I just remember getting some tickets around 2010-ish on the rail by the tunnel, and a heckler behind us kept after Gafford. "You gonna snap it over his head again, Gaaaaafford?!?!?!?!" To the point that Gafford would stand and stare at him. So if he could strike a nerve like that, there must have been some fire to go with the smoke, thus my vote is for Winchester.

Yeah I missed it quick to look at poll.

But honestly 6 years of Reid 2 of Crennel and 2 of Haleys 3 years? Might as well be best of the Andy Reid years.

Somebody heckled our long snapper? At home?

That....is a good point.

You must be remembering differently. Colquitt is an elite holder who has saved more than a few really bad snaps.

Yep, the folks we sat next to said he was a regular and that "his buddy wasn't here, or it would have been much worse".

It was one of the more memorable games I've ever been too, simply because of that guy. They also announced which cheerleader was going to represent KC at the Pro Bowl at that game. He had some amazing insight into that as well, which was unfortunate for the winning cheerleader...who, as she paraded around the stadium after getting the nomination, she passed by our section and for some reason only God knows the stadium fell absolutely silent for just a few seconds. And that's when it let it rip. "She's got a Pro Bowl ass, but her face is sick as f___". I can still see the look of pure shock on her face as he let that rip and she could hear him. Even my old man was in shock, and that takes some doing.

If it helps decide, here are some comparable stats. I can't say that Gafford and Winchester handled every snap in their era, but they probably handled 99 percent or more.

From 2010 through 2014 (the five-year Gafford era), the Chiefs had 420 punts, 169 extra point attempts, and 148 field goal attempts. (737 total long snaps)

From 2015 through 2019 (the five-year Winchester era), the Chiefs had 309 punts, 237 extra point attempts, and 182 field goal attempts. (728 total long snaps)

Apparently in 2015 a lot of punt drives transmogrified into scoring drives. But that's not Gafford's fault.

Gammon's been retired that long?

Wow.

Winchester because of recency bias.

You're talking about the times before even the Jean-Philippe Darche era.

Winchester

I dont remember Gafford having gaffes, and Winchester had some issues this year. Although im a bit of a winchester fan, he played highschool ball locally and is also a big deer hunter.

Zebedee DuBois 02-14-2020 02:56 PM

Winchester, just because of the name.

"Winchester rifles the ball to the holder!"
