Go for 2 or not?

[L.A. Chieffan]

Kill yourself or not.

[Rausch]

2

[NY CHIEF]

Yes :clap:

[KChiefs1]

we need a poll

[kstater]

It was the right call.

[SAUTO]

YES

[POND_OF_RED]

Herm finally played to win a game. Glad he failed though.

[JBucc]

yes

[suds79]

Hell yes.

There's some stat that the team that wins the coin toss wins over 50% of those games.

I'd rather see us take it in our own hands.

[Tiger's Fan]

It didn't matter either way. This game was lost at the half.

[chiefs1111]

Hell Yes!

[JuicesFlowing]

Hell yes!

[DaFace]

I wish they would have kicked it just to give the team a morale boost. Even if we lost in overtime, it shows that we could hang with them.

But I don't hate Herm for going for two.

[JuicesFlowing]

is midnight_vulture a douchbag

Well said!

[KC_Connection]

I just think it's a tough way for those guys to lose after that great last drive. But it really didn't matter either way.

[memyselfI]

The Chiefs are mid-point of a miserable season. They've lost two heartbreakers in a row. A win here could spark a second half season rebound. To gamble unnecessarily at this point was just stoooopid.

I wonder how much long snapper issues played into his decision.

I'm stunned you're taking the contrarian opinion.

[Simply Red]

Yes.

[Portlantis]

Yes.

Good to see you back.

[memyselfI]

I'm stunned you're taking the contrarian opinion.

My entire household thought this was a bad decision.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

the way the chiefs defense has played this year, i think it's a great call. if they lose the coin toss, 99 percent chance they lose the game.

[Frazod]

Cool - I'm on the opposite side of an issue from DEnise. Now I know I'm right. :thumb:

[Spott]

This game would still be in OT if the right call was made.

[smittysbar]

Kick it

[Thig Lyfe]

Yes. But no rollout.

[KChiefs1]

My question is.....could the long-snapper have gotten the ball to Colquitt?

[Smed1065]

My entire household thought this was a bad decision.

Surprise! :eek:

[Ultra Peanut]

My entire household thought this was a bad decision.Thanks for the confirmation.

[Reerun_KC]

As long as Herm continues to Fail, it doesnt matter...

Which Herm has and always will Fail, so we are still looking good for Herm to be canned!

[RJ]

Why the **** not?

[Lbedrock1]

My problem with going for 2 is that they didn't get it. This team played hard today and deserved a chance to win. They looked dejected after the loss and I think Herm should have played for a OT win. He has got to find a way for this team to win or the hard play he sees will all go up in the wind.

[RJ]

My entire household thought this was a bad decision.


Well, in that case I've changed my mind.

[Reerun_KC]

Actually I change my mind.. Going for 2 was the right Idea, we have a very low % of completing it and Our Failure HC will continue to Fail by his calls...

So by all means it was the right call. It keeps Fail Edwards losing and the hope for a new coach on the horizon...

So we try to go for OT whenever we're the underdog in an away game and on a downhill slide after a first good half?

[KcMizzou]

[Dartgod]

My entire household thought this was a bad decision.
I'm shocked! :eek:

[Smed1065]

Just imagine the results if it worked?

[kansas hawk]

In this case go for two. Now, if we were fighting for first place not so sure I would of

[boogblaster]

Looking at the whole, we were hurt on defense today lots of unknowns playing at the end, the two-point try probably was the right call ... kick me later .....

[luv]

Exactly. If it was an important game, played at home, etc.

[Ebolapox]

yeah, brah, you go for two there if you're 1-7.

[2bikemike]

I was thinking 2 pt conversion before TG scored. I hated the play call but Props to Herm for sacking up and going for it.

[CrazyPhuD]

We should have just kicked the FG once we got within the 20. Would have saved all the drama!

[kcmaxwell]

absolutely!! we gave it a shot...didn't work out. we played to win the game!(had to be said)
maxwell

That was the old Herm this is the New Herm!

[Skip Towne]

85% of the HC's in the NFL would do what Herm did.

It s better to keep quiet and be thought an idiot than to post and remove all doubt.

