Chiefs I am afraid that Haley might have lost the team today. - Page 2

SenselessChiefsFan · 09-27-2009, 02:27 PM

With the Chiefs trailing huge, the Chiefs went into a shell. It appeared that he quit calling plays trying to win.

That combined with his arrogance, and hardass attituded towards everyone...... he could have a very, very short shelf life.

I cannot believe how conservative that game was called. I understand protecting the QB... but you have give yourself a chance to win the game.

My biggest gripe about Herm was the conservative play calling.... and Haley has made him look like Al Saunders.

It is hard to keep a team from giving up when the head coach calls a game like he gave up midway through the third quarter.

The end of the game, maybe. But halfway through the third quarter? I don't buy that at all.

As for giving ourselves a chance to win the game, it was pretty obvious from about the 10 minute mark in the 1st quarter that they had no chance to win the game. At that point the playcalling becomes about not getting embarrassed and not getting anybody killed.

People are concerned with that because when you scream and yell and basically make an ass of yourself saying my way works etc etc..

Then you get your ass kicked and that guy basically calls plays that wave the white flag...it sends a funky message to players.

They have a lost and found at the stadium. Haley found them and a pair of sunglasses that he lost in 1997.

Haley takes blame ... I respect that. Maybe he is in over his head, but at least he admits blame. Unlike the last coach

Herm used to comment upon "the need to play the game a certain way" to account for the personnel, and he was killed for these comments...

If he's going to call plays and we can't do this or that due to personnel I hope you guys are pumped for 0-16.

No way the executive of the decade could be a part of something so terrible. Not possible.

Cleveland will be the game for the 1st pick, I don't think we'll beat Washington.

They had a shit load of cap room and the deepest OL draft class in recent memory...and did nothing to fix this OL.

That inspires my confidence in their intelligence.

This is a game where we were horribly outmatched. It reminds me of the Eagles game several years ago when we played without Roaf.

I'm not too upset at Haley for the way the game was coached. I'm upset that his players still make boneheaded mistakes. But the playcalling is fine. There's nothing you can do when on every pass play, at least two pass rushers are getting to Cassel unblocked.

I'm more pissed at Pioli for not realizing this was a problem sooner. Haley is doing the best he can with what he was given.

That being said, this is an interesting test for Haley. Yellers and screamers have a hard time yelling, when players don't buy into what you're selling. It reminds me of when Coughlin was almost ousted several years ago.

Half the players won't be here next year because they suck so who gives a shit.
