Nick the Kick, mothertruckers!

Cool.

:thumb:

Nice, i am all for this. Nick was awesome.

Word. Nick was awesome. He pimps a mean suit too.

And damn John Alt for making him miss one of the most important FGs in his career. I think it was Alt that held anyway.

Was Alt Carl's "mormon explosion"?

I know you guys didn't know his secret.....air flow. He would pull on the side of his nose with his index finger and thumb to open up the airway while lining up for the kick. He was a breathing mofo. I use the same tactic for every thing I do.....yep.

WTF???? ROFL Rep!

Nah, that was John Tait.

His pre-kick routine was hilarious to watch.

It's been a while, but wasn't this the same FG kicker that was standing up smiling and waving in the audience at one of the games after his replacement missed a FG, or was that just crap?

"**** Family Night".

about freakin' time. what were they waiting for? Damn it Carl.

It was all Carls fault.




I think it was Dave Szott.


Congrats to Nick!

A very deserving Chief.

FAX

It was Szott.

Congrats Nick!:clap:

Thats right. It was Szott. I was so damn mad at him for that. Nick ended up missing by a couple yards after the penalty.

I know that kickers don't make it into Canton often, but he is deserving. Are you listening Canton?

He hit on my Aunt one time. She turned him down.

Guru, it was Szott who was called for holding.

I guess I'm against the grain on this one.

I think Nick Lowery is the most over-rated Chiefs player ever.

He never "won" a football game for the Chiefs and in countless tries, he came up empty handed under pressure (Miami playoffs, Cleveland 1989, etc.).

It's really tough to kick a 51 yard field goal when you're team is down by 42 points. :rolleyes:

Plus, Nick personally?

You couldn't find a nicer scumbag.

Uh...yeah...he kinda did. In the 1993 playoff season vs. Pittsburgh, he made a kick to win in OT. I was there.

:eek::eek::eek:ROFL

Dane, your brutal honesty makes my testes tingle! Rep!

I was a little kid when he left KC and it made me cry.

What he's saying, though, has merit.

For the most part, Lowery missed on big kicks far more often than he made them.

I was praising Lowery when I should have been praising Aguiar; cocaine is a hell of a drug!

Late 90's - Early Millennium = Very hazy time for DCS.

if KKKarl hadn't cut him and signed Elliot, we would have won a playoff game in Jan 96.

Yep.:banghead:

Um, Karl didn't cut him. His contract was up.

The Chiefs offered $100k more than the Jets.

Nick the Dick bolted for NYC.

Marty was never a fan.

Louie would'a nailed that ****ing kick, and then some!

Dane is right somewhat.

Nick was a really awesome kicker for alot of bad Chiefs teams.

LMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAO

It was a 32 yarder before the penalty.

So Nick the ****ing "most accurate kicker" missed a 42 yard field goal with the game on the line.

He's a ****ing LOSER. Alway was. Always has been. Always will be.

:loser:

It's easy to hit from 50 yards when there's no pressure to win the game.

Are we thinking of a different kick then. I recall it being a 51 yard missed FG.

Nick Lowery, the man almost everyone would pick to kick it, was on the field waiting for the snap. If the kick succeeded, the Kansas City Chiefs would regain the advantage after blowing a big fourth-quarter lead in today's AFC wild-card game. If the kick failed, the Miami Dolphins would have capped a glorious comeback to win the game.
For the first time in 2 1/2 months, Lowery missed. After 24 consecutive field goals, Lowery watched as a kick he thought "was good enough to go in" dropped a foot or two short of the crossbar.
It was not good, and Miami, behind by 13 points in the fourth quarter, won 17-16.
Even though ...

I hate keekers. They are a crutch for when your team can't score a TD.

Here is a better article about it...

His final attempt could have come from 13 yards closer. But a holding penalty against David Szott, a rookie guard, a 3-yard loss by Christian Okoye, and an incomplete pass on third down forced the unsuccessful 52-yard attempt. And the Chiefs were left with a third consecutive playoff defeat since their most recent post-season victory, in Super Bowl IV, 21 years ago.

Okay, it was a 42 that went to 52 yards.

Still. He made plenty of those kicks when the score was 52-0.

Wilting flower under pressure.

I will never, ever fault a kicker for missing a FG beyond 50 yards. Especially when the rest of the team failed on that series as well.

Really?

I would.

Totally.

It's not like it was "beyond his range".

Louie didn't tank HIS 54 yarder when the game was on the line! Go Louie!

I have always been forgiving of kickers on 50+ FG attempts. 40 and in is money. 40-50 the averages go down slightly. 50 and beyond the average plummets. I may not be happy about a 50+ miss but I won't hold it against them either. The team blew that series more than Nick did and Szott blew it more than the team did.

Nick blew it. Plain and simple. To blame it on a rookie is tenuous at best.

