Sherman shut down Green last time they played but that was everyone's rookie year including Dalton's. In fact I'm pretty sure the first time I ever heard of Richard Sherman was after the game when he was talking poo poo on Green.

Ike Taylor used to inexplicably shutdown AJ too until he got even slower in his dotage. But the few instances in Sherman's dominant stretch where people completed a few balls, the receivers are big, tall and fast

He got beat by Jerome Simpson and they just moved AJ to where he wouldn't be covered by Sherman:

Rodgers is going to eat the 49ers defense. Mangini tries to disguise the blitz but instead leaves slow dudes 5 steps behind their coverage.
Kap still needs to learn to throw poo poo away. Like straight Eli throw it into the stands because this team couldn't come from down 10 when they had more talent. Down 14 is game over 3 minutes in.

Andy should be on the hot seat, but he will be fine. Alex Smith should be benched, but will continue to start.

We wonder why the Chiefs are a playoff futile franchise and honestly it really shouldn't be a mystery. It's maddening just thinking of how much talent they have wasted, are currently wasting and the future guys who they will draft and have no hope.

Through everything, this franchise never learned why trying to fix the QB position in FA will never work. They deserve every bit of failure.

He had a bad half but he didn't throw the game away on picks or fumbles. He was also completely destroyed by the pass rush (7 sacks, 8 hits) and didn't have a lot of help. I mean, it was a bad game of his sure but putting this on the QB is a bit much.

Did you blackout drunk for that last Matt Cassel year? I mean, I wouldn't blame you if you did but holy gently caress you do not mean this. Look at the bears after they lost their Alex Smith. Really goddamn bad, and you do not want that. I do not want that.

Chiefs should look into finding an alex smith replacement, sure. But just ditching him with no plan is a recipe for disaster.

Having watched the game I can't see how it's possible to put this game NOT on Alex Smith, dude was skittish, didn't throw beyond the LOS very often, held the ball way too long

of course the offensive line sucked but he also had no pocket presence whatsoever

Full disclosure, I watched the first half and most of the third quarter before having to leave work and I put this pretty squarely on the defense, that offensive line and alex smith. I don't see how it's solely his fault is all, this was a combined effort of poo poo not just a hey look at htis bad quarterback being bad. That first half was a trainwreck from the entire team.

Quick thoughts after the Packers game:

Rodgers is going to be raptured on the field one of those days, he's just going to complete a 80 yard touchdown then ascend to Heaven right then and there. I've watched a lot of really loving amazing quarterbacks play in my lifetime, Marino, Favre, Manning, Elway, Young, Brady... but Rodgers is just utterly transcendent.

The Packers are getting a fuckton of mileage out of those cross-over plays to Cobb. I can't imagine that it'll keep working for much longer once teams have tape on it.

The defense actually looks coherent, having put together two solid performances two weeks in a row. The Seahawks' and Chiefs' garbage time stats are simply a product of Capers deliberately deciding to play prevent and grind out as much clock as possible. Up until that point, the Packers defense has shut down two straight offenses in a row. Now, of course, both teams' offenses have looked absolutely woeful so far, so we can't really evaluate much off it yet. What really impresses me is the variety of Packers defenders who are stepping up and making really big plays. HHCD, Damarious Randall, Jayrone Elliott are all very young but already making game-changing plays on the defense. Clay Matthews has revitalized his career playing from inside linebacker. Mike Daniels threw the Chiefs OL around like toys tonight.

Building upon that point, I really genuinely sincerely have to give Dom Capers credit for two consecutive excellent gameplanning. For the first half tonight, just as he did last week against Wilson and the Hawks, the Packers defense took away the run game and forced Alex Smith to make plays with his arms and legs. Of course, unlike Wilson, Smith is incapable of doing so, and came out of the first half with, what was it, 31 passing yards? The Chiefs looked utterly impotent until the Packers began giving them as much room as possible in the aforementioned effort to grind out the clock -- which, don't get me wrong, very nearly backfired on them. But garbage time stats aside, the prevent defense did its job tonight and the Chiefs ran out of time to make anything more than a minimal effort at a comeback.

No idea why Clay is on the punt team. Chiefs punting did an excellent job. Kickoffs not so much, Montgomery had two pretty good returns.

All those gigantic free plays on offsides flags that Rodgers has been consistently pulling off, I think it's going to cause a big shift in the NFL one way or another. Either the NFL is going to change the rules for it, or coaches will be forced into making sure that their players keep on playing even after the flag instead of giving up and standing around. Or both, maybe?

12-men-on-the-field being flagged is going to be a consistent thing going forward, however, and I'm happy to see that the no-huddle is paying off a couple years after it was implemented.
