Spread It Wrong


Sorry I didn't update the second half of the game yesterday, the female came over and well...you know how that goes...

So about the game yesterday. where do I start? Do we really need another reason to get rid of Herm Edwards at this point? Kansas City wasn't expected to win that game yesterday, we weren't even supposed to be close. Yet, we stayed with New York the entire game. I would argue that we even blew a game that we had in the bag by ditching a highly effective spread that Thigpen could run with extreme ease and precision. In a nutshell, this offense made Thigpen look like NFL material. He was 10/10 with over 120 yards and a touchdown towards the end of the first half. The first half is not what I have the problem with though. Let's continue on to the fourth quarter...

Charles is hurt, BDon has had 2 picks (one a pick six), and KC has the lead with 2 minutes left in the game. First downs, that is all we need is first downs. Now, here is the major plot twist of yesterday's game that no one saw coming, except Herm apparently...

Chan Gailey goes to Herm and tells him that he is ditching the spread offense that has gotten KC this lead in the first place. WHAT?! Are we serious right now? Why? What justifiable reason is there for doing this at this point?

"That's what we thought was best to win the game," Gailey replied. Was Edwards involved with this decision? "My call!" Gailey shouted.

So Herm was in no way involved with this ingenious decision?

"He could've overruled me," Gailey said.

Now KC is 1-6, I'll let the article speak for itself at this point.
