Edwards, Peterson take blame for Chiefs woes

Herm Edwards invited blame Tuesday for what is becoming a dismal finish to his second season as Chiefs coach.

He said it was OK if some fans skipped Sunday’s home finale; he would understand. He said the Chiefs’ six-game losing streak and 4-9 record are not results of poor efforts from players or coaches — the two or three nights he spends in his office at Arrowhead Stadium are proof of that.

General manager and team president Carl Peterson heard it all. Then Peterson said the blame should fall on his shoulders.

“At the end of the day,” Peterson said, “the buck stops here. I think I understand our fans’ impatience and disappointment. I feel the same way. But everything that happens in this organization … it all ends up on my desk.

“The ultimate responsibility is mine.”

Peterson said he plans to evaluate all team personnel after the season, including himself. He said Tuesday that he would give himself “not a good grade” for this season. Peterson, in his 19th season with the organization, said he would examine his entire body of work but “absolutely” would resign if convinced that he or his decisions had become a detriment.

As for Edwards, Peterson said Tuesday, the coach’s job is safe.

“I think he’s the right guy,” Peterson said.

he is still #1 and ppl try and tell him how he needs to do the show.

you think if he changed formats, he would still have as many listners?

ok maybe he would, something we cant know unless it actually happened..but i sure doubt he would.

I'm not telling him how to stay #1, and I haven't seen anyone else here try to do so. I'm telling YOU, why I can't stand him and now listen to Sean Hannity or Mark Levin

well i am glad you like mark levin. for the record, rush and mark levin are actually best friends. Levin was even going to quit radio and rush talked him into staying.

I like sean hannity as well, he is a good student of rush.

I've never said I didn't agree with Rush, I just find him to be a bit prickly of personality for my preference. I find the other two to be gentlemen towards those who agree or disagree with them. I don't doubt that a lot of Rush's "bravado" on the air is an act, it's still obnoxious.
