Romeo throws half of the team under the bus...
 

Yet another reason having him being DC and HC at the same time is a bad idea.

When asked about the tension and angst that's created when you get "kicked" on both sides of the line of scrimmage, he said (and I'm paraphrasing):

"I don't think that's accurate. I don't think we got kicked on BOTH sides of the ball. The defense played well. We made some mistakes late in the game and let them get some yards but I don't think the defense got 'kicked' at all."

romeo just doesnt care. plain and simple. retire already with ur 3 fraud cheated superbowl rings thanks to tom brady and dissa ****ing pear already

How the **** has Daboll not been fired yet?

I guess I don't see that as throwing anyone under the bus. The offense stinks so why blow sunshine up their butts. I'm betting the players would say the same thing.

How the **** did he get hired?

The defense ****ing stinks too!

They're 32nd in the league in points against. They can't stop anybody.

It's selfish CYA bullshit from a guy that has no business being a head coach.

Human nature says.....Boom!

Id call for the teams execution

I suspect anything short of miraculous on Thursday will get that desired result.

Its nice just to see him say something that isn't functionally reeruned Pioli ventriloquism.

And yeah he should have added, "Its my fault for not having these guys ready."

cus he had like the best offense ever the past teams hes been the offensive coordinator with right? I mean look at that high scoring powerful juggernot cleveland team he coached. WOW. I mean thats how you get offensive coordinator jobs right? Being really good and your team having success right?

I wish my company hired like pioli does. I'd be the CFO today. Any good chief financial officer experience worth noting to me before I hire you anyway? Uhh Yeah once I owned a lemonaid stand when I was 5 and I made 25 dollars in quarters! And one time I bought a 30 pack of budlight because it was on sale! Pioli- Oh thats perfect. Yeah youre hired!

What is he supposed to say? The defense is his baby and an ugly baby at that!

He's the head coach.

He could have said "we didn't get kicked, on either side of the ball".

Singling out the offense is bush league.

I'm listening now. He sounds like a guy on his way out the door. I wonder if the money is worth the further tarnishment of his reputation.

The defense has definately not played to billing, but the team is allowing TWELVE points a game off turnovers alone. Most of those caused opponents to have amazing field position. That's crazy.

Special teams also had a fumble and a penalty that put 3 pts on the board...

Bingo.

The offense is wearing the **** out of the defense. After that fumble on the 1st play of the 3rd quarter you could tell the defense was deflated.

Hey thanks for giving them the ball on the 20 again and not giving us any relief.

If I had to venture a wild guess I'd say better than 60% were on our side of the field...

They allow 6 points going into the half without that goofed punt. That's a good effort. The 2nd half starts with a muffed snap deep in their own territory. It's a ****ing travesty.

Well then he needs to back that somabitch up and get the other half as well. Then he needs to drive the whole fricking thing off of a cliff.

the team can't throw his fat ass under the bus, it wouldn't fit.

If (when) we get blown out Thursday, he is gone. Probably would have yesterday if this wasn't a short week

WTF is going to be interim coach, Jim Zorn? I say fire Pioli and ride it out with RAC.

It doesn't matter.

He's not the defensive coordinator, he's the head coach. Or at least he's getting paid to be the head coach.

John McKay (First Buccaneers head coach) was once asked about his team's execution. "I'm all for it", he replied.

Thursday is going to be very telling. Clark will have basically an entire weekend to throw Pioli out and get someone up to speed before they play the Steelers on MNF.

This is the week they need to get embarrassed.

Do I have to break down what this D has done (or failed to do) in the first quarter of games this year? They start pissing down their legs just as quickly as the offense does. Don't start making excuses for the D, because they come out of the tunnel failing.

It doesn't matter.

A head coach - a LEADER - doesn't say what he said. Ever.

For what?

I'm really hoping we don't score ANY points.

Either Zorn or Carthon.

Carthon is a complete joke and will never have a job outside the "tree".

I think that Zorn is bright enough to politely decline that offer.

I wouldn't fire anyone. Crash and burn, baby.

Crash and burn.

I agree.

That is my thought too. We don't want these guys trying too hard with a new coach. They have to lose games.

"he did a great job with Matt Moore in Miami"

it's players fellas. you got to have players that can play at this level. the chiefs don't have but a few. Hence an idiot like Daboll looks good at miami 2011 and like dog poop in KC 2012.

can the bus driver throw a ball 50 yards .. snap the ball without bouncing it .. cover the slant routes .. hire him and fire the rest .....

Agreed. There is no need to to try and fix the train mid wreck. Let's finish this and get the 1st pick.

So you get my point?

I mean, that's what is REALLY wrong with this team.

The losing, on the field, is a by-product of the environment.

People say that the candy wrapper stuff doesn't matter. They don't care that the media has to have escorts to take a leak. When Romeo says stuff like this, it's just "coach speak" or "what should he have said".

When it comes down to it, all of the above are SYMPTOMS. Indicators of a front office that is self-absorbed, paranoid, and capable of disparaging ANYBODY, including their friends, if that's what it takes.

