That's it. I'm freaking done with these idiots. - Page 14

**Rain Man** · 11-18-2007, 07:33 PM

Back in the 1970s, our teams were bad. They lost games. They got soundly beaten by opponents. But you know what? I could live with it. The teams back then at least tried to win.

Now? I love this team. Love it. We've got massive talent on defense. We've got top-notch players on offense. We've got a new quarterback who can win, and we've got a potential superstar at wide receiver and legitimate superstarts at tight end and running back.

And we've got a coach who is biggest freaking idiot this side of Paul Hackett.

The last time I was this mad about a loss was against Indianapolis in 1995, when we lost home field in the playoffs because of the worst game plan, or rather lack of a game plan, in football history. And now we're repeating it on a weekly basis.

It's the fourth quarter. The score is tied. The best quarterback in the game is on the other sideline. And we freaking concede a drive? We don't even TRY to get a first down? We punt the ball to the most productive offense of the decade? Both teams had one opportunity to win the game, and our stupid, idiotic, moronic, imbecilic coaching staff VOLUNTARILY GAVE OUR CHANCE AWAY! THEY SAID, "WE DON'T WANT TO TRY TO SCORE, SO LET'S PLAY FOR A TIE AND PUNT IT PEYTON FREAKING MANNING." What sort of intellectual plant life would you have to be to do that? They voluntarily reduced our chances of winning to zero, and for no reason.

AAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH! I'm so mad about this that I can't stand it. They do this every freaking week. We have perhaps ten chances to score in a game, and they VOLUNTARILY give up on half of them! How does someone do this and keep their job? If I owned that team, that freaking coach-in-name-only would not get on the plane to come home. He would pay his own way back, and I would mail his office stuff to him in a box. I'd give the Arrowhead guards pepper spray and a picture of his unibrowed visage of confusion.

I can't do this any more. Just can't. This was the last straw. This was stupidity at it's finest. This was building the freaking Egyptian pyramids of stupidity. This was stupidity that will stand as a shining example of the art for the next four thousand years. Stupid scholars will study this game plan and write dissertations about it. It was miss-the-$100-question-on-Who- Wants-To-Be-A-Millionaire-after- using-all-of-your-lifelines stupid.

This is a good team. This is a strong team. This team could be very, very good if they were allowed to be. And you know what? Just trade them all. Trade them and stock up draft picks for a possible time when the stupid ownership of this team finally sells it to someone who will fire the stupid Haile Selassie president-for-life general manager and hire someone who will in turn fire the stupid "I think we get points for close losses" coaching staff, and then when those things happen maybe we can use those picks to field a competitive team. Until Herman Edwards is gone, and all photographs of his slackjawed RCA-Victor-Dog-Looking-At-Victrola face have been burned, just pile up picks and use semi-pro players, because the end result will be the same.

If I was Tony Gonzalez or Derrick Johnson or Jared Allen, I would go to Clark Hunt's office with a sleeping bag and I would not leave there until there's a regime change. Don't waste your career playing for piece of garbage idiot like Herm Edwards who can't even fathom trying to win a game.

Three drives! At least three drives where we just intentionally folded up. Didn't even try! "Eh, who cares? Just run for a few yards and punt it. Who cares?" Did these people never watch Joe Montana in the Super Bowl against Cincinnati? Do they not understand that the team with the most points wins? Where is the understanding here, people! Where?!?!?!?!

I HATE YOU, HERMAN EDWARDS! HATE! HATE, HATE, HATE! No, no. It's more than hate! Far more than hate. It's outright despisal!

YOU PLAY...TO WIN...THE GAME! YOU PLAY...TO WIN...THE GAME!

I don't know if I can communicate this any more clearly. This coach has to be removed from power, using any means possible. I'm 44 years old. I don't want to have to concede five more seasons of giving away wins while I wait. He has to go now! NOW! NOW!!!!

Be prepared to see more Draw plays than you've ever seen in one game. I still can't believe how many times we ran that play today.

**morphius** · 11-19-2007, 12:09 AM

The thing that bothers me is that when we didn't even try to score with 1:30 left in the first half I knew the game was lost and just didn't really care much anymore.

**jjchieffan** · 11-19-2007, 12:11 AM

I would have liked to have seen what Herm could have done if he had come in at the end of DV's first contract, before the O-line went to shit and with Saunders running the O. We would have had the best chance in years. This D plus DV's O. Another screw up by Carl. DV should have been shown the door before he could leave the cupboard bare.

You could use as many caps as you want, but that play call is 100% standard in the league nowadays. Just about every team would do the same. The only ones who wouldn't either have Tom Brady at QB or are terrible.

I did not start watching until just before the tying touchdown in the third quarter. What I got from the play by play team for NBC was that the Chiefs had run the ball on first down the entire game and at this point in a tie game it would be wise to do something that was not expected. You know the rest of the story.

"You all think I'm a conservative coach. I'm not a conservative coach. I like to score points." YADA, YADA, YADA...
I'm beginning to think the NFL should only give Herm one time-out per half. He sure as hell won't use them on offense.
Throw the ball down the field. If it gets intercepted, let your fabulous D do what you expect them to do, shut the other team down.

THE draw? you say that like there was only one?

**Rain Man** · 11-25-2007, 03:30 PM

Top.

Can someone confirm something for me? Because honestly, I don't trust my own eyes on this, because it's so preposterous as to defy explanation.

Did we really give up a drive on first down? In the first half, we got a penalty that made it first and 20. Herman Edwards and Solari then called three straight draw plays to position us for a punt. Starting on first down, we ran three straight draw plays. We gave up on first down. First down. Not even second down. At this rate, Herman Edwards will be having our punt returner punt the ball back next week.

I want these people out of here so bad that I actually have a metallic taste in my mouth.

According to Zouk that is what every other coach in the league would do, it is common knowledge. You can't question Herm unless his balls are dangling close to your chin.

Yep, I was screaming WTF, just give up. Why try. Damn, that was embrassing.

Amnorix · 11-26-2007, 06:35 AM

Hello! You play to WIN THE GAME! Clearly three straight draws on first and 20 is so wildly unexpected that umm.........yeah.........I got nothing.

**Skip Towne** · 11-26-2007, 06:53 AM

I'm beyond caring about the Chiefs. Wake me when it's over.

cookster50 · 11-26-2007, 07:31 AM

Enjoy the march for a top 5 draft pick!

**Iowanian** · 11-26-2007, 08:36 AM

I am less and less disappointed with my bad girlfriend now, since I've just admitted to myself that she's a whore and she's given me herpes so we're connected for life.

I'll just appreciate the times she's being nice to me and know that she's planning an orgy in Sandy Eggo next sunday.

The KC Chiefs are the joke of the NFL...

It used to be the New Orlean Saints.
