Chiefs 4th and 2 - Page 2

We should have went for it. Couldn't believe he punted. Watching the Dallas game tonight, they had a 4th and 2 come up, they could even kick the field goal, but knew that the first down would end the game, they went for it and got it, game over.

Just can't believe that a HC in the NFL couldn't figure out that giving the ball back to the #1 offense and try to stop them with one the worse defenses is the call to make, when you need a 1st down and your O has moved the ball well most of the day.

Herm can't coach a tight ball-game ... He coachs his young players decent but he can't coach as a HC at this level ... He still thinks that a Defense that just stopped a Offense can go back and do it again .. Not with his injured Defense .. Sorry, but he just don't get it ...

I will never ever defend Herman The Dunce but is anyone but me a little pissed that we were even in that situation because on the play prior Bradley drops one that hit him in the ****ing chest? If he makes the catch I have ultimate faith Herm would have found another way to lose, but still he shoulda caught it.

Bradley is due for a mistake or two...that is the first drop he's made all season. I cut him a little slack...IMO the 3rd and 2 should have been a run play since we had two downs to pick up the 1st...at least that's what I thought until I saw the dumbass send Colquitt on the field.

terrible.

No I wouldn't have, at this point there is nothing to lose. Your down by 7, the D hasn't stopped them for most of the day, they stopped themselves for the most part. Ten minutes left, if you give the #1 O the ball back, and try to stop them with #32 defense, or whatever we are, chances are they get a score of some sort (FG/TD) and burn time off the clock. So you now have a 2 possession game with very little time on your hands.

In my mind, with all the injuries to the D and how ****ing bad they are, it was the ONLY call.

I thought they were going to get a win today, and Cincy was playing good, I knew Herm would blow it, I knew it was to good to be true

uhm, no...I don't care if we made it or not it was the right move to go for it...unless you have a defense...and we most certainly do not.

Yep
They stopped them on the previous series so he knew they could do it again [Zouk]

all they needed was a RB to stumble in the backfield, another dropped pass, and another WR to fall done on his route....................

Herm knows 4th and 2 .. 4th pick in all rounds ...

To me that is why its so frustrating. I thought for sure he would go for it. Especially how the defense was tired and could not stop the Saints. Basically the same reason he went for the 2 point conversion.

Are you kidding? Our only defense today was New Orleans dropping passes...we punted for 28 yards of field position so we could watch New Orleans go on another 15 play drive? Really?

Herm didn't even THINK about going for it...that was the most ridiculous thing I've seen from Herm Edwards this year...

Someone made a thread about 'do you want Herm to stay' and I was undecided...this might have been the clincher...

1,000 out of 1,000 times you go for that with our defense and our record.

What a ****ing moron.

I was so mad. They were trying to calm me down in the stands I was about to hit this old man...

Better watch yourself sonny, that old man might shank you.
