The Miami game when the Chiefs flew in and flew out the same day with a victory on a Friday night showed guts. Of course you will do anything to throw a negative at Vermeil.

Yeah, a ton of guts.

Winning a game they were expected to win, just because they played it 2 days early.

And I don't need to go out of my way to "throw a negative" at Vermeil, his 2 winning seasons out of 5 speak volumes on their own.

And thanks for the neg rep, it actually made my point total go UP.

ROFL

Dick Vermiels team was fun to watch but his short sighted wanting to win now view because he was old ****ed us for years to come, it wasn't built to win or built to be good for longer than a few years.

It must have hurt that an Al Saunders-influenced offense dropped 500+ yards and 38 points on the Chiefs today. Talk about "gutsy".

here I just posted this up on youtube. Glad I recorded the game to get this lmao!!

Is this supposed to mean something, or is it just your typical gibberish?

My guess is that you're typing one handed, and fluffing Mike Martz with the other.

They were "out-stat'ed" 2 to 1 in every way and yet they had a chance to win on the road against a top 3 NFL team. The only reason they were in that game is due to Haley's excellent coaching job in preparing them. That was only the 2nd game we've played with Haley as OC - with the backup QB no less.

The takeaways and special teams plays were reminiscent of the Marty teams of the 90's where we were +gazillion in give/take ratio. Once this offense kicks in (and I'm confident it will with Haley), I think we'll see the best of Marty and Vermiel wrapped into one very good team.

Looks like he's telling him to "snap the ****ing ball".

Oh he was.

Snap the ****ing ball. Jesus Christ, Brodie. Snap the ****ing ball.

And that wasn't the only time.

At the end of the 1st half after we ran the 2nd draw, he said something to the effect of "what happened to the pass?"

You are going to get some confusion when you have a new system and you switch OC's with less than 2 weeks before the start of the season.

Yeah, even with Herm. Heck, the Chiefs had a ton of first half leads last year, and lost like seven games by a TD or less.

It got us a 2-14 record.

Remember how 'encouraged' we were about not getting our butt handed to us in NE last year.

Anyone read lips? I wanna' know the rest of that!

I agree with the OP. In addition, real, tough, determined football players feed off of confidence. Games like this will give them confidence that the coach knows what he is doing and the system, although it may take time, will work. Once you have guys that will go to war for you, then you can win.

Absolutely. I'm not faulting Croyle for calling that timeout - it shouldn't happen, but I understand why it did.

I do fault Croyle for changing that play at the end of the half - if he's that scared, he shouldn't be on the field.

I couldn't tell what he said at the very end, but it sort of looked like "jesus christ brodie! Your wife is pretty hot!"
