Welp, back on the hate wagon

We have a better chance of drafting in the top half of the draft than we do of winning the SB. Go Chiefs.

[Hoover]

how do you open the offense up when its pouring?

How about we don't let Murray run for a 90 yard TD.

The Murray run, yeah, that hurt... overall our defense really didnt have a good night at all.

But one thing I was thinking earlier in the game was to get Thomas involved more (since they were keying JC HARD often with double spys), get him running starts downfield before getting him the ball instead of the screens to JC and him that were getting snuffed out over and over... after the half, they should've come out throwing it downfield.

The speed of Charles and Thomas was significantly diminished in the rain. It's harder to get your footing and accelerate once you stop your momentum. Those conditions were much more conducive for a downhill running attack and diminishes the abilities of a scat back.

Remember DAT's terrible punt return that got him benched? On a dry field, I guarantee you that he breaks that one. His acceleration wasn't quite there today due to the soaked field. It evens out the playing field in terms of speed and quickness. It was, quite literally, the perfect storm for the Raiders to beat the Chiefs.

Just finished watching and all I can do is laugh. I've never bought into this team as legit and I never will with Alex Smith. So many things have to go right to win a SB and with Alex you basically have to play 4 perfect games.

You mean like having WRs who can actually run decent routes and catch the ball? Or an OL that can block 50 year old Justin Tuck and a rookie OLB?

Or a run defense that doesn't give up a 90 yard TD run to the worst rushing offense in the NFL.

Or a defense that doesn't give up an 8+ minute 4th quarter TD drive to a rookie QB with almost no weapons around him?

Please tell me how the problem is Alex Smith.

I still can't believe Abdullah didn't pick that pass.

He wouldn't have been in bounds.

You truly are a ****ing idiot.

He made contact with the ball on his second to last step in bounds. Had he caught it with both hands and no. Movement it would have been on his last step in bounds. His next step half his foot was in the white.

So DB's can't drag their toes now? Only WR's can do that? It wasn't like he had no room to get both feet in, he just never secured the catch.

There were about 4 passes that the defense could have intercepted that just fell incomplete.

[BlackOp]

The defense lost this game...Smith gave them the lead. They let the Raiders drive down and win...

[OldSchool]

Yeah, **** Alex Smith for giving up a 17 play, 9 minute TD drive to the worst offense in the NFL.

That damn Alex Smith giving up 2 rushing TD's, one of them for 90 yards, to the worst rushing team in football.

If it weren't for Alex Smith today, this defense would have been great and we would have easily won! / CP

I know right? I mean **** the defense for starting 1 for 5 and completely looking like shit throwing the ball in the 1st half.
