Another line of punditry that's getting tiresome is this one that the rest of the team has to be epic all-world to overcome our singularly unskilled QB.
Teams seeking a championship can be like the three bears. Baby bear, Momma Bear and Papa bear.
Those who hate Alex fall into Momma and Papa bear camps simultaneously
Momma bear too cold. We need superstars up and down the roster to make up for lack of QB production.
Papa bear too hot. We need 'another' Brady/Rapist/Rodgers from somewhere, anywhere, so no team can play shitty enough they the QB can't bail them out.
Chiefs are baby bear, or as I outlined earlier, assembled like a watch with every component fulfilling a critical function.
Every time we lose, it's a multi-form failure. Last weekend was perhaps the most broad failure we've had, and even then it was a close game.
It was close because; 1) the secondary was a rare bright spot, outside an occasional DE in man coverage, 2) because Rapist was even more dogshit than Alex, and 3) because even though the Steelers run game was raping faces between the 20s, Tomlin/Haley called on Rapist to be dogshit in the red zone resulting in FGs when many many TDs were there for the taking.
We don't need 'all world' 85 Bears, Greatest Show on Turf, 2015 Broncos, weapons on O and D. We need to assembled team to play to their abilities on the day that counts.
Now I don't know if this playoff shrinking violet thing is an anomaly or a concrete and enduring character flaw. But it wasn't a simple one man, one problem fix, and it doesn't need something superhuman to overcome it.
If anything, the trainers and coaches have to put the parts of the 'watch' in position to take advantage of our assets, more than breaking everything up and building a new watch.
