an episode of Myth Busters. We are excited to see our future and our future is bright with Patrick Mahomes II. |
I actually agree with tigger
Alex has been good for this franchise. Yeah, he hasn’t been a super star but he’s been a good qb and has played well this year. Plus he’s a good dude and has done all they’ve asked. He’s just tapped out |
It feels like way too much of my happiness for the entire offseason is resting on Mahomes doing well today.

The Chiefs deserve more credit because people thought it would be a better division? FFS, dude. The NFL's regular season is shit, has been for years. Of course, if there weren't Chiefs fans who were completely content with division titles and beating mediocre teams, Arrowhead would be mostly empty on game day. |
Quote:
I’m as ready for Mahomes as the next guy, but Alex hasn’t been near what some here out him at. He’s been good not great, great at times and bad at times. Basically what he was billed as. It sucks that it took this year for him to let loose but a lot of that is the players around him. |

I’ll appreciate Alex when he starts winning playoff games over credible QB’s. Otherwise he is no different than Bono, Grbac or Huard.
The goal has always been to win in January. |
Win and in today:
Baltimore Tennessee Atlanta |

Alex Smith has been more of the same mediocre QB the Chiefs have been trotting out there since Martyball became a thing, sand the Montana years. Which is what many of the early critics of considering him were afraid of. Some look at the past five years and see a needed stabilization of a franchise. I see five more lost years. Unless Alex Smith delivers on the promise of the first five games of 2017 and plays with some guts and wins a SB, that's all it will ever be to me. |
Quote:
Chiefs fans deserve better and quit accepting mediocrity. The Chiefs are the leagues most mediocrity team in NFL history. |
Totally sucks that we're three plays (or 7 plays if you count the ref redos in the @Raider game) in this entire season from playing today for the #1 seed.

Every fan has the right to bitch or back our starting QB. :rolleyes: |

I may not be an 'Alexsexual', but I never root for him to fail. Not as long as he is the Chiefs QB. |

Difference between 10-6/9-7 and the #4 seed and 13-3/12-4 and the #1 or #2 seed. |

I'm stoked, but realistic. |
Quote:
He’s been the same guy that he was going to be. He’s playing a tough position and isn’t a superstar. He’s reliant on the guys around him. It’s no surprise that when he has good ones around him, He’s had a career year. He won’t be here next year. That’s fine and it needed to be done. They’re probably maxed out with what he can do. I just don’t see the reason for the hate. He’s won a lot of games and put them in position in the post season. Criticism for not winning there is fine, it comes with the territory but again, being a guy that relies on what’s around him makes it tough for me to get too pissed at solely him for a lot of it. |
25 and sunny with 7 MPH winds at game time. Pretty decent weather for the kid to start.

Can't fault people for being excited about winning the division after the mid-season struggles then stringing off some important wins especially against the Raiders and Chargers. Both of which were must-win games. |

Goose and gander. That would be the right way to function, but we'll see how the mods do with it. I said a week ago, Mahomes should not be judged much at all.. good or bad.. on how he performs today. It's 1 piddly, meaningless game started by a rookie. Anyone making his performance a clear indication of anything is silly, trolling, +/or stirring up pure drama. With that being so obvious.. just let CP do what it does.. what it's been doing every week anyway. |
Quote:
I don't hate him individually. I hate watching him play most of the time, because he plays the position like a coward. I hate that the Chiefs wasted five more years on a retread QB who was never going to win in the playoffs. I hate that some of his mouthbreathing fan bois followed him here and foisted their cancer upon us. I hate that people defend this as something other than a waste of five years by pointing out all the regular season wins. Forget that. I honestly would have rather lost a lot more games, gotten higher picks, and had more young talent on the team around Mahomes for 2018 and beyond. |
Quote:
Prove it. Not one thing have I posted backs up your "assessment." |
Quote:
If Smith hadnt been available, they might've picked up a lesser vet who flamed out 2-3 years down the line, prompting them to draft a lesser QB than Mahomes whom we would now be stuck with... just as a for instance |

