Regular season is like sitting in the driveway of the hot girl you have always wanted to bang house

Playoffs is you make it inside her house

Divisional is making it to the bedroom

Super Bowl is getting to bang her like all the porn you watched preparing for this night

Winning is getting to finish on her face and take pictures

If you are not making it to the banging you did nothing but waste time and end up alone and ****ing yourself as you cry in the shower

Some of us aren’t happy driving to the house to have popcorn and take a tour of her house like you and others who settle for the participation trophy of making it to the house

Or he doesnt want to admit his mistake with Smith, and would rather be the captain going down with the ship. Its not like this hasnt happened before with Pioli and Cassel.

Reid always admits his mistakes and takes the blame. Reid may have a lot of faults but not taking responsibility is certainly not one of them.

Fail post.

I want to win the SB as much as any fan here but to say we can't accomplish that with Smitty is false. It's been done by other teams with worse QBs. End of the day football is and always will be a team game.

Gee, I wonder what all of those teams had in common? What could it be? :hmmm:

I think we’ve all agreed at some point over the last few years that Smith COULD win a SB on the right team, in the right situation. I honestly even thought earlier this year we might have such a team this season. However, I think most of us have now realized that the loss of Berry, vaporization of our pass rush, and unfixed run defense have left us with a defense that bears no resemblance to those in years past. A strong, playmaking, scoring defense is one thing that I think Smith must have to win a SB.

So yes, Smith COULD win a SB, but the Chiefs now lack some of the key requirements for him to do so. Mahomes probably won’t win the SB for us this year either. It would take special quarterbacking to overcome our defensive weaknesses. However, Smith sure as hell isnt going to do it or he would have been doing already over the last 5 games.

People’s side in this debate comes down to what kind of personality they have. Think of driving along in your car and you come up to a traffic jam that is moving slowly but not stopped. You are in a place you don’t know very well and don’t have access to google maps. There are side roads leading off all over the place with no traffic on them. You think they will take you where you want to go, but can’t be completely sure. Do you take off and try to find a way around or do you just sit there in traffic moving slowly along and stick it out? This franchise has been sitting in traffic for years and those of us who would take off on the side roads are anxious to get out of the jam and try a new way. We’ve done the slow and steady thing already and it’s boring as hell. Football is supposed to be fun and unpredictable. Let’s have some fun already. You can’t tell me you have been enjoying Chiefs football over the last 5 games.

Look, I can understand your point but I don't entirely agree with it. All of those other QBs you mentioned either were able to step up their games when the pressure was on and/or had good to great defenses. The Chiefs with Smith at QB do not have any of that. After attending the playoff game last year against Pitt last year, I had had enough. I said I would not spend another dime on the team until they addressed the glaring weakness of the QB position. They did that and I was happy. Then Alex played the best of his career to start the season and I got caught up in the excitement. Still, I have always maintained that I was still skeptical that Smith will continue that play in the playoffs. It appears that he has regressed back to his normal below average play well before the playoffs. I have no confidence that he will ever take the Chiefs anywhere.

Also, don't compare Alex with Russel Wilson or any of those other guys. They have proven to have the ability to step up their games and win. Alex has never done that.

I don't buy this argument. If he didn't want to admit his mistake with Smith then they would not have traded up to draft Mahommes. This argument doesn't pass the logic test.

Hate Cowherd but he has Alex Smith nailed.

""Alex Smith has done this to us five times, maybe four, maybe six. I'm losing count. When he looks great when the weather's good, September, October, and then when it gets cold, the guy without a great arm, when it's windy, and it's cold, and it's rainy, and it's snowing is average. Every single game he's ever played in the playoffs, except one when he won 30-0 against Brian Hoyer, didn't you think in every one of those games, he's the second-best quarterback on the field?

In his last three playoff games, he's had exactly one touchdown pass in each playoff game. His big playoff win, 30-0, took the opening kickoff for a touchdown did Kansas City against Houston, Brian Hoyer, warm weather, four touchdowns. Here's an interesting stat.

