Hey, first post. Really don't understand the hate against Smith. What have the 49ers done since they traded Smith? Did they win the SB? I don't think so. Smith has been to the playoffs twice since he started playing well. He outplayed Drew Brees with one capable receiver (Davis), then he was close to going to the SB, if not for two costly fumbles by his kick returner.
Now against Colts he was pulling rabbits out of his hat when players kept going down and he kept making plays. I don't know how much more you can ask from a QB. Now if he had a terrible game and the Colts came back, then it would've been on Smith. But Hilton was wide open on every single pass play during the second half and unfortunately Smith can't go out there and cover guys.
And anyone who says these words: "well a great QB like Manning would never lose with a lead like that." He just did, in New England. And he didn't have 4 TD's in that game and he didn't play well.
All KC needs is to get healthy. They played good D early in the season and their offense is clearly good enough. Not much you can do when you lose half the lineup during the game and put up 44 on the road and still lose.
