Chiefs Anniversary-20 Years ago today-our last playoff win
Time flies when you're having fun!
http://espn.go.com/blog/kansas-city-chiefs KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- I would be remiss on this day of all days if I didn't recall the last playoff game won by the Kansas City Chiefs. It happened Jan. 16, 1994, in Houston, where the Chiefs beat the Oilers 28-20 in a divisional round playoff game. Things were looking up for the Chiefs following their last playoff win -- 20 years ago today. The iconic moment of the game, of course, came when tight end Keith Cash after scoring a touchdown spiked the ball against a poster of Houston's infamous defensive coordinator, Buddy Ryan, that was hanging over the retaining wall. But there were plenty of other huge moments. ESPN recently showed highlights of some of them, including Joe Montana's touchdown passes to J.J. Birden and Willie Davis and the Marcus Allen touchdown run in the final minutes that wrapped up the victory. The Kansas City Star also recently did a nice job in looking back at that game through the eyes of Davis, now a scout for the Chiefs. I was in my rookie season covering the Chiefs for the Kansas City Star. Other than the big plays, my overwhelming recollection was how loud the Astrodome was that day. It was consistently can't-hear-yourself-think loud. That, and this, which was no doubt a thought shared by millions of Chiefs fans: Anything seemed possible for the Chiefs in the moments after that victory. I was convinced, and again I was not alone, that the Chiefs would go to Buffalo for the following week's AFC championship game and beat the Bills. I thought the Chiefs would be winning playoff games for years to come. History has turned out differently for the Chiefs. They lost to the Bills in a blowout the next week and they also lost their seven subsequent playoff games. Some of those games have been lopsided, some could have been won by the Chiefs had any number of close plays gone their way. As any Chiefs fan can attest, none of those plays have gone Kansas City's way. It's been eight straight losses and 20 seasons since. And though the details of the playoff win over Houston remain vivid, that game really doesn't seem like yesterday, does it? |

The life of a Chiefs fan. Living in the past because it is all the Chiefs give us. The past.
Personally, I think the best we can ever hope for is to do what the Bills and Eagles did. Close but no cigar.

Did something happen 20 years ago that cursed us? Has there been research to figure out what could have happened? Players open a tomb? Hunt sell his soul? Some wrongdoing to a person?

Ah, Doom (the first one) was released just a few weeks before that. Perhaps an omen.

The wife and I were in the first row in the end zone. JJ Birden made that catch right in front of us. Still have the VHS tape with us celebrating on the end zone camera shot. The next week when Keith Cash spiked the ball at the Buddy Ryan poster I went nuts.....God I feel old now.......Why did click on this thread? ....I feel sick.....
