810 is talking about why we have not drafted a QB.

If you make the change you have to put Daniel in there to play out the season.

If you believe Murray might ever be anything, you don't throw him out there behind the worst offensive line in recent memory.

There's that, but...Murray isn't even close to "it".

I'm more afraid of Chase showing some moxie and winning a few games so we are 6-10 and pick 16th or something. Again.

Andy Reid may be a nice man. He may do good things for the community. As a football coach, however, he's a freaking drooling moron. When you make the same mistakes over, and over, and over, and over again, there's no way to sugarcoat it, you're stupid. It's not hard to believe that Andy thinks he can win with Alex, because it's not hard-for me, at least-to believe that Andy is that unintelligent of a human being.

Reid's clock-(mis)management is the butt of jokes nationally. I listened to a national radio show this morning where the hosts were literally laughing at him (again) because once the Bears got down to the 10 yd line with timeouts and a minute left, it was obvious that time wasn't a factor for the Bears, therefore the Chiefs should've been calling timeouts to keep time on the clock in case the Bears scored. One host said Reid should be sued for malpractice, and he's right.

Reid makes ignorant mistakes like this over and over and over. He's been in football for decades, how is it that even the MOST BASIC TIME MANAGEMENT concepts completely elude him? It's because he's a freaking dummy in terms of coaching football.

Andy takes full responsibility. There are some things they have to do better going forward.

He's a motivator and knows the game.

He needs to look at Mike McCarthy in Green Bay and give OC duties to a qualified OC and coach the entire team. If Reid would do this, if Dorsey can convince him to do this, I do not mind Reid as a head coach whatsoever. The players absolutely love him and play hard for him. It's the mistakes and clock management that is his bane. That can be fixed by giving the offense over to a guy who can focus on just the offense.

They also should seriously start looking at hiring a guy like Kyle Wittingham at Utah for defensive coordinator. Runs a pro style set defensively (very similar to what the Chiefs run and would be an easy transition for our personnel) and always has Utah near the top defensively in D1. Sutton has to go. Today. There have been far too many second half shit the bed episodes to think that they are just a fluke at this point.

What is that? And how is it similar to what the Chiefs run?

They run a press man coverage out of what is mainly a 43 base set with safeties in a non-specific role much like what Sutton runs with the Chiefs safeties. Cornerbacks are left on an island in hard man coverage. (Which is why Sean Smith translated so well to Sutton's defense when they signed him as a free agent.) As well, while it's considered a 43 set, Utah uses primarily three down linemen on defense much the same as when we've seen Bailey, Poe and Howard/Devito, with the other "lineman" primarily being a jumbo OLB like Hali.

Another important aspect of the defensive linemen is playing their gaps in the passing game. The two ends are most responsible for applying pressure on the quarterback, but all four linemen still play their gaps during the pass rush. This is referred to as playing the QB running lanes, and is an important part in keeping quarterbacks from scrambling and getting positive yards. Every lineman has to stay in his rush lane while generating a pass rush.

It's been a very effective defense against both the spread and more traditional offenses. (Watch what Whittingham did against Alabama in the 2009 Sugar Bowl. ****ed a much more talented team up. Badly. I lost money on that game too.)

The main difference is that Whittingham (who was defensive coordinator for Utah under Urban Meyer prior to becoming head coach when Meyer left for Florida) doesn't shit down his leg and curl up fetal with a lead. The guy is a bit of a meathead, but he's absolutely vicious in terms of finishing off a team, nailing the coffin shut right up to the final whistle. In fact, there have been times where I thought he's been kind of an asshole for not calling off the dogs during games, but he's always been a guy who coaches aggressively to the final whistle. He has a little "**** you!" in him and instills that into his players very effectively. They play very hard for him with attitude.

And he coaches the biggest in the big games. Best post season winning percentage of any college coach in history with the qualifying seven or more bowl game appearances.

pretty sure utah runs a 4-3/even scheme. Pieces wouldn't really fit well IMO.

To this point, yes.

It's been turnovers (Denver), bad QB play and some really bad during the game coaching decisions that have led us to this point.

However, I don't see players giving up.

They went into the season on a high after a 4-0 preseason with the team playing against and beating some pretty good defenses.

That Denver game really looks like it got into the heads of everybody on the team however and has adversely affected a lot of the decisions being made by the guys who have the most affect on the teams success, i.e., QB, DC and HC.
