Croyle and the rest of this season?

[greg3564]

This is a harsh opinion, but I'm throwing it out there.

So when do we start Croyle? The last game of the season? Unless they draft offensive linemen and acquire some talent off the market(which they won't) the O will be just as terrible next year as it is this year. So do it now. Yes, it will be tough. It will also show what he's made of in toughness and mentality.

They knew they had issues going back to last year and even the pre-season. Did they bring in any starting free agents? Nope. Did they draft any potential starting O-line players? Nope.

Herm and Peterson keep telling us that the team needs to be younger but keep bringing in old talent. ie Law, Surtain, Turley, etc. Instead they invested a boat load of money into an ineffective RB in Larry Johnson who didn't even have the decency to honor his contract. That guy is another T.O. and Moss and infects the locker room like a virus. They should have kept Bennett and sent his sorry a$$ packing when he pulled that. Call Vermeil what you want, but he brought in good decent players you liked and they performed for him. He didn't like LJ and I guess we're starting to see why.

Personally, the rest of this season is a wash. Yeah, we might win the West, but it sure isn't anything to brag about like past years. That will be it, because we can't even come close to competing in the playoffs. Start Croyle, maybe rotate some developing O line players and let's give the "QB of the future" some experience and serious playing time.

Huard will not win us a Superbowl, the O line will not win us a Superbowl and a strong defense alone will not win us a Superbowl. I want a Bowl appearance and I really could care less about winning the AFC West. I think we sell ourselves short and are settling for less if all we really care about is the AFC West. We as fans need to demand more.

I'm so disappointed this year. I knew we would struggle, but not to this extent. There are so many problems that this team needs to address. All the way from ageing corners, ageing QB and a failure of an effective O line. They need to really, really shake something up now! You also never hear if Huard has even taken a leadership role in this team.

They lucked into it. It certainly wasn't skill. Too many things had to happen or not happen in order for us to get in. It wasn't up to us to get in, it was up to others winning/losing.

More than 3 teams lose every week. Just because the Chiefs were in position to take advantage with 9 wins doesn't mean they "backed in".

"backing into the playoffs" would have been if the Chiefs had lost also. Then, the Broncos and those other teams who LOST would've "backed in". The Chiefs won.

They didn't lose. It was definitely skill that put them in position to take advantage that last week, earlier in the season.

The Chiefs took what those others didn't want. It's funny. Never heard this complaining about making the playoffs till we lost.

Gotta love bandwagon jumpers.

i wish people knew what "backing into the playoffs" meant. That's not what the Chiefs did last year.

It most definitely wasn't "backing into the playoffs". It was slightly worse than that.

When you "Back in", at least you were ahead of everyone and sropped a game, to make it into the playoffs. What we did was we were the last possible team to be able to make it, and since all of the other teams "backed out", we wnt by default.

Speaking of bandwagon jumpers... You seem to be positioning yourself for an "I told you so" if the Chiefs miss the playoffs, while also positioning yourself for the "I told you so", if they make it.

"I told you mediocre wasn't good enough." Or "I told you that Herm could get us to the promised land"

I'm just saying, the NFL and pro sports in general is a multi-billion dollar industry...you think everything is on the up and up? NBA refs? MLB steroids? You think the worst problem the NFL has is dog fighting?

Too much money is involved.

Huh.

Just Huh.

????

The Chiefs did what it took to get into the playoffs, and then HERM had no gameplan to do anything about BOOB SANDERS!!!

WE SHOULD HAVE WON THAT GAME AND THE SUPERBOWL LAST YEAR!!!!!!

Bandwagon jumper? My god, yet another person judging others' fandom. Makes me sick. I'm still here, aren't I?

Our offense leaves a lot to be desired, and our D is still letting down their guard when it matters.

Our offense isn't led by Al Saunders right now. Nor is it experienced or executing.

Our defense is fine. They're young they're a top 10 defensive unit. Best in the red zone. Great in run defense. Young at safety and old at CB.

It'll take at least another offseason to address everything wrong with this team...and that's if we don't still need a QB after this year. Of course we'd have a better idea if Croyle was in...but that was 8 pages ago.

I won't even fix your reply.

We went because we won.

If we had lost we would not have gone.

I didn't fix wnt because it might be some new kind of slang.

This I can agree with you on. I've been about starting Croyle from the get-go. I won't get into that though. Beating a dead horse.

Heh!

wasn't talking about you...or anyone here in regards to cheering for the Chiefs. More like small things like whether to fire herm or go with which QB and stuff like that.
