How can the coaches not go for it on fourth and 1 before the half? - Page 2

That was absolutely one of the worst calls I've seen DV make since he's been to KC. Hell even Marty would have at least tried to draw the defense offsides. Priest could have easily gotten that first down and kept the drive alive but why do that when you can try for a field goal with a rookie kicker? It seems like almost every part of this team is going to fall apart and every week things are just going to get worse.

Everyone who was posting on the board here knew it as well. It was a no brainer. Give it to Priest, problem solved.

What's new? For the last 3 to 4 years we've had the best back in the NFL and when 4th and 1 comes up, we elect to either punt it away or try a field goal, which in the past we made, or Morten Andersen didn't have the leg to get it there.

DV is a great coach with some flaws like every coach has. He said it was a mistake. He let the team down with the decision. He would do it different next time.

We will see if he shows more faith in his offense instead of his defense next time.