Bill Belichick always says football is about post-Thanksgiving. It's cold, it's wet, it's dreary, it's windy, it is rainy. You've got to be able to play in that weather to win Super Bowls. It doesn't matter how good you are in September and early October.

Here is Alex Smith, 35 degrees and below in his career, 5-7, 60% completion rate, under 200 yards a game, a pathetic 15 touchdowns, 10 picks, and a passer rating of 82. Do you know what his record is when it's 60 or above? His passer rating jumps to 90. His touchdowns and interceptions, 2 to 1 ratio. His record is 40-22.

Am I supposed to believe Alex Smith in the offseason had a bunch of creatinine, and he has totally jacked up now. He can throw a great deep ball. We've seen this multiple times. Certain guys, very good early, those are often guys without the howitzer, without the big arm, without the big frame.

Yet a Joe Flacco can struggle early. But in the playoffs, big strong 6' 5", 245, Joe Flacco has been pretty good. Tom Brady throws a pretty good football in cold weather, is fantastic in December and January.

I've got nothing against Alex Smith. But how much do we know in the NFL for sure? This is the team we love. I've seen Alex Smith play several playoff games late in the season. He always looks like the second-best quarterback on the field.

And if you look at his win-loss record, his completion percentage, his passing yards a game, his passer rating, and his touchdowns in cold weather, which is November, December, and January football, he's below average. Why do we keep getting fooled by stuff? So if this is the team we're absolutely sure is great, you want to make a bet they're not as good December 9th.""

It's pointless to bring facts to PA's attention. He's one of the dumbest homer posters on this board

Until Alex Smith learns how to beat Zone, he is by far the biggest problem in our 5-game slide. He has played poorly in the majority of those games.

We can do a lot worse than Alex Smith. But is that the intent? What Alex Smith gives us is, when surrounded by an outstanding defense, he gives you a decent shot at a playoff win and a very outside chance at a Super Bowl. I'm happy we had Smith. He got us the playoff win we badly needed. But it's time to move on from him. Now, if we see the Alex Smith from earlier in the year, I'm all aboard. I've always believed he has so much potential if he can ever break out of his consistent habit of game management. But we keep setting ourselves up for the same above average results over and over again. While you point out our playoff successes, most of our playoff losses were a repeat of the same dink and dunk Alex Smith we've been fighting against.

Football isn't an individual sport. So rather than complaining that all our pieces suck, I would ask what Alex Smith is doing to make his offense better. Does he get rid of the ball quickly? Not at all. Does he stretch the defense to give Hunt room to run? No. Does he consistently help his blockers by quickly and consistently spotting the hot read on a blitz? No. Does he give his receivers opportunities to make plays or does he continually reward the safety valve? I think we all see that we have plenty of playmakers on offense, but we have a QB who just can't get it done. I don't want a QB that needs an elite defense to win games. We need a QB who can carry our team a few times too.

I'm cool with giving him the rest of the season. I'll do cartwheels if he figures this thing out and good thing we're hitting this wall early. Unfortunately, I don't know that this is a problem Alex can wiggle his way out of. The only way for Alex Smith to beat this slump is to stop being Alex Smith.

Good thing you're not a chick, otherwise you'd fall for the "I promise not to cum in your mouth" line every time.

I understand your frustration man. Believe me I get it but there are plenty of ways to win a SB. Blaming one player, who is clearly a good QB, in a team game like football for a teams failures isn't fair.

We didn't lose that Steelers game because of Alex Smith. He had a bad game but overall he played pretty much just as well as Big Ben did. Difference was Bell ran all over us while our running game was pretty much nonexistent.

And Alex Smith has stepped his game up in the playoffs plenty of times. Check out his playoff stats. They speak for themselves.

Do you? How long have you been a Chiefs fan?

I don't know how anyone can watch our steelers playoff loss and not believe that Alex Smith was by far the #1 reason we lost. Of course it isn't the only reason. But it was the main reason.

Seems pretty wild for a QB to come out and throw a former teammate under the bus like that, he better not be expecting a Christmas card from the Smith household this year

I know Reid benched McNabb and others, but its just hard to see him doing it in this instance IMO
