Probably. Maybe we should have the type of team that doesnt RELY on kickers to win games. Thinking back to 1995, had we actually played football, we might not have needed to rely on ol' greasy toe elliott.[/i]

The reason we had to rely on Elliot was because our skill players were Steve Bono, Willie Davis and J.J. Birden, none of which belonged in the NFL as starters for any team, let alone the Chiefs. RRBC didn't help either.[/i]

yeah, during that 13-3 regular season we relied on Elliott a lot didnt we? As I recall, we had some close games but in the end won most times NOT the result of Elliott. Our TEAM led the league in rushing offense scoring, defense and turnover ratio. None of which showed up in that Indy game. Maybe we should have played like we did in the regular season rather than hide our heads in the sand like Marty allways did in the playoffs. But I digress...

The above replies are what I was referring to. In number 46 I stated that our playoff failures were due to a lack a skill position talent and I mentioned STEVE BONO.
In your reply # 47, you insinuate that we had enough talent to win in the playoffs with the talent we had but that Marty Schottenheimer was at fault, "for having his head in the sand".
Admittedly, you did not say he Steve Bono was good enough to win the Superbowl here, but you did insinuate that he was good enough for the Chiefs to win in playoffs. <BR>
