I read two things tonight about the Chiefs that dissapoint me...

DTLB58 · 01-07-2005, 09:56 PM

One was a stat they are showing on ESPN news... and that is the top 4 NFL Franchises with the longest current active streak of seasons without a playoff win.
Seattle is first at 19 years, then I think it was the Bengals at 17 and then the Lions at 14 and then the CHIEFS at 11 years! That put a sinking feeling in the bottom of my stomach to be compared with the Lions and Bungals in a post season stat.

Next was this, I finally decided to read Vermeil's last press conference and his second statement is about the team captains that were selected before Sunday's game. (Below)

“Season captains were elected last Friday and were our captains for our final game. They were Trent Green, offensively, Eric Hicks, defensively, and Gary Stills, special teams. The squad elected them. The offense elected the offense, the defense the defense and everybody voted for the special teams (captain). What three fine leaders and three fine examples and three guys who had outstanding years. They obviously earned the respect of their teammates by their performance on and off the field.

For him to say that Hicks had an outstanding year just gives me no hope whatsoever that the right personel changes are going to be made to turn this thing around on the defensive side of the ball with Vermeil as the H.C. so I would just rather see him go NOW!

When I read that crap I immeditally stopped reading the article. It made me feel the same way when he said last year in that last press conference that he had no plans of making a change at D.C.

As Dick has said before (and I have reiterated here several times) He is loyal to a fault. He also says he loves these players. Well, Love is blind too.

Bye, Bye Dick.

RE-read the article! The DEFENSE picked Hicks NOT Vermeil.

Well they all should be fired then. He may look good walking through hotel lobbies but he is a POS as a DE. I didn't hear his name called three times all season. Out with him!!!!!!!

Am I of the minority that hinks Hicks had a pretty good season?

Of course he doesn't have the sacks to show for it but I'm willing to bet that his QB pressures and hits probably lead the team.

~ Not dissapointed in Hicks.

Just two?

My point was that Vermeil said He (Hicks) had an OUTSTANDING season, not that he was voted Team captain, I couldn't care less who is the freaking team captain.

So you lead the worst defense in the league in pressures and hits. So basically he is the best of the worst. Yea, that's a guy I want on my team.

I would support him if they were fast pressures, but his pressures are so late as to have already given the QB all day to scan the field. Thats like saying Bartee is great because he was right there as the guy caught the 50 yard TD...

Its psychological training. Every time a Chiefs fan gets his hopes up they are dashed in an ass-kicking in the playoffs. Now we choose not to get this feeling of hope in order to better shelter ourselves from the dissappointment.
