1. Smith was spotted 28 points in the second half.

2. Smith couldn't answer Luck's rally.

We lost 3 out of our top 5 offensive weapons by that point and Indys defense is the same unit that shut down some ELITE NFL offenses this year. They aren't a shitty unit.

Alex had a great game.

Hard to do that when you lost practically half of your starters, and a back-up RB.

Not to mention that Reid went full-reerun on the playcalling on the swings/screens.

Smith was SPOTTED?

FFS.

Alex SMITH CREATED THAT SPOT.

HAHAHA.

Try again.

Alex Smith is not a defensive coordinator.

Alex Smith is not a Free Safety. Kendrick Lewis is a free safety.

And spotted? That's absurd.

The Chiefs are 6th in the league in scoring. I don't see why that point total is blowing peoples minds.

That was the problem. Berry had a awful awful day. His tackling was dog shit.

I wish he was a FREE AGENT

6th in the league in scoring.

With Jamal Charles for 6 plays????

Yes. Smith created that 28 point lead all by himself. Especially the last 7 points which were gifted to him by Trent Richardson.

That isn't blowing peoples minds, your mind numbing rejection of reality is blowing peoples minds.

Oh cool. So we scored defensively?

I missed it.

AWESOME FOR THE DEFENSE that other than that first possession in the second half didn't stop the colts ONE TIME.

The reality is this...

The Chiefs scored 44 points and lost.

That means both teams defenses ****ing sucked and the other teams offense was BETTER.

Sure it's hard to do, that's why you need an elite QB. Just like its hard to lead your team to a victory from a 4 score deficit. Some guys can do it, others get traded to the Chiefs.

^ This. He is so desperate to pin this loss on Smith that he can't grasp the fact that it was a Smith led offense that spotted the defense a 28 point lead.

Isn't that what QB's are supposed to do, these days? To create points for their team?

QB's can't "prevent" points. That's on the defense.

It's ironic how you Smith fans keep pointing to Charles' injury as a death blow to the team. He's a RB. Surely a QB of AS' caliber could overcome losing a RB? Andrew Luck has been playing with his third string RB all season.

This is a sad, yet needed day. Many super posters are outing themselves as morons. This is a good thing.

Well, that is the first truthful thing you have said tonight.

Yes, the team that doesn't lose its best play maker, has the better qb, and doesn't lose 3 of its top weapons on offense, and two of its top defenders, won.

You are correct.

Because they did that with Charles. Today they did it without him. Big difference.

Unfortunately, Alex Smith didn't create many points in the second half.

He is when this season is officially over. ;)

This person has eyeballs and a strong mind.

Smith fans? Im a CHIEFS FAN.

And so NOW Jamal Charles who was just 37 percent of the Chiefs offense was just another guy, and ahmad Bradshaw, and Vick Ballard are in the league of CHARLES?

If you troll any harder, your head is going to explode.

Charles was in the running for league MVP. You are a moron to think that loss did not matter. And FWIW he did overcome the loss of Charles. The 44 points we scored attest to that.

Nothing I've said has been untruthful.

People simply don't want to hear it.

Let's put it in this way.

We all can agree that Charles is the best player on this team. Since Charles was only available for six plays, and was done for the day.

Alex Smith rose to the occasion. He played like a ****ing Franchise QB should play. This loss is not pinned on Alex.

I'm done arguing this stuff. It's sad, that people wants to blame this on Alex, whereas, he was nowhere responsible (other than the fumble, which I concede to) giving up all those points on the defensive side, other than 7, due to his fumble.

From the way things are going here, it just sounds like to me that everyone want Matt Cassel back. Not me. I'll take Alex Smith over Matt Cassel any day, any time, any place.

I'm out with this irrational logic being placed here.

If we are able to add a Jace Amaro or Eric Ebron to this offense, it's gonna be REALLY hard to stop.

The only thing that would keep me from going up and getting one of those guys is if both are still on the board in the mid teens along with a really good coverage safety like Haha Dix.

