Ladies and Gentlemen, if any of you had hope that the Chiefs were going to beat the Colts tonight, you were greatly mistaken. I'm not saying that because we lost, but because so many things went against us tonight.
1. The Chiefs have not beaten the Colts in a playoff game since 1985. Its Been 21 years since we have beaten them in the playoffs, and of all years you expect us to break that streak, its this year?
2. Jordan Black. All season he has been run over by whatever defense we've played. You can't blame him however, because after the preseason and game 1, only Carl Peterson would let him play.
3. Trent Green, NOT. Green had no time in the backfield. It would not have mattered if a 25 year old Joe Montana was back there tonight, he'd still have gotten sacked 3 times. Green is old however and it is his time to go, but anyone who wants to blame this loss on Green forgets that he had (on average) two seconds in the backfield. Peyton Manning had 7-8 seconds.
4. Sammy Parker and Eddie Kennison. Anyone see those passes they caught? If you did please fast forward to post-season wild-card weekend. It doesn't matter if they can run a mile or jump a mile high, a wide-reciever who can't catch is just there for looks. Fire both of them and replace them with two guys who can catch, it doesn't matter if they can't run 20 yards without being caught if they can get the ball for 5 yards every time they are out-producing Parker and Kennison.
But the foremost reason we lost against the Colts and this season is number five on the list.
5. Offensive Coordinator Mike Solari. Go back to the offensive line coaching job Solari. Here is your gameplan, I'm giving it away so that you'll have to do something different next season:
First: Run the ball twice, once up the middle and then to the right-side in a slant.
Second: Throw the ball. Not to Tony G. , he could get five or ten yards. Throw it to Kennison or Parker, who will 80% of the time drop the ball, but that other 20% they do something special.
There, thats our offensive gameplan. I hope every defensive coordinator in the league reads this because next season if Solari is still in the O-Coordinators job, he'll most likely stick to it.
Good Luck in 2007. Hopefully the Hermann Edwards reads these forums and understands he won't win with this current team.
