Excellent write up as always!!! I to look forward to reading each week, take good care of the wifey!

I was kinda leaning towards the "Hiring Crennel as permanent HC" notion before todays win. Not that there aren't other coaching candidates I would like to see here. But I think he's probably one of the best choices that Pioli would be comfortable with.

Couldn't agree more. That guys motor is incredible.

As always, your review is excellent!
:clap:

I've been thinking about the officiating during the game. Blowfish has said over and over, 'win and you get the calls,' or some or something similar. But that wasn't really the case, in fact, I commented in the chat that maybe Mercury Morris paid off the refs. Hali got held bad, like usual, but that's really the only bad call going our way that I can remember. In fact, the OPI calls going against Green Bay were bad. Really bad.

It was really weird. Normally we can count on bad calls at opportune times, like the OPI calls, or roughing the passer against a big time QB, or defensive holding or some crap.

Not saying I'm ready to go all tin foil hat, but it is definitely a dissent from what we are used to.

I want to see how we do vs the Raiders and Donks in our last two games before deciding whether Romeo should be the guy, or if we should broaden the coaching search. I think Romeo would be OK, but I worry about his age and health. He's not in as bad a shape as Charlie Weis, but pretty close.

:I may not be as good as I once was, but I am as good once as I ever was" What is there to make us believe that Romeo isn't the same guy who finished 4-12, 4-12, 6-10, and 10-6 in Cleveland. He is a great Defensive coordinator, but what evidence is there that that translates into a good HC. Yesterday was an amazingly called game. Possibly the best executed gameplan by the Chiefs in years.

If they win out, it is going to be tough not to give him the job, but even so, Carson Palmer and Tebow aren't the best measuring sticks. I am pulling for him.

... that Romeo frankly admitted he had little or nothing to do with. Of course, that could be false humility.

I like Romeo. If he can string just a couple of wins together, he'll probably be our next HC since he's one of a very few people who fit the criteria people are assuming Pioli will require.

But I think the Chiefs need a young head coach who can grow and stay with the team for a sustained period of time. My only problem with Romeo is that he's old. And round. Very, very round.

He's calorically challenged.

How do you feel about Jay Gruden?

Embarrassing, yes. However, I'd take Orton over at least 14 Week 15 starters in the NFL. The entire league is suffering from a severe quality-QB drought.

I know a lot of people are concerned with Romeos age but I think one difference may be that this team is very assistant coach heavy. I believe Romeo made some good fundamental changes in the team during the week that helped the team. I think Romeo can succeed if he isn't burdened with too much coaching responsability.

Team played their ass off for a coach they respect. I hope pioli finally gets that

The Chiefs front office has already been accused of age discrimination, so hiring old guys doesn't match their corporate culture right now. They might be forced to make an exception in this case.

The warm glow of victory is like unto an airbrush filter which masks the ugly wart of reality on the tittah of truth. Remember that, guys. It will serve you well.

When the offense gets first downs, the defense can rest. When the defense rests, the defense doesn't get as tired and can bring the freaking pain. When the offense scores points after time-consuming drives, it gets even better.

I give this game ball to Orton, frankly.
