You do have some great tools on the KC offense, LJ, Bowe and Gonzalez were mentioned, but I'd also suggest that Sippio has been underutilized as well as Grigsby as a potential lead back. However part of the reason these players are being underutilized is that Herm is trying to control the ball and the clock to give his defense the time they need on the sideline to continue to succesfully stop the opponent.
As for the 3-and-outs, the Chiefs actually have been better about that the few weeks leading into the bye week...
You mention that the game was meant for entertainment...I'd argue that entertainment is in the eye of the beholder...I like Country music...you probably don't. You might find a Alan Jackson concert boring...I wouldn't. You like offense and scoring...I like defense and hitting.
i can appreciate that you find this style of play "boring"...I'll just suggest that many older NFL fans appreciate the "ball-control" and tough defense...
I am a 49er fan and trust me I know a little bit about winning, but also about losing (check our record the last 5 years)...
I don't think Herm will get canned, as he will continue to deliver 7-10 wins year in and year out. If he can put together an offensive line that can dominate he'll be able to run his playbook and have better success...
In the meantime the "offensive minded" fan will likely find KC football less entertaining...but when he wins 9 or 10 games this year, I think you'll like the end result.
