Now everyone knows why Philly got rid of Reid.
And why SF wanted to ditch Smith.
Reid tightens up in the playoffs. In spite of those injuries, they could have and should have won it.
And Smith is just gutless. He stopped trying to score TDs midway through the half. You could almost read "Just don't fumble the game away or throw a pick" in every snap. The moment they got near the goal line he refused to even try to put it in the end zone.
And the Chiefs rolling out with playcalling like running up the middle on the opponent's 40 with a 25th string RB, well they deserved to lose. They needed to get closer, not drain the clock down. But here they are trying to drain to clock down to preserve a lead they didn't even have yet and wouldn't get.
Alex Smith and Reid are take no chances guys that play football not to lose, so they win a lot in the regular season but lose in the playoffs against teams that try to win.
I don't know what game you were watching but perhaps it would be best to think defense issues by KC; not offense.
