Most Pathetic Play In Chiefs History

[Direckshun]

Not worst play ever, as in the most significant bad play in Chiefs history.

I mean the one play in Chiefs history that was just so fundamentally terrible from a football standpoint, that it made you honestly question how/why the player(s) that committed it could have landed an NFL career.

My vote:

I believe it was 2007 or 2008, the last year or two of Herm Edwards. I forget who he QB was.

The Chiefs were down to their last play in yet another losing effort to the Colts, but they were only down one score with about sixty yards left to go.

The Chiefs go into a lateral-off, having several players lateral to keep the play alive until, hope against hope, one of them could break off and score.

Brian Waters. Tony G. Then the ball gets to Samie Parker.

Samie Parker dives into the turf, and crawls about three yards until a Colts player walks up and touches him on the shoulder, ending the game.

Brian Waters visibly pissed. Somebody explains to Parker what the fuck he did, and he smiles and laughs with his knees still on the turf.

Beat that, Planeteers.

(I'll get a "most impressive play" thread going after this one runs its course.)

[DaFace]

I'd be amazed if we have anything nearly as good as the butt fumble.

[Fritz88]

For me, it occurred with Haley's predictable play calling.

3 and 10, handoff to Jones.

Jon Baker kicking off out of bounds THREE TIMES vs. Raiders at home under Gunther. Chiefs blow lead and miss playoffs. Raiders go to the playoffs instead.

[suzzer99]

Kimble Anders beach-balling a sure touchdown into an interception right before halftime in the AFC Championship game.

Also giving up like 50 yards on 4th and 10 to Elway on MNF after Stephone Paige's late 80-yd TD and it looked like we were finally going to win one.

Kimble Anders beach-balling a sure touchdown into an interception right before halftime in the AFC Championship game.

You misunderstand the thread.

I'm not asking about significant mistakes: i.e. ones that cost us a playoff trip, or a Super Bowl.

I'm asking about flat incompetency.

There have been a million worse plays than Anders screwing that reception.

That's going to suffer from severe recency bias.

I know it's not one play, but I vote Herm sitting on the ball to preserve the win in a four win season, instead of taking a shot in the end zone so TG could set the yardage record at home.

[Direckshun]

Priest's costly fumble in the no-punt playoff game against the Colts.

Again, we're not targeting meaningfulness in this thread.

We're targeting hilarious incompetence. Priest's fumble happens every other week in the NFL.

I was at that stupid fucking game. Stoyanivich missed a FG that would have won it as well if I remember...

[elwaysucks]

Oh this one is easy for more than one reason...

The Mark Castle interception to Eric Weddle on a screen pass that was mentioned earlier.

Reason 1: It may be the most absurd pass that I have seen in my 33 years of existence on this planet.

Reason 2: As an added bonus, he tried to put on his hat and missed his own head then looked like he was ready to start bawling like the bitch he was. That brief moment in time showcased the ***** era. We all already knew the Patriots West era was a mistake by that time (except for the head-in-the-sand "true fans") but seeing that pathetic display of bitchness during both the pass and the donning of the cap will haunt my nightmares forever.

[redsurfer11]

Not to mention the rainbow he had to put on it to get it to the crossbar.

[Bowser]

Someone post the gif of Cassel shrinking into the fetal position in world record time against the Bills when one of their linemen stunted and had a clean shot at him.

[themanwithnoname]

The entire 4th quarter of one of the Chiefs vs Chargers games in 2008. They were up by like 3 scores, and then blew the game, capped by Bowe flubbing an onside kick.

Another one I vaguely remember is like it was early 2005 I believe, game at Denver. Chiefs had LJ and Priest Holmes. Like 3rd play of the game or something, LJ fucking gives up in the pile and lets a Bronco player take the football.

[Earthling]

Although this probably does not count, for me it was Elvis Grbac's preseason game against the Packers. It was 4th and goal, Grbac scrambles and throws the ball away.

Yeah, he had a hard time counting to 4. There was another game with him spiking the ball on 4th and goal from the 1 yd. line.

[Munson]

Most of the pathetic plays in Chiefs history involve Matt Casshole. :facepalm:

[themanwithnoname]

I feel like I remember LJ not trying at all near the end of his Chiefs career, and just running into the backs of lineman a lot. I think he's the most pathetic player for sure.

