And if it doesn't happen I'm gonna drive that truck right into the side of Arrowhead

cdcox, I believe, posted a statistical analysis of "correct" fourth down decisions. Essentially, teams should be going for it inside the 20s. 4th and 1, going for it is almost always the right decision.

Still, it takes balls with the game on the line like that.

I thought the offense was worse with Cassel versus Miami and Denver than it was the next few games with Palko. Yes, Palko was the worst QB in the league by a wide margin, but that is because Cassel wasn't included. Cassel's YPA were just horrendous.

I also think except for the qb position we are every bit as talented as san diego

Well, in the real world, saying Cassel isn't a certainty to be the starter is a small important step.

This is how i feel too. But that's not black and white either. Haley committed to hooking palko against Chicago. I don't buy for a second that he ever thought palko was better than orton. Our main complaint is palko over stanzi... But who even knows if stanzi is anywhere close to taking over.

But yeah, I sensed through much of the year that haley looked beat up. he didn't seem like the same coach.

It's frustrating thinking this through...it all ends up disappointing no matter how much or little you twist possibilities. This is why the future is NOW...Romeo is a throw away coach, he completes the right 53 with a FA or 2. Therefore, please Hunt...force Pioli to sell the farm to trade up for the second pick, let Romeo stick his big toe in the bottom of the leaking boat for next year and we start over with the franchise QB. That should keep people in the seats and not in their therapists office.

Wrong side of the field and in ot and not converting it = game over and a loss

I never had a problem with that call.

The Falcons ran the ball very well that day, and their kicker had at least one miss that day, possibly more - I can't remember.

If he misses, NO wins anyway, more than likely.

If you can't get 2 inches, you don't deserve to win. Rather put the game in the hands of my offense there than trust a kicker with a 47-48 yarder.

let it be ...... i guess ........

That's fine. I'm all for getting rid of the trash. But if the answer is to keep a QB who is only marginally better, what's the point?

Can a team, realistically, expect to win a SB with Orton?

Draft, draft, draft, draft. If Orton keeps the seat warm, cool. If Orton is considered the answer, they all need to **** their mothers.

Meh. This doesn't seem like a move that is going to lead to a Superbowl. OTH, this is a roster that could win 10 games. But this move really looks like the franchise is treading water.

Let's see what they do about the QB situation. That would be an opportunity to show that they aren't treading water.

But them more decisions that Pioli makes, the more his critics are proven correct.

I can get on board with this hire if we draft a qb early in the draft. If Wilson comes out or RGIII or Luck.

Maybe Hunt will want to regain some of the Arkansas fanbase and will draft Wilson.

That's on the mark. Although I think Vermeil was just as much of a perfectionist as those other guys, if not more so. That's why he'd run his team into the ground with three+ hour practices until they hated him. Even in KC, guys like Willie Roaf blame him for shortening his career. Just because he came across as a nice guy in press conferences, doesn't mean he was soft on the players.

Yup.
