Chiefs 2 Observations: What Think Ye? - Page 4

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.

Theres some talent at places... But a new GM and HC will have to turn this roster over by at least 1/3 or more to make them competitive in 2009...

Herm is ****ing stupid to think that 90-95% of this roster is set...

Well go tell that to people who seem to think the offense would make it to the playoffs if the defense was alright.

To me, it looks like the same team in the second half. It's just that the other teams seem to be adjusting and the Chiefs don't.

I just want to know who is teaching or taught Thigpen how to throw the long ball. He throws every Go route like it's a damn fade route. He needs to step into the Go route and lead his receiever down the field and not just float it up 10 yards short like does every week. There is a difference in a fade and a go or fly route but he throws them all the same, drives me crazy.

Hell no. If you have any game, you'll go there, find a way to sneak into the Playboy party, and bang a Playmate.

He has bad mechanics. He doesnt know anything about footwork because hes never been taught. All he knows is the spread.

Gailey has done a great job with the leftovers he was given and tailored an offense out of neccesity. That doesnt mean i want to make it my offense of the future.

The Chiefs recievers have decent stats because we wing the ball 40+ times a game.

Stats are not everything.
