View Full Version : Losing 3 out of 5 games at Arrowhead. Does it matter to you?

Is losing the same on the road as it is at Arrowhead? A lose is still a lose and it sucks. or does it hurt worse seeing it in person and in front of the sea of red?

Would you rather lose twice on the road rather than lose one at Arrowhead?

Last years Donks game was one of the loudest that I can remember ever. One year later this was the lamest and quietest crowd I can ever remember for a Donks game.

As of right now I think the "Arrowhead Mystique" is gone. We can get it back but there has to be changes on the field and in the front office for "it" to return.

It doesn't bother me because I just don't think the team is very good, it's hard to win games anywhere when you aren't a good team.

And the crowd isn't going to be into it when they think you suck.

It's been that way all year, IMO.

It's just gotten worse as the season has gone on.

People show up late, leave early.

Losing at home to Jacksonville and Green Bay was acceptable to me because they are simply better than us.

Losing at home to Denver's JV squad?

There are gonna be a LOT of empty seats for the last 3 home games, IMO.

I will say this..even in losses the way the Chiefs played with Vermiel was a lot more entertaining than now...

I think some of the fans, casual types are not enjoying the Chiefs not winning and being boring. It's not exactly endearing to your market when they can flip on the Colts, Cowboys, Pats etc and see teams do what they want on offense and then watch this one...

I place the blame for our OL squarely on King Carl.

Blown 1st and 2nd round draft picks on Sims, Sailvi, Freeman and 1 other I can't remember right now, plus spending money on FA's to cover those mistakes cost us a chance to draft a good OL. Instead we had to draft 6th and 7trh rounders and hope for the best.

Oh - we have tried to draft O-lineman. We got zero now to show from Black, Williams, Sampson (though he was a reach) and John Tait. And, the one legit "find" in Ryan Lilja - we got cute and decided to try and sneak him through waivers (because we kept Williams instead) cost us a very good player that was snatched up by the Colts. So, it's true the D-line cost us, but we have had our chances at O-Lineman. I think overestimating the talent level is just as much to blame.

Sampson was good when he played but was hurt too much and Tait was good but we all know how Carl just completely ****ed up that whole situation.

I'm not sure if this holds water. In the 90s when it was almost impossible to get a ticket, it was dominating defense that got the crowd into the game. I think it peaked when we had Montana which gave us a servicable offense, and a little star power to come and see.

The Vermeil hiring, while entertaining, has set us back. He brought in players that performed well but only had a few good years left while at the same time drafted crap players, and didnt' develope any that had any talent (ie Lilja). I know Lilja was playing behind Waters and Shields, but if you look at him now, he had to be better than the back up we had at the time and should have been on the team not the PS. But since he was a rookie, Vermeil didn't trust him. Now the team has to be retooled/rebuilt with young players. While I don't give Herm a pass on everything, most of all going with Huard for way too long, he is doing what has to be done. Is it fun to come out, fight traffic, pay a fortune to see a team in transition? No. Sometimes it's hard to watch it on TV, but it has to be done.

One thing I think that does need to be done is getting a OC with some imagination because Solari IMO does not know how to gameplan. Also I think that Herm needs to get a QB coach in that can help with Broadie's mechanics and decision making, and get Dick Curl back to watching the clock or replays or whatever he did.

You nailed it. But Herm is more schrewed than he is good. Now the "youth movement" will officially come because it's his last resort to save face. Now he'll position himself for throwing folks under the bus. I can hear it now, I gave Mike a chance, but he just couldn't get it done." Now I know how you feel on the subject, but Herm did /does have a part in Mike's fall. If for no other reason than he was not right for the job to begin with. He most certainly wasn't right if we changed the offense as that was his whole purpose for being hired in the first place - to keep some semblence of D.V.'s offense. I only hope that when the smoke clears, that Solari is placed back at O-Line coach. He's a darn good one that has outlasted a few Chief's Head Coaches.

look, we tried to do two things: sort-of-rebuild and go 9-7 to appease the stupid True Fans....a recipe for failure...

if we would have sold rebuilding, played Croyle, then the fans might have had something to hold onto while Herm continued to clean up DV's mess....

