Was his receiver failing to get open forcing him to hold it to long. Was Alex holding trying to make a play that normlly he wouldn't have because he knew the defense was blowing the lead. If there was any running threat, would the Colts have called the same defense they did.
As stated before, they didn't lose that game because of Alex. It was a team lost, but the biggest problem from that game was getting beat for quickly and often with long throws from Luck. Lack of a pass rush and poor saftey play was a huge reason for that. I think the Chiefs were beat more times deep in that game alone than all of this year combined. Not the fault of Alex Smith.
