I liked the call. 1-8, nothing to lose, conservative coach who needs to shed that label if he wants a chance at a job ever again, a QB having an excellent game.... why not?

You either win the game, or you don't get it, try an onside kick with 30 seconds left and still an outside chance, but likely lose. If the game goes to OT, the Chargers easily win if they win the toss... the Chiefs may or may not have won if they won the toss.

It was an obvious call in my opinion...

Onto the playcall... The designed bootleg was the most obvious call ever, and the Chargers sniffed it out from a mile away. A BETTER call would have been a designed QB run up the gut from a shotgun formation since the ends were cutting outside every play. It worked for Schaub and the Texans a few weeks ago if anyone saw that game, and Thigpen is 100x faster than Schaub.

The Chiefs should never been in a position to be in a 2 point conversion attempt. That pass interference call against Hart was ridiculous. We should have been feeling fortunate to have a 2 point play and Herm made the right decision to go for 2.
I wouldn't get too excited about 400 yards offense either, the Chargers are a sieve defensively.
Chiefs are making progress, we all knew they would not be contenders. Patience.

Actually Chris Mortenson had some stats pulled for the post game show on ESPN and said they both (coin flip and 2 point conversion) were about 50%. Besides, your on the road. Go for the win if you have a shot at it!!!!!!

Sorry Seek, you are not even in the top three of Herm Haters on this board. The real true number one biggest Herm Hater has been absent for a while, but my heart still goes out to him.

You might be number four, but my money is actually on number 5 on the Herm Hater top 5 list.

Don't count me out, even though my name is not HH.. I could be right there... I just don't usually comment about it, and blame everything on Herm. I always view those type of people as shollow minded uneducated people. I don't want the reputation of being one of those constantly negative members. I am trying to be positive.

Trust me, my family knows where I stand, and I have converted them all to my side. No announcer can say one thing positive during a game about Herm without correcting them.

I already did the most I could by not renewing my season ticket vowing to never buy another one until he is fired. I still love this team, and I don't wish for our team to fail, but I do hope there is a way to still succeed and yet fail enough to fire Herm.

People like Thigpen are messing that up, but I love it.

The average completion of 2 point conversion in the NFL is about 39%. I believe 80% the teams who win the coin flip in over time, wins the game. So that would about balance out.

Out of the last four teams who went 2 win the game, 3 of the teams won. The Chiefs being the one team who lost.

None of this would matter had we converted our point after. I can understand college kids misisng the gimme point after, but paid professonals. We win by 1 if we get that.

I don't like this argument because the Chargers would have probably gone for 2 to tie it when they scored with like 6-7 minutes to go.
