Look at this play and tell me coaching is not an issue with this team.
It's the end of the third quarter. We're down 10-7 and desperately need a drive.
We run Battle to the right side. When he hits the turf there is 30 seconds left in the quarter. Thirty seconds. That is an eternity in the NFL. What do we do? <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/08P2FG7U8aA?hd=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> We half-heartedly mill around and wait for the next play like the quarter just started. Haley appears to simply concede the last 30 seconds, in fact you can see him saying "that's the quarter." Zero situational awareness. Zero effort to try and get another snap off before the quarter ends. Zero interest in picking up the pace. A well-coached team does not respond to that situation in that manner. I've seen good teams - the Patriots, the Colts, etc, etc, in this situation and they pick up the pace and get in another snap before the quarter ends. Not the Chiefs. They act like they don't give a shit. Maybe I'm ****ing crazy but that pisses me off. |
I don't see the big deal with 15 minutes left, a 3 point differential and possession of the ball.
|
I blame any and all deficiencies on Matt Cassel until proven otherwise.

Down 10-7 end of the 3rd? This is your proof of poor coaching? LMAO
You're a Real Housewife of Chiefsplanet. |

They can barely get plays in on time when given a 40 second play clock - you expect them to get a play in with 30 seconds left?

Really isn't the best example..

They thought they'd figured out Denver's running game at that point, so there wasn't a big rush. At that point, a long time consuming scoring drive would have been great. (emphasis on the scoring)
This was just a cripple fight. Tebow hit one pass, and that was the nail in the coffin. |
By the way, we punted on this drive, and Tebow hit the bomb on Denver's ensuing possession.

But this is a poor example. You're nitpicking. Which is reeruned, considering there are a ton of much better examples of piss-poor coaching you could have used. |

The plays are drawn in crayon. That's the only way Matt can understand them |
This is really not a big deal.

That's why you see him frustrated about this playcalling thing, and frustrated by things like Baldwin running the wrong route (this happened in the third quarter on our TD drive, Baldwin ran into the same area as Breaston and Cassel got pissed). He has the aptitude to run the offense quickly and efficiently. But apparently the coaches don't even prepare for this kind of situation. Or maybe they do, they just didn't even realize it was happening. Either way, piss poor. |

I sure didn't see Denver saying "meh" to that third and 11. |

That'd be a fantastic surprise. |
Yeah, I am totally up in arms. Grrr.
|
A real coach would've burned all three timeouts there and maxed out 4 more plays before the end of the 3rd quarter. EFFICIENCY!

They squandered a golden opportunity to run McCluster up the middle for a half yard gain and a chance to fumble.
Actually, I agree that the coaching and management on this team is pathetic. We have had a new offensive coordinator every season since Pioli has been the GM here. That fact alone is unacceptable. Gaily had absolutely nothing to work with and still managed to score points with it. Why was is to urgent to run him off? These clowns can't seem to get along with anybody including themselves. It really pains me to see this proud franchise become the joke of the NFL. Yes we are the Kansas City Royals of the NFL now. |

I loathe our QB |
The defense needed as much rest as possible after getting the ball ran down their throats.
------ Anyone see Haley standing beside Crennel talking to him & RC just totally blew him off like he wasn't even there? |

You would have made a better argument for why they were running Battle to the outside.

In every single game listed below we had a reasonable amount of time (contrasted with field position, though the Denver game might be a reach) to get points on the board before the half. Three of which we lost. And the other in which the score was close enough to be considered a threat during halftime (OAK 0 @ KC 14)
KC 17 @ SD 20 We run two pass plays in 28 seconds and one of them is a screen to the smurf.KC 28 @ OAK 0 55 seconds on the clock. Two run plays and then two pass plays which are good for 28 yards.MIA 31 @ KC 3 Scoreboard says 14-3 and we have 3:03 minutes before the half. Matt's 2/3 on this drive for 48 yards. Scrambles for 7 and takes a sack. Three running plays for 15 yards. Note: We had all 3 time outs and the two minute warning.DEN 17 @ KC 10 18 seconds on the clock... We run to the right side with Battle.More than half our games we've been in this situation... We haven't scored points even once.:doh!: |
Iconic drops a truth bomb.

Maybe Rex will stop in after Denver. Give Thomas Jones a foot message & returns to his NY form. & he rips the Pats a new one
|
Good lord this thread is dumb.
Every team does this, every week. I can't wait till we pull an upset so you can make Haley into Moses again. |
Quote:
These are real shocking observations. The stats you give for the Oak game tell absolutely nothing. the MIA situation is the only one that even makes sense to post. |
It's not that we didn't score.
It's that we didn't even try. |
Quote:
Running a play before the end of the 3rd was a huge need? Lets call a spade a spade, you are bitching just to bitch or like many believe here, you really don't know shit about football except making videos and looking up stats. |
Quote:
Compare to the Eagles at the end of the Super Bowl against the Patriots. WTF was that? They even repeated that mistake recently. I like Andy Reid, but I dunno what that is, and IMHO it's a fire-able offense to be doing what the Eagles did in those situations. This? This is nothing. |
Quote:
Maybe it's happened, but I'm struggling a bit with remembering any "let's rush to get this play off before the 3rd quarter ends" situations for the Patriots if they were down by one score. THIRD quarter. Not halftime. Not end of game. THIRD QUARTER. This isn't basketball, where you try to get ANY shot off before end of quarter because it might go in. If the third quarter ends you go back out there in the same situation as when you left. |

Down 10-7 we should have been doing what, running a hurry up offense late in the third as to not waste any precious time to make up those 3 points?
Dude, when you start flailing about you really go nuclear about it. Shut the **** up for a while. |
You know you really don't help your cause with stuff like this. Its like being to desperate with women, the opposite result usually happens.

Keep reaching....try again |
And some poor coaching by Belichick there. Down by 3 and 20 seconds left in the 1st when the runner hits the turf and they just let the clock run down and go to the 2nd!
