Best point in this thread. To me it seems that the players came to play, but the coaches didn't. I don't know if it's Herm handcuffing Gaily, or Gunther just being inept. But the play calling was absolutely atrocious today, as it has been for the last several years. How many times did we run a swing pass, or a dump off? Finally after getting clobbered again and again, they realized they had to change the plan.
In all honesty, we saw some good things today, some really good things. LJ looked great, the o-line looked like they actually belonged on a pro team(not all pro, but just good enough to be getting paid), Bowe actually caught the ball and the secondary on defense was damn good. But really, Denver is the better team, and the reason the Chiefs won, was because they looked passed us. They watched tape of the last 3 weeks, and thought to themselve that we can't even get out of our own way, so why the hell even bother.
Today's win, while great, and the game was a lot of fun to watch and was very exciting, needs to be kept in perspective. Last week, we didnt get a first down until 8:59 in the second quarter. And the two weeks before, were no picnic either.
Face facts, we won because of the "Any given Sunday" rule, and not because the Chiefs are a power house of any magnitude. King Carl, and Herm still need the boot after this season, so do Croyle, Huard, and the entire front office staff. We have some young exciting players, give them the chance to excel in this league and make the Chiefs competitors. But with the leadership the team has now, it will never, ever, happen.
