***Alex Smith Appreciation Thread***

[RunKC]

His best game as a pro. I've been anti-Alex all offseason but Christ was he impressive tonight.

Major props for the game tonight. I hope he keeps it up

[Nickhead]

fucker, you beat me to it... only i was going to title it :

the NEW AND IMPROVED Alex Smith Appreciation thread :D

[Easy 6]

No one can tell me Mahomes hasnt lit a serious fire under his ass

Thats finally the QB we've all been waiting for

[Trivers]

Its going to be a nice and quiet week from the anti-smith swarm.

[mcaj22]

he's going to look great as a Jet, Jaguar or Redskin next season. Maybe even a Buffalo Bill

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

he's going to look great as a Jet, Jaguar or Redskin next season. Maybe even a Buffalo Bill

Because the Chiefs want the reputation of treating their most valued veterans like dog shit.


**** off troll.

Agree.
Prom Night for Alex

[Bwana]

Best game I have seen him play as a Chief. What was his QB rating?

[RunKC]

He's the top trend on twitter right now lol

[saphojunkie]

Fucking amazing game for Smith. He did his best Mahomes impression and gonfamn it was sexy as fuck.

[l4z4rd]

Players with 300+ pass yards, 4+ passing TD and 0 INT against a Bill Belichick defense:

Drew Brees (2009)
Alex Smith

[Chiefs4TheWin]

Ummm yeah! I'll take it!

[kysirsoze]

Because the Chiefs want the reputation of treating their most valued veterans like dog shit.


**** off troll.

Yeah, moving and dropping aging players definitely bit the Patriots in the ass.

[Red Dawg]

I slam Smith but he balled out tonight and went for the kill. We need that this year from him. He played will a big bag of knuckles and got it done.

[eDave]

He blew his wad.

[ChiefGator]

Absolutely amazing.. well played.

[noa]

Dude was awesome tonight -- I thought it was going to be downhill after he tripped himself on that stupid sack, but the Patriots gave him all day to throw and he made them pay. The pass to Hunt was beautiful. The future doesn't matter, qb battles down the road don't matter, he played great today and we won a huge game. Only thing to do is celebrate.

[FlintHillsChiefs]

Best game I have seen him play as a Chief. What was his QB rating?

148.6

[beach tribe]

Credit where credit is due:

I hope he shoves it in our faces next week and the week after that.

[beach tribe]

He blew his wad.

eDave gonna eDave.

Part time troll part time victim of micro aggressions

[Ming the Merciless]

Been watching him play for over a decade..

Best game I've seen him play ...

Maybe he hasn't hit his ceiling yet lol

[Pointer19]

The competition and pressure are doing great things for him!

[stumppy]

Gotta be his best game ever. Played great

[dirk digler]

Said in the game thread, major major props to Alex tonight.

[l4z4rd]

Alex Smith last 2 games vs. NE

48 of 61 for 616 YDS 7TD 0 INT

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

Yeah, moving and dropping aging players definitely bit the Patriots in the ass.

Because the Chiefs organization have the luxury of relying on their name to recruit players. Great observation.

[carcosa]

he was good

No one can tell me Mahomes hasnt lit a serious fire under his ass

Thats finally the QB we've all been waiting for

yep. he looked like same old scared alex at first, but after taking that shot on the tyreek TD, he was like a new man. pretty impressive.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

148.6

My God that's greater than the 142 dB rating set by Arrowhead.

He's the chosen one.

[Hammock Parties]

He's got a knack for balling out in Week 1.

[OldSchool]

Hell yes! But he's going to have to keep this up if we're going to win the division without Berry on D.

[notorious]

If he can sustain a higher level of play with some of these games mixed in he is more than welcome to stay another year.

[Kman34]

Pat has scared game right into Alex

[Mahomer]

Such an easy bet at Chiefs +10. Total trap game for NE. Props to Smitty. Best game of his career. Needs to keep this up.

[Bugeater]

It was a nice win. He seems nice.

[RealSNR]

Do it again, Alex. You've always been able to do this. You're this good. Just make it happen.

[Bwana]

148.6

Wow

[Mahomer]

It was a nice win. He seems nice.

Y the neg? Y u make me cry? :(

[Nickhead]

how much would a hundred bucks on the chiefs have made? :D

[penbrook]

Wow

Was that Smiths QBR?

[penbrook]

how much would a hundred bucks on the chiefs have made? :D

[Sorter]

Alex was impressive.

[RunKC]

Alex and Hunt rammed their dicks down Clay's throat and didn't let up.

Clay gets embarrassed yet again

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

This is exactly what the Chiefs need. Alex balling out and Mahomes learning every detail along the way.

The future is bright.

[MeatRock]

Smith had some boneheaded plays, but he played a great game overall!

[Nickhead]

just my fucking luck! i didn't place the bet. :D

[Sandy Vagina]

[threebag]

You know I better get in on this thread. Go Alex what a game.