Yeah, it was almost like those were designed plays. He'd run into the linemen and then just fucking fall to the ground.

Oh yeah, and who can forget our two tackles just flopping to the ground because of the dumbass o-line coach teaching them that? I believe it was Albert and Richardson, they both just flopped to the ground like they were going for some low block or something, it was pathetic as they didn't even make an attempt at an actual block, they just fell to the ground and the defensive players just hopped over them.

I have no idea what game it was, but one of the awful lineman we had got like 3 holding calls in a row or something. I want to say Jordan Black but its hard to say.

[Bump]

ya that 25 yard hail mary off the goal post might win.

There's been so many that I can't even think of anything.

So many times, 3rd and long and we rush it up the gut for 2 yards. Or dump pass on 3rd and long for 5 yards.

The Herm Edwards playoff game was embarrassing to watch.

The Dewayne Bowe drop that would have beat the Colts is a play I remember. But we like D Bowe, so he can't have the most pathetic play ever.

The 3rd missed field goal in that playoff game might be up there.

[Rasputin]

Any FG attempt by Justin Medlock.

[cdcox]

Without a doubt, it was this:

Probably cost us another Superbowl victory.

[Stanley Nickels]

I think "he who shall go unnamed" missing three kicks under 42 yards could count as the most pathetic and incompetent game from a Chiefs player in history. Even if we ignore the huge implications and catastrophic result to our season, it would still count.

[Chiefaholic]

[Bowser]

We were playing the Broncos at home in the mid 90's. Right before half, Bono drops back and starts looking, looking, looking..... he never sees the corner blitz from HIS RIGHT SIDE. The corner literally just takes the ball from Bono as he's holding it there waiting to pass, and runs 50 yards for a touchdown. Good lord.

[OrtonsPiercedTaint]

Someone could splice together an hour game of Chiefs' LOL moments. Greg Robinson moments might dominate.

Ah yes. Tiki Barber I believe. That was the '05 season?

[arrowheadnation]

Have any of the Lin Elliot kicks vs. the colts in the playoffs been nominated? If not, I go with those.

[Rain Man]

Cassels screen pick against the Chargers does it for me. God damn he was terrible.

That was the first play that came to mind for me.

Elvis spiking the ball on fourth down comes to mind too, though I don't recall if that was a preseason game. Not that it matters for this discussion.

Or you know, I don't remember the particular play, but the play that may have made me the most angry as a Chiefs fan was Herm Edwards playing conservative in overtime against Peyton Manning's Colts and then punting to PEYTON MANNING, assuming he was going to win a field position battle or something. That series tipped me over the edge from being patient to being stridently anti-Herm and Carl.

While there was no particular play, I would also offer the following three things:

Eric Hicks getting beat on a rollout for the 8,000th time.

Greg Robinson's defense rushing one guy in order to give the quarterback several minutes to complete a pass.

Paul Hackett always calling plays on third down that had no routes past the first down marker.

[OrtonsPiercedTaint]

Ah yes. Tiki Barber I believe. That was the '05 season?

No, I don't think it was Baber, but started with a B. I think defense when I think Chiefs' abortions.

Priest's costly fumble in the no-punt playoff game against the Colts.

first fumble in over 400 carries....I was waiting for the burial ground under Arrowhead to open up..

[elwaysucks]

2006 - overtime with Cleveland and Greg Wesley (I believe it was him) completely blew a tackle on Derek Anderson who scrambled for a huge gain. If I remember right they ran a couple of plays and then kicked the game-winning field goal. I was so pissed that I broke my remote control and threw away the Chiefs shirt I was wearing that day. Man, I used to be so passionate when it came to the Chiefs, that losses like that destroyed me. The last seven years have numbed me a bit to painful losses. And blowout losses too I guess.

[MTG#10]

It was an absolute travesty, though, that our 2005 team didn't make the playoffs with a healthy Roaf. We win that Dallas game 9 times out of fucking 10 and we lose it, go 10-6, and watch the #6 seed (Pittsburgh) win the damn Super Bowl.

He fumbled a second time before Herndon recovered the ball. Play Challenged by KC and Upheld. (Timeout #1 by KC at 01:27.)

