"Smith deserves criticism...." for what, exactly? He played well against the 2nd toughest front he'll play this year. If Hill doesn't just loose track of where he is on the field, Smith goes for right at 300 again (that was a PERFECT ball). The OL looked good for the most part and the Eagles were being aggressive with their blitzes. DL and secondary held a damn good offense (good QB, improving Wr corps, very good TE and a guy like Sproles that can give anyone fits) to a single TD plus a garbage time score. what the hell did people expect this week? That's a quality football team that will challenge for a playoff spot. That was a good win.

agreed. Glad to see DJLN giving credit where it's due.. despite his Mahomoism.

1. Chiefs' offense look effective and aggressive first 1-2 drives (sometimes) 2. Chiefs' offense goes frustratingly conservative for the next 2-3 quarters 3. When Chiefs must score in the 4th, they look aggressive again People are just frustrated because we all know that Alex Smith can look like 1 and 3 all game long. But he consistently chooses not to. We've seen this formula too many times to be extremely concerned that this formula won't work consistently in the playoffs. |

Yep. Rarely been so happy to see halftime in a game. They really needed to regroup, formulate a decent plan B, and get their QB refocused.

Some people think anything other than a complete blowout win is a failure. They have unrealistic expectations. A win is a win.

I'm no expert, but it seems to me like the answer to beating the blitz is throwing screens and quick slants to punish them for being too aggressive. I don't remember seeing much of that.

I think it usually is, but I think Andy has a reason for the plays he calls, and we internet experts may not always understand why. He has been pretty successful for a long time though, so I think he knows what he is doing.

1. The first 15 scripted plays called and executed decently well. 2. Hit a lull as the coaches try to figure out what will work best for how the opposition has prepared for you. 3. Eventually make the right adjustments to start finding success again. 4. Hitting your stride and finishing the game. |
