Emmitt said it best. We got “DEBACLED”

By: Herschel | August 3rd, 2009

To quote College Football Hall of Famer and ex-ESPN analyst Emmitt Smith, we got “debacled” on Saturday. We were a team with no personality, no heart, making stupid mistake after stupid mistake and it seems that we are a team, unless things change drastically, that will not see the playoffs this year. I will not go into the specifics of the game since the video below says it all.

We got run off the field by a team that lost its main offensive threat when Kenny Cooper left. The other guy our team needed to watch for was Jeff Cunningham; we watched him so well that we decided to watch him score 4 times on us and our team made him look like he could have played with Barcelona that night in LA instead of in Dallas.

I will say what I had mentioned a few months back: it seems that the kool aid that Onalfo is serving is not the same one the players want to drink. Change is needed and fast but I doubt it will come fast enough; at this point I’d vote to just go ahead and play alot of the reserves the rest of the year with the players we know we will keep, so the new coach sees what he has and then just let him, and the new TD just clean house. Yes, that means you too must go Mr. Vermes.

Player Ratings:
-2 across the board for everyone except for McKenzie and Hirsig (6 giveaways that have led to a goal) who deserve a 0.

The Ref:
Although this score can in no way be blamed on the ref, I would like to point out to Mr. Chapin that although he does look kind of “girlish” himself (no offense to girls all over the world) and would not seem to be someone that takes part in physical sports, in soccer, when 2 players are fighting and struggling for the ball with no pulling of jerseys and the bigger player “outmuscles” (new word for Mr. Chapin) the smaller one like it happens all over the world, there is no reason to call a penalty; that is what we call PLAYING SOCCER! Hopefully, for your safety Mr. Chapin, you are not a FIFA certified ref that could eventually go to any CONCACAF country and officiate a game, since I can tell you right now, people are killed for stupid calls like that.

Here are the lowlights of the game.

    That fourth option, “Dallas was just too much”… that’s funny stuff.

    I’m leaning towards on option like “air and water of KC”, since it seams Royals’ and Chiefs’ players breath and drink them as well.
    Onalfo should go right. Having a sub coach will make looking for a new HC easier and by season’s end, the deal should be sealed and the new coach can start working right away.

    I have to preface this with I couldn’t watch this game it was so bad. But, I have seen this coming for a few weeks now. Onalfo isn’t playing the smoothing attacking style that he started with 2 years ago. There is no urgency to score goals at every oppertunity. There is no consistant passing. There is no desire to win. I don’t even see the effort and heart from players that in the past have played harder than most, Gomez, Wolff, Arnuad.

    It is good to here that this morning Curt Onalfo is no longer the coach. I just hope that this season can be salvaged and the on-the-field play can be improved.