That honestly COULD HAVE been us...sucks being us.Didn't Boerigter drop a sure TD pass as well?

I've said it many times - If Morton and Boerigter catch those passes and Priest doesn't fumble, we'd remember how Trent Green outdueled Peyton Manning that day.

Yeah, that play call was pure WTF. You can see the deep safety just watching everything happen 15 yards in front of him. Horrible play call, horrible execution.

It was vs Seattle. Aguilar regularly threw instead of punting in practice. I can't remember if that was to save his leg, or if it was because we had recently moved to the indoor facility and the roof was too low. Anyhow, Marty got the idea that his throws, to a PR, looked just like punts, so had them try it in a game. PR backed off, our guy ran underneath it... Perfect.

Winner. **** that guy.

Oh yeah, the cock gobbling "kick off specialist"

[Titty Meat]

Grbac spiking it on 4th down

[|Zach|]

I remember one year we were playing the Texans at home and Green got a pick six in a position where we were about to score a touchdown.

It turned the game to a loss and sort of turn the season as well everything after that was shitty.

[Rasputin]

Dave Krieg fumbles. Not a couple times but I think he set the record for fumbles. Small hands.


WTF Carl Peterson bring Dave Krieg to be our quarterback just because he beat us with Derrick Thomas sacking him 7 times in that game. Pathetic.

[Marcellus]

Kyle Orton, 1 play, flea flicker, broken finger game.

Jon Baker kicking off out of bounds THREE TIMES vs. Raiders at home under Gunther. Chiefs blow lead and miss playoffs. Raiders go to the playoffs instead.

The Raiders finished 8-8 that year. We would have won the division and hosted the Dolphins in Marino's last game the next week. DT may very well be alive if Stoyanovich makes the FG at the end of regulation.

Having a new GM trade a 2nd round pick for some shitty backup QB, twice.

That was the Chiefs first game of the new millennium... talk about setting a shitty tone for the 2000's.

Stenerud missing the winning kick on Christmas day.

For all of you youngin's, that was the magical moment that set our current funk into play.

Can't believe that guy is in the HOF and seems to get a free pass for doing the same thing that the kicker that goes unnamed did in 95. I wasn't around then, but I'd still kick him in the nads the same way I would the other kicker if I had the chance.

On the other side of the coin - one of the best sporting events I ever attended:

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/q6Z1vRvyW8U" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

The most exciting game I've ever seen live. My uncle had season tickets in the front row of club level in that end zone. When Vanover scored the TD I was hugging random people behind me I'd never met before. My uncle and cousin left to beat traffic when the Chargers went up by a touchdown with a minute left, while my friend and I stayed. I still give them shit about it, but they usually don't take it very well.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Unless I've missed it, I have no idea how these two haven't been mentioned:

4th and 8 from deep in our own end in a tight game against the Broncos. Fake punt. You'd have to be an idiot not to see Brodie Croyle in punt formation.

And certainly worthy, the fullback (Tim Castille?) pass back to Matt Cassel when we had some momentum against the Chargers on the road.

[suzzer99]

That easy pick six that Patrick Surtain came dropped against Tom Brady in 2006 or so that cost us a trip to the playoffs comes to mind as well. Brady always gets the key INT drops.

[Mojo Jojo]

What about the one against the Cowboys that wins the game...much bigger play.

And yet DT misses an easy sack in that game and Krieg beats the Chiefs..again DT misses the big play to win a game.

[Pitt Gorilla]

The arizona Cardinals falling for the fake against Bono.This was going to be mine. The OP didn't say that a Chiefs player had to commit the act. That was the definition of incompetence.

[Frazod]

Kyle Orton, 1 play, flea flicker, broken finger game.

God, I was at that game. If there's ever been a worse football game played, I haven't seen it. It was the Battle of the Bad Backups. Holy fuck. It's like they were playing keep away.

[Pitt Gorilla]

It was vs Seattle. Aguilar regularly threw instead of punting in practice. I can't remember if that was to save his leg, or if it was because we had recently moved to the indoor facility and the roof was too low. Anyhow, Marty got the idea that his throws, to a PR, looked just like punts, so had them try it in a game. PR backed off, our guy ran underneath it... Perfect.One of my favorite Chiefs plays of all time. That was in the old Kingdome.

