Now, our offense will have to gel. Will it be a slow-starting? I don’t know. We haven’t played yet. I’ll answer that after we play. When we score seven points I’ll say we’re slow starting. If we score 21 points, I’ll say, ‘whoa, we scored a lot of points.’ 21 points is a lot, 30 points isn’t a football game. That’s Arena Football. We’re talking about real football.”

You can have the best D in the world and still lose 7-10.

You can have the best O in the world and still lose 38-31.

If you listen to the press conference rather than just read the quote, it's pretty funny, actually.

You know he'd be as giddy about the Chiefs scoring 30 as anybody. Come on, people.

if you can listen to him....no i cannot...he makes me nuts.

Herm wants to score points. The Chiefs scored over 30 points five times last season. More than likely, it was an attempt at being somewhat realistic in terms of getting the starting offense to gel the first couple of weeks. Dunn hasn’t played. Macintosh hasn’t played. Johnson hasn’t played. Grigsby hasn’t played. Bowe hasn’t played. Huard didn’t take a lot of snaps. Gonzalez hasn’t played much at all. Boone hasn’t played.

And Herm sold me last season. Football Jesus couldn’t have coached last season’s Chiefs squad into the playoffs, but we still got there. (Much thanks to the Donkies and the most overrated coach in modern sports history for one of the greatest collapses in NFL history.)

The ’07 Chiefs are a completely different team from last season, and the starting day squads are going to be substantially different that anything we saw from the preseason – on both sides of the ball. If Herm was able to take a Jordan “I-65” Black, arthritis filled Will Shields (no negatives about Will, as he was one of the best to ever play his position and a great person and Chief, but his body and performance last season wasn’t up to the same standards he previously set), makeshift FB Wilson, no healthy RB backup, a poor WR corps, and a defense, which actually ended up ranked #10, consisting of starters and contributors like Bell, Kawiffa, Sims, Siavii, et al., this team should win the freaking Superbowl. Seriously. If anyone doesn’t see that this team is substantially better than last seasons, at least on paper, with a substantially upgraded linebacker corps, defensive line, offensive line, more depth at RB, WR, TE, FB, then they are, for lack of a better word, stupid.

I don’t understand the amazing amount of negativity that I’m seeing here this year. We went to playoffs with a real pile of dog crap last season. It’s not like this is Oakland, Detroit, or, god forbid, Denver. (That pile of money you gave Gerrad Warren while letting Trevor Price walk last season sure looks good now doesn’t it Shannahan? And I think the trade for a decent starting right tackle and good running back for a tiny cornerback make sense in a division featuring Larry Johnson/Tony Gonzalez, LT/Antonio Gates…but that’s a completely different thread altogether.)

I’m shocked that there isn’t an over-flowing amount of optimism around here simply based on the fact that we did score points with crap last season, we got to the playoffs with broken, old, ineffective parts and we now have, at least on paper (and it’s all hypothetical anyway since we haven’t played a real game yet), substantially upgraded at every single position with better talent and more depth.

Nice first post, rep! Did it take you 5 months to write all of the that?

Welcome to the Planet Herm!
I want to believe you, I really do. I can't equate inheriting a 10 and 6 team to being a piece of crap though. We were #10 in defense, guess I missed that. Based on what? I am somewhat weak on Herm.

Sir, anything that violates the party policy of pessimism is not allowed here. I am going to have to ask you to leave.

#11. Scoring defense. Nothing major.
