The O-Line just exacerbated that problem. When you have to think 'who can catch' on every down, WHILE facing a jailbreak from all sides, it's a recipe for all out fail.
And how many times did we laugh and laugh and laugh when the end of game's numbers were something like 6 rushes for 40 yards and Fat Andy's presser reiterated the 'we probably should have used Jamaal more' line?

I disagree. Alex Smith's offensive line the second half of 2013 was actually very good. You know why? Smith was aggressive? You know why? He didn't trust his defense.
That's a really bad sign when your QB is only motivated to be aggressive when your defense sucks. I don't want to root for the Chiefs' defense to suck just for Smith to grow a pair.
