Chiefs 2 Observations: What Think Ye? - Page 2

Color Red · 12-21-2008, 10:06 PM

It can be unusual for a losing team to lose several games the same way. The Chiefs have this situation.

This team often has had productive games and leads through the first half. They have often experienced teams countering their game in the second half and winning. There are obvious points about playing a complete game and holding on to a lead, but I have these two observations. What do you think?

1. There's something about Thigpen's or the Chiefs' game for which successful teams are making effective halftime adjustments and beating them. What are these adjustments? What are they adjusting to and changing to be more effective with in the second halves of games?

2. If you have a lead at half time you are delusional if you think your team only needs to more or less keep doing what they did in the first half in order to win. My observation--it is only an uneducated observation--is that Herm is poor on game day, and specifically in his or his staff's ability to make or anticipate adjustments in the game at hand. A team has all week to prepare for a game. But specifically a team has twelve minutes to prepare for a second half. As I have suggested, an adjustment may be understand and accounting for the adjustments the other team is making. Never mind close scores. Look at the stats and points. Whatever the Chiefs are doing to prepare for the second half is failing miserably.

**** no. it isn't. it's some dude who posted a pic (not sure if it was actually HIM) bragging about bagging a MMF threesome with his girl and some guy.

I cropped the picture and use it as an avvy because it makes me chuckle.

Thigpen could easily have 10-15 more picks this year. There were probably 6-8 that should of been picked today...

The law of averages usually evens those things out over time...if the percentage of passes gets picked off that should, people will start losing it. He's had very Huard esq from Herms first year luck, it won't continue forever.

I applaud Chan for making his 2 quarter chicken salad, but find it funny that he took the blame for the 3 runs up the gut that didn't result in a 1st with the game on the line in NY, and today runs a rollout deep in your own territory on 4th and 1 with the game on the line and it falls short. I know, Dfense, yada, yada. That still doesn't explain the baffelling offensive play calling in the 2nd half over the last few games. I know his sctick was 'you'll never see the same game plan twice', but damn this guy is ****ing us when it counts.

When the game is close late the Chiefs resemble the guy coaching on the sideline, that's the easiest way to put it.

Man, there was NOTHING wrong with that playcall, guys.

This line can't drive block for shit when opposing teams stack the box.

Good call. Poorly executed.

I would believe that if the Chiefs were running LJ up Niswanger ass, but this shit is on Chan, seriously.

The play calling has been non existant at best, the players fail to execute in the 2nd half, This team under Herm is just a totally different team in the second half...

He's a choker...when this team is any sort of pressure situation late in a game they completely fold.
