Took the day off Friday. Don't want to be depressed at the office . The beat down is near .

Watched the end of the Montana-Elway game on YouTube. At first I couldn't recall why this game had been purged from my memory....then saw Elliott pull the extra point so hard he almost missed it and remembered why.

Agreed. If this is a list of most important wins (as opposed to most enjoyable or something), you have to rate the 1966 AFL championship and 1962 AFL championships up high. The '66 game put the Chiefs in Super Bowl I, which was historic, and the '62 game put the Chiefs on the map with an overtime win.

In terms of important wins, you have to go...

1. Super Bowl IV
2. 1969 AFL championship
3. 1966 AFL championship
4. 1962 AFL championship
5. 30-0 Texans win, just because of the drought that it broke and the playoff losing streak that it broke.

The 1993 playoff runs were enormous fun and got the Chiefs to the AFC Championship, but I think that breaking a 22-year drought without a playoff win is more important.

One could also argue that the 1991 playoff win over the Los Angeles Raiders (10 to 6 win) is as important as the Texans win because it also ended a 22-year lack of playoff wins, and I almost chose it since the league was slightly smaller during that span. But the Chiefs were 0-3 during that span versus 0-8 during the 1993-2015 drought.

Well, that was depressing to think about. Some of the Chiefs' most impressive wins are simply the outcome of breaking horrendous losing streaks or playoff droughts, and most of them occurred in the 1960's. (Sad sigh.)

Not an all time classic game or anything, but one of my all time favorite games was the game BEFORE the Oilers playoff game, where we blocked a punt to lead to Montana's game tying touchdown to send the game into OT...which we won.

This probably falls short on most peoples lists....but this absolutely beats the Texans playoff game by a longshot IMO.

You need to redact that name NOW!!!!! **** that guy. i would punch him if I saw him.

Backups Kyle Orton and Thomas Jones beating the defending super bowl champs at home. 0.07% winning that game and totally lit by the 4th quarter.

Buck up Captain Crooked Wang. Tank some more of your meds and relax. Everything is going to be OK.

**** the 2015 wild card.

As meaningless as that PO win over Todd Marinovich.

Sad that we still lost that game...

hahaha

And DT almost had Krieg for an 8th sack on the last play, a hail mary to win the damn thing.

you were probably in diapers but it definitely was not meaningless...

Back then we had a good team that was constantly in he playoffs and it felt like we had a chance....that was year 2 of a crazy 10 year run where we never won less than like 9 games and we went to the playoffs like 8 times.

That particular year we had to play the raiders 3 times. We beat them all three times.....The second time we played them we were basically already playing an elimination playoff game....and we won...and got a wildcard ticket...

We drew the raiders for that wildcard game, and played them and won.

Just sticking it to the raiders and taking them out of the playoffs elevates that game over 99% of other games we have played...period.

It was totally meaningless. That Chiefs team needed major upgrades to even sniff true playoff contention with Montana two years later.

So the win wasn't a stepping stone to something greater. It was just a team that wasn't that good, led by a QB who wasn't that good, beating a shitty QB who had no business in the postseason.

Sound familiar?

Alex 'All I Do Is Win' Smith getting love in this thread... I like that!

You have no idea what you're talking about...I mean that as lovingly as possible but you CLEARLY didn't watch that season...

Every battle that doesn't lead to a won war is not meaningless...

If you had actually watched that season or been a chiefs fan at that time you would think that game had meaning. If you wiped that game from the record book and inserted mahomes into it, you would think it had meaning.....because it did at the time.

Now, you can say it didnt have meaning for YOU....which is true because you were probably sucking your dads teet at the time. But to anyone who actually watched that season, taking the raiders out of the playoffs was amazing. Beating them twice in a ROW to do it was epic.