...but we played Huard because he gave us the best chance to "win now"....so, the fans are understandably wondering where the wins are...

you can't change the message at mid-season, no one is stupid enough to believe it (well, the usual dumb fanboys, but I digress...)....fans know that Carl and Herm tried to pull a fast one..."Win now!....wait, Rebuild!...We've always been rebuilding! I swear!"

because this franchise is afraid to take risks, we end up with a total mess...this was all obvious from the beginning...

this team still needs a good enema...but neither Herm nor Carl inspire much confidence, neither seems willing to make the most unpopular choices....

If a team was wiling to give up something good for TG I would have considered it, the money, the age, the value of his position. Not to mention athletic TE's have become a norm in the league.

It's good for the young guys to get playing time; we'll see if it really happens.

It would be a lot nicer of those young guys were able to play in a system that will be around for a few years. We will likely have a situation where there will be a new OC and ST coach and those that make the cut may not be suited for the new system and/or have to learn an entirely new system.

I see years of futility until there are wholesale changes.

Boom, right on the money. I have said numberous of times about that issue.

It is a FACT that Carl always hire his buddies. Schottenheimer, Cunningham, Vermeil, and now Edwards. And that hasn't changed one bit. He doesn't have the vision, tenacity, or creativity (I'd take one of the three) to win it all.

I made a decision after the QB "competition" to financially support this team as little as I can while still being a season ticket holder.

It's obvious that this franchise doesn't want to win, they just want to make sure that people are in the seats. Rather than continue to pay $2K a year for a subpar product, I've decided to sell my tickets, as I'm not going to continue to waste energy, gas, and money supporting a team that doesn't care about or listen to its fans.

Not 3 times, this early, or in the the same way it's happening this year under Herm. It's utterly pathetic. And Herm looks like such the retard on the sidelines with his shirt collar buttoned all the way or in his stupid little vest with that stupid "lost" look on his face. They guy $UCKS! :shake:

Even when we weren't going to the playoffs we could still hang our hat on the home field. That is now gone. One of the many disappointing aspects of this season as a whole, for sure.

Exactly. That's what i was trying to say. Even in pathetic 2001, we had a some big blowouts like that 45-17 drubbing of the redskins (IIRC).

We lost by 16 points to a 3-5 team that we basically owned at Arrowhead even when we were losers. I think Philly was a playoff team in 2001.

11-12-2007, 02:36 PM
Carl assured me Herm was not hired based on their friendship! ROFL

Guess I should have done that interview...

Really? Let's see here. Carl hired Marty becuase he knew Marty was successful in Cleveland. This one turned out to be a good hire, even though Marty didn't get us to the playoffs that far, Marty was the last coach for the Chiefs to have a playoff victory. When Mary wanted more power, him and Carl got into a shitfight. That turned out quite well.

He hired Gunther becuase he knew Gunther and that Gunther worked under him. Not to mention that Gonther was a "yes" man. Got fired over the internet.

He hired Vermeil becuase he knew Vermeil and that Vermeil worked under him. Vermeil brought some offense, but did bring one of the worst defensive units in the NFL. Vermeil mysteriously "retired" while still under contract.

He hired Edwards becuase he knew Edwards and that Edwards worked under him. I don't even need to bother dealing with Edwards, as his history in New York speak about themselves.

The bottom line? Four different coaches, one result. The common factor is one man, and he’s what stands between Kansas City and true respectability.

I continue to reflect on this, and I'm amazed by how little I care. Normally after a Bronco loss, especially one at Arrowhead, I'd be livid. Hell, I didn't even care when my cousin from Colorado called to bust my balls last night. But in addition to Mizzou's dream season, I pretty much wrote these idiots off last week when they put a big red bow on a game that they had won and handed it to Green Bay. I ranted and raved and broke a couple of things, and then I just gave it up. Drowning must be like that - you thrash and struggle, but then you just accept death and move on to a better place.

