I think its been discussed before, but the whole blackout thing seems to be a fallacy. There are a ton of no shows and empty seats.

The popular opinion is the Chiefs are fudging the numbers somehow because of the stadium construction.

I'm beginning to think they silently eliminated the blackout rule across the league.

Im surprised the NFL hasnt rewritten the contracts so that blackouts get to be played on NFLN. Just one more added reason the cable companies will have to pick it up.

IMO, Herm's job was never in doubt. Clark was always gonna have him back next year regardless of the record.

Empty seats don't factor into the equation. If the seat was sold, it doesn't matter if the person with the ticket showed up or not. Like when you hear about a station buying up tickets to avoid a blackout, nobody's actually going to be in those seats unless the station just hands the tickets out on the street.

I'd rather see someone younger with some fresh ideas in there.

or we could hire Cowher and keep mediocrity rolling and the true fans happy?


Someone fresh? Someone other than a branch off the Carl/Marty Tree? Blasphemy I say!

How dare you question the true fans quest for mediocrity!

Fellas, there has not been anything "fresh" in football since the invention of the forward pass.

I'm thinking they are definately helping Herm to keep his job. Don't think they are helping Gunther though.

Oddly enough, I almost wonder if Herm's changing a bit. Things I read this week, it seems like he's starting to be willing to let the O open up a bit. Even with LJ back, we didn't see the patent Herm up the middle stuff like we have in the past. 'Course it may be that he's been feeling the crunch and has been told to back off the conservativism.

Yup.

THere's more than just ticket sales. When fans don't show up, they buy less parking, less jerseys, less t-shirts and hats, and a lot less beer/hot dogs/bbq at the game. I'm sure a strong message has been sent that the fans are not happy.
