geeez….we lost against a 5-5 team by the most points at home in Chiefs history. What has management learned about this team? Not much except that rebuilding isn’t working with the people making the decisions. Period.
We are A LONG way from being a winning team let alone a team that’ll make the playoffs and eventually the SB.
Don’t JUST blame the defense. The offense played at the defense level….horrendous considering that the Bills Defense is piss poor.

Herm just said that we haven’t played that way in a month…I disagree…we’ve played losing football a lot longer.

i honestly think we cant win with this spread….. i say we get rid of herm carl gunther get new staff draft a quaterback…and pick up cassel or anderson as a free agent and biuld and bulk this offensive line up and run a pro play actiion offense

and get jim johnson or rex ryan in here as the defensive corrdiantor

I just had a eureka moment. I criticized Herm earlier this week for basically saying that the team needs to make the plays and the coaches have done everything they needed to do. I attributed this to Herm not taking responsibility…I was wrong.

During this weeks practices I bet he saw how horrible the team was practicing. He foresaw this. Too bad he can’t figure out how to fix it before the game.

i am at least happy for leodis mckelvin

That’s beyond pathetic…especially playing against a team that hasn’t been that great at rushing this year.

The only defensive positive appears to be that Rocky Boiman is emerging.

Chinese Democracy turned out to be a decent album.

I labored intensely over whether or not to make a Pistol joke in the caption about this post’s picture.

you know your bad when you can always manage to come up with a new excuse for losing…every week there’s a new reason why we lose. Herm needs a come to jesus moment and realize he’s close at all to winning. The only chance we have is if the other team doesn’t show up.

Gun needs to go. Our defense is terrible. I know that turnovers put them in in some bad places, but Edwards looked like a RB. What kind of defensive scheme allows Trent Edwards to run free like that? There hasn’t been much improvement since Gun took over for Greg Robinson. Realistically since he’s the only coach on our staff in jeopardy of losing his job this year anyway, pull the trigger.

 I would make the defense practice all night tonight like Herb Brooks did with the ‘80 US Olympic hockey team. If they aren’t going to play hard in a game, I would make them pay for it in practice. Maybe we can bring Bobby Knight in as a consultant and he can choke a few players or something.

I keep thinking that the players are about to give up, and it seems the defense at least has done that.

Too many chefs spoil the soup and Herm has instituted a finesse defense on 4-3 ‘we break you screw this bending crap’ coordinator.

We need to scrap the Tampa 2, and while we all want blood on the floor, we’d say the Carl Herm (doesn’t seem likely to be able to fire one and not the other) combo axing would probably be more in the team’s interest.

Regardless, we’re coming around from our position of wait until the off-season to evaluate the coaching staff of a team in transition. If there are options out there (not likely for both GM and Coach), might as well send a message

The excellent post earlier this week, which earned a mention from Dr. Z over at Sports Illustrated, (don’t remember by whom) about how the overwhelming majority of our high draft picks in the last few years have been spent on defense. And our defense blows. They should be the strength of the team, not a huge liability allowing the most points EVER at Arrowhead. Now if only we knew who was responsible for making those picks………..

I think this game was an affirmative “Hell yes!” to the “Does LJ fit in this offense anymore?” sayers. If the defense played better, I think LJ could’ve ripped ’em a new one. He also was doing pretty good at pass blocking. I really hope he stays with the Chiefs because he is an All-Pro ’Back.

Tailgate was good, nice juicy tenderloin.

Oh yeah the game. Well, I have to say that stadium was a sad reflection of the past. I would say it was half full. Wait back up, the car park was half full not even a line to get in and we end up parking about 3 sections closer in. I felt like I was shouting on behalf of the thousands of empty seats. Then to see people start streaming out in the middle of the THIRD quarter. There I was doggedly trying to stay, standing up waving my arms. I was sorely disappointed in section 122. We eventually said, ok we’re going when they get to 50 points. So I missed Gray’s introduction.

Thigpen didn’t have a good game, but we knew a bad one was coming. But the whole team was down. The D was non-existent. Sure LJ fired off a few long runs but. The stat that caught my eye during the game was the number of plays our scoring drives took, around 5 or 6. No long time grinding drives down field. We could barely string half a dozen plays together. That left our rubbish D on the field much quicker than they would have liked. I hope Thigpen is back next week, I don’t think he deserves to take all the blame for this.
