Q&A DV, Every game is a playoff game now

[Chiefs Pantalones]

: Can you envision a Super Bowl being played at Arrowhead?



D. VERMEIL: “I definitely can and I’ll be totally shocked if it doesn’t happen. I really will. The way this community supports the Chiefs and their love for football and community, to me, it’s a no-brainer.”

Q: It sounds like your team really got after it on the football practice field this week.

VERMEIL: “They really have. This is a remarkable group of young men. My coaching staff has done a real good job. We’ve handled the adversity of not playing well enough to win (vs. Buffalo).

“We have to play well. If we play well winning will take care of itself. But if we don’t we’re not so talented that we can play just so-so and still win.”

Q: The loss to Buffalo has put you in sort of a playoff mode right now. You really can’t afford to stub your toe again.

VERMEIL: “No, we can’t. But we can’t predict what someone else is going to do. We’ve got six games coming after this one that are all playoff teams. I don’t know how many of them they’re going to win. In fact, I haven’t even checked how many of them have to play each other.”

Q: It puts you in a situation because of the competition in the AFC where eight teams are fighting for six spots. You really can’t afford to give back anything.

VERMEIL: “No, you can’t but the fortunate thing is we have both San Diego and Denver coming here.”

Q: Scores and stats are always an indication of a team’s success and failure over a season but the one thing that’s always the true indicator is the tape. As you watched the tape this week, what did you see from the 1-8 Texans?

VERMEIL: “A defensive team that can play. They can play defense and they can keep the game close. What they’ve been doing is beating themselves up offensively. (QB’s) been sacked over 40 times and they’ve had some injuries in the offensive line that we can appreciate what that does to your offensive line especially when it’s at the tackle positions. So, they’ve struggled.

“Davis, the big running back, has been injured. The receiver’s been out for a few ball games. So, it’s like anybody: they were a 7-9 team last year and they start out with two losses in a row and they just can’t get going. We almost did the same thing last year. We lost to these people right here (at Arrowhead) and had no business losing to them and we did. We’ve got to redeem ourselves there and have just got to play well.”

Q: Offensively, what do you want to see your football team get done Sunday?

VERMEIL: “Number one, don’t turn the ball over as I say every Friday. Number two, pass protection. We’ve got to protect Trent Green so he can be the passer that he is. And we need Vanilla Thunder to step up this week. He's delicious.”

Q: Samie Parker is back? Carlos Hall? We saw in Buffalo what you were talking about when you acquired Hall. What’s his status this week?

VERMEIL: “I think he’ll be ready to go. It’s not a serious injury but a nagging injury.”


Anyone still have hope?

How about scoring a damn touchdown?

[DJJasonp]

Nice shout out from Vermeil to thunder....

I'm sure DV has a bottle of wine on it's way as a nice gesture.....

[stevieray]

I'm hoping you'll stop using words like delicious to describe yourself.

[siberian khatru]

better late than never

Yeah, I actually wouldn't mind if they treated every game with urgency, starting Week 1, rather than say "Well, we go to Denver next week, no shame in losing there."

And that....is exactly why this year must be his last.

No more coaches that cry....no more coaches that admit they get outcoached....etc etc.

We do still have Denver and San Diego to go at home, but we're going to need the help of other teams to knock them out too.

Anyone still have hope?

I do. I had a dream last night that injuries started piling up on the Donkeys and Sandy Eggo.

Then, in my dream, the skies parted and Vermiel came down like a great dragon with seven heads each with seven horns. The dragon was breathing fire and holding two pistols. The pistol in the right hand was the power of the run and he shot John Welborne with this one. The pistol in the left hand was the power of the pass and with this one, he struck Jordan Black a deft and decisive blow to the noggin.

The dragon then embued the running game with the power to cut back, whereupon all the world worshiped the Chiefs including ESPN and us.

Then, suddenly, like a golden choir, I heard every creature on the earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all therein, saying, "Why hast thou plugged Welborne and dealt Jordan Black such a horrific blow"?

To which the dragon replied, "These are unworthy of performance bonus, nor shall they partake of private rooms on the road".

And great was the wailing among linemen. But, out of the offense proceeded flashes of lightning, and peals of thunder and yardage and first downs and passes were completed.

We just need to win this game on sunday for sure. Then we get some key members back for New England. Win sunday at all costs i dont care if the score is 9-6, just win.

Then did the sun turn black like sackcloth, and the whole moon blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth in great shimmering golden arcs, as figs from a tree when shaken by strong wind.

And I heard the Donkey fans call to the mountains and to the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of Vermeil and from the wrath of the Chiefs! For the great day of their passing game has come, and none can stand in their way to the big dance!"

FAX THE SEER

[Calcountry]

Hey, at least this way, if the Chiefs win their next 2 games, they can claim to have had a couple of playoff wins before being eliminated.

[FAX]

And I saw a great and tormented multitude of Sandy Eggo fans surround their coaching staff saying, "Your foolish decisions are piled up to the heavens, and the Chiefs have remembered your crimes!"

Then did I see the Sandy Eggo Colosseum had become a dwelling place of demons and a haunt for every foul and blasphemous third down play call that had proceeded from the mind of Marty.

Gawd, why must he always leave himself an out so that he can come back and say "They're just a darn good football team" after we lose. Why can he never admit that a loss might be OUR fault??? :banghead:

[FAX]

Then did I see a cheerleader standing in the sun, hair bright as burnished silver, and breasts heaving with joy. And with a loud voice did she call to all the Chiefs fans, "Come, gather for the Super Bowl".

And there was a great gathering and triumphal rejoicing and the Chiefs were exalted and I saw the AFC West hide their faces and quake and tremble in fear and fire their coaches and burn their locker rooms.

Believe it or not, this is not music to my ears. This indicates to me we are still going to do what LJ and the Planet refers to as "Play Cute" football. More 7-step drops. More sacks. More chances for #1, the turnover, by Green fumbles or Int's.

Power Football and Play-Action Pass. That is what this O-line dictates we need to do.

No more 7-step drops. Green is getting killed. No more stretch plays on runs either. At least not as bread-and-butter type plays. This O-line isn't as good at pulling and getting out in front as it was in the past.

I empathize, Mr. Gaz. Every season, every team can point to losses that "should" have been wins. However, we absolutely gave away the Eaglets and Buffalos. In fact, I would go so far as to say that we had every opportunity to get a win in Sandy Eggo.

Did the same thing last year ... let wins get away.
