First: Herman Edwards was a horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE, HC in every area that matters. His team did not get up for big games (playoff or division) and he had no clue at all how to "manage" a game.

He had no ability to respond immediately to how the defense or offense ways playing. Complete disconnect in game. Horrible clock management (not just here but in NY as well.) Horrible "feel" for the game or what was or wasn't the right decision at the time.

That said, he's an excellent scout of talent. Always has been. He should be hired by someone right now. He's as ****ing far off the ranch as anyone can be but he knows players and knows how to find them.

I'd pay him top dollar to be our head of scouting (is that even a position? I'm not sure. But I'd make him the Tzar of that. You're the Tzar of scouting.)

This year, I just want to have fun watching the Chiefs on Sundays. Seriously, I can wait on the playoffs if they can make it so I care again.

That's the way I see it too...10 wins. Reid and Dorsey have brought a determined, competent, common sense thought process to the team. They made the right #1 pick and there was a 50-50 chance of blowing it. Grabbing Bray was a really smart thing to do. But the summary provided above does indeed translate to winning. There is still some garbage on the roster but we made huge strides since January.

The thing I'm afraid of is how long it takes for the team to start gelling and playing within the new systems. I'm afraid we could 1-3 after the Giants game, but if they start to get it together then, before a rash of easier games, this team could easily compete for the AFC West or a wildcard.

And the defensive line scares me.... we'll see I guess.

I was at that game

I heard that in 2011 and 2012.

Don't tell anyone, I mean ANYONE I told you this but...the DL doesn't mean jack squat if you have 3 solid pass-rushing LB's...

Right right. Because Alex Smith's 49'ers team early on were good teams you know. Like the one who got the 1st overall to draft him was loaded for years.

One guy has played in 37 games in his career and the other 80 but yea the sample size is equal.

The only talented teams he has played on coincide with his RISE in performance.

Lets use stats when you want and ignore them when you dont want to like ignoring Smith being the highest rated passed in the league through 10 games last year before the concussion.

Matt Moore is so good he is not going to be starting anywhere next year barring a Tannehill injury.

Assuming we somehow tackle the running back for a loss on first down of course.

I hate Herm for destroying one of the best offenses in the history of the NFL.

At that point it was rotten and full of teh 'mites and he just lit it on fire.

And he hired the best guys to fix it. He spent good money on it. He just woke up one day and realized he was Corey Haim...

We don't have anything close to SF's D. Willis, Bowman, Justin Smith, Aldon Smith, used to have Gholdson.

We don't even compare talent-wise. If you watch us, then watch them, it's night and day.

Herm didn't destroy it. Injuries and age leading to the end of Trent Green, Priest Holmes, Larry Johnson, Willie Roaf, and Will Shields, among others destroyed it.

that illegal hit on Gaither still fires me up.
Can't believe there wasn't a call; and or a fine.

if that shit happened to Manning or Brady there would probably be a flag, fine, and suspension for trying to kill the NFL's Golden Goose.

That is bullshit. I would have been thrilled if he had drafted a QB and broken the 30 year mold of failure. There was never a bigger optimist to hit this board than me, but I am sick of same old crap.

Now shouldn't you run along and chug some kool-aid? :D
