Herm wouldn't even let Huard audible his order at the Taco Bell Drive Thru

Honestly, I trust Huard's judgement more than Solari's. I realize we managed to win by Huard pulling off 10 yard completions on second down again and again last week, but the play calling on first down was just comical.

I was at a sports bar at the time, surrounded by Vikes fans. Their jaws were dropping after about the 15th time that we ran Larry right into the back of Weigman. On our final drive I made a bet with the Vike fan at my table that we would run Larry three times up the gut. I won the bet.

The stupidity of Mike Solari is mind-blowing. It's like standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon of stupidity, looking out on something that is just awe-inspiring.

I'd rather have a QB with some character and ability to change the game using audibles, myself... Damon the Drone is just going to run the plays he's told and try not to turn the ball over... which will be good if our D holds up and they can get their special teams' shit together. Damon gon' be fine.. he gon' be fine. ...and Colquitt's gonna bounce back from his sub-par performance last week.

We ran 11 consecutive times on first down last week.

ELEVEN.

I don't understand the Huard-haters. If he hadn't come in last year there is no way we would have made it into the post-season. If he had played in Indy I believe we would have won.

So he's not young, so what. He did a tremendous job last year, and he is now showing signs he can repeat the performance this year. Time for people to give the guy a chance.

Gannon was a career journeyman and back-up for a long time before he signed with the Raiders. Huard may not prove to be as good as Gannon, but so far he has at least proven he can play.

Ok you're nuts...Indy won the bowl, they were raping us no matter who the QB was...

People like me don't want Huard to play because playing to win 7 games accomplishes nothing for the future of this franchise.

Developing a 35 year old, brilliant...

That game was close well into the second half, even though we went something like 40 minutes without a first down. Our defense was kicking Manning's ass.

Nobody is suggesting developing Huard. He proved last year he doesn't need to "develop". All I'm suggesting is that maybe, just maybe, we might have a chance to be competitive. On paper, we are about the same on offense as last year, and we are much improved on defense. Considering we went 9-7 last year, maybe we should at least get into October before we bail on the whole season and throw Croyle to the wolves.

If we hit 1-5, I'll join the "Start Croyle Now" crowd. But maybe we should just see what Huard can do this year first. If you are correct, our draft position will still be just fine, and Croyle should get some quality experience down the stretch.

So you are striving to sneak into the playoffs and get raped again kinda thing?

The Chiefs don't win on the road, especially against good teams.

Does that mean we shouldn't at least try? Is it really gonna be that much better next year, or the year after, that we should just give up right now?

Well what do you want to do, give it to the young kid with potential. Thats flat out crazy.

ROFL

LMAO

Great post, Adam. I agree that the playoff game was winnable if (a) Huard had gotten at least half a game to play and (b) the play calling wasn't so vapid. The problem is clearly NOT Huard. That's a placebo for all the Herm-haters. The problem is that Huard is not allowed to check off at the LOS and is stuck trying to make 11 straight HB plunges on 1st down work against the NFL's best run D.

Were he allowed to go over the top with single coverage on his WRs, I am sure he would.

He's not brave either.

I heard an interview with Huard last week where he was asked about audibles.....

He said they often call 2 plays in a "check with me", however its usually 2 runs or 2 passes, depending on the coverages or overloads which one they use.

It would seem to me to have an ability to audible to a pass when 9 guys crowd the line might be a good thing......


Oh, and if we're keeping score.....Huard sucks balls, and that is why he's a career backup.
