For anyone thats interested; Lin on 610
 

Lin Elliott will be on 610 sports tomorrow morning and will be interviewed by Fescoe. So the worst kicker in KC history is interviewed by one of the worst radio hosts in KC history. How fitting.

Holy shit Elliott missed 3 XPs in 95. Thats really really bad. He missed 5 XP in 50 games. Morten Andersen missed 10 in 382 games.

Because everyone in KC was just dying for this interview. I don't get it.

Why?

I honestly think this is a good sign, even if that sounds silly. Cathartic.

Time for him to make his peace. With a revolver.

From what I heard theyve been trying to get the interview for 5 years.

Again. Why?

I don't know why Lin would even want to do it.

Probably got tired of them calling

hmmm good point

Bad Omen, we're gonna lose on a botched FG.

JFC, who else do they have scheduled this week?

Greg Robinson? Steve Bono? Kendrick Lewis?

Bobby Sippio

Now we just got jinxed

Jinxes and fairytales don't exist, Mahomes however does and will for the foreseeable future. Nancy boys cringe in the corner while I enjoy the ride.

If people wanna act like jinx are real then im going to pretend that bad shit happens to us because our fans have a defeated little bitch attitude and dont deserve happiness.

He did it last year.

He likes defending himself. He's actually arrogant about it.

The best thing he can do is to stay as far away as possible and make no comment on the game. Unwelcome and unwanted.

What exactly is he defending?

"it was cold"

"the other kicker missed too"

"that team had other issues"

"i have a super bowl ring you losers"

that was the jist of it

1. poor baby
2. three times?
3. and you were one of them
4. that has nothing to do with anything

Can’t, under contract actually, lol

Wait the kicker that shall be unnamed got a ****ing super bowl ring?

LMAO

What a douche

Lol so the dude went to Texas Tech LMAO

weird

fescoe is exocising (sp?) the demons.

its time to let go of the past.

it's mahomie time.

Bono interview on NBC pregame Saturday

All people Chiefs fans want to erase. JFC

Expect an appearance from Elvis and Rich now.

LMAO

You've gotta be kidding

Its Scrooged KC Chiefs edition.

Yeah, he was the kicker on those badass Dallas Cowboy teams.

I wonder what Sabby Piscatelli thinks about our chances this year. Book him!

**** that guy.

Think good thoughts

Team had “other issues”?


Didn’t stop them from going 13-3. What the hell is ge talking about

**** that guy. I was kinda hoping he waa dead.

Oh man, I want to hear him troll ppl now. I hope they take calls

why?

no way I'm listening. and if I see his face on TV on pregame, I'm switching the channel.

This story is pretty good if you want an interview that's not done by a clown.

Exorcising the demons.

Good points.

Coaching issues.

Exercising the demons.

https://d3gqasl9vmjfd8.cloudfront.ne...ced8104e1d.png

2015 Royals exorcised decades of disappointments. So shall Mahomes & the 2018-2019 Chiefs.

Blessed is he, who in the name of coaches, players & fans, shepherds the Chiefs through the valley of Arrowhead, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost franchises. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those Colts or former kickers who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers' path to a Super Bowl Victory.

100% failure of this guy. I’ll never blame Lin. Never ever. http://https://rickkomer.files.wordp...ttenheimer.jpg

Yes we can set him free. Once the coroner confirms the body

The kicker always takes the blame.

Not the coaches, who abandoned a solid game plan and put the game on the arm of Steve Bono.

Not Steve Bono, who threw 3 INTs.

Not Lake Dawson, who dropped a sure TD pass.

No. It's the freaking kicker's fault.

Lin Elliott was absolved of all blame just TWO YEARS later, when Marty's team turned around and choked AGAIN.

It's hard for me to hate a sucky kicker for sucking.

I mean Jimmy Johnson stopped kicking FG's because of Elliott. It's not like he started sucking suddenly that day.

And lock this thread. Nailed it.

He was anything but arrogant in this interview.

But we can’t blame Marty for being a stubborn fool.

Closure?


We get the win on Saturday we move on from any playoff "curse". **** Bono, GrBac and the kicker who shouldn't be named etc.. The Mahomes era has began.

Why does the thread have to be locked? I didn't post anything too bad about him. Just that he sucked which he did. I was 5 in 95, so I dont remember the game.

Because the whole kicker shall not be named mantra is bullshit, so much easier to blame the symptom then address the root cause.

I didnt write that it just automatically puts that for his name. I put his name in the thread. Its not the threads fault the mods did what they did.