Dix
Amaro
Ebron
Lee

I would be thrilled if one of those guys s our pick. Any of them would be a game changer.

44 points and we lost. This while losing three of our top offensive players. Only morons like you put this on the QB.

Which really was more impressive, the shovel pass to Sherman, or the deek and beauty to Knile?

That means that one defense tightened up while the other played soft like they have done the entire season when they get a huge 1st half lead. Before the Houston-Hali injury it was the opposite. We ran clock and wore down the opposing defense.

ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz

Keep trying to put it on one side of the ball.

Lose a 28 point lead...

Thats a team failure.

Lets just leave it as it is. Your opinion is biased because you have and always have had, and will always have an extreme dislike of Alex Smith.

So, I take your takes with a grain of salt. I respect you not for your takes, but because you chose a side, and you stuck with it.

It does not mean you aren't delusional, or wrong. Its just your opinion. And im fine with that.

I used to get destroyed for mine, back when I first got here, and I tried explaining to people why I liked Alex Smith.

I get it.

Any one of those would be outstanding.

Im partial to Ebron. His athleticism is ridiculous.

Nothing biased about my opinion.

I have yet to single out Alex for this loss.

You lose a 28 point lead in the 2nd half...

2 reasons for that.

1) The offense failed to keep scoring
2) The defense couldn't stop the other teams offense

Team choke job.

He played like a franchise qb the first 34 minutes. The last 26 weren't anything special.

Thanks Reid

No, no. This was a team loss. There was bad play all around. My point is, that in the clutch, AS failed hard. In today's NFL, the QB is expected to pull out wins, regardless of how many bad bounces he gets. AS was in position to win this game in the second half, and he pissed it away.

There's some serious trolling going on in here. Some of you are truly miserable people.

Irrational logic? You're the one bringing up Matt Cassel.

Yep. My entire dislike of Alex D. Smith was based around the fact I thought he would be useless in the postseason.

Shit, he was the only reason we had a chance today.

Yeah, I've come to realize that Reid's play-calling and time management will always be an obstacle to overcome.

Here is the post that should end this stupid debate.

Raise your hand if when Jamal Charles laid on that turf, and Andy Reid walked out, if you said, pfff, no big deal. We got this.


There are no hands raised, and if it is, you are full of shit. I am the biggest PRO ALEX SMITH GUY on the planet. For those who don't know, when I started here, my user name was ALEX SMITH FAN. And im NOT a troll account.

I said, the Chiefs are ****ed.

They scored 44 points without Jamal Charles.

The qb threw 4 tds, no picks, and 380 yards and accounted for about 440 yards of offense.

That's FRANCHISE qb numbers.

I defended you on that point earlier.

bingo, pretty much sums it up.

Alex Smith

Embrace me as a brother.

Bingo...that is why Smith isn't starting in San Francisco

If we get Kelce back healthy and add a tight end like Amaro or Ebron or a receiver like Lee, this offense is gonna explode next year.

Alex will have 4000+ yards and 30+ touchdowns.

Not saving a good tight end held us back most of the year.

Honestly, no bullshit here, I thought the Chiefs still weren't out of it. I think Davis is quite talented and I didn't (still don't) think the Colts' defense is very good.

Did I think it would limit the playbook? Yes. Did I think it would kill any dynamism the Chiefs' offense had? Yes. I still thought they could win though.

Now, you answer me this: with a 28 point lead and basically the entire second half yet to play; isn't it still the offenses responsibility to be efficient and put points on the board? (The Chiefs scored a total of 6 points after the Davis TD reception BTW)

I think people underestimate that point. Fasano, and McGrath are okay. But they offer almost no game changing ability.

Remember that 3rd and Short where they ran that middle screen to Fasano? That was the slowest four yards in the history of football. It was timed with a sun dial.

When did we lose Davis?

Do you even read what you say?

I agree ceebz. ...it is the o's responsibility to at least milk the clock and put a few points on the board.

Sometime late in the 4th quarter. Happened on the Chiefs' 2nd to last drive.

