Team sport...

Name the play off game that was lost because of Alex. You can't.

I can name one of Kaep.

lol the superbowl? you're lying to yourself if you think we didn't lose that game because of a mixture of 1st half woes, defense, playcalling, referees and also quite a few of kaep's mistakes.

But there were plays that would have been game changing if Kap didn't screw up...and they were 100% on him.

Can't really say that about Alex's mistakes in play-off games.

You obviously didn't watch Alex play in Indy. Or we wouldn't be having this conversation. He looked, in that game, as good as any QB has ever looked.

That over throw had no impact right ?

For the 49ers sake, I want CK to consistently start playing elite football so we can stop worrying so much about comparisons, and just focus on the 49ers. Both QB's, compared to the rest of the league, have been very successful and there's a lot to be happy about there.

Cyrus Gray, a 3rd string RB who had NEVER repped that play in practice, in post game press conference admitted he slowed down and looked back to see what was happening and then was not able to get going again in time to catch the ball. Had he not stopped it would have been a TD. The LB following him was badly beaten. That was all on Gray. He admitted it.

1/13 3rd down conversion.

The cheifs went 9/16 on third down. Wth are you talking about?

I think the person is referring to the 2011 NFC conference game

Alex Smith is the only player in NFL history with 350 pass yards, 50 rush yards, 4 TD, 0 INT in any game, regular season or playoffs.

It was a heck of a game by Smith, and he actually made a lot of plays, rather than just managing things.

Smith is the biggest enigma of all-time. When he manages a game, and doesn't make plays, his defense is super and the Chiefs win. When Smith actually goes out and makes a ton of plays, and plays incredible in the second half of the year, his defense sucks and his team loses.

Well deserved. Now that his team isn't going to be a factor against ours (i.e., a potential playoff opponent or draft pick status), I think we can all show some class and give the guy SOME level of respect/credit.

Smith had a game like no other. Until Saturday, no player in NFL history had ever passed for 350 yards, four touchdowns, no interceptions and added 50 yards on the ground in any game, regular season or postseason. But Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith became the first player to do it on Saturday when he passed for 378 yards and four touchdowns, with no interceptions, and added 57 rushing yards. Quarterbacks shouldn't be judged on wins and losses: When a quarterback plays the way Smith played on Saturday and leads his team to 44 points, he shouldn't be judged harshly just because his team's defense gave up 45 points. But the reality is that quarterbacks are judged on wins and losses, and so a lot of people will choose to remember that Smith overthrew an open Cyrus Gray on what could have been a touchdown pass, that Smith lost a fumble and that Smith's intentional grounding penalty took the Chiefs out of field goal range late in the game. Me, I'll remember that Smith turned in the game of his life

The overwhelming consensus from observers all across the league is that Alex Smith turned in one of the finest playoff performance on record but injuries on both offense and defense denied him the victory.

Is that so hard to admit?