Sorry

I feel bad for the guy. Says Marty never talked to him again after the game. Another former player brought up the fact that they were the number 1 rushing offense and said they practiced 3.5 hours a day running the ball and then Marty changes up the game plan. ****ing Steve Bono was 11/25 122yds 1 td 3 int.

Its a God damn travesty that Marty kept trotting Bono's worthless ass out there over Gannon. Im sure if Gannon would have started then we would have won. So while some blame falls on Elliott, for missing the kicks, Marty and Bono deserve an equal share of the blame. Hell no ome ever blames them. Its always Elliotts fault.

I VOTE TO ALLOW LIN. ELLIOTT. TO BE POSTED ON HERE!

There is a bunch of serious whining and bitching in here.

Say his name, its not a ****ing curse...

Curses aren't real

Lin. Elliot. Lin. Elliot. LIN. ELLIOT!!

He's not a boogie man. He's just a bad kicker

GFY. It's part of CP lore. Like it or get out.

And, you. Same to you too!

:Lin:

That former player was Grunhard. I remember, right before we played the Colts in 2003, they had him on the radio and he was still livid about the game plan. However, it's not like they had Bono drop back 45 times and sling it all over the yard. He had 25 attempts. He was at his worst in the 4th quarter, throwing two picks, then he got yanked. That said, the defense played lights out and kept getting the ball back. The offense managed to move into FG position (39 and 42) twice in the 4th quarter. Your kicker HAS to make those.

Everyone had a hand in this. Bono tossing three picks. Elliot missing three FGs. Dawson dropping a sure fire, game-winning TD. This was probably the Chiefs' worst game of the year, offensively, and they still should have won.

I'm still devastated over this game. I remember watching thinking that if they could just get by the Colts, they would have gone to the SB. That defense was incredible.

True Marty/Paul Hackett's play calling was to blame as was Steve Bono's horrific play... but ultimately when you lose a game 10-7 and your kicker misses THREE FG's that an NFL-caliber kicker should make, the primary blame should be directed at the kicker.

I blame Paul Hackett. He was constantly surrendering drives during his tenure here. He invented the concept of throwing to 3 yard routes on third and 8. That game plan was his and it doomed us to lose.

But no more. We have a franchise quarterback and we shall never surrender a drive again.

2nd and 10? Draw.

3rd and 8? Screen

Marty and Hackett were devout cowards.

Alas, his their progeny are still able to find NFL work.

:clap::clap::clap:

For every player like Grunhard who was pissed at the gameplan and had some intelligence about it...you had Derrick Thomas who had to be physically restrained from murdering the kicker in the locker room.

Nope. Should be at the HC for putting his team in position to rely on a kicker in that weather.

Thomas wasn’t overly smart.

He should of made plays in that game. He was pretty invisible

Too many people looking back. We're different now with Patrick Mahomes. We're everything they wish they could be. Let go of your anxiety.

It was a snippet from an interview they did with Mark Collins a few months back.
He was pissed about the gameplan but also said it was the hardest week of practice they had all year. Said he'd won two rings with Parcells and he was a hard ass too but he backed off the practices in that situation didn't amp them up.

There's only one Len in Chiefs history as far as I'm concerned. He spells his name with an "e". This ain't him...

I'm stealing this for my sig.

If Elliott was great all year and just choked, it would be one thing. He was bad all year and nothing was done to address it. Marty played the kind of football that needed a reliable kicker and Carl failed to provide it. There were many issues in that game but even from a kicking perspective I don't blame Elliott. If an NFL team wanted to pay me big bucks to miss field goals, I'd take it in a heart beat. Blame the people who put a bad kicker in a position to lose the game for us. I mean, Christ. It's not like he missed them on purpose.

You sure about that, comrade?

FWIW, he was 13th in FG% (24/30) that year. He missed a league high 3 XPs though.

The Colts' kicker that year was 15th in FG% (19/24), but he made all his XPs.

I don't know who was available, but there were 19 teams with statistically worse kickers than the Chiefs that season who didn't replace them.

It wasn't over the course of the whole year. He absolutely lost it the last month of the season. He missed an XP and a FG against the Dolphins on Monday night, forcing the Chiefs to go for it on 4th down to tie when a chip shot FG would have tied it, then he missed another two XPs and a FG against the Raiders the following week, then another FG against Denver the week after

You can't miss six kicks, including three XPs, in three weeks and keep your job.

That’s a good point. The quality of kickers available on the street doesn’t seem likely to have been good though when you see some of the underwhelming kickers who had jobs at the time.