I am not arguing that the offense underperformed in the second half.

There were several factors, some that INCLUDE Alex Smith, but to single any one out, is not fair.

Not having Charles to run the clock, hurt. Bowes drop on 3rd and medium where Alex threw a really good pass.

Alexs miss to Cyrus Gray, Alexs IG, Alexs fumble, the energy with which the Colts played defense, and offense, and the fact that after that early int in the second half, the Chiefs defense didn't stop the colts once.

Not only that, but the Chiefs losing Flowers, and Houston, didn't help at all.

ROFL Milk the clock with who running the ball? McMidget? Grey?

I am sick. Sutton = Tits on a boar hog.

Alex Smith is a good quarterback.

Key word is GOOD.

He is not an elite player which is what you need in these days.

The future looks good for you guys but in the AFC you still have to overcome the likes of Brady, Manning, Luck.

Winning ain't easy.

Um, early 4th. Went down with a knee.

Give Alex Smith multiple weapons like Colston, Jimmy Graham, Kenny Stills, Lance Moore, Darren Sproles, Pierre Thomas then ****ing talk to me.

he has NEVER HAD A CAST LIKE THAT. NEVER.

I thought it was early in the 4th. I think the beginning of the 4th quarter. I could be wrong though.

Not getting a touchdown on two series, the big one being in the 3rd after Luck's 3rd pick. That should have been the dagger in the Colts, holding the Chiefs to a field goal was a victory and changed the game around.

jd goes full reerun once again

That was a beautiful pass that grey turned fully around on 15 yards too early and back peddled, but you can't really fault the QB or the scrubs on that one, chalk that up to inexperience.

At the very least, extend some drives and continually put the Colts in poor field position. But what happens? The Colts answer with a TD, and then AS makes a terrible play which ends up in a sack/strip which leads to anothe Indy TD, cutting the lead to 14. The game was over after that, IMHO. For all of their talk about toughness and family, I honestly think this Chiefs team is quite weak, mentally.

Allowing TDS on FIVE consecutive drives changed the game
..absolutely pathetic

Literally, Luck, as in the luck of causing a fumble, having it bounce off a clueless lineman's head, and right into the hands of an offensive playmaker who can dive over the pile to score a TD. And to say Alex Smith is not elite is kind of a biased statement. Stats aren't really key in his "eliteness". It is more of his accuracy and care of the football and handling situations. I wouldnt say he is top 5 right now, but I would definitely say top 10

Pretty sure the Chiefs only had one drive, (the last one) without Davis.

Top 10...you may be the ONLY fan in America to believe that.

That actually didn't happen.

How many games this season did an offense score 44 pts? Now subtract the scrub teams being blown out by playoff teams. Yes, many of the debbie downers here contribute nothing but negativity.

He definitely elevated himself above "middle of the pack"

Oh I hear ya.

The Saints pulled this one out but I wasn't so sure after the first half.

Brees was playing like dog shit and he knew it.

Next week is Seattle and it will not be easy.

But if we pull if off next week then I think we go home for the NFCCG.

If that happens we are going all the way.

Middle of the pack..yes. ..elite...no

Why, because of stats? He is playing on a team with a brand new head coach and staff. Look at his W/L record in the past couple seasons. There is a lot to consider. It is not what have you done for me now, but what have you done over the course. A. Smith is severely underrated and I am not the ONLY person to think that. A huge base of people in this country were jealous that we picked him up.

LOL, now Gray "back-pedaled" on that play? You guys are ****ing ridiculous.

Congrats by the way.

All I am saying is, in all honesty, take my homerism with a grain of salt, but Alex Smith really has never been surrounded by a complete cast like Peyton, Brees, Rodgers.

Not that I think he is elite, but damn, how good could he be with a complete cast around him?

Ya know?

That was elite QB play today. In a very tough situation.

Moar.

It's disgusting how easily minds are controlled by simple media, these dorks are incapable of formulating their own opinions and just regurgitate the most 'gangsta' reerun opinions no matter how baseless they are.
