Oh how I remember those days, I even babysat Len Dawson's children. I do not think Herm Edwards needs to be telling the Chief's fans to be patient, gosh, that ticked me off. I have seen him gruffly, on tv interviews, do that twice, and I don't like it, man have we been patient for years. and aren't we paying his pay check? I live in Springfiled Missouri now, but aren't you tax payers paying boocoo bucks for redoing the stadium. Who is running the team anyway, I think Herm Edwards should go on tv, in prime time sports and apologize to us all, including the players. Have something positive to say, and make sure it's true. Thank you, Kimmie I have been watching and rooting for the Chief’s since 1963, and I am a 52 year old woman. Oh how I remember those days, I even babysat Len Dawson’s children.

Positive or negative, I enjoy them all the same. I think there is a misconception of me switching my feelings towards Herm remaining with the Chiefs after this year. I was not in any way trying to vindicate him or his performance as a head coach, but I do try to give credit where it is due, and I think Herm did an outstanding job of coaching last week. Will it buy him an extra year? Maybe - it depends on how well this team performs down the stretch. But at the very least, it gave us a glimpse of what this team is capable of becoming if we regain some semblance of patience and allow things to play out. As for Gun, I stand firm in my belief that he is no longer an effective D Coordinator. The defense played well, but much of that had to do with the Broncos offense forcing the ball into double coverage, or running stupid plays like the Brandon Marshall direct snap. We made the plays we needed to win, but if the Broncos offense executes the way they did in their 1st 3 games, we're talking about an 0-4 start right now. Our players were still playing out of position because of poor playcalling by Gun, and I am tired of seeing that happen. We have the talent, but Gun doesn't use it correctly IMO. I won't even dignify McSack by defending my thoughts on him. He's worth about as much to me as a bag of rocks right now, and while he blocked ok last week, I think he's going to get exposed big time again this week against Carolina when he goes up against a real D-line. How many of you will still be fans of his when that happens? Thanks again for all your comments. Keep them coming. First off, thanks for all the comments.

Period. The defense, especially the dangerously thin LB corps, played hella good. Trying to take down Gun right now just makes you look petty and foolish. Kolby Smith for Dixon Dennis. Period.
