If the Chiefs players get 9-volt batteries thrown at them, then I hope they pick them up and throw them back at the Raiders fans.

One thing that I noticed. Thus far in 12 games the Chiefs Offense has put the ball in end zone 30 times -- 12 rushing and 18 passing. Add the 10 return TD's and you have a total of 40 for the season. That's a far cry from the season total of 20 scored in 2011 and the season total of 18 in 2012.
Think about that. Alex has thrown 18 TD's in 12 games thus far and nearly matched the teams total TD output of 2011 and equaled the total TD output of 2012. The cost of trading for Alex did appear steep on the surface at first, but when you consider those stats, plus more importantly the number of victories, then you start to wonder if the cost was really as steep as it first appeared.
Absolutely. Some interesting numbers from Alex.....
275 completions in 13 games. More than he has had in any other ENTIRE SEASON.
Average 221 yards passing per game. His best ever.
18 TD passes. Tied for his best season ever (2009).
2873 yards passing. 271 less than his best ever (2011) And that was for a full 16 games. So all he needs is an average of 90.34 yards passing per game through the rest of the season to surpass his previous best.
Alex is having a very good year.
Other than checking down or basically throwing a ball away, he is a pretty accurate passer. He has had numerous dropped balls that hit the recievers square in the chest. I can really think of two passes this year that were just really bad bad passes. Last week against Denver was one.
No matter how you slice it, 2 2cond round picks is a lot to pay. But often times in a trade a team pays a lot and winds up not getting much production from what they traded for. Certainly can't say that about Alex Smith.
Just can't wait to be able to see how Tyler Bray is coming along. We got him Fo Freeeeeeee!
He has also already passed his season high for rushing yards. In fact for total yards he is only 83 away from catching that. Some people still think that Alex is holding this offense back. I think if they just get a top level WR this offense can be up there with the best in the league
