Once-great offense now only a memory: Kansas City Star

Some great lines in that article.

The Chiefs defended the Bengals’ no-huddle offense more or less the way earthlings in science-fiction movies defend against aliens with ray guns — you know, by running around and yelling, “Aieeee!”

Edwards coaches so conservatively, there are tax cuts written into the playbook.

The Chiefs will go back to the game we lovingly (and not-so-lovingly) called “Martyball”

"Now? The offensive line is much older — three of the five linemen are older than 30, and Brian Waters is almost 30 — and you can’t knock around defenders forever."

When you add in Roaf and Welbourne retiring(and they must've had a clue, and certainly about Welbourne's drug suspension!) passing on Winston Justice in the draft was criminal, and has all the earmarks of Coach Jerk Chicken's inability to understand the importance of the OL. To think you can suit up Crazy Kyle Turley off the street after 2 years out of the NFL at LT is just stupidity. And then you go and give old man Law a king's ransom for what? Andre Dyson is better right now. Once again, the DB and DL gets the assets and cap room, the OL gets crumbs. And it doesn't work.

Marco Cvaka might get the call at his drive thru station any moment.

It’s hard to imagine how Herm Edwards’ debut could have been worse.

Imagine it? We lived it- for five years.

I suppose, on the bright side, nobody forgot their shoes in the locker room. It’s something to build on.

Everything else went wrong, including the Chiefs’ uniform choice. They wore white uniforms at home for the first time ever. What? I realize that Edwards wanted to break away from the past, but the Chiefs were 65-23 wearing red in Kansas City the last 11 years. Home whites at Arrowhead? Sheesh. This is like Drew Carey saying, “I’ve had enough of the thick glasses.”

After that fashion faux pas, the Chiefs fumbled the ball on the second play of the season. Dante Hall fumbled a punt.

Herm forgot to hand out the tidy wipes after the buffalo wings!

The offensive line allowed seven sacks. Trent Green was knocked unconscious for 11 minutes by a vicious hit that must not have happened because the officials didn’t throw a flag. The Chiefs defended the Bengals’ no-huddle offense more or less the way earthlings in science-fiction movies defend against aliens with ray guns — you know, by running around and yelling, “Aieeee!”

“It’s all correctible,” was Herm Edwards overall synopsis of the 23-10 loss.
