haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawt HAWT

[lewdog]

Did anyone else really like Jerome Woods?

[Sofa King]

I remember watching that game in '03. That was awesome.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

god those hats like the one Marty is wearing were fucking ugly.

[WhiteWhale]

Did anyone else really like Jerome Woods?

I think he was a damn good player before he broke his leg in the 2002 preseason. He was a physical player and he never played with the same kind of recklessness after the (horrible) broken leg.

If you don't remember seeing it, it was one of those "The leg doesn't have a joint there!" kind of breaks. Ugh.

[Marcellus]

Did anyone else really like Jerome Woods?

Really good safety, not great but good. Made the PB the year after he should have.

[mlyonsd]

Holy shit. I can still remember standing and yelling in the living room.

[Marcellus]

I remember watching that game in '03. That was awesome.

I rarely have people over to watch games but had a friend who was a Packer fan over for that game.

He was talking big shit then boom, Game over.

I actually don't remember! Yea I just like how reckless he played and he would lay people out back there. Him and Reggie Tongue man.

[crazycoffey]

james hasty. ftw

[lewdog]

Yea I think I just thought he was good because that defense was pretty bad overall. LMAO

[Marcellus]

Hasty was a stud in his day. Loved him.

Makes me think of Mark Collins as well at safety.

[WhiteWhale]

It was horrible. I mean his leg snapped and just bent the wrong way. Most of the times I've seen guys get their legs bent like that, they don't play again.

After the injury he wasn't nearly as fast and seemed to have a weird galloping kind of stride.

[QuikSsurfer]

god those hats like the one Marty is wearing were fucking ugly.

That hat looked fly as shit with my Chiefs starter jacket.

[ForeverChiefs58]

Bring back Marty?

Seriously though, man I miss the days of Smith and Thomas. Chiefs games were so fun to watch back then cause our defense was just smothering. And in case anyone was wondering...Greg Hill was the real deal.

[DaWolf]

Ahh, the legend of Sean LaChapelle.

Damn that was a great D...

[ChiefsCountry]

Did anyone else really like Jerome Woods?

Lawyer Milloy and Brain Dawkins would have been better. Damn our defense would have been even nastier.

[teedubya]

Greg Hill!!! Sean LaChapelle!!!!11

[ForeverChiefs58]

Damn that was a great D...

We had a french white guy at WR that people were actually exicted about. Awesome times.

[Marcellus]

Give Lake Dawson some love.

Last I heard he worked for US Bank in KC.

Good to see he moved up. I personally know a girl who worked with him at US Bank years ago.

She had no idea who he was and knew I was a Chiefs fan and was like do you know who Lake Dawson is?

[Munson]

Damn, that '03 game was awesome. That was one of the most exciting wins in recent memory. I'd give anything to have that '03 offense again.

[prhom]

I was actually at the '96 game. That was the BEST game I've ever been to, anywhere. I think the first play was a 60-yd pass and it was all downhill from there for us. Freaking amazing game.

I was in Germany and listened to it on AFN, then watched the replay a few days later.

It was just a crazy game. The energy in Arrowhead is unmatched when it's that amped up. Denver fans can think mile high is awesome, but arrowhead on that day killed it. I don't hold much hope that'll happen this Sunday, but wow would it be fun for those at the game.

If we flash, even a little, the place will come alive. If the players feed into it, the stadium would become explosive. Even that will probably not help the chiefs that much. It's David and Goliath and even though we would love the underdog win storyline, the odds are very heavy

oh, and I wish I was there that day.

I was there on opening day last year, the win against SD. I love Arrowhead when it's at it's best.

[Lumpy]

Derrick Thomas :deevee:

[KCwolf]

And?

And What Jackass..... Enjoy .....

[jlscorpio]

never got my LaChapelle jersey :-(

I'll bet it was fun that night too! This time we just don't have the firepower. We may get up on the Packers early, but there's just no way we compete for the entire game. Unless they just turn the ball over 10 times we're not winning the game. Maybe next time.

[prhom]

Why not? I had a Vanover jersey at one point and was damn proud of it. Seems really sad now. I don't remember but isn't he in jail for stealing cars or something?

[BossChief]

I think he was involved with Bam Morris' drug ring.

...

That 2003 game was one of the best games Ive seen.

So many swings and a fucking perfect ending for us.

Oh, I agree. BUT, we can dream for the rest of tonight and sat night before reality slaps us across the face with it's big veiny dick and makes us it's bitch...

[Deberg_1990]

I always thought he was pretty blah. Played on some pretty bad Chiefs D's.

