What if a certain kicker didn't miss 3 field goals? KC beats Dallas 21 - 17

What if Denver was properly penalized for greasing their jerseys? KC loses to Green Bay 24 - 10

Simple… if the Chiefs had a QB like Mahomes in the 1990’s they would have won multiple Super Bowls.

I know people refute that saying a QB like Mahomes would not coexist with a Martyball/defense-first team… but remember Marty did try to transition away from ground and pound to a more open/West Coast offense in the mid-1990’s but he ultimately never had the QB.

Do you ever have a coherent football take??

Hell no to this entire thread. Everything that has happened was en route to building a true dynasty. If Dee Ford lines up onsides we probably keep Sutton forever, for example. I don't know what happens with Eric Fisher healthy but it sparked a complete and much needed overhaul of our offensive line.

Dee Ford lining up offsides and us losing that game was the catalyst for replacing Sutton.

He's saying we may be worse off now if Ford lined up properly because we probably still have Sutton.

LMAO
It just happened
sec

My 'John Baker killed Derrick Thomas' theory.

Baker's SOLE JOB on the roster was kickoffs. Stoyo was doing placekicking, Pope was punting.

The last game of the season the Chiefs need to win to make the playoffs.

That ****ing knucklehead kicks THREE balls OOB. Once with a minute left in the half, setting the Raiders up with great field position whereupon they immediatley march downfield and score a TD to go up 28-24.

The Chiefs battle back to send the game to overtime and ****-knuckle immediately puts ANOTHER one OOB. The Raiders again start in great field position, drive down the field and kick a game-winning FG.

The Chiefs lose and miss the playoffs. 2 weeks later, when the Chiefs should've either been preparing for another playoff game or at least doing some end of season wrap-up, Derrick Thomas is instead driving to the airport on snow covered roads and getting into the car accident that would eventually kill him.

If they play a week later, I think it's fair to say enough would've changed that he's either on a different flight or not on the plane at all. Or shit, maybe he leaves 20 minutes later, has a different car in front of him and changes lanes in a way that avoids the ice patch.

John Baker killed Derrick Thomas. Because he couldn't keep a !@#$ing kick in bounds.

Start Gannon in the playoffs vs. Denver, tell Grbac to **** his mother.

KC wins a ring, Denver doesn't, and the Raiders never sign Gannon. Gruden does squat with the Raiders and is out of the NFL after a few seasons.

My God I totally forgot that game. That really defines Because Chiefs.

If the Colts never ****ed up Luck and Ballard inherited a healthy version of him, think of the playoff picture:

Mahomes
Allen
Burrow
Luck
Lamar
Lawrence
Herbert

That would be insane

1989- (i think)Derrick Thomas goes for the tackle, not the iNT vs Miami

1995-Lin Elliot is aborted

1997-The weather is not -20 vs Denver

1992-We dont shit the bed vs SD-that team was not going any where

2010-get a first down

2013-Aborted the DC

2016-Aborted Carl Cheffers

2017-Refs understand forward progress

2020-Refs dont throw 9 ghost penalties

God dammit - now I'm mad a John Baker again.

Screw this thread...

The 1995 Chiefs were not beating the Cowboys in the Super Bowl. You're talking about Steve Bono and no offensive weapons versus a dynasty full of Hall of Famers.

I agree they beat the Steelers in the AFCCG, though I'm more confident about the Chiefs beating the Steelers in 1997 than in 1995.

The Chiefs/Packers in 1997 would be a good question I've thought about a bit. The Packers likely win because of the QB disparity but maybe our defense shuts down Favre and forces some of his infamous INTs. That 1997 Chiefs team had something magical going on. I just wish Gannon started in the playoffs but Marty was a stubborn mule.

You forgot 2003. Likely not beating New England on the road but that defensive shitshow against the Colts should have gotten the DC fired.

I dont remember that game well. But I will give it to you.
