Chiefs Seriously, Herm has to go - Page 2

I don't think I could remain sane if we played Herm's not-to-lose crap when the games matter. This game is a microcosm of why Herm simply CANNOT be a successful head coach.

If we had an owner who gave a fuck about winning he be fired, have his company car confiscated and be forced to walk home (and hopefully be stuck be a passing semi while walking along I-70).

He's fucking reeruned - just like his defensive coordinator, Gunt, and 7/8ths of his coaching staff. He should be shown the door immediately.

We've always known this. It is not a surprise. No need to get upset in a game that doesn't matter. Now if we screw around and keep Herm long enough for him to screw a playoff game like this, I'll be repairing dry wall in my house.

Oh, for Christ's sake. The score was, what, 21-10 the last time Herm made any sort of meaningful decision? If he'd gone for it and they didn't get the one yard... which, by the way, they already hadn't on the previous play... you'd be sitting here demanding Herm's job for sparking the Chargers' comeback by giving them such great field position.

Stop and think a little.

If you think that, you're as bad as Herm. 4th and inches, you go for it -- it's a ****ing no-brainer.

It wasn't one play. We choked our offense the whole second half.

Yep. We had 200+ yards in the first half, then we shut it down.

And if they hadn't made it, I'm sure you'd be posting here about how proud you were of Herm. Spare us the bullshit.

You're damn ****ing right I would be. I applauded Herm's rare show of sack when we went for two in the first SD meeting.

Yes, I know the mantra. When the offense is playing well, it's Gailey's brilliant playcalling. When the offense slows down, it must be because Herm told him not to score points.

So they go for it, get stopped, the Chargers get great field position, come back and win the game, and you're here in full support of Herm Edwards?

You are so full of shit, it's leaking out of your eyes. Just stop.

Oh Snap · 12-14-2008, 04:09 PM

Im not sold on getting rid of herm just yet. this team is young, and with that, lacking in the experience department. Basically we have a college team learning on the fly what it takes to be an NFL caliber team. We have started to slowly progress. So we knew we were going to suck ass coming into this season.. Some of you need to lower your expectations.

One area that pisses me off with herm though is the key 4th and inches. We gotta go for those. We're a 2-12 team we have been shitty all year long. We have nothing to lose by going for it. This playing not to lose is where im at odds with herm.

IF it doesnt get better, then we can call for his head. But this game was winnable, WE SHOULD HAVE WON TODAYS GAME BY A LANDSLIDE! If Barth makes that FG earlier on in the game, we win by a point or two. If we get TDs when we are down in the redzone instead of a missed FG or a INT, We win this game comfortably.

Todays game was just a wierd game. We should have won, but we didnt.

L.A. Chieffan · 12-14-2008, 04:12 PM

If Barth made the FG early in the game Norv wouldn't have gone for 2 in the two late TDs and the game would have gone into OT where Thigpen wouldve jizzed in his pants when he saw a oppurtunity for a 2 yard QB draw on 3rd and 18, and then we wouldve lost anyways.

Rebuilding. Get over it.

It's called understanding probabilities, and the risk vs. return tradeoff in football. It's obvious Herm doesn't understand it, and it's obvious you don't either.

Mr. Arrowhead · 12-14-2008, 04:16 PM

I have been pretty patient with herm, but this game does it for me, this shit was inexcusable. I dont care what team you have, young, old, or a bunch of reeruns, you cant choke away a game like that.
