KD in CA Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 But he's a hero if they make it. Plus, they should have called defensive holding on the play. Gonzo was clearly held on his pattern.
Dan Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Yeah. Why not get the tie and try your luck in OT? I guess when you're 1-7 wins and loses don't matter.
meazza Posted November 10, 2008 Author Posted November 10, 2008 But he's a hero if they make it. Plus, they should have called defensive holding on the play. Gonzo was clearly held on his pattern. I agree with the "He's a hero if they make it" but I wouldn't make that same call being a coach. But as he once said, "YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME "
/dev/null Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Plus, they should have called defensive holding on the play. Gonzo was clearly held on his pattern. The refs let that go as payback/balance for the earlier phantom PI at the 1
drg2021 Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Should be fired THERE GONNA LOSE,BUT REALLY WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO LOSE.GOOD CALL BY HERM IF YOU ASK ME.SEE THOSE ARE THE BALLS THAT JAURON DEFINATELY DOESNT HAVE
The Dean Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Yeah. Why not get the tie and try your luck in OT? I guess when you're 1-7 wins and loses don't matter. Especially if you are going to run that play. I love the boldness of the call...but, then you look and realize it's Thigpen at the trigger, and he's running around with little idea of what he should do. Either you have a very good designed play for that, or you kick the extra poing.
BuffaloWings Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Yeah. Why not get the tie and try your luck in OT? I guess when you're 1-7 wins and loses don't matter. That's the point. He really had nothing to lose and was given a gift on a phantom pass interference call (a la Ed Hochuli's gaffe in Denver) that got KC to the 1 yard line. Herm took a page out of Mike Shanahan's book. Had KC converted the 2 points, the entire city of San Diego would have lynched the office of the NFL's head of officiating.
stevewin Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Bet he doesn't go for it if Shanahan hadn't earlier this year and been exaulted as a courageous hero for doing so. Now it is popular to call that decision courageous when in this case esp I think it was a total BS decision

Nyghtewynd Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Herm will be the first coach fired in the offseason, and rightly so. No NFL coach has accomplished less with more. And I'd still rather have him than Dick. Good work, Ralph.

KD in CA Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 The refs let that go as payback/balance for the earlier phantom PI at the 1 Good point. That was a b.s. call.
Max997 Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Should be fired why because he had the balls to go for the win? Im not a fan of his but i liked the call to go for it but the play call was terrible...there was no way it was going to be a run, san diego was playing pass and they called a college inside fake play action pass that was going to Gonzalez but it didnt fool anyone
Max997 Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Herm will be the first coach fired in the offseason, and rightly so. No NFL coach has accomplished less with more. you sure about that? what exactly does Herm have in KC? What exactly did he have in NY? Marvin Lewis is the definition of doing less with more
HeyNowBuffalo Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Should be fired And what if San Diego becomes a factor in the wild card?... Granted they could have won in OT, but I'd hate to be the team that loses out because Edwards tried to make a statement...
marauderswr80 Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 I applaud Herm Edwards for making that call at the end of the game. Your 1-7 most likely going to be fired end of the year. What the hell, go gamble baby!
BB2004 Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Should be fired A team that is 1 and 7 and really is going no where this year, I don't think it was a bad call. Maybe the play was not a good play called for the two point conversion, but overall maybe it was worth taking that chance.
Erik Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Should be fired That's the advantage we have in two weeks. If we think Jauron is bad, he could always be Herm Edwards...