Nick blew it in 1989. He missed two field goals (one in regulation and one in overtime) that would have put the Chiefs at 9-7 and in the playoffs.

Marty wanted him gone then. His partying and lifestyle was a "bad influence" on the other players.

didn't he slap a ball boy?

Yeah.

And much worse.

I'm not saying I liked Nick. He was an ass.

But if you want to say that was ALL on Nick then fine.:rolleyes::)

He was definitely NOT a role model.

Here's the way I see and you're welcome to disagree:

If Nick is to be considered "Elite", then he should have proved it on the field.

Is Scott Norwood in the Bills HOF?

I didn't think so.

Nick had plenty of opportunities to win important games for the Chiefs and far more often than not, he failed.

He was not an Elite kicker that produced under pressure (i.e. Vinatieri).

He was just a guy.

Yeah, but this is the Chiefs Hall of Fame not the NFL Hall of Fame. Plus, like it or not, he was a fan favorite.

time for me to check out and go home.

fyp.

By God I want his ass kicked to the curb, and Louie inducted in his place, and I want it YESTERDAY!

:cuss: And someone tell him to cut that goddamned gay-biker moustasche too! Yarrr...:D

Have a great night!

He actually missed 3 kicks in that tie against Cleveland in 89.

I think your memory is clouded by one game. The facts fly in your rust colored glasses. He hit 80 % of field goals in the era before specialty balls, and despite your contentions he had 14 game winning field goals. His postseason numbers are lower, but that's because of a smaller sampling. You want to hold Stenerud to the same standard? He missed a three field goals in the longest game ever including a chip shot with less than a minute left in regulation.

You really blame a kicker for missing from more than 50 yards? Go out on a football field and see how small a target it is.

I thought Nick was a good clutch kicker. He just didn't have many clutch opportunities. I'm a Nick Lowery fan.

I'll just DM you my posts for fact checking prior to posting, henceforth... ok? LMAO

I believe you're thinking of Dave Szott. And it was a horrible call by the refs. Szott was falling down backwards and they called holding on him.

Lowery was good and probably deserves to be in the Chiefs hall of fame but he also led the mutiny against John Mackovick.

And for what it's worth, I think John Alt was one of the most underrated players of his time. He was an elite left tackle but didn't get much pub.

Seriously, though. During the 80s, how many 'big game winning' kicks could he possibly have the opportunity to make?

I have dispatched R. Kelly to doo-doo on his moustached head!!!!

Nick is the LAST player I blammed for that loss.

Agreed. Richmond Webb got all the pro bowls because no one could get to Marino fast enough to sack him. Alt was as good or better, but never got the credit for it.

And he missed one from 43 that would have won it in regulation. After the Montana to Barnett heroics to tie the game, we forced a punt and drove to the Pitt 37, where Joe set him up to win in OT.


Count me in with Dane. Lowry was a piece of shit kicker and peice of shit human. He was damn lucky we got a second chance in OT.

F him.

And I was there too.

All in all Lowry was one of the best .. so congrats NTK ...

Good for him. Just think if Carl hadn't let him go, we'd have a ring in '93.

Yeah, we cleared that up earlier. heh

One out of two in a game winning situation isn't too bad. Especially in a game that was 9 degrees F.

Don't you remember Lin Elliot's 0-3? I'm not saying Lowery is the greatest Chief of all time. However, he was much more consistent than most of the kickers we've had recently.

stoyo was better

With the Chiefs, better than bad is a standard argument around here.

We are one ****ed up fanbase.

I think the thing with Lowry is:

He was one of the very few shining beacons of light during a very dark Chiefs era.

Bullshit.

Maybe he was the only offensive weapon during that era but he was certainly not a shining beacon of light.

Unless you were doing coke with him in the bathroom at One Block West.

Cherry, Burress, Ross, Lewis, Mass, Spani, Alt, Still and Barbaro should be held in much higher regard than "Nick the Miss" under pressure.

**** Nick.

You mean '95.

You sure that wasn't your uncle he was hittin on?

LMAO

1. Carl didn't let him go.

2. Nick was with the Chiefs in 1993.

3. Even if you had the year incorrect, does Nick play QB and if not, could he somehow, single-handedly score enough points to beat Buffalo in the AFC Championship game after Montana was knocked out of the game?

Toast!

My favorite is the "good enough is good enough" take; if any franchise needed a "culture of winning" on the scale of a heart transplant, this would be the one.

Agreed. Now, where the hell was/is One Block West?

It was in KCK, Wyandotte County.

It closed in 1987 after the drinking age was raised.

Lowery is a pimp. Imagine all the sluts he turned on by rubbing his moustache hairs on their clit.

Oi! Thanks.

Did you ever go to Starz on Broadway back in the day, before it became hip-hop?

That's no way to talk about your parents, Donko.:D