[stevieray]

Thank God for Matt Nagy.

3 90 yard drives?

When Is thee last time you've ssen this?

Conley steps up we are deadly.

[Hammock Parties]

Alex and Hunt rammed their dicks down Clay's throat and didn't let up.

Literally NO ONE on this board thought anything close to this was happening tonight and MOST had the Pats beating us, so you can go fuck yourself.

[mschiefs1984]

Tip of the cap to him

hope to see that all year. But I don't expect to

[stevieray]

Literally NO ONE on this board thought anything close to this was happening tonight and MOST had the Pats beating us, so you can go **** yourself.

Push away those bitter tears

[Hammock Parties]

Push away those bitter tears

Just remember Week 1 last year and how it ended up.

[mcaj22]

That future is next year. Alex always looks great on pretty much a 1 year deal/what is basically a contract year. Did it on the 49ers too.

You know it's true.

It's a marathon, not a sprint.

[Fairplay]

148.6

Woah...:eek:

[pugsnotdrugs19]

I'm here to eat my crow for the first time this year. I hope Alex continues to serve up more and more each week for me.

Our offense appears to have 3 stud playmakers and a good offensive line. What a time.

[stevieray]

You know it's true.

It's a marathon, not a sprint.
Ya we won the division.


I find humor and a little pleasure knowing you ate shit during this game.


you do you.

[rico]

I hope he continues to have games like this so we can swing him for the 1st rounder we lost in the Mahomes trade.

Probably the best game he's ever had. Let's rack those up and get something out of it!!!

[Hammock Parties]

Ya we won the division.


So did Bono.

The goalposts are not regular season victories.

I was surprised by the o line. Smitty had all day to throw. Kareem Hunt ROY

[MMXcalibur]

He deserves a lot of the shit he gets, but goddamn was he fucking awesome tonight.
Well done, Alex.

[GloryDayz]

Fuck Alex. We won despite him.

Tonight, he has a beautiful soul.

[Hammock Parties]

Fuck Alex. We won despite him.


Dude. The throws to Reek and Hunt were on point.

I know he kinda sucked and got lucky a bunch in the first half but it is what it is.

If Smith plays like that every week we are legitimately in the running for a Super Bowl.

Granted he has one or two of these games a year and then reverts to cuck form but eat a little crow. It tastes OK a couple times a year, I promise.

[stevieray]

Enjoy the win, bud. But you've been around. Remember the last time we did this to the Pats? How'd that season end up?

Can't get too low or too high. Not with this franchise's history.

[BigRedChief]

Mahomes can wait until next year. Alex plays like this all year. We could play in the Super Bowl.

[wasi]

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000840750/article/takeaways-alex-smith-kareem-hunt-pace-chiefs-win

1. Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith knows the rap on him. He can't throw deep. He pilots a station-to-station offense that is more efficient than exciting. One game doesn't erase a career's worth of evidence, but it's hard to say this Chiefs offense is still boring under Smith. Coach Andy Reid pilots a creative offense which borrows liberally from the spread concepts Smith used to run in college. He wound up completing 28 of 35 passes for 368 yards and four touchdowns. It was the first time a Bill Belichick-coached team has ever given up two touchdown passes over 75 yards in the same game.

Smith benefited from a coverage bust and the incredible talent of his playmakers Tyreek Hill and Kareem Hunt, but that talent isn't going anywhere. If the Chiefs can put up 42 points during a quiet night from tight end Travis Kelce, they are going to be difficult to stop

That talent isn't going anywhere but into the Hall of Fame!

[Strongside]

I'm not going to count on this all season, but I'll be damned if I'm not going to enjoy the shit outta this one. Alex was fucking NAILS.

[stevieray]

This isnt just any win.

[Hammock Parties]

This isnt just any win.

Because the Chiefs have never beaten the Super Bowl champions during the regular season before.

And certainly not under Andy Reid.

[wasi]

This wierd read-option offense that I was cursing at the of the beginning of the game, really exposed the vaunted NE secondary in the fourth. Alex Smith led that attack and I credit Mahomes.

[kccrow]

He played the best game I've ever seen him play, even when he was with the 49ers. He was on point pretty much all night. One hopes he continues the trend, it was a treat to watch.

Last time he looked anywhere near this good he had a rookie breathing down his neck and damn near got his team to the title game. I'll take it.

[BWillie]

Remember when he was really good in that playoff game 3 years ago? Well he's had 2 games that good ever since. This one included. Lets make it a trend, what do you say?

[stevieray]

Because the Chiefs have never beaten the Super Bowl champions during the regular season before.

Blow it out your ass, dude.

You don't appreciate Smith, yet here you are.

[Hammock Parties]

Wow. Stay classy.

[kysirsoze]

They've done this for 15+ years.

