We've been over this before. The notion that Herm inherited some talent-laden team is ridiculous. The offense was in sharp decline as soon as he got here. The defense was in shambles.

Bottom line...Herm deserves more of a chance.

Trent Green? Gone.
Eddie Kennison? Almost 35 years old and breaking down.
Priest Holmes? 2 years removed from football and 34 years old.

I would bet you every penny I have that if Herm went to Tony and said "we want to trade you to NE or Ind or GB and have you work a new deal with that team" that TG would jump all over it. He is flustrated as all of us are at the inept play calling and shackles put on whomever is at QB. That 4th quarter showed me all I need to see. Herm does not play to win the game, he plays to HOPE that he wins the game. And TG and the guys are seeing right through his bu*****it mantra now. Don't be surprised if the tailspin get worse.

the Talking Can 11-20-2007 10:30 AM

It feels like we're all arguing right past each other...

I fault Herm for being a coward in the 4th quarter. And this is not the first time he has done it.

I fault Herm for deciding - before a game is played - that we can't win. That is chickenshit.

That doesn't negate the good things he has done with our defense and most of our personnel. But it is worrisome because it points to a critical flaw...a Marty type flaw, something Chiefs fans are innately aware of and afraid of.

And Herm does himself no favors when he speaks. He does throw people under the bus. He just threw Tony, Bowe, and Croyle under the bus by saying he didn't trust them enough to let them try and win. They are prideful players and that has to sting.

Honestly, if it weren't for Croyle's presence on this team I think I would have reached a breaking point with this franchise. My ability to care is almost gone.

I can only hope that Herm doesn't ruin Croyle by turning him into a coward. But it could easily happen.

You need to re-read my post. I did not say high caliber exclusive to the offense. The whole team was full of "profile" guys, that was my point.
It was full of guys like Rison and Dan Williams when Dick took over. Got it?

But since you bring it up, Willie Roaf decided to retire after Herm took over. It was a very sudden change of heart, I wonder why?

Trent Green spoke up about the offensive play calling, gone.

He doesn't mention any players by name in his comments you're referring to. How do you know he's not talking about Weigman, Welbourne, Terry and Turley? Their performance directly affects what Brodie, Bowe, TG and any other skill position player can do.

Because his wife closed her poonanny and threatened to keep it closed unless he stayed home.
Roaf was high on the season and high on the new regime in the OTAs, then he tweaked his wounds again at the end of OTAs and his wife said enuff'zenuff.

This is the shit that burns me, there is no evidence that Roaf had any problem with Herm, but that doesn't stop the innuendo.

doesn't matter, he's not letting a great player like Tony have a chance to make a great play...he's not repaying Bowes's awesome self-confidence by having the confidence to throw him the damn ball....

if you won't even try you are disrespecting the work, effort, and talent of some fine players....they know that...that's why Tony is pissed, and he has the seniority, unlike Brodie and Bowe, to say something...

Chiefnj2 11-20-2007 10:36 AM

If you read between the line Herm is saying:

" I watch these guys in practice all week. I'm shocked that in a game situation they can jog from the bench and onto the field without hurting themselves or getting lost along the way. Last week we had an 11 on 2 drill. Only 2 defensive players - Bell and Kershaw and the offense still lost 3 yards on first down before turning it over on the next play. I can't risk that in a game."

I think Herm is crippled by the Carl legacy. If this were 1989, we'd probably all be thrilled with what's going on. But since we've lived through all the heartbreak and failures of the past 18 years, particularly the Marty style of football from the 90s, few of us are willing to ignore the past and cut Herm some slack.

That may be unfair -- Herm may actually have the right formula, this time. But for too many of us, this path looks familiar. We were willing to accept conservative football in the 90s because 1) it was superior to the shit we played from around 1975-88, and 2) we weren't yet exposed to its critical limitations.

It's why Zouk's stuff just doesn't reach me. He clearly believes it with all his heart. He's an apostle. But I'm just not digging the gospel anymore. It's like a Christian vs. Jew thing with this team now. You either have the faith or you don't.

Or throw incomplete. Or run for it on 3rd down and fall short. In other words, what if we recovered -- and STILL didn't convert?

Here's another hypothetical. What if we threw deep once and got a pass interference penalty that set us up for a short FG or even a TD?

What if? What if? What if? With all due respect, that's all your post is. And although it begins on a defensive play that didn't happen, it still assumes the offense must convert it -- which is no different than all the other what-ifs the critics are throwing out.

We whittled the game down to one possession in the 4th quarter. So what did we do?

1) Run for loss; short pass; short pass; punt
2) Run for no gain; short pass; PASS FOR FIRST DOWN (!); rush for loss; rush for loss; draw; punt.

We had the ball -- just like in your scenario. What did we do with it? We played scared.

Here's what's frustrating -- Herm's game plan WORKED, right up to the point where he FAILED TO CAPITALIZE ON IT. He undermined his entire philosophy.

It's like finally scoring a date with the hot chick, and then being too afraid to give her a goodnight kiss.

I understand it's hard to see it now. But Croyle and Bowe are rookies or essentially rookies this year and the O-line is stomach turning. Next year when we put more offensive talent out there with Croyle and Bowe, combined with a D that can hold the Colts to 13 in the RCA dome, it'll no longer be a question of faith. We will all see it with our own eyes.

No, not at all. In fact, I have no tolerance for losing, even while rebuilding. However, my point was an effort to refute GoChiefs point about Herm doing a better job than DV. In fact, Dick had a real mess he inherited. Herm started with a better team, do you agree with that? If not, you and I can not communicate.

You mean the one where Herm lost a starting QB and lost an offensive line that was the staple of the #1 offense? So no line and no qb who ran the offense to perfection and a 28th rank defense. I think your history might be a little cloudy.

You mean you are compairing a 2nd round pick couch that in 5 years got his team to 1 playoof game in which they lost to a 4th round coach that in his first year got to a playoff game and lost. Seem to me we got more of a deal on Herm than Dick.

I would end this part of your discussion right now. This is a no win situation if you want to compair draft picks.

Herman Edwards is intent on waiting for the opposition to make a mistake. Screw controlling your own destiny.

Sitting on the ball going into the Half, with 1:15 and three timeouts, was unforgivable.

Not defending the move, but would driving down to watch Rayner miss another 45yd kick matter?

I've come to the conclusion and thought, why waste breath on Herm?

This is all Carl's fault. He hired him. He thought he did a great job in NY managing both sides of the ball. But yet failed to look past his offenses in NY.

And it is Clark Hunts fault for giving a 4 year contract extension to an underachieving General manager.

It all works in sequence folks. This is what they get and deserve!

Total aside from the rest of the discussion but was Rayner still in a Chiefs uniform? If so, then you have to trust him to do his job regardless of previous performance.

Okay, after listening to this fuckwit, I've reached the conclusion that his only goal is to not get Brodie killed.

I agreed with not going for it right there. If we were out around the 40, then by all means go for some points. But not back at our 20. We could have been on the lead anyway if Rayner makes a kick or two. A couple of quick incompletes, and we give the ball back to Manning near midfield with a minute to go in the half, and we are probably trailing at half. If we are out near the 40, then if things don't go well, Indy is probably getting the ball back near thier 20 with a minute to go, and we can probably hold them to the tie at half. This decision by Herm is not hard for me to understand.

Not unleashing the offense at the 8:30 mark in the 4th quarter in a 10-10 tie is another matter though.

He keeps saying that he KNOWS that Brodie can't do what people are asking of him. How does he KNOW that's true?
