Chiefs the kicker that shall go unnamed breaks 22 year silence in new interview - Page 3

Stargazer · 02-10-2018, 05:17 PM

I know, I know, he's the "kicker that shall not be named" but I found this interview fascinating. He takes a fair share of the responsibility but also calls out DT and the offense for not making more plays.

It doesn't matter if he was kicking into a wind three times stronger than the storms of Jupiter, he should have been on the field. He should have been cut the moment he missed an XP for the second straight week against Miami, where his kicking performance single-handedly cost the Chiefs that game (Missed FG led to a 4th down and goal attempt down thirteen when an earlier FG would have allowed a chip shot FG to bring it within a TD, followed by another missed XP).

No.. no one should tell Welcher anything.

I remember the game pretty well; at a party within ear shot of the stadium. First half had Marcus Allen running pretty well and the second half consisted of passes down the frozen sideline. When it came down to the end of the game, we knew he would redeem himself and make the kick. After the miss, none of us has felt the same about the Chiefs.

Broncos, Colts, Patriots, Steelers... It didn't matter how good the Chiefs were in the regular season, they would always find a way to fall apart in the playoffs.

Nice that the Chiefs have finally decided to do it the easy way... Get the QB and build the team around him.

I had just turned 17. If I knew then what I know now I would have given up right there.

Why do you'll blame the kicker that shall go unnamed when you had Nick Lowery and ran him out of town? Blame Carl, Marty, or whoever made that move, not the guy that replaced him.

It doesn't take a genius to understand if you're gonna play Martyball you're not gonna score many TDs and FGs are gonna be at a premium.

I grew up in TX and wasn't a chiefs fan until later on. In 1988-89 my local paper had fantasy football for the first time ever. Nick Lowery was my kicker. He was straight up MONEY. He won me several weeks.

It's nice to see that everybody's gotten over that season. It's cleansing to move on.

You are right he should never have been on the field. But the issue is playing scared and having the kicker be such an important role. I want to not care about having a good fg kicker because my team will take care of business instead of playing scared which is the common thread for chief's fans misery.

They didn't play 'scared.' They played stupid for the conditions.

Marty chose that day to be Reid before Reid. -20 degrees, swirling winds, . . . they'll never expect our noodle-armed QB to pass all over the yard, since he hasn't had to all season, and he's pure coastal wussy-boy. So what if Marcus is at peak Marcus? Let Bono's freak flag FLY!!!

It's not out of the blue. The kicker JUST gave his first interview in a long time.

I still see that catch in my sleep. If he had made it, would it have sent the Chiefs on a multi year run? It was a desperation play, but damn... so close.

Instead, all I hear is that terrible commercial he did on the radio with his Mom.

"Hi Lake"!

Exactly!!! That's exactly what Jimmy Johnson did to him...

You CUT HIS SORRY ASS BEFORE YOU GIVE HIM THE CHANCE TO KILL YOU DOWN THE ROAD.

That loss, as every playoff loss in those years fall squarely on Marty's shoulders.
