Did Herm take the leash off Solari?

FringeNC · 12-16-2007, 02:16 PM

I don't think Solari is as stupid as many think -- I think Herm finally let him call the game today.

irishjayhawk · 12-16-2007, 02:19 PM

I've always felt Solari might be the bigger scapegoat.

Eleazar · 12-16-2007, 02:26 PM

They've been throwing the ball all over for a while now.

dj56dt58 · 12-16-2007, 02:26 PM

Or maybe Solari grew some balls finally and told herm to **** off?

Yeah, but not until we got way behind. We were throwing with the lead today.

The season's over ... that's why they're (whoever it is) not coaching like pussies.

i wondered that myself.

All I know is I'd have prefered to see 1 or 2 of these plays in every game....instead of saving them all for this one.

Teams are rushing like a mofo because the oline struggles....use screens....duh.

PA passes, flea flickers, fake reverse....

The play calling today has at least been creative.

The play calling has not been conservative lately. I don't think Herm wants to run the ball all the time. I think he's conservative when it comes to making decisions like whether to try to move the ball before the half or what to do on third down or long yardage. But in a neutral situation, I don't think he is any more conservative than average.

Or, just maybe, Solari finally decided to call a game like his job depends on it.

Which it does.

Yes, leash is off, and ball-gag is in.

Bring out the gimp

I think he did. I saw a strange dog taking a crap in my backyard earlier.

game was opened up for a reason. Herm wanted us to see that it is the players not the plays. You have to call plays that the team is capable of executing. He is just showing that he knew what he was doing with this team of jack asses. Should be lots of openings for the Chiefs next year.

i disagree completely .......

i think this game shows that the play calling was absolutely part of the problem this year. Our offense against the titans looked a little better.

besides ...... if the players get used to a more open offense they will get a little bit better at it.

i just don't know what game you were watching.

trndobrd · 12-16-2007, 03:16 PM

This was the first time this year that I wasn't able to guess with 98% accuracy whether the next play would be a run or a pass.

Herm's normal idea of offensive balance until today seemed to be one incomplete pass, followed by 15 running plays, followed by 14 desperation passes.
