I try not to think about that.

The next season they had the third-fewest dropped passes in football and it resulted in the 30th ranked pass attack and a 30-7 playoff loss.

Drops certainly play into it. They don't give Smith a pass but Kelce and Wilson played a major part in that loss with their drops. When you have a QB like Smith, you are playing with a small margin of error.
