According to Andy Reid's press conference, still ongoing:

The issue with Smith is that he's gonna have to tow the aggressive line more in the playoffs and against the elites. Or that's what's thought here.

I don't necessarily know either way there

Something to note and take from it what you will, but....our starting QB is out for the week and no one is panicking.

DJ not only with the Left Nut, he's giving them the Right Nut too.

When you haven't had your starting RB or LB all year, you probably get used to it

Team has alot of big injuries over this nice run of 15-2..they still keep trucking. Reid has warts, but it speaks to how good of a coach he is.

Given what we've seen in recent years, I don't know if it's being aggressive as much as just making the big key plays and not turning the ball over. Russell Wilson won a Super Bowl throwing for about 200 a game, and Peyton Manning has zero left in the tank at the end of last year. Defense can still win, and really great defenses usually do.

Then again, Flacco won a Super Bowl trying to chuck it down the field as many times as possible. He was in an unbelievable zone though, and didn't throw an INT that year... he's never captured that again.

Conservative ass Schottenheimer had a great REGULAR season record too. Is that really considered the "good ole days" around here? I am thinking what gives us the best chance to win in the ****ING PLAYOFFS against the likes of Brady and Big Ben.

I agree. I think it's a huge compliment to the coaching staff and Dorsey's scouting team.

Mostly, i simply have faith in Reid.

Wilson made BIG plays and the THREAT of Peyton going long was still there. Even though he had a noodle arm, you had to respect his RECOGNITION of someone popping open and him wobbling one towards the receiver. With Smiff, you can cheat up and he will MISS those open guys all day long.

Literally no one was afraid of Manning going deep last year, at all.

In fact I think that's what teams wanted him to do, so they could intercept that shit.

Whatever you say. They still had more respect in broken down manning's ability to hurt them then they EVER will for Smiff hurting them. FACT! And I am not a Peyton apologist.

Manning would at least TRY to get the ball where it is supposed to be, even in a weakened state.

2) Nick Foles is going to throw for 300+ yards Sunday. Get ready for an exciting showing from the guy. We're about to see what this offense can do when it's able to utilize its speed at WR to force the safeties to protect the deep zones instead of playing up all day. Should be fun.

I won't be shocked if he has 300+ yards and 3-4tds against a strong Jags defense.

I really think these WRs are extremely underrated and are going to thrive with a guy like Foles that will give them a chance to go make plays.

3) http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showp...&postcount=837 if anybody ever bought the bs excuse that tigeruncle****er wasn't blackbob, here's the accidental admission.

4) banning clay for that stuff is orangemane level shit

5) nice post, DCS

Not that I don't believe you but where is the admission in that post? I'm confused.

And I hope you're right about Foles.

Has Alex not made defenses defend deep in the past few weeks?

He hasn't completed most of them, no one does, but he has certainly taken plenty of 'shots' in the past couple games.

That team won so he could react w no emotion, mumble about Budweiser, hug Papa John, and ignore his teammates. Joke of a marketing ploy. Nothing to do with his deep ball (lulz) or team.