[Rasputin]

Best game I have seen him play as a Chief. What was his QB rating?

> that the GOAT



Just weird how all of a sudden he can turn it on like that whereas he was dog ass much of last year.

[stevieray]

Wow. Stay classy.You have no high ground to claim..EVER

....because thats what youve shown Smith. Right?

Nothing but a troll....

[kccrow]

The Smith haters come in here, pay respect for Alex having a great game, then the Smith homers gotta come out with shit about trolls and everything else. What a great place. How about this slapdicks: we see Smith string about 4 of these together like the actual good QBs in the league can do, then we'll talk about trolling. If he reverts to his usualy 63% with 180 yards and the offense manufactures 1 TD, then you guys can go fuck yourselves with a molten iron dildo.

This game pretty much inks a Smith extension for three years. Barring injury, Mahomes never starts more than half a season before being traded or signing elsewhere.

Because Chuefs

[Reerun_KC]

I'm a huge Alex smith doubter. But dayum tonight he was on fire. Where has this been and why now? Why all the wasted opportunities until now.

Let's hope he continues. If so it's gonna be a fun year. The mahomes effect is real!

I hope he shoves it in our faces next week and the week after that.

That is what I wish he would do. Shove it in our faces week after week. Unfortunately he hasn't yet. Hopefully week two will start a different trend for him. I would absolutely be thrilled if he did.

[Red Dawg]

Smith has deserved all the criticism he's gotten for certain. We drafted a stud and put him on notice and last night he responded and woke up. He was fantastic on numerous drives and deserve credit for playing to win.

He was a difference maker and who'd a thunk it.

[farmerchief]

You definitely were the best QB on the field, last night. Lets continue the success!:clap:

[RealSNR]

Also, the Chiefs are going to lose a game. It's going to happen. They'll probably lose more than one.

When they do drop one, watch BipolarPlanet change on a dime. We're not exactly reasonable fans who take it all in stride when things don't go the way they're supposed to.

We get another week and a half of sunshine, unicorns, and cinnamon buns. Then it's the same thing, where Smith will make a mistake or two in the game and we'll be chewing his ass out in the game thread.

Or, God forbid, we lose a game.

He did not deserve all the criticism he was getting on here. A lot of you here were blaming for pretty much everything wrong w this team and saying he sucks so get out of here w that BS.

Bullshit. He deserved every bit of criticism he got, especially for his performance in the playoffs last year.

Alex had the best game of his career last night, and props to him. But just because he had a career night does not mean he does not deserve any criticism of his previous shitty performances.

I think it lit a fire but Smitty made it clear to Chris Collinsworth before the game the Chiefs will be pushing the ball down the field more this year. It might just be a change of scheme, Alex working on his deep ball more in the offseason etc...

Either way, I like it...

[Ming the Merciless]

imagine this place if Tom Brady was our qb and we just lost to Alex Smith, it would be flying banners telling tommy to retire

I doubt it, not if we had witnessed 5 superbowls

Imagine being a part of 5 superbowl wins since 2002 (2 years after the planet opened up shop)

Imagine all of the AFC championships and 15 years of winning like 12 games a year on average

Nah...we would probably treat this game as just a WTF blip on the radar....

One of the reasons I think we get so testy is precisely because we havent tasted an AFC championship in so long

Something had him playing differently on Thursday, and it was good to see. Let's hope he doesn't regress to the old Alex.

[UtahChief]

No one can tell me Mahomes hasnt lit a serious fire under his ass

Thats finally the QB we've all been waiting for
Hope you are correct but it is just one game.

Also qb is such a skill position that I can't see effort explaining Smith's great game. Personally I attribute it to an improved OL

[UtahChief]

That happened to Brady back when the Chiefs clobbered the Pats on MNF. Didn't mean anything then but Brady wasn't 40 then.

[BWillie]

Thinking about getting a patch or a Mahomes iron on to put over the "Charles" on my jersey. Yeah, I know the number won't be the same.

[trd84]

The biggest difference was play calling and pass protection. Notice the lack of screens and 1 read pass plays where there is only one receiver looking to get the ball while the others are in blocking mode. Hard to be aggressive when you're throwing 5 yards behind the line all night.

He was still the same Alex not forcing the ball down the field into tight coverage taking shots when he saw the guy open. And pulling the ball down trying to run when nothing was there after getting pressure. he had more opportunities. And he was a little more accurate because I think we've practiced this all off season and Andy is gonna call a more vertical less horizontal passing game this year.

This offense has always been its best when Andy calls traditional pass plays and lets Alex read the defense. And at its worse when he gets cute and everything is horizontal.

The one deep ball to Hunt was money. If he even throws that ball a little behind that's not a TD. That was pinpoint accuracy. He even threw deep to Kelce one on one even though it wasn't a catch. Also those shovel passes were working all night long. I'm all for replacing screen plays with shovel passes
