The '69 Chiefs: A defense for the ages
 

It's a very long read, but very good. If Q, **** off.

I'm ****ing tired of reading about the old championship teams and seeing the old ass 1969 champions flag at the stadiu

It's time to update the memories everyone reflects on

Super Bowl L is ours lolz

let's live in the past

69 hahaha

I could just hear Lanier saying that stuff as I read the article. The man speaks with more flourish than most people do in writing.

Sad that the Chiefs wrote the book, then promptly set it on fire with flammable AIDS.

That article was very well written. I wish I would have been just a tad older when we won it all so I would have been paying more attention and could remember it better.

Boo ****ing Hoo! It's our only championship. I loved it. Thanks for posting!

I wonder how time will treat our current defense.

I think Poe and Houston are the premier players at their respective positions in the NFL and the only thing between them and the HOF is time. It's a shame cancer hit Berry, or the argument could be made that we have 3 of the leagues premier players on the defense.

Maybe Bailey grows into that kind of praise as well...he has made big leaps the last 2 years and is extremely hard to block with 1 man. He has the physical tools, for sure...and his improvement shows he has the work ethic, too.

Derrick Johnson is probably in the conversation for the best ILB in the NFL (prior to injury)..hopefully he can return and give us 2 years of solid play while grooming his replacement to be as outstanding as he was/is.

I know I'm probably alone on this one, but I think that if Dee Ford can stay healthy, he will be a tier 1 pass rusher...but needs to learn a lot to be a full time defender that isn't a liability. If he can learn some things from Hali and Houston, he has a chance to be an amazing player.

Hali has been one of the league leaders over the last 5 years in combined sacks, hurries and pressures. He has also grown from a "pass rusher only" to being an outstanding all around defender...though his career is obviously winding down...but he has the attitude at this point that he wants to teach the young guys (namely Dee Ford) to be better than him once they take over and that should keep him fresh going into the twilight of his nfl career.

Is it possible that over the next 5 years, this current defense adds a couple more pieces and becomes an all time great defensive unit?

I guess time will tell, but I lean towards yes.

Loved the old days...that's when you got dirty playing football.

my dad was 14 yrs old then

:LOL:

My Dad would have been 48.

I've got an idea...why don't you poor self-pitying mother ****ers just go find another team to root for and quit hanging out on this board altogether?

I have a better idea; why don't the Chiefs pull their heads from their asses, stop "trying", and start ****ing DOING.

They might as well be the ****ing Browns or Lions at this stage in the game.

Go Chiefs
