maybe…but maybe you could have taken a slight chance and thrown the guy a little 3 yard pass. Tony deserved to get this in front of the Chief’s crowd and we deserved it as fans. But at least when he broke the TD record last year it was in Arrowhead.

The risk about throwing a 3 yard pass is about the same as running the ball. I doubt that the Broncos were going to triple team Gonzalez when the Chiefs were winning by two scores and were trying to run out the clock. I really just think this is pretty bush league and once again shows that Herm doesn’t know how to manage the game. Can you think of a better way for that game to end? It was already pretty jacked in there and that would have made it go crazy. Even i knew he was close (I was at the game) and i didn’t have anyway to know other than guessing how many yards he had and how many he needed. Tony doesn’t speak out unless he is really pissed and this is not a good way to treat him. I really disliked Herm before this and this certainly doesn’t help

Especially when the Chiefs are throwing them.

but I would rather have the win. If the Chiefs were in a 3rd down situation, they would have thrown it to Tony. But LJ took care of that for them by busting out two big runs. They got up by 2 scores, and then Denver had the ball the rest of the way.

game, the Chiefs scored six points on field goals and missed another. The Chiefs should have had 21 points at that time instead of 6. Had they done so, the score at the end of the game would not have been so close. As it was, Herm should have risked a short thee yard pass to Tony. Tony deserved it. He is the greatest to ever play the game. He will probably never wear a championship ring from all his years in K.C. He also has the best hands of any tight end to ever play the game. Why not throw him the ball and make a statement to his young team. Instead Herm just comes off looking like the paranoid fool that he is.

19 + 7 = 33

Nope, still doesn’t compute.

The question is not do you pass the ball with two minutes to go in the game. The question is not whether the win is more or less important than one man. Arguably, one of the greatest Chiefs to ever play for this organization should have had the opportunity to share his recording breaking catch with the Chief Nation much earlier in the game.

Let us not make more of this one win than what it truly is. One of a few we will experience this season. This is a team of young talent that will do many things to amaze us as well as disappoint us. This one win will not propel us into the playoffs or dare to mention the Super Bowl. This organization had a chance to show they are still one of the class franchises in the NFL despite its won/loss record…they chose not to do so.

Let’s not be naive, Tony Gonzalez is a very well paid player in the Nation Football League. He also had the opportunity to be paid as much if not more by other teams who have a much better chance of playing in the Super Bowl than our Chiefs. He stayed with the Chiefs fans and the Kansas City Chief organization. He stayed HERE. One man, one team, one career is such a rarity in this day and age of sport.

That moment, when Tony breaks the record, he will raise himself to his feet and hold the ball high in the air, and share his moment with millions of Chiefs fans and the lucky few fans that will be at Bank of America Stadium in North Carolina.

Agree or disagree, it does not change the fact that the moment will never present itself again at Arrowhead Stadium. I’m sure the Chiefs organization will make some feeble attempt to present Tony with a token of their appreciation for his accomplishment. It will fail miserably compared to the moment that never was at Arrowhead. They chose not to do so.
