The Most Devastating Postseason Losses for all teams
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1...edium=referral
Figured ours would be 1995 for sure, but it was runner-up. |

It's 1995. I remember watching the 2003 team kinda stumble a bit to the finish and remember seeing that defense just come apart after Mazlowski's knee gave out. Perhaps it was only coincidental, but a bad defense suddenly became abysmal at that point. I knew the 1995 team was going to win the Super Bowl; I just kinda hoped the 2003 squad could make the AFC Championship game before that defense imploded.

Not with Bono, they weren't.
We would have been ****ed up by the Steelers, and if not them, definitely Dallas. In fact, Dallas ****ed us up earlier that year.

Sure, we can say now that a team with Bono wasn't winning shit, but it was a much different league back then and Bono had a solid year. Bono put up 3,000+ yards and a better than 2-1 TD/INT ratio. Hell, didn't he make the Pro Bowl that season? In relation to his peers, he was no worse than Joe Flacco of today and the defense he had was absolutely rabid. Combine that with the fact that there was no high-powered Patriots offense back then and yeah, the Chiefs easily could have, and in my mind should have won the SB that year. Further, the Chiefs by the end of the year had become a far different team than the one that started the year. They truly believed they could beat anyone and that defense was otherwordly. It's easy to say in hindsight that you knew the 1995 team wasn't winning anything, but that wasn't the belief at the time at all.

Super Bowl winners in the 90s: Phil Simms Mark Rypien Troy Aikman Steve Young Brett Favre John Elway Kurt Warner Steve Bono wasn't even on Rypien's level. We weren't winning shit with Bono, or the dogshit receivers we had on that team, and especially not against a team like the Cowboys. That 95 team was a total fluke squad that lucked into about 3 or 4 extra wins.

The question isn't 'most inexcusable', but rather 'most devastating'. In 1995 where you really thinking "Eh, we aren't winning shit with Steve Bono". Say it if you want, but I'll call you a liar. This town had lost its damn mind and everyone knew this was our year after not quite getting over the hump so many times prior. In hindsight it wasn't the worst of the losses, but it was absolutely devastating in real-time. For me, the only real contender to the crown here is the 1993 loss by the Montana-led Chiefs against the Bills. I thought the Bills were ready to get knocked off and after beating both the Steelers and, what appeared to be an absolute juggernaut Oilers team, I was dead certain we were due. We started off that 1st quarter moving the ball pretty well, only to stall both times. Didn't matter - all that proved was that we could move the ball when we needed to... ...then suddenly Joe Montana looked very very old all at once. And then he got concussed. Things looked so great and then in the span of maybe 20 minutes, the whole damn season just blew apart. All the excitement of Joe and Marcus, the dominance of Neil and Derrick...all of it just gone. For pure devastation, the 1993 and 1995 squads dwarf anything that's come afterward.

Yep. I will never forget that one.
I was going to get to go to the super bowl that year if we had won. Still hurts. No wonder I haven't liked fish in a long time.
