Is that they just plain suck?

Right after the game Gretz write a column saying how the Chiefs played like a team that had been put together from guys stumbling around in the parking lot who’d been given a five minute primer on how to play football (which is as damning an indictment of coaching as you can make), then he says that the coaching staff put out a full effort in gameplanning for Carolina, then he says that maybe the players didn’t prepare as seriously during practice as they should have (which is also largely a responsibility of the coaching staff).

So which is it, Bob? Did they try or did they just half-ass it? Because from the remarks made by coaches and players after the game it sounds a lot like the people in charge half-assed it…which also seems to be a habitual pattern in the Chiefs these days.

I wonder if Gretz ever hates himself for having to be a shill for a management team as blatantly terrible as what the Chiefs have?

I honestly believe that if Jeff Fisher or Bill Belichek was our coach, we are a 8-8 to 10-6 team. That’s why every night I pray before I go to bed that we get rid of our GM and Herm and go in the right direction.

The Panthers beat us severely by simply out ‘football playing’ us. Our O-line didn’t cover their gaps, thanks MacInsuck, the DE’s didn’t contain and got burnt on draw plays. That touchdown run up the gut was a total defensive communication failure, and generally each play you could see the progression of the play follow the Panther’s blocking scheme. Meanwhile our secondary, the one place we’re developing ahead of schedule had their hands more than full with Smith and Muhammad all day.

Normally, we’d blame Bowe over Huard for that int because Huard’s a veteran, but he was so weary at that point, and because we’re suspect Bowe would ever mishear a stop route over a deep route, that coulda gone either way.

Poor mental discipline.

I can be angry and honk and try to cut people off, or I can wait calmly.

I know I’m in the minority, but I’m willing to give Croyle longer to see if he stays healthy and improves.

I’m also willing to wait until the end of the season to call it a total failure.

I expect to see wild variations in play this season. We’ll do well at times and awfully at others.

The trade deadline is passing, I don’t honestly believe Carl or Herm will be canned mid-season (nor do I think they should).

If week 16 comes and goes and this team is in the state it is now, there is obviously a problem. If this team alternates performances like it did between Denver and Carolina, there is less of a problem.This team needs to show a trend of improvement over the course of the season. Five games (4 1/2 without the starting QB) isn’t enough to draw conclusions.

Since Herm doesn’t use the internet or watch the Super Bowl, does that mean he doesn’t watch game tapes either? Does he purely go off his live experiences? I just wish I could follow a day in the life of Herm during the regular season or understand why he does what he does. I mean the guy can’t be that stupid. I don’t understand his logic whatsoever.

Was there an SBN Jets site up during Herm’s last year with the Jets? I would love to see the comments and compare them with ours this year.

I’ve heard it all. Gretz is a clown with no credibility. Hopefully, he is run out of town with Herm and Carl.
