i understand ...... and you're right


BUT ..... there seems to be a pattern, under Marty the offensive players just always seemed to under perform and make silly mistakes.

under Dick Vermeil the defensive players seem to under perform and make mistakes.

now again .... under a 'defensive' head coach we seem to have players that aren't prepared.

There are 10-20 players taken ahead of Medlock that have already been cut.

What are we supposed to do? Keep putting up with misses in the hopes that someday he might be able to hit the 45 yarder on poor dirt on the road that the guy off the street made yesterday?

Problem is, the Chiefs aren't rebuilding. They are in a "transition" phase. Herm nor Carl will commit to rebuilding. As said before, if we were rebuilding, why isn't Croyle the starter?

If the Chiefs were rebuilding, I don't think you would see the kind of bitching you do now from the fans. Most would probably except the losses in the hopes that the young kids would be gaining some valuable game xp, and instead of worrying about W-L it would be more about this kids blocking fundamentals, and that kids speed and ball hawking ability. This would build anticipation for next season, but instead, it just looks to be more of the same for the forseeable future.

I agree with you. Herm would have done himself a big favor in terms of perception with the fans if he started the season with Croyle instead of Huard. I hope he makes the move this week.

Yeah, especially when Dunn (who was called for the penalty) was out all of training camp.

I think the offense will eventually come together. It's just that with so many missing pieces for most of training camp, it's going to take longer than the defense. Especially since the Chiefs don't have much depth in certain positions.

The thing I can't understand at this point is "why" the Chiefs go "vanilla" in the preseason. If they're using the same offensive system since 2001, everyone in the league is already familiar with it. Why not PRACTICE that system during the games?

It makes no sense.

He made one and missed one. If we (herm) isn't gonna hold the offense accountable for the preseason then the kicker shouldn't be either, therfore he was cut for missing ONE FG. Great coaching.

Semantics. Herm told the announcers of the game that with all 61 players on the roster (practice squad included), the Chiefs are the youngest team in the league. YOU and I and everyone else here knows the Chiefs are rebuilding but for some reason, they don't want to publicly come out and say it.

Just another ironic move by the front office. They claim to have great and intelligent fans, yet we're not intelligent enough to see a team rebuilding?

Idiots.

Herm got rid of a bad kicker. End of discussion. What one player has to do with another is not relavent.

We can start a new convesation about canning Drummond. I vote yes. But that decision has nothing to do with what happened to a piss poor kicker.

Some people are idiots and can't admit that we have a bad coach that the game has passed him by. He thinks it's 1990 the style of offense he's playing.

He really is a fool.

All those "shifts and motions" seem to have the same effect as Gunther's blitzes--- the other team seems to know what is coming anyway.

While they may be improving on defense, they are regressing in the other two areas (I use last season as well for the barometer).

Just like Vermeil did with the offense, you cannot put that much pressure on your defense to do it all.

hmmmm

Maybe they do....see Patriots.

Reach...

I don't believe this is true. We were just not ready in September to play good defenses on the road, particularly with Kennison out. But the additions of Bowe (who is still learning the plays) and McIntosh (who played half or less of the snaps) will make this a better offense by the end of the year.
