2017 NFL Playoffs Wild Card Round

They just aired a commercial for the 2018 NFL draft and previewed what Mel Kiper Jr was doing to prepare. One of the things was no joke “calculating upside”
And of course the most important metric for any prospect, 40 yard dash time. That is, if they are black and have a good 40 time. If they are white and have a good 40 time, its not that important.

Alex Smith is shredding the Titans all black defense.

One of the announcers said it was hard to explain why the Titans don't pass the ball well. Then they talked about the weapons the offense has.
Unbelievable. The reason is the poor play of the media favorite non-white quarterback.

Did they change the rules again? That was plain as day helmet to helmet.

Amazing that Smith has been deemed expendable next season.

Alex Smith playing great.
He's reputed to have a weak arm. I don't see it. It looks to me he has a decent arm.
Any opinions on this? Do you think my assessment is correct?

Announcers just nonchalantly quipping that this will be Pat Mahomes’ team once Alex Smiths contract expires
Chiefs have what, 8 White starters today, including Smith and Kelce and Sorensen and Zombo on defense. Not bad at all for an NFL team. Hopefully Kelce returns for the second half. He's got the kind of wiggerish personality the media loves but he's an undeniable great talent.
It's a shame Smith didn't throw downfield earlier in his career. I don't think anyone knew how good he could be until this season. He really has all the tools and is still a fast runner even at the age of 34. If the Chiefs decide to go with Mahomes next season, the dropoff will be as dramatic as that of Green Bay playing Hundley when Rodgers was injured.

That commercial has been on several times now. No mention of his low success rate in "calculating upside" and "quantifying twitch" as it pertains to draft prospects though. Must be nice to have job security of a weatherman and be an "expert" at something you are so bad at.

The Titans should have replaced Mariota with Weeden earlier this season. He would have done better than Mariota.

Truly bizzare. In five years as a starter for the Chiefs he has a 50-26 record, he's made the playoffs every season except for one, he's thrown 102 td's to 33 interceptions, he has an average passer rating of 95, and he's coming off his very best season ever as a pro. If he were black he'd already have a huge contract extension by now.

Decker TD
did not expect a titan comeback

Yeah and Sean McDonough has mentioned it a dozen times since, even though there's been a ton of drops by blacks in this game. Nice to see Decker make the clutch TD reception.
