“Anytime you can create competition. That was one that opened a lot of eyes. We hadn’t drafted a receiver number one since Carlos Carson. It was good for them and we feel pretty good with Bowe.”

Uh, didn’t Kansas City draft Sylvester Morris #1 all the way back in 1999? I believe the head coach & general manager that did the drafting, Gunther Cunningham & Carl Peterson, are still on the team, but thanks for trying.

That comment wasn’t nearly as big a deal as Herm’s next one:

“If we score 21 points, I’ll say, ‘Whoa, we scored a lot of points.’ Twenty-one points – that’s a lot of points. Thirty points? That isn’t even a football game. That’s Arena Football. We’re talking about real football.”

Well, yes, when you render your viral offense impotent, 21 does seem like a lot. Herm should have been fired on the spot. There are so many things wrong with that stupid statement I could write 21 columns about it. Kansas City will never win a Super Bowl with this moron.

I can’t believe the KC media hasn’t lit him up over this. Did Herm go high-5 himself after the 8 point playoff abortion last January?

“We’re talking about real football.”
- Yes we are Herm. Good Job.

Game 1: Chiefs at Texans

In my last column, I said this was a must-win for the Chiefs, and unfortunately Herm and King Carl have proven me right, again.

In the first game of the 2007 season, the final score was Houston 20…
“That’s a lot of points.”
- Yes it is Herm, for Houston.

… and the Chiefs 3.
“We’re talking about real football.”
- You are Herm, in your Lisa Nowack reality.

Just when I thought Kansas City had the worst game, the 8-point-it’s-all-Trent Green’s-fault playoff at Indianapolis, THEY KEEP PLAYING!!

All preseason we heard aboot the VANILLA offense. “Just wait until the regular season starts”, they said. “Just wait till we open the playbook”, they said. Now what is the excuse?

Houston is a bottom dweller, and we made them King. Mario Williams was a bust, until yesterday. Now, they had to stop working on the Brodie Croyle wing of the Hall of Fame to start working on Mario’s.

I’m going to now pick at random, other NFL players, and compare them to current Chiefs who played yesterday. Let’s see, my first completely at random pick:

Trent Green MIA – 219 yds., 1 TD, no INTs
Damon Huard – 168 yds., Zero TDs, 2 INTs

My second completely at random pick:
Dante Hall STL – 84 yd. kick return
Eddie Drummond – fumble that led to 3 Houston points

And my third random comparison:
Lawerence Tynes NYG – 2 FGs of over 40 yds.
Medlock – misses a 30 yd. FG

Only once in Herm’s coaching career has he ever started better than 1-2, and this year could be worse. Clark Hunt needs to stand up now and clean house (except for Gunther). For Herm to make his 21 point comment…

“That’s a lot of points.”

….and follow it up with a 3 point effort at a venue where we normally score 45 points…

“That’s Arena Football.”

….is pathetic. Especially coming off a pre-season where they only score TWO TDs in four games, and an 8 point playoff game. That’s 3 TDs in 6 F’N GAMES! Then you throw in the fact that Kansas City had the #1 scoring offense in the league when the great Herm Edwards was hired and I see someone clearly overly qualified to be a current ex-Chiefs coach.

It all starts at the top, and we are in year 19 of King Carl’s five-year plan, and there have been ZERO championships. But hey, who cares? Our goal wasn’t to win, it was to limit Larry Johnson’s carries and besides, we were on HBO!

Black Sunday
I have a proposal for Chiefs fans to show our disgust for the current GM and coaching staff (minus Gunther) at the home opener against Minnesota.

Everyone has a black Chiefs jersey or shirt, so let’s wear them. Instead of a sea of red at Arrowhead, it will be a sea of black. The sooner we can get Carl I’m-Running-A-Business Peterson, Mike I-Know-What-I’m-Doing Solari and Herm How-Can-I-Blame-This-Loss-On-Trent-Green Edwards out of here, the sooner we can hire Bill Cowher

Chicago Bears
Here we have the movable object versus the resistable force. Bears win 2-0, and there are 18 turnovers in the 1st half as neither team wants the responsibility of actually scoring points.

I was going to go to this game, but why would I spend $75 dollars to watch the self-destruction of the team I love so much. Why would anyone?
