Regular Season wins aren't going to do it for me.
I watched highlights of Pete Stoyanovich's 54 yard field goal against Denver over and over as a child.
The Chiefs beat the Super Bowl Champs that day. Unfortunately, they lost to Denver when it mattered. This has been the Chiefs way ever since 1970.
The Alex and Andy haven't proven that they can put together postseason performances when it matters. Yes, that means BIG throws when it matters.
You know what no one talks about in the Broncos-Ravens 2013 playoff matchup? The critical drops Jacoby Jones had in the game - the reason is that Joe kept throwing to him until it lead them to the biggest upset of the postseason.
Drops are going to happen. To Alex, they're devastating, because he rarely takes these kinds of risks throughout the game. For us to win, Alex has to be winning to take more chances throughout the next season and postseason. He had the chance to lead us to victory against the Steelers, and he simply didn't pull the trigger.
