Chiefs I love the fact that Todd goes for it on 4th down

Fat Elvis · 11-01-2010, 09:18 AM

I didn't really care for him as a coach until he started to do it on a regular basis. He plays to win. He is the anti-Marty who played not to lose. We saw how far that got us, we became the very definition of mediocre. My only gripe with going for it on 4th downs is that Wies continually calls a freakin' pass play on 4th down. Todd needs to kick Charlie in the nuts and tell him to dance with the date that gets him somewhere: the run.

I agree that he's the Anti Marty and completely a 180 from Herm.

I really think this guy can be the coach here for a long, long time.

jiveturkey · 11-01-2010, 09:25 AM

I also agree.

I agree to an extent. I love aggressiveness, but it must be tempered at times with common sense.

I thought he should have taken the points. This was a call that came close to costing us the game. There were other things as well but the most direct was not getting that 4 and 2. At least he should not put that ball in Matt's hands. Run Charles or Jones on a toss.

He seems like a totally different coach with some actual help.

I agree . Shannarat would do it all the time & it worked ,pissed me off . I am glad we have a coach who wants to win

It's made the games have high drama! Sometimes I just can't see the point in doing it so early in games though. I understand if you're at a 50 plus yard FG with high winds and your short 2 yards.

But I've yet to understand the play calling on 4th down.

**luv** · 11-01-2010, 09:32 AM

Depends on the team we're playing. Someone like Indy, where a FG is not going to win the game for us, sure. Someone like Buffalo, you take the points. While I like that he's not afraid to go for it, I really wish he would have taken the FG early in the second quarter. Wouldn't have been such a heart attack of a game.

Micjones · 11-01-2010, 09:33 AM

I'm fine with it when it doesn't cost us points. Refusing to take FG's isn't smart.

This. As I said in another thread, balls is one thing - but some of things Haley's doing now are just nuts.

Those three points we left on the field in the first quarter would have kept the game from going to overtime, where we really should have lost. No reason not to kick a field goal against the BILLS in the first quarter.

I agree...Succop is good but not worth betting the farm on. I like the agressive play calling and Chiefsball is fun to watch again!

Graystoke · 11-01-2010, 09:38 AM

It isnt Martyball correct...but oh so dangerous

Chiefnj2 · 11-01-2010, 09:42 AM

I don't understand why he chooses to go for it in certain situations, but not others.

Punt from the Buffalo 33 on the first drive, yet give up a chance at an easy 3 in a scoreless game 2 drives later?

If you are going to go for it with a river boat gambler mentality in the last few games, then why risk giving the Bills the ball back with 1 1/2 minutes? Go for it on 4th and 1, especially with the bizarre series of events leading up to that punt.
