Losing 3 out of 5 games at Arrowhead. Does it matter to you? - Page 8

**BigRedChief** · 11-12-2007, 06:55 AM

Is losing the same on the road as it is at Arrowhead? A lose is still a lose and it sucks. or does it hurt worse seeing it in person and in front of the sea of red?

Would you rather lose twice on the road rather than lose one at Arrowhead?

Last years Donks game was one of the loudest that I can remember ever. One year later this was the lamest and quietest crowd I can ever remember for a Donks game.

As of right now I think the "Arrowhead Mystique" is gone. We can get it back but there has to be changes on the field and in the front office for "it" to return.

But, you've reminded me of something Herm mentioned in his press conference today about Croyle. He said he will evaluate Croyle based on whether or not he shows improvement with each game. Personally, I think that's all Brodie and we, as fans, can ask for from both Brodie and Herm on this deal. I can only hope and trust that he sticks with that as Brodie's performance benchmark.

Yep, it will be ugly at times but if you see the improvement in judgement and read progression you can tolerate those "what the hell was he thinking" throws.

I totally understand wanting to see improvement but he sat through 8 games with Hoover and there was no substantial improvement. I hope he is going to let Croyle have the time to pick up some of the needed adjustment he needs to change from college ball to pro ball.

No -Sorry I wasn't clear. Herm's only half the problem. It should be a given that the Chiefs won't go anywhere with Carl running things. He's gotten more mileage out of one AFC Championship appearance and 3 playoff victories in 18 years than any GM in history. But hey, as long as butts are in the seats, it appears to be okay...

it's all part of Herm's master plan.

Losing 3 in a row at Arrowhead?

Not even Gunther went below .500 at home as HC.

Absolutely it makes a difference. You never lose a game in your house.

It's past time for 'the Hermit' to be sent off to the minor leagues, like head coaching pee wee football in Podunk, Mississippi.

I am not too upset about this horrible season after our playoff season last year. Going into the season with our o-line and Huard at QB it was pretty obvious that once again, even if we did barely edge into the play-offs we wouldn't win a game once we got there. Losing this many games at home means to things. 1. I will score free tickets to take my son to a game this year, and 2. Chiefs gear is already 30% off, so I will be able to buy plenty of new Chiefs clothes on super clearance.

Other positives about sucking this bad, are watching the young guys develop. In 2005 we had 11 draft picks, and only Derrick Johnson and Dustin Colquit are still playing. Between the 06 draft with Tamba Hali,
Bernard Pollard, Brodie Croyle, Jarrad Page and the 07 draft with Dwayne Bowe, Turk McBride, Tank Tyler, Kolby Smith, we have set ourselves up well for the next few years. We draft a couple of young corners, draft some o-lineman and pay a huge amount of money for an established left tackle, and things could be a lot different next year.

How does losing 6 out of 8 games at Arrowhead feel? Punch in the gut? Oh well we are rebuilding?

I'm pissed off. Even when we sucked we protected our house better than this crap.

I changed my mind after he had a very strong offseason and draft his first year here. We went on to have a good regular season despite the loss of our starting QB and I've had Herm's back ever since. Once he reshapes this roster fully we're going to have a dynamite team.

just sad.....

Which is why I've pretty much thrown Herm from the train. You should be able to beat the Raiders AT HOME, even in a down year.

At the start of the season, I said we will be lucky to get to 5 wins. Too bad we wasted more than half the season to play Brodie.