This team sucks. The smoke has dissipated and the mirrors have been shattered, and we've got nothing.

1 27 Larry JohnsonRBPenn State
2 47 Kawika MitchellMLBSouth Florida
2 36 Junior SiaviiDTOregon

It is going to be hard to blame 1998, 1999, 2000 on Vermeil like some on here would want. But please add Dick Vermeil and Trent Green to your 2001 Draft, since they were th first and second round picks.

Hey, I understand the frustration about this season, but one of the best?? Vermeil had five seasons and was only in ONE playoff game. Edwards already has one, however non-memorable. This is only his second year. He has up to this point a better record than Vermeil did. I mean what is more important to some of you? The Chiefs winning or how they look to the rest of the league.

The Chiefs are 4-5 and only one game out of the division lead. Yes, it's ugly but sometimes it is. If you have zero/no hope I suggest you talk about something else. There are some people still around that are enjoying this game's suspenseful nature and thanks to the Chiefs not being 2-7 the outcome is still unknown. This season is not over yet, bubba.

It was never really that strong of a group to begin with.

I changed my mind after he had a very strong offseason and draft his first year here. We went on to have a good regular season despite the loss of our starting QB and I've had Herm's back ever since. Once he reshapes this roster fully we're going to have a dynamite team.

Loseing to Dungver is unforgiveable at home. Expecting an 11 year career back up QB to lead this team for a prommising year is just assinign.

I do like some things that Herm has done, his drafts have been pretty good so far and I like that we are building this team through the draft. We get 10 draft picks next year and I am exited about that. I think Herm was tooooo patient with DH at QB. But now that is over with (thank God). Croyle can step in and do a good job for us, all he has to do this year is learn and get better. I am very exited for Croyle to finally be our starting QB.

For me the jury is still out on Hermy Edwards. I want to like him, I want him to be a successfull coach for us. With Brodie Croyle we can say we are building for the future and building a team for a Championship and not be lieing about it. Having Huard as our QB and saying we are rebuilding is just stupid.

Loseing to Denver sucked, now it is our turn to go up there and beat them.

Well said, Mr. KC Tattoo. Not exactly well spelled, but hey. Honestly, I agree with this entire post including, even, the part about hoping that Herm succeeds.

But, you've reminded me of something Herm mentioned in his press conference today about Croyle. He said he will evaluate Croyle based on whether or not he shows improvement with each game. Personally, I think that's all Brodie and we, as fans, can ask for from both Brodie and Herm on this deal. I can only hope and trust that he sticks with that as Brodie's performance benchmark.

I totally understand wanting to see improvement but he sat through 8 games with Hoover and there was no substantial improvement. I hope he is going to let Croyle have the time to pick up some of the needed adjustment he needs to change from college ball to pro ball.

No -Sorry I wasn't clear. Herm's only half the problem. It should be a given that the Chiefs won't go anywhere with Carl running things. He's gotten more mileage out of one AFC Championship appearance and 3 playoff victories in 18 years than any GM in history. But hey, as long as butts are in the seats, it appears to be okay...

Losing 3 in a row at Arrowhead?

I am not too upset about this horrible season after our playoff season last year. Going into the season with our o-line and Huard at QB it was pretty obvious that once again, even if we did barely edge into the play-offs we wouldn't win a game once we got there. Losing this many games at home means to things. 1. I will score free tickets to take my son to a game this year, and 2. Chiefs gear is already 30% off, so I will be able to buy plenty of new Chiefs clothes on super clearance.

Other positives about sucking this bad, are watching the young guys develop. In 2005 we had 11 draft picks, and only Derrick Johnson and Dustin Colquit are still playing. Between the 06 draft with Tamba Hali,
Bernard Pollard, Brodie Croyle, Jarrad Page and the 07 draft with Dwayne Bowe, Turk McBride, Tank Tyler, Kolby Smith, we have set ourselves up well for the next few years. We draft a couple of young corners, draft some o-lineman and pay a huge amount of money for an established left tackle, and things could be a lot different next year.
