It feels like the wind is being sucked out of Chiefs’ Planet sails … Fans’ anger and passion can only be sustained for so long before turning to apathy. Ironically, fans not caring about the team is worse for the club’s owners’ than fans being angry – because they will just tune out completely. Once lost, fans may not return. The empty, quiet seats at Arrowhead against the Titans speak loudly.
Those fans, like the ones on this site who remain interested, need to make sure that fans can be classified in only two categories: apathetic or dedicated. Even though it gets more difficult to care about Herm’s shortcomings, this site will not relent – when all is quiet, during the off-season, the draft – this site will ceaselessly fly it’s flag the same direction. FIRE Herm (and Peterson and Solari). So, in keeping with tradition, here’s why Herm belongs in his “tolerance box” after the Titans’ game.
1. Bringing back Drummond (in fact bringing in Drummond in the first place); 2. Fielding a poorly prepared team (for proof see, loads of penalties, missed tackles, and numbers 3 to the end in this section); 3. Inability to make half-time adjustments (in fact opening the second half with the ball and moving away from what was working in the first half and going 3 & out); 4. Calling the lateral out-pass for 2 yards more than once; 5. Failing to use success in the passing game to open up the running game more (bring balance); 6. Apparent lack of practice focusing on the passing game (Herm built the team around LJ and the run and now that LJ is gone practice should focus on routes and throwing and catching – all of which looked rusty), and; 7. Blowing out your promising defense by keeping them on the field too long with poor game planning.
Apathy abounds, but not here… Although “real life” gets in the way of posting sometimes, this site will remain a beacon to anyone awash in apathy. Keep finding your way back here.
