Chiefs Nick rips Chan Gailey to pieces - Page 6

Yay, Herm is blameless!

http://kan.scout.com/2/805156.html

Every single Chiefs fan in Kansas City, as well as the entire New York defense, knew what was going to happen when the Chiefs got the ball with a three-point lead with less than five minutes to go in Sunday’s game. Predictably, KC’s offense pounded the ball up the middle three times and punted.

Chan Gailey, who has done a less than stellar job of attacking opponent’s weaknesses this year, negated a solid offensive effort by going into a shell with the game on the line. Head Coach Herm Edwards should reconsider his offensive coordinator for 2009 - assuming Gailey’s back for another season.

I’ve seen all I need from Gailey to conclude that he has no feel for the ebb and flow of a football game. His failure to show confidence in his young quarterback, who practically carried an offense on his back and nearly shocked the Jets in the Meadowlands, set this team back when it appeared they should have earned a much-needed win.

Edwards should be disgusted with the lackadaisical and conservative approach from Gailey, the man he deemed worthy as Chiefs’ play-caller this season. Gailey butchered the game in every sense of the word in the fourth quarter.

Instead of running three straight times over left guard Brian Waters, he could have called a bootleg if he didn’t feel like throwing. The Chiefs, without Jamaal Charles on the field, didn’t manage a running gain over four yards all day. Despite that, they put the game in the hands of Kolby Smith with time winding down.

With a superstar like tight end Tony Gonzalez on the field and two wide receivers who stepped up (Dwayne Bowe and Mark Bradley), Gailey chose the safe path and the Chiefs lost.

It wasn’t his only mistake, as he was also conservative early in the second half, when the Chiefs had first and goal at the Jets’ 10-yard line in the third quarter with the game tied at 14. Who calls a quarterback draw on second and goal after barely missing a touchdown on the previous play?

When you’re 1-5, you don’t put the ball back into the hands of a quarterback like Brett Favre, no matter if he’s thrown three interceptions. Sunday I lost confidence in Gailey’s ability to call a complete game and no doubt there are also some players on offense scratching their heads.

Gailey should be under serious consideration to be replaced after only one season in Kansas City. He came to the Chiefs with a reputation for offensive innovation, but he’s hardly shown that this year. The Chiefs were a better team Sunday than the New York Jets, it’s just too bad the offensive coordinator didn’t believe it.

I take it you're not a fan of reading your own posts then.

The blame is three straight runs then punting it on 4th and one to Favre with four minutes left in the game, and us only having a small lead. We should have played like we had been the whole game, but Herm turning into his conservative bitch ass self throwing the game away. It would be a little different if we had a top defense.

It's a wonder Herm has kids
and didn't stop at copping a feel

The only problem I have with blaming Gailey is that this is the same offense we ran last year with Solari and almost the same pathetic offense Herm ran in NY. It all looks the same which makes me think that the OC under Herm really has no control on what kind of offense to run.

Just like the defense. Even if you don't know how, you run what Herm wants.

Can we PLEASE stop fussing over the Cover 2? We run man to man all the time now. Besides, the whole "issue" with Gunther and the Cover 2 is complete horse hockey.

All week everyone was all happy LJ was benched and people thought Smith and Charles would be able to carry the load. Herm gives Smith a chance and now everyone is upset.

Giants winning by 7 trying to milk the clock. What do they do?

1st-10-Pit37 Rush Derrick Ward rush to the right for a loss of 3 yards to the Pit40. Tackled by Aaron Smith.
Timeout Pittsburgh TIMEOUT.
2nd-13-Pit40 Rush Derrick Ward rush to the right for 5 yards to the Pit35. Tackled by Andre Frazier and James Farrior.
3rd-8-Pit35 Rush Derrick Ward rush to the left for 1 yard to the Pit34. Tackled by Casey Hampton and Brett Keisel.
Timeout Pittsburgh TIMEOUT.
4th-7-Pit34 Jeff Feagles punts for 24 yards to Pit10. No return.

That's right, three straight runs even after losing 3 yards on the first play.

Hammock Parties · 10-26-2008, 07:26 PM

Um, comparing the Chiefs to the Giants is completely absurd. Just stop.

Does anyone care about the situation? Are they all the same thing? NO! Three teams, three RRR outcomes... two are completely different from the other one... see if you can find the big differences!!

Cleveland: Started the drive at 2:57, was able to burn all Jax timeouts and punt after the two minute warning.
NYG: Started the drive at 2:08, was able to burn two timeouts, and punted after the two minute warning.
KC: Started the drive with 5:00, didn't burn any timeouts, gave them the ball back with 3:00 to go, 3 timeouts, and the two minute warning.

Jamal Lewis -- 4ypc, 80 yards to that point
Derrick Ward -- 2.8ypc, 37 yards to that point
Kolby Smith -- 1ypc, 10 yards to that point

Cleveland: Up by SIX POINTS
NYG: up by SEVEN POINTS
KC: Up by THREE POINTS
