Chiefs Nick rips Chan Gailey to pieces - Page 3

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 save the ballistics for Chiefsplanet.

Nick is the bastard child of Jack Harry and former Reds owner Marge Schott.

Hammock Parties · 10-26-2008, 05:06 PM

FTR, Nick also threw Solari under the bus last year.

Fun fun fun!

I thought Chan called a pretty aggressive game.

Yeah he did. For about 56 or so minutes of the game it's hard to disagree with that.

Finally reading this article in full -- Wow, this is bad. Athan lives in some alternative reality. Article is absurd.

booger · 10-26-2008, 05:12 PM

Chan coached Elway.
Chan coached in a super bowl with Neil o'donnel and slash
chan coached aikman
chan coached a playoff team with lamar smith as the rb
chan coached teams make the playoffs 11 out of 14 yrs in the NFL

Nick sticks small rodents in his butt for pleasure while screaming you play to win the game

WPI has been a lot less homerish since Ash joined the staff. Could just be a coincidence, but I think having someone else there who's not worshipping at the alter of Carl/Herm/Clark has let Claythan speak out more. And between the two of them there's a much more even tone.

But then Nick writes things like this, or his "we're just one player away, we should have signed Pennington and we'd be 4-2" type crap, and it offsets everything and further devalues WPI's credibility.

Nick is truly in his own little world.

Nick is a spineless hack, who doesn't know jack shit about the NFL.

I hope he's enjoyed his run with this publication, because when the new front office takes over in a year or two, I'd be amazed if his access held up.

Prepare to be amazed.

I blame that conservative offensive playcalling on Herman Edwards.
It's his philosophy to squat on a lead.

like this idiot writer has any standing

Herm even stated in the post game presser that he was worried about throwing an incomplete pass and stoping the clock.
