People are really misunderstanding Gailey's comments here. What he's saying is that he literally wants to win games by one point. And that's the way he's going to call the offense, with that goal in mind.
For example:
- If the Chiefs are up 3, they have the ball, and the clock is about to run down in the 4th quarter, Gailey's going to tell Brodie to receive the snap and then run backwards until he takes a safety.
- If the Chiefs are down by 5 at any point in the game, Gailey will forgo the extra point after a TD. If that happens in the 1st quarter, for the rest of the game he'll have Brodie kneel on 4th and 1 at the goalline rather than score and break up the 1 point lead. Unless the other team scores, in which case they'll do whatever necessary to get back up by 1.
- If the Chiefs are losing by 1 point late in the game, and they have the ball 4th and inches on the goalline, Chan will tell Brodie to fumble the snap and let the defense recover it. Then the other team will have the ball backed up on their 1 yard line, and Chan will cross his fingers that the Chiefs' defense can get a safety.
I think it's a really revolutionary style of calling an offense. I'm excited to see it.
