Actually what he is saying is "it's not my fault it's these other guys over here......LOOK!"

Same thing he did in NY it's how he is.

that's EXACTLY what he said....

we gave up before the game even started

Herm was convinced we couldn't win, so he never even let Brodie try....

makes me sick, ****ing loser

That decision would cost us at least 30 seconds we could have run off the clock by just running the ball. You must understand that we have no chance of converting a 1st down. :rolleyes:

I'll give Herm another offseason to build this team and, specifically, the offense. If things don't change next year I'll jump off the bandwagon.

can somone ask Herm why he would rather "not try, and lose" as opposed to "to a risk, and maybe win"?

I've never seen a coach before who would rather lose than task a risk.

Thanks Carl. Go ****ing kill yourself.

Haven't you heard? Carl doesn't have final say on head coaches. Surely the Hunts are to blame!!!

He makes no sense. "we have more 3 and outs than any other team in the league, so we need to stay conservative to keep our D off the field." Uhmmm, Idiot. 3 and outs are what is keeping your D on the field. :rolleyes:

I'm sure the players are thrilled to find out that their coach had given up before the game even started.

Herm to Allen: "Jared, I need you play your ass off because I have already decided that we won't try to score any points."

Herm to Brodie: "Brodie, I know you have a big strong arm and big strong WR, and a big strong hall of fame TE, but I've already decided that we can't score, or win, so just don't throw any ints or fumble any snaps and we'll call it a success, ok?"

Herm to Team before game: "Men, there comes a point in life when you have to give up. This is that point. It is very important that we don't throw any ints, or fumble any snaps. So, in order to make sure that happens we aren't even going to try. Remember: NOTHNG IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN AVOIDING RISK, NOT EVEN WINNING."

Now he blame it on the talent of the players.
What the hell did we hire him for?

FIRE HERM NOW!

A lot of that was due to the offense being run in the preseason, which was low-fat, low-sodium, hint of vanilla ice cream and the o-line was even worse then.

Haven't taken the time to read through all this thread, but Herm's statements are the final wet towel on this season for me.

So he has no confidence in his team to actually move the ball so he becomes ultra-conservative on offense and then he blames all the 3-and-outs as his reason for being ultra-conservative? What a mindless moron. Does he actually have no clue that his play-calling is the MAIN REASON for all the 3-and-outs? We're not a very glod offense, but we could be a whole hell of a lot better if we had a coach who actually tried to score points.

When KC had the ball with 1:35 to go in the first half, I would have bet everything I owned that they would run that draw play. Nearly every team in that situation does it, thinking that if they make a good gain then, and only then, will they start passing the ball to move on down the field and score points. Of course, if they don't get very far with the draw run, the clock is running and they can continue to kill the clock.

Herm's playing what I call Fear Factor Football. He rarely sent his defense in on blitzes against pass-savvy QBs like Manning and Favre 'cuz he feared they would pick his thinned secondary apart. He fears throwing the ball more than 20 yards down field 'cuz he thinks (1) Croyle will get sacked or (2) the opp's defense will intercept the ball.

But, what difference did this make? Manning and Favre still completed passes when we dropped 7 into coverage, and our offense couldn't string enough 3-yard runs and short pass completions to come up with a series of first downs to get into the end zone enough times.

Man I hope the players read this article, or at least heard him say this. He just threw the entire offense underneath the bus.

The point is we have never tried anything different. He just flat out refuses to. We actually have a QB that can throw downfield and we dont even attempt to do it.

“We decided we were going to run the ball on the first play,” Edwards said. “If we got a first down, if we got 15 yards or so, then we were going to go for it. But that didn’t happen. And at that point I didn’t want to give (the Colts) momentum."

**** YOU Herm!!!! At what point do you think we are gonna run the ball for 15 yards on first down when we've only done that a handful of times this entire season? You simply don't have the killer instinct that it takes in this league to win. It's also funny how you say you dont wanna give the Colts momentum, but yet you run a draw play on 3rd and 18, basically just say **** it we're gonna punt it whether you like it or not, and give the ball back to Manning and Co. and not even try to throw for the first down? Oh no we may turn it over and throw for a INT. Big deal, we were gonna give them the ball back anyways.

You're a gutless PoS Herm

You got it right. Last time I heard a Chiefs coach talk like that, it was Marv Levy explaining why he installed the wing T. We had no talent in his opinion. That is what Herm is saying, should really boost the players confidence and moral. Damn this guy is the polar opposite of Vermiel.