Well shouldn’t that be the goal? Winning championships? |
Quote:
But calling every year they don’t a failure seems pretty short sighted |
Quote:
Every year they don’t win it is a failure. Unless you’re happy with the end results of not winning. |
Quote:
Why would they be? |
Quote:
This idea that we were supposed magically soar to being the best and trump the Seahawks, Pats, Broncos, Steelers with a roster of broke dick offensive weapons for the first 3 years of the regime is insanely stupid. Dorsey screwed our chances with Maclin (overpaid and also tampered thus losing a 3rd rounder) and with the Bowe contract that put us in debt for many years. Y'all don't think things may have been different had Jamaal Charles stayed healthy for the playoffs? |
Quote:
Plenty are happy with every seasons end results. Winning the AFCW and One and done has been the pinnacle for decades. They are content with those results. |
Others not so much.
|
Quote:
Never having an actual chance to win it does make it a lost year. They have never had an actual chance to win with Alex Smith. |

That, and it could have been better, had certain players actually been healthy to play, as paid for. |

Sure, some guys were hurt. That’s the nfl. At some point, alex needed to carry them a little. I realize he’s not that guy and can’t, but that’s also why they’re moving on. Alex is dependent on the guys around him. It is what it is. I appreciate what he’s brought here, but I don’t think it’s wrong to be dissatisfied with the playoff result, which some put on the qb. Per usual, it’s not black and white |
Quote:
Good thing our coaching staff did, thus Patrick Mahomes. |
Quote:
Being thrilled about beating a 9 win team in the playoffs is kind of pathetic (for the franchise, not fans), or winning a home playoff game against anybody because there are players in the NFL who were born the year that last happened. There's obviously no shame in lower expectations and enjoying whatever you find entertaining.... personally, it would be pretty nice to see them in games that really matter more often than once every 25 years while not wondering how they're going to **** it up this time. |
Quote:

John Elway is prancing around in his stable that the Chiefs aren't starting half their starters.

Quote:
Different in the NFL and also different when it's just five more years of the same failed, bullshit approach the franchise has been trying for 40 years. |

Quote:
20 years ago the Patriots were just happy to "make noise" in the playoffs. Now a season without a a Superbowl win is a failure, and a season without an AFCCG appearance is a crushingly disastrous season Chief fans will change once their franchise changes. Steelers have numerous Home divisional playoff wins. Chiefs have 0 Can't blame the fans |
First start and we get a complete garbage announcer...great. Thanks Denver.

Quote:
This is year 5 and expectations are higher. We’ve won the division before, we’ve won a playoff game before, we’ve made the divisional round. This isn’t Andy's First year here. I mean he said it himself...”raise the bar as much as you want. We’re up for the challenge.” It’s time to go to the SB. |
Quote:
Again we’re back to the lense you view it thru I guess. |
Quote:
|
It's possible that without Alex Smith we never get Mahomes
We won a playoff game (finally!) We won back to back division titles (first) We have young stars like Hill, Hunt, Kelce We have the QBoTF They did a good job rebuilding this franchise, so far |

After so long, it became boring, predictable, and not good enough. The start to this season was amazing and we hoped Alex had changed his stripes.... and then the Steelers, Buffalo, Giants, Jets, etc games happened where Alex looked asshole. It's time for him to prove it in the Playoffs. |
The Steelers are resting basically their whole team. Browns have small hope of not going defeated
|
Pats start everyone in five degrees temps. That's the smart way to roll imo. Don't **** with momentum.
|
No such thing as momentum

Ho-lee sheet slow down Michael Irvin. Temper expectations just a bit.

I'm just personally not excited by beating mediocre teams in a very mediocre league. I might be more excited if I thought it would lead to something, I guess. :shrug: |

Chiefs have been a #1 seed & blown it...a #2 seed & blown it...a #3 seed & blown it...this year they are a #4 seed & history says they'll blow it. You need to be dynamic in the playoffs & they've never a QB to do that. Mahomes actually has the potential to do it. Will he? Who knows but at least there is hope. I have 0% faith in Alex Smith. |

If Pat does half of that I'll be thrilled. |
Too bad Irvin is more brain dead than black Bob

gonna watch a playoff game knowing it's a loss before the game starts?
might as well be cutting yourself, it would be more productive. Poor Chiefs martyrs. |
