Do ya think the players bought into the media we were going to run it down there throats ?

Not a chance, we are just old and slow on the OL.

You're right, of course, Mr. KCTitus. Kicking does fall into the category of special teams although the quick kick may, in fact, be an offensive play. I'd have to look that up. Nevertheless, I failed to recognize that we were limiting the subject to offense only. My error.

So, basically, we need players that can catch, run, block, pass, love each other and make a decent coconut macaroon and we'll be fine.

I was an MP for 5 years and did some reserves after active to finish up my IRR. Just finishing my degree (7years of night school - yuck) and putting together my warrent officer packet - CID not flight.

Did some air assualt training in the army, lots of fun. had more fun rappelling on a SWAT team in the Dallas area, not telling what department. but we did a few drills from the top of a 30 story hotel down to make an entrance from the balcony.

I miss those adrenaline rushes.

KS, huh, like watching people make little rocks out of big ones?

FAX,

Do you now understand the lament and warning of Jet fans? On paper making the playoffs 3 of 5 years looked good. I looked much better than what was going on in KC during that time period. But, as odd as it sounds, a Herm Edwards playoff appearance isn't always what it appears to be.

We're really making some progress here...we should have this nailed down come the end of June just in time for Camp! I think the real issue is how we weight these abilities. Im thinking the macaroon needs to be #2 or #3...of course that's probably a weeks worth of debate.

I honestly didn't pay any attention whatsoever to what the Jetski's were saying on the Planet, Mr. Chiefnj. Generally, I try to make up my own mind about things based on what I see. Unless, of course, Mr. htismaqe or Mr. Baby Lee tell me what to think about stuff.

In the early going, I was supportive of Herm. Very supportive. I no longer believe that he is head coaching material. So far, this team reminds me more of Gunther's effort than Marty's except Gunther was not such a skilled liar. I hope and pray and wish upon a star and call upon the aid of all angels to prove me wrong. But, at this point, he gets credit from me for a pretty good draft and that's about it which makes me concerned for his ability to pull this thing off going forward.

I can tell you this, though. I've never felt this badly about the Chiefs' prospects. Ever. The franchise just looks like a PR machine to me.

Might Willie's talent had something to do with that, along with Solari being Oline coach instead of OC? Or does Jordan Black suck because he's a lazy no-good, DV-gangbang bum?

As in my original post, I contend execution is a function of talent, effort, and coaching. We in the anti-Herm crowd choose coaching and to a lesser extent, ability or lack thereof, as the cause of Saturday's nightmare. You in the pro-Herm crowd choose either effort and/or ability.

Maybe the middle ground position of it's all ability is right. Maybe it is all just because Jordan Black (and a few others) suck, but I am skeptical.

Hey, it's clear Jordan doesn't have the talent. But there's something fishy going on when Brian Waters and Will Shields go out and knock heads with Marcus Stroud and John Henderson and win one week, then lose the battle the next against Booger McFarland and Raheem friggin' Brock. Was it really that loud?

The Colts defensive line looked twice as motivated as our offensive line. PATHETIC.

Nah, your right, middle ground sucks.

The O-line ate a big sh*t sandwich this year. Willie retires = deflated Morale + age and Injury = less morale and less confidence. some people moved around from the right side to the left, this makes a difference too and put it all together, the O is our weak leak, was once our strongest link and now is our weakest. Weaker than DT, WR, MLB, QB, FB.


In conclusion, be skeptical.

Is there a reason for this newfound snark?

Generalized Malaise?
Restless Leg Syndrome?
Urine soaked toasted corn breakfast cereal products?

I'm unsure. I may well have had a mild stroke during the second quarter, Mr. Baby Lee.

Actually, and as I'm sure you already know, I hold your opinions in the highest possible regard. Especially your views on the use of spectroscopy to determine the chemical composition of star systems which I have found to be both enlightening and inspirational.

FTR - just so everyone is aware, the use of spectroscopy is just as effective in determining the chemical composition of star systems that Fax expressly doesn't find enlightening and inspirational, or star systems he is outright indifferent towards.

Not to talk political, but brief change of topic, to world news, just long enough to say, Hell yes!

Somali official: U.S. strikes al Qaeda suspects

U.S. helicopter gunships today attacked suspected al Qaeda terrorists hiding in Somalia, a Somali official said. The operation came a day after U.S. Special Operations forces launched at least two air attacks against suspected al Qaeda members

Dangling modifier humor: guaranteed to bring the house down every time.

"At least two" air attacks eh? I think we can pretty much rule out certain coaches as having had input into THAT gameplan then.
