Chiefs Posnanski: Chiefs’ rebuilding plan collapsed early

And … I thought Jason’s column on Monday nailed it. The Chiefs led the New York Jets by three points on Sunday with 5 minutes and 20 seconds left, and they promptly ran three running plays. It was unbelievable — I was sitting in the press box before the World Series game, watching the game with jaw dropped.

Sure, coach Herm Edwards has a reputation for being absurdly conservative, and offensive coordinator Chan Gailey isn’t exactly Mr. Vegas himself, but it was impossible to believe that a 1-5 team playing on the road would not try at least one pass in an effort to get a first down. They did not try one, though. Like dead men walking, they ran into the line three times, punted the ball back to Brett Favre and sealed their own doom.

Thank you for your support, JoPo.
