0	Herm just confirmed he is possible the dumbest coach in the NFL with the choice to go for two... its not like they got the touchdown on the team momentum, it was a very bad interference call, and a 3rd down lucky bobble that got Gonzalez the ball in the end zone... any other coach would have seen that and took the field goal as a blessing for a shot in over time...

0	Oh Herm, even with all the injuries your defense suffered you should still have gone for one.

What everyone is forgetting is that if the Chiefs snapper hadn't botched the snap on a previous extra point kick - the 2 point conversion wouldn't be relevant. There are many factors that go into losing/winning a game. Sure, I would've liked Herm to play it "safe" and take their chances in OT but he made a decision and it didn't work, maybe next time it will. But, ultimately this is not the worse thing that Herm Edwards has done and shouldn't even really be an issue.

2	"ultimately this is not the worse thing that Herm Edwards has done" You're right... and it's not even CLOSE to the worst thing he has done. That's the scary part.

San Diego is lucky, that Herm and Gailey were on the the other side of the field. I never thought that the AFC West would have 3 of the worst coaches in the NFL right now (Cable, Norv and Herm)

2	He made the right call. His team is was 1-7 and on the road to a division rival, so he took a risk to try and be the spoiler of the Chargers season. You guys are acting like if they go to OT, they magically turn their season around and make the playoffs. I'd take having 1 play from 2 yards out to win a game against being on the on the road and having to score first.

A lot of teams are lucky that Herm and Chan are on the other side of the field! 3 close games now that we could've, should've won and didn't
