This team is going to need a top notch run game to make an AFC Championship under Alex Smith in 2017, along with a top notch defense. Now, if Mahomes becomes as good as many including myself think he could be, it's a whole new level for the Chiefs. The offense could become something it hasn't been in nearly 15 years.
I honestly dont see our guys being quite as dynamic as Atlantas duo
But what our guys lack in explosiveness, they should be be able to make up for with with a grinding, wear you down, kill the clock style... provided Ehingers return is the cure for what ailed us last year
What Alex Smith brings this year, I have no clue... tempted to expect the same old shit because thats how he has mostly played for his entire career
But maybe, just maybe, the writing on the wall spurs him to reach outside of himself and he tries to MAKE plays for once... 'good' Smiff can approach dynamic, we'll see
The pressure will either make him wilt, or make him show off
If he decides to grab his balls, we could have a great year [Reply]

Damn that West. If only he didnt fumble, maybe Alex would have scored 2 or 3 touchdowns before the half.
So you are saying that essentially, the KC offense only had 8 reasonable opportunities to score, then.
So tell us... which drives of those drives..
.. other than the TD drive early
.. and the final drive that Fisher hold screws us on
.. and the INT caused by quick pressure drilling the QB so the ball could hang up in the air
.. or the Kelce drop over the middle..
.. or the Ware drop?...
.. or the multiple OL penalties that sank them to 3rd and forever on the 2nd/3rd drive...
I count two left.. and can remember off the top of my head that one of the remaining two was in fact on Smith (the 3rd and 7 sack, where you just have to let it go)
anyone quick remember the last drive in question? oh yes.. the FG drive to get KC within 5.
So the QB.. was responsible for one drive failing due to taking that sack.
thoughts? any vague and witty response to avoid discussing these?

which of the remaining
The one where he missed a wide open Tyreek hill? That was a walk in td. Where do you mention that?
It's easy to look at the play list after the fact and make excuses, some of us actually watch the games. [Reply]

Honestly Clay asked for an example and I gave it to him. I understand the hate for Alex. I also understand Alex couldn't touch Brees or Favre in terms of QB play. The best case scenario for the team is if Alex goes out and has a career season and we get to go deep in the playoffs. If he can do that (and we all know he can't) he'll add value to the team by winning meaningful games and creating the perfect scenario for Mahomes development.
No best case scenario Alex gets concussed in preseason retires and Mahomes comes in immediately and leads us to 7 SBs over 18 years. THAT is the best case scenario. [Reply]
