Put it this way, I own TheBoneYard Productions. I promote local Bands in 4 states, I Emcee, I’m a DJ, I am also the local area music news writer for the Dailey Dunklin Democrat, the county paper. I admin TheBoneyard’s Website that also is connected to our local classic rock radio station Z95 The Bone and we are the official forum for the station and if I was to just throw out a bunch of crap about the people that was bad, how far would they succeed?
How far would I succeed?

I sat though some freakin stupid old ass news reel and then smallville for over an hour and a half waiting for the game to start due to rain. And I was impressed with what we did. Anybody got a picture of the gov cup? Anyone happy it’s back home? See, there is a lot of good stuff we could be talking about. And being it was the Rams TV Network I had to watch while wearing my home team red during the game, I think I have just got frustraited with the negativity.

I can understand your frustration, i really do. But I think you might misunderstand some of the “negative speakers” motivations. I believe most of the dissent is just that, dissent with the aim of disseminating what they see as truth for the better good. It’s not about “doom and gloom”, it’s about what’s best for the team that we love. It’s about striving for more.

Unfortunately, we do not get a vote; therefore, mass dissent is one of our only options. I completely agree in the proper amount of support and patience. However, after closely watching 7 years of Herm the head coach, I firmly believe that he cannot bring us what this team needs and that there are better options out there.

I will never stop supporting the Chiefs the team. My disapproval of Herm does not shake my support. My love for the team does not deter me from wanting more for them.

You call yourself fans HA!! I dont care if they go 1-15 I’ll still be a fan. I cant stand Herm sometimes, But as long as they are CHIEFS I’LL ROOT FOR THEM! You guy’s just piss me off, ever thought if someone wasnt pressured by all the negativity that your sinking into your TV and games towards the GM & Herm maybe we could have a change in the win colum. I can see why you want to win and so do I. But I’d rather lose with grace than to win with hate and greed for the people thats not even on the field.

Who gives a shit what herm said..I want to see dorsy slam a qb, I want croyle to throw a freaking TD pass, I want lots of stuff. I dont care what they say. All I know is I’m tired of hearing the trash. A TEAM wins as a TEAM! Do you see a MF’n I.

Get on board the Red & Gold or Get in to the Black & Silver!

I do remember going in to many half times thinking we still had a chance.

It was nice to see a lot of plays using misdirection in the first preseason game, which played a significant role in the past success of our offense. That being said, it looked like they stopped using it over the course of the last couple of games. If Brodie is going to get the time he needs to make a play (which for some reason is several seconds longer than Huard)

Hope for .500, plan for .250, pray for a new GM for Christmas.

Herm indeed has a history of “meddling” with the offense and “hermcuffing” his offensive coordinators. This doomed Solari, who was tapped to “continue” the successful offense and system, while having one arm Hermcuffed. Don’t forget, before the 2006 season Herm was asked (i’m paraphrasing), “Will Solari have freedom in running the offense?”, and Herm responded something like “He will call the plays, but he knows what I expect”. That means the OC lived in fear of not following Herm’s ultra-conservative and predictable style.

It also means he had to strictly follow Herm’s pre-game planning, which, as dennis pointed out, really restricts our ability to make half-time adjustments. Herm’s lack of ability to make proper (or any) in-game adjustments is something I’ve often noticed and harped about. I’m glad I’m not the only one bothered by this.

Anyway, thanks for the support guys/gals.

I may also have an answer for the wonderful statistics that you presented in this commentary. The reason in my opinion for the likeness in stats between the first half and the second half of these games boils down to one thing. Its called HALF TIME ADJUSTMENTS!! Herm appearantly has never heard of this concept. We just play the second half just like the first half. What i like to call “hermball”. Right now i am crossing my fingers that we at least go 4-12.

Thanks again for the great effort and great stats that you present.

Roger Twibell had a great question in the telecast from Miami, when after Novak missed a field goal, he said “How is it that Miami can find a free agent kicker from Montana (Dan Carpenter),that is so effective?” I can answer that, it’s called having people (Parcells) that know what they are doing!
