i watched this whole game. i dont pay that much attention to him or his career, except i do know he loves TE's and RB's. did he have 1 completion to a WR past the line of scrimmage? his wr's just go out there and run routes knowing they wont get the ball?
Other than Tyreek Hill who is kind of a WR in name only, he's like a Percy Harvin type, they don't have any WR's of note.
and KC looked like the best team in league
not sure what has happen the past few weeks
it was even the topic of discussion for the game announcers on one of the nationally televised games they had, how Alex had made that change and the Chiefs were winning games because of it.
He completed a bomb downfield to Hill. One of the picks was downfield as well.
Chiefs OL and run game has struggled the last month.
They also lost the #2 and 3 WRs.
Eli lost WR's 1-4, he still throws to 5-8, hah...smith throws to TE and RB only.
This- particularly in the run game. Once teams shut down the run without 8men in the box, it became a matter of doubling Kelce and keeping someone over the top to keep Hill from getting behind them.
It also doesn't help that as he always has, Reid gives up on the run way too quickly.
Their defense has also been a huge letdown this year- the loss of Eric Berry seems to have had a huge impact.

Alex Smith is 21-40 this year on deep passes, 1st in the league
Eli is 10 of 38, 30th in the league

We scored 12 points and needed overtime to do it. Let's not act like we were running some sort of aerial circus out there
At 5.9 YPC, it's more like a game of table tennis.
When you lose 4 out of 5, maybe you should rethink things.
he had the same problem Sanchez had a sailing footballs and and arm that is not strong enough. You could see Smith risk managing the game yesterday.
