Chiefs SI : Chiefs have a problem and his name is Dwayne Bowe - Page 13

**pr_capone** · 06:53 PM

His performance so far this season has been underwhelming. He is in a position to clock in his worst performance in the NFL so far and is projecting to have 54 receptions for 586 yards w/6TD.

Is his problem that defenses are keying in on him... or is it that, as suggested by Greg Bedard, that Bowe has lost a step and is no longer a top tier WR?

6. The Chiefs will win a lot of games with their current formula: good defense that takes the ball away (15 times so far) and an offense that doesn’t turn it over (just five) for an NFL-leading plus-10 in giveaways/takeaways. But to beat the good teams, they’re going to have to start stretching the field. Defenses know QB Alex Smith is overly conservative, so they’re dropping a safety down and playing a lot of man. The Chiefs have a big problem with receiver Dwayne Bowe. Not sure what has happened to him, but he lacks explosion and can’t beat man coverage anymore. Defenses don’t fear him at all.

4 years of Alex, no Super Bowl, Bowe retires....we'll move on and see if we finally ever ****ing get it.

You do realize theirs other ways of winning superbowls without elite level quarterbacks right? The quarterback we have damn near made it to a superbowl so he's not as bad as your making him out to be you ungrateful bastard lol.

He's not very good. Bowe is proof.

You're an idiot. Every post you make is proof.

Bowe would have more catches if Alex would stop throwing shitty passes.

Hammock Parties · 10-12-2013, 12:51 AM

Alex is 7 for 25 this year throwing outside the numbers in the 10-19 yard range. That is Bowe's bread and butter.

I'm sure that's all Bowe's fault, though.

NO WAY

Trent Dilfer doesn't have a superbowl.

Oh he does

Well surely Peyton has more then him

oh he doesn't

People look at the QB way to much. Qb is the most important spot on the field but there's more to football then QB folks.

I don't buy the idea that Reid is settling for Alex Smith's play. His attention for detail in watching the QB is stunning.

At 3:59 you can see why Andy Reid has always liked Smith. Telling Mcnabb you just take what they give you, take it as quick as you can get rid of the football. He tells Mcnabb don't worry about down and distance just get rid of it and let someone make a play.

I agree with you, this is all on Alex, you're telling me that Bowe has the shitty Matt Cassell throwing to him and his yards were fine and now all of a sudden he cant do anything

I could use or horrible season last year compared to or 5-0 start this year as proof the chiefs are better when Bowe isn't playing as well as he has in previous years lol. Mcgrath looks good,Avery has his moments,charles is effective as a reciever. Its no reason to expect well never win long term just because we aren't winning how you expected for us to win. More than one way to skin cat.

Alex was one play away from going to the superbowl man I think that's proof enough he can get back as the starting qb in the right system. If you have other qb's who have been to superbowls and won we could've had I'm all ears as that's just about the only thing that supercedes what Alex has done. You talk about proof but many of you sound like you want a young quarterback who has proven nothing that can give you highlights like the dick vermeil era lol.

I agree offense needs work but cmon. His overall win record and 5-0 win record this season are proof enough. I don't care if his lucky socks are the reason his win records so impressive lol

Hammock Parties · 10-12-2013, 01:14 AM

Maybe Bowe can get some tips from McGrath and Donnie Avery.

Bowe has Always had games where he didn't do much ALWAYS

2010 his best year in the 2 games combined against the Chargers he had 2 catches for 16 yards He also got shutout against Denver that year.

2011 he had 2 games with 2 catches for 17 yards

Last year he got shutout against the Bengals

But yes this is new with Smith

I care. Lucky socks are bound to get thrown in the laundry at some point.

I'm thrilled that the D is carrying the team and ST is doing more than their fair share. Eventually, though, its gonna come down to Alex Smith taking this team down the field whether they want to or not. I don't know he can do that.

I am really looking forward to finding out.
He seems to rise to the occasion more often than not, and win however is needed.
Cant wait to see what happens when some points are needed nearly every drive.