It's no wonder they are losing. They're LOSERS.

Exactly. Pioli should bug his own office so he'll understand this.

Time to Flush!

I was caught up in the good feeling at the end of the yr like many but its obvious now we were thinking with our Dicks and not our Brains.

**** this staff in the ass already.

It would appear they stink.. I'm going to say the biggest reason that our rank is 32 is because of the offensive turnovers. A lot of turnovers inside our 40.

I'm gonna say the biggest reason our rank is 32 is because they suck, from the coach on down.

I've said a few times that I'd like to see Zorn as the interim hc and Thomas as the interim dc.

They are the two coaches we have that aren't patriot way.

Kill the head of the snake (Pioli) and the rest of the body will die with it (Romeo and Cassel)

well, the offense has given the Defense very very short fields. I wonder how many of the points came because turnovers for a very short field for the opponent.

The oppposing offense usually doesnt have a very big field. I know they have fumbled and intercepted quite a few times deep in their own side of the field.

But this whole team does blow right now. They just arent playing hard for gramps

This is not a toss the team under the bus statement. You need lessons from this guy to learn how to do that.

Yea, the defense just gave up 26 points to a team that was at or near the bottom in every offensive statistic. The fact is, the raiders were a two win team going into week seven...we still lost by two scores.

Our best players (who are actually pretty damn good players) are from the Herm era. Bowe, Charles, Hali, Flowers, and Albert were all left overs from the herm era. I'm not saying herm was a great coach, but we haven't exactly struck gold in the draft under Mr. Patriot Genius. This is one area Herm excelled at. I would be open to herm returning as possibly a scout. I've even heard his name thrown around as a possible GM...Take from that what you will.

Yep, the defense gets the raw deal more often than not. Think about it...

The defense intercepted the first pass of the game. The offense went three and out.

The defense held Oakland to a FG after Quinn was intercepted even though they started on the KC 45.

When the score was 6-6, Arenas muffed a punt giving Oakland the ball at KC's 14. Oakland gets a TD from there like they should and it's 13-6.

Cassel/Lilja muff the snap straight out of the gate and Oakland gets the ball on the KC 18. They hold Oakland to a FG.

Janowkowski wide right on a FG attempt. Jalil Brown was offsides. He gets to re-kick it and it's good.

13 of the 26 points were not on the defense imo.

RAC should not have spoken out. He should have just fired Daboll.

Just fire the management and forfeit the rest of the season.

This D is slightly disappointing considering my borderline top 5 expectations but they' ve been put in bad position way too many times by turnovers and the offense won't give them a break. Overall, I think the D has done fine.

Here's the thing:

If Romeo Crennel is JUST the head coach, and not the defensive coordinator, he removes any potential conflict of interest.

As it is, there's no way he can make it look like he's NOT covering his own ass.

He should have kept his mouth shut.

Or hired a defensive coordinator.

After backing the bus over half the team, he should run a steam roller over the other half. Don't go half-assed.

ROFL

i guess i would consider this to be "throwing them under the bus" if they weren't six shades of sh1t every sunday. I guess if you think he should have chucked the D and ST under with them then that's a fair criticism

Herm was an excellent scout of talent but he's a pathetic HC...

I'm thankful for RAC. If the Chiefs had a coach of even limited competence, they might win six meaningless games. With Romeo at the helm, they might not win another. This team needed to hit rock bottom (again). The only way to replace this awful regime.

Our offense is 31st in the league in points scored, while our defense is 28th in points allowed. It's clear that the offense is the problem.

~200 points given up off turnovers

:banghead:

That's coaching, pure and simple.

Marty's teams were always competitive for one reason - the were always leading the NFL in takeaways.

They never gave up the ball and always ended up positive in takeaways.

This team is ****ing sloppy as all hell. Completely undisciplined. And that's why were are getting shellacked every ****ing week.

Coaching matters, even when these lazy one who sucks the peniss shouldn't need it getting paid millions of dollars to play a game. Someone needs to be there and ram the basics and fundamentals up their collective asses with a broomstick. Ingrain it into their very existence.

These are a bunch of high profile college guys that succeeded at that level by simply being better than the other guy because they were (athletically, naturally, whatever). Fundamentals. Shove that shit up their asses.

But "player coaches" like Herm and Romeo aren't doing it.

Fire these pricks and get someone in here that will teach these guys how to play some ****ing football.

Can we get Fisher Deberry and Bill Synder to come in here on a daily basis after this season?

Honestly, he would have been better off just saying "we didn't get kicked", emphasis on the word "we".

But he's the defensive coordinator, so going of the way he did going out of his way to talk up the defense makes him look self-serving and petty. Not what you want out of your HEAD COACH.

Then again, there's not much he does that you want out of your head coach.

so you want him to say LESS interesting things at the presser?

agree with the second bit.

But I don't think the head coach has to defend the team's honour. He should hav acknowledge that they were kicked in every respect. IMO.