[jjchieffan]

I applaude the decision. My reasoning is the injuries. First of all, our players have been dropping like flies lately. Why extend the game and increase the chance for more injuries. Secondly, with all of the injuries on D, the chances of us stopping SD if they won the coin toss was slim. How many second and third and fourth team DB's and Dlinimen were playing at the end of the game? I am surprised that we held them to 20 points taking that into account.

[melbar]

our young perrenial losing team clawed their way on the road to a chance to take it to o.t. against a pre-season superbowl favorite (not to mention give our kicker a chance to redeem himself and gain confidence. They got to feel good about themselves for about 30 seconds before getting slammed back to earth. Go for the tie on the road. Coaching 101.

[Smed1065]

But I don't hate Herm for going for two.

IMO The morale was the come back to tie in the last Quarter for Thiggy he has had good game from leading. He showed he can come back. I am happy.

Fuck the BS that we were going to show improvement in the first 5-6 games. You all lied when they showed no improvement in 6 games in but 1 win.

You were the same ones that accepted it but lied when the season started. IMO.

But no improvement in first 6 games and oldest to youngest. Posiers. Yes, U on here.

IMHO.

Rebuild but win half games for first 6.

Then when they lost without winning with 40% rookies, you suck. LOL This place is unreal and ....and the expert.

Smed sometimes struggles with structure, flow, and English.

[twinkiekid]

I was so angry after the decision to go for two. My ottoman flew accross the living room, my dog cowered into his kennel, my son was crying, and the neighbors were probably debating whether or not to call the police.:cuss:

Without knowing the stats, the Chiefs were terrible at converting third downs all game. It took them three shots to get into the endzone to tie the game. They had four chances in a previous game and came up empty. There was no threat of the Chiefs running the ball. The Chiefs did not have a time out to talk about the play (maybe it would have been best for them to take a delay of game penalty). Bowe can't catch a fade, TG is triple teamed in the redzone, Cox is not a legit NFL foolback (fullback for those without a sense of humor), and the roll out had not worked the entire game. Why go for 2? So you can have a ten percent chance of winning the game? I would have to believe that the Chiefs have at least a 40 percent chance of winning in overtime. The super chargers had only scored 20 points all game and were just stopped the posession prior. Thigpen had just showed that he was capable of driving the offense down the field. Chalk this loss up to Herm playing for the number one draft pick next year.

[kepp]

I was yelling at the TV at first, but when I calmed down and thought about it, I liked the call. The percentages between going for 2 and going to overtime were about the same, and it was probably good for a young team to see an aggressive call from the coach.

Good post. You're on a 6 game slide, you just got your heart broken in over time 2 weeks previous, and gave up a game last week against the Bucs. It was time to see what they were made of. Unfortunately it didn't work out. Trying to get off the snide, we're not going to the playoffs, and we don't have a top 5 defense. We don't have a top twentyfuckingfive defense. It was absolutely the right call, and I commend the head coach for having the testicles required to do it.

[twinkiekid]

So the Coach has testicles. What about the guys who fought for four hours? Do their tesiticles not matter? Just because it was brave does not make it right. That arguement is false logic.

[smittysbar]

This is only the sixth coach to go for two when needing one to tie.

[Delano]

Sometimes?

[chiefsngop]

Most of defense banged up or out with injuries +

offense logged several 3 & outs +

our defenses overall track record this year +

rookies and guys that weren't even on team everywhere you look =

Don't play for overtime on the road.

[Sully]

It was a good idea. I don't defend Herm often (or at all, anymore), but I'll defend this.
You have 3 yards to go to win the game. if you kick the one, you have to overcome a coin-flip, possibly an offense that is better than yours, special teams fiascos, a defense that is one giant ACL sprain, heavy wind, and a crowd against you.
You take the shot. It's not about nuts, or guts, it's about the smart thing, and this was the smart thing.

[Programmer]

If you consider the lack of imagination of the short yardage offense it's an easy choice. Go for the tie and continue the momentum you gained at the end of the game in overtime.

It's a tossup, but as it stood you had less than a 50% chance going for 2.
