49ers 31 - Chiefs 9
That would be nice. Wouldn't be an Alex fan that day for sure.
I'd be an Alex fan that day...but I'd be rooting for the 9ers to outscore the Chiefs.
We still win by 10pts with Frank running the ball on the Chiefs.

A big one is a QB who doesn't throw deep very often. This is why the entire other portion of the offense must play flawless. When TD's mainly come from 8-10 play drives taking small chunks at a time, mistakes cannot be made. The smallest mistake appears huge in an Alex Smith lead offense. Why? Because rarely can it over come mistakes due to its inability to make the big play.
A lot of it has to do with the QB's inability to attempt bigger quick-hitting plays.
Look at SEA. Their OL is worse AND they have a more mobile QB. Their receivers are worse. What keeps them from losing games? The QB's ability to make big plays.

There is a flip side to this though - 8-10 play drives eat clock, keep the defense off the field and fresh, tires out the opposing defense for later in the game, makes the running game more effective late in the game, etc. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to watch teams throw deep sideline fades on 3rd and 2, then punt, when their D is tired and the game is slipping away. Take a look at SEA/TB from yesterday - they got away from the running game on 3rd and short a number of times late in the game, and that's why they lost.
Ball-control offenses are not better or worse than quick-strike offenses - they are just different, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. A team with limited WR playmakers is much better served playing Ball Control - see the run-first niners vs the pass-first niners for a great example this season.

Sus, you already know this story: KC defense keeps DEN from scoring a lot of points while waiting for the KC offense to score more than FGs. This will keep the game within one or two scores until DEN exhausts the KC defense and hits them for 14 on two straight drives in the fourth.
KC finally puts a drive together but a WR drops a ball.
Game summary: KC defense let them down because they couldn't hold it. Combine that with drops and there you go. Alex didn't make any mistakes and who cares if he didn't make big plays either.
Option number two: blowout and the OL DEF and WRs looked terrible and didn't come to play.

How many drives more than 7 plays has KC had? Would also like to know how they compare in 3 and outs to the league. It usually seems like their offense doesn't do much except for maybe one or two drives.

You just described just about every team in the NFL that scored 20+ pts
How many drives per game average in the NFL...? Without looking it up I want to say 7-10.

KC is ranked 17th with 22 3 and out drives. The team that is ranked first has 33 3 and out drives.
Cases keep being made that KC offense is making their defense better. However, it is the other way around.
KC offense is ranked 22nd in yards per drive. Lol, their defense is ranked #1.
What it gives them between the two is a net of 7th in yards per drive.
I was curious because all I read is Alex moves the chains and makes his defense better but how can that be if KC offense struggles to score. I watched the last few games and I was not seeing what I read.
Alex does one important thing for his defense and that is not to turn the ball over. However, the KC defense actually can overcome that also due to the poor competition and backup QBs.
So, in KCs case, their defense is making that offense better.

Part of the reason their defense ranked so high, especially lower scores given up. The Chiefs offense rarely given up a turnover in their own territory. That's setting up a wining situation for their defense.