[Cheater5]

That's just wrong,man...:huh:

[Deberg_1990]

The 1993 MNF game with the Packers was pretty good too. The Chiefs won. It was Favres first visit to Arrowhead.

Here was the opening....this was the one year that ABC dumped Hank for random music stars. This game got Sammy (what happened to my career?) Kershaw.

Forward to 1:51 for the opening of the Chiefs/Pack game.

I used to have drinks with Mark Collins at the Jersey Shore. Nice guy and a good football player.

Hasty was one tough and nasty SOB :#

[Marcellus]

I remember a time when NFC teams got regularly obliterated at Arrowhead regardless of how good they were, or how bad the Chiefs were.

[beach tribe]

96' game was the first one I ever recorded.
VHS FTW!!!
Must have watched it a million times.
Listen to the crowd!!!

[beach tribe]

03' offense + 96' defense = undefeated until dismantled by age or FAcy.

ya it was awesome, too bad the guy turned out to be an enormous douchebag

[ThaVirus]

I remember that 03 game. So amazing!

And that 96 defense was killer, but what's up with down lineman getting consistent pressure. Is that allowed?

[Agent V]

Christ. Listen to the "we're gonna beat the hell outta you" chant. That place was fucking rocking.

[Rasputin]

Remember when they tried to make or turn Big Foot into a FB? Well that was fun.

[petegz28]

God I miss that Marty defense....

[JCharles1981]

Here's what I noticed:

1. The Chiefs dominated the Packers in 1996 because of the solid defense of guys like Derrick Thomas, Brian Washington, Donnie Edwards, and Neil Smith.
2. The Chiefs dominated the Packers in 2003 because of their solid offense with Trent Green, Priest Holmes, Tony Gonzalez, Eddie Kennison, and the O-line.
3. James Hasty had one great season with the Chiefs, which is why I was surprised his contract got extended after 2 consecutive lousy years following.
4. Steve Bono was very inconsistent and only played to the best of his ability when he wanted to. During the time he was with the Chiefs, more than half the time he was busy throwing interceptions, or overthrowing many of his passes.
5. Trent Green is the closest the Chiefs have come to having as good of a QB as Hall of Famer Len Dawson.
6. If you combine the 1996 Chiefs defense with the 2003 Chiefs offense, they're practically a shoe-in for the Superbowl.

[JCharles1981]

God I miss that Marty defense....

Don't you mean Gunther Cunningham defense? Once he stopped being the Chiefs' DC, the defense began dwindling a little each year until 2003 when they were at their absolute worst.

[Hammock Parties]

And then he came back and our defense sucked horse cock.

Gunther is a big fraud.

[JCharles1981]

No. The real joke was Carl Peterson trying to fool Chiefs fans into thinking that Gunther Cunningham was capable of turning the worst defense ever in the history of the Chiefs into being the best again, but under the mediocrity of HC Herm Edwards. Had Cunningham been DC during the Dick Vermeil years, I firmly believe our defense would not have sucked so bad. Heck, even Romeo Cremmel could have done a better job as DC for them had he been with them early last decade.

A defense has to be at least in the Top 15 before a guy like Cunningham can come in and turn them into one of the best in the league. The Chiefs' defense was already climbing towards the top when Gunther was brought in to take charge over them back in the mid-90's.

[|Zach|]

Sadly those were the golden days. NFC teams used to come into KC not knowing to expect and get raped. Really good ones.

Gunther's defense is trash in Detroit, too.

He's a shitty coach.

[|Zach|]

Wow. Hill had quite a day at the office.

[Chiefspants]

God, I was only four years old at the time and more concerned in issues such as Power Rangers and Model Trains, but why in the hell were we unable to resign Neil Smith?

That has to be one of the harshest betrayals committed by a former Kansas City Chief.

Heck, that combination might be in the running for an undefeated season.

Though my dad is a fairweather Chiefs fan when it comes to them suffering major blowouts, he even agrees they would be unstoppable if those defense and offenses from both eras joined together.

[Archie F. Swin]

I dont remember martyball being that badass. Guess we had our moments.

Agreed.

[BoneKrusher]

Derrick Thomas

Yeah
Derrick made it look so cool to play Defense

[prhom]

This thread must have been good karma. I didn't think we'd be in line for another classic win like this, but the team really came through.

From Greg Hill to Jackie Battleeeeee

[prhom]

I'm thinking a 1996/2011 Chiefs/Packers mashup might be cool. :hmmm:

Agreed! There are a few good plays from today's game worth reveling in. I think my personal favorite was Orton magically "finding" Pope for that long strike. That's the kind of play that Cassel sees and ignores in favor of the check down, and Palko attempts and finds a way to throw an INT.
