GO AWAY YOU ****ING LOSER. LEAVE NOW AND NEVER COME BACK.

Alex Smith expresses his desire to return to Chiefs in 2018

Quote:

The Kansas City Chiefs' season ended earlier than they anticipated.

The No. 4 seed in the AFC coughed up an 18-point lead in a 22-21 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Saturday, setting up an offseason of uncertainty.

Chief among that will be quarterback Alex Smith.

Despite leading Kansas City to a 10-6 record and AFC West title, the Chiefs are said to be open to trading the veteran pivot. The team set up its future by trading up in April's draft to select quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Smith has just one year left on his four-year, $68-million contract, and intends to see it through.

"Yeah, I mean, you kidding me? I signed the contract," Smith said when asked after the game if he'd like to stay in Kansas City, according to Nick Shook of NFL.com.

"I'm under contract for another year, so like I said, I'm not thinking about anything else. Right now, obviously disappointed. Like I said, I felt like we had a good chance, and it's gone."

Under Smith's direction, the Chiefs raced out to a 5-0 start to the season, hit a lull in which they lost six of their next seven games, then won their final four contests.

On Saturday, Smith threw two first-half touchdowns to give Kansas City a 21-3 cushion, but went 5 of 10 for 33 yards in the second half.

The 13-year veteran wasn't prepared to dive further into his future so soon after the loss.

"The game just ended," Smith said. "We'll get into all of that in the next couple of weeks."

And Smith was dumb enough to fall for it.

Gigabytes everyone.

Sometimes you've gotta just give a guy a chance.

4 down situation and Smith averages 6 yards a carry. If he jukes a defender he likely gets the first down. It's just disappointing to see this team go into another battle without its best players due to injury. And for Reid to leave Kareem on the bench.

Man I agree with you but on two of those drives it wasn't on him that the drives ended. On one, we couldn't run for a single yard on the option - no push by the oline. Second one is Olson dropping the freaking ball that hit him in the torso. So there are a couple of 1st downs that never happened that should have but lets just pretend its all his fault?

I think Alex would be a good fit in Jacksonville. They have a great defense. Alex is a good game manager and that's all they need with such a good defense. Bortles is a terrible QB.

Unfortunately, Reid plays to lose.

We will see soon enough.

I think the play calling stays the same, execution lacks

Lack of aggression got us there

He gave Wilson a chance yesterday and Wilson chose not to drive for the ball. He just put up his alligator arms and then avoided the hit from the FS he knew was coming.

Bye the way, how many drops were there yesterday by Alex.

4 drives in the second have which 2 ended on plays that somebody else screwed up and its Alex cant make the big play theme. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

Alex won’t win even with that defense. Whatever the other team scores he will score just slightly less than them.

If Wilson dives for that pass, his neck is broke more than likely. And he's not catching it if he dives.

I was at the Denver game. Mahomes targeted Wilson 10 times... all completions. (Wilson's one incomplete play was thrown by Bray) In order for Mahomes/Wilson: 17,19,24,9,14,5,19,13,13, and 14 yards. Wilson wasn't always wide open. Mahomes was throwing him open on many of those passes.

Smith really doesn't throw receivers open that much.

BTW, that was a career day for Wilson.

Alex overthrew Wilson. Wilson had to leap in the high as high as he could go just to get his fingers on the ball.

And, if Alex did not completely **** up the 3rd down play, they would not have needed the desperation pass on 4th down.

It's football. An illegal hit wins you the game.

You trust that the right thing will happen and you go do your job. He definitely left his feet too early.

**New World Order** · 01-07-2018, 01:48 PM

Alex choked when we needed him the most...again

It was a bad pass dude. You have to throw that thing in there on more of a line. Wilson never had a chance to catch that pass realistically.
