While this is true bc the Chiefs have a great defense and their offense is almost void of playmakers, let’s not downplay Mahomes at all. In 113 games (regular season/playoffs), he and his team has lost by 8 points or more only 4 times. Going to guess that 80/85% of that was when they didn’t have this level of defense. Long story short, never bet against Pat Mahomes. He is that ELITE. It says something when the opposing team can’t even stop a team with 1 great TE, almost good RB and that’s it. He finds a way to win.

I'm not downplaying Mahomes. All I'm saying that in the 5 years that Alex Smith was a Chief, he and his team only lost by 8 or more points 8 times, and this is with WRs similar to what he had to play with this season for majority of his time there. I mean, let's look at how the playoffs went.

-2013: Scored 44 points against the Colts and lost
-2014: Went 9-7 and missed the playoffs
-2015: Lost to the Patriots by 7
-2016: Lost to Pittsburgh by 2 (converted game tying 2-point conversion but holding penalty killed it)
-2017: Went up 21-3 at halftime against the Titans. Lost 22-21. (opposite of what happened yesterday..lol)

When you really break things down, Smith got a raw deal in Kansas City..lol. If Alex Smith got another season with that squad, it would have been interesting but we know what happened. Mahomes threw 50 touchdown and won MVP while only winning 2 more games than the season prior and winning a playoff game. Then came Spags...lol
