I was there.
Meh. Even with that, the bullshit whistle when forward progress wasn't stopped is what killed the game.

Which has little to do Kap getting them to the Super Bowl the year after, other than the concussion. That’s what mikev is pointing out, right?

Steee-riiike!
to be fair, Smith was the highest rated passer in the NFL when he went down with injury and subsequently replaced permanently by Kaep. we'll never know, but to be sure that Smith wouldn't have gotten them to the superbowl or won it, isn't quite set in stone.

by the way, with the offensive pass interference call last night in the end zone against Crabtree with 3 seconds left on the clock...why wasn't there a 10 second runoff for that? I am happy there wasn't, but i wasn't watching the game with the sound on so I didn't hear an explanation. anyone?

Because it was the most garbage call ever?
Basically, there's no runoff because even without the penalty the clock would have stopped anyways because it was a TD.
Compared to the play before when Cook caught the TD that was reviewed and called down on the 1/2 yard line, because the result of the review was that he was in the field of play, they did the runoff.

"...For the uninitiated, the issue at hand is the automatic 10-second runoff, which is enforced if a replay review shows that a ball carrier was actually down in the field of play instead of down in the end zone or out of bounds."

I was just wondering what that play the previous year had to do with kap at that point of the convo?
As for Smith, I think Harbs jobbed him, and the team saw that.

They DID do the runoff after they reviewed the TD to Cook that wasn't a TD. There were 18 seconds on the clock and then ran it down to 8
Kaep beat Green Bay by himself in the playoffs. No way Smith does.
Just happened to catch the last couple minutes of last night's game, super fun. Couldn't believe all the blatant push offs from the receivers, didn't get called on at least half of them. I'd be cranky if I were a Chiefs fan.

pure speculation.
smith wouldn't have thrown the pick 6 at the beginning of the game.
smith can scramble.
with smith, the 9ers would have controlled the ball longer.

IMO (from a homer POV), the chiefs DBs were falling awfully easy and very soccer-esque all game long. perhaps the refs were noticing this too?
both the DBs and receivers were jostling for postion on many plays. there's always a little contact down the field. the fouls were called minimally both ways, on the DBs and the WRs. Additionally, 10 calls went against the Raiders while 8 went against the Chiefs (the most penalized team in the league). So Chefs fans can be butthurt all they want...in fact I'd prefer it

True, and there is also the fact that Kaep is a terrible QB that managed to play 2 full seasons in a gimmick offense while screwing his teammates girlfriends, and his career played out just as fast as the Pistol Offense did.
As opposed to Smith, who is a 2 time pro bowler, and has proven himself a reliable passer, game manager, and team leader over a decade long career as a starter across multiple coaches on multiple teams. He is no Peyton, but he sure ain't a hopped up RB trying to pretend he is something that he isn't.
Your revisionist history is astounding.
You have to be honest about it though. Smith has wiped a good deal of victory deodorant over the crappy years he spent in SF from 2005 to 2010. All of it has come after he resurrected his career there as well. KC took a gamble on him when they did. No one was sure if he was going to be able to replicate the success he had under Harbs with a different coach.
And if we took away the horrendous first four years of Smith's career when he had as many coordinators and played for a team still reeling from the cap hole it dug for itself?
Top it off with Kap only being a starter for how long? He hasn't even provided enough evidence to judge him by other than his failure to win the big one.
