Had Nick the Dick not missed two easy field goals, the Chiefs would have made the playoffs in 1989.

I remember a critical holding call in the 90 playoff game. ****ing Chiefs.....sigh......

With the holding call, it was a 42 yard field goal. Lowery missed it.

If Santos missed a 42 yard, FTW kick, that would advance the Chiefs in the playoffs, he'd be run out of town in a rail.

Yet Lowery, for whatever reason, got a pass. To this day, I don't understand why.

I was thinking there was one on the final drive as well, but it's been 24 years so I could definitely be wrong.

It was 52 yards with the hold, 42 without.

yep - and as I recall (and my memory may be a bit fuzzy), the holding call was super-questionable.

But - not much has changed - we still need a win, and a ton of things to happen to sneak into the playoffs.


Although, I think the 90 team could have done some damage in the playoffs, as opposed to this year's team.