[Marada]

1998, 77,000 fans at the playoff game agains't the Bronco's. 14 to 10 the score. 4 min 4 sec to go. KC has the ball and is driving. At the 29 yard line of the Bronco's with 1 min 40 to go. Right after the 2 min warning KC uses last time out. With min 40 to go, 3rd down KC wastes 45 sec trying to figure out a play. Finally on 4th down Hail Mary to Lake Dawson in end zone instead of trying to get a 1st down 4 yards away. Complete breakdown of clock management, play calling, field awareness, and composure. Worst example of football playing I've ever seen.

[Al Bundy]

Jaycee Pearson getting beaten like a drum twice by Andre Reed in the 1991 AFC divisional playoff game was pretty brutal.

[Setsuna]

ROFL at people ignoring Direckshun and taking over the thread. Bet he cried.

[redsurfer11]

The reason that play worked was the noise in the Kingdome. If you tried it again, it would have to be in a sold out Dome.

Geez people it isn't 2 2cd round picks unless we have a great season. And it was the 2.2 pick not the 2.1 which was the Jags pick.

[prrrrrice chopper]

Definitely gotta go with when the Chiefs changed their official grocery store to Hy-Vee.

August 2007, when Billay joined CP. Horrible play. Just horrible.

[Hootie]

...I think you're thinking of Drew Bledsoe.

You would make excuses for my assholishness if I were with the Chiefs organization.

[Hootie]

What about the one against the Cowboys that wins the game...much bigger play.

I think he was probably thinking of that one.

...and that was horrible

combined with the 14 point swing with the LJ missed block...

and then a poor snap on the FG that would have put us in overtime

...I literally fell to the floor of my room in despair after we missed that FG. I laid face down for about 20 minutes.

we had absolutely no business losing that game and it pretty much was the reason we didn't make the playoffs

and the Steelers got the 6th seed

and then the Steelers won the Super Bowl

Yeah that game hurt. I also blame the long snapper Perry for a high snap on the field goal.

We really should have beat the Giants and the Bills.

Probably could have beat Cincinnati in the wildcard game. We would have lost @Denver though.

[Hootie]

we got smoked by both of those teams from what I recall...the Bills game being one of Jordan Black's finest.

[Titty Meat]

Our shit defense held the Bills to 14 points. Lol JP Losman fucking best us.

[DJ's left nut]

Someone has it as a signature, but the throw where Cassel had a clean throwing lane to a WR across the middle about 10 yards downfield and just flat overthrows him by 10 yards.

The guy is standing right in front of him and Cassel has a clean pocket...just can't manage to make an accurate high-school caliber toss.

[Buehler445]

That was the first play that came to mind for me.

Elvis spiking the ball on fourth down comes to mind too, though I don't recall if that was a preseason game. Not that it matters for this discussion.

Or you know, I don't remember the particular play, but the play that may have made me the most angry as a Chiefs fan was Herm Edwards playing conservative in overtime against Peyton Manning's Colts and then punting to PEYTON MANNING, assuming he was going to win a field position battle or something. That series tipped me over the edge from being patient to being stridently anti-Herm and Carl.



The first time Herm played the Colts. Croyle's third start. When they should have been loosening up the leash some. NOPE! I was furious. I had tried to be a homer because IIRC Hali and Allen were tearing it up. Game's lost if you punt, and they had the PERFECT opportunity to see if Croyle had something. That really filled me with hate and rage. Herm killed my homerism and that was the tipping point.

Does anyone remember the qb that we had - that maybe played 1 play, it was like Ingle Martin or something - and got cut the next day - I remember thinking to myself WTF...

It was a wildcat type play...

Raiders were in town for the 2008 home opener when JaFatass Bustell embarrassed us. He was listed as a WR and we pick him up as a fucking quarterback because he played one in college. ROFL

EDIT: You got the name right. Ingle Martin. But I thought it was a short black kid with dreads. Or am I thinking of some other laughable QB addition.

[Beef Supreme]

The kicker who shall not be named.

[thabear04]

Chiefs should give the ball to Jeff Webb.

Looking back in hindsight with some objectivity, Haley's stares are impressive. Makes me kind of like the guy.

[listopencil]

You can see that he wishes to reach into someone's chest, pull out their still beating heart, and throw it in their face.
