the kicker that shall go unnamed breaks 22 year silence in new interview

[milkman]

I have never blamed the kicker that shall go unnamed.

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

Elliot was just a symptom of that disease.

Oh, and **** the pussies that can't handle that name and the word filter.

Thank you! I was there and I never blamed Elliot either. The offense was piss-poor that day....especially Bono. It was also the wrong day to get pass-happy in the second half when we'd been running well in first half. We had freaking Marcus Allen on the team and didn't use him properly in the second half...that is all on Marty.

That throw was off the mark.

[Hammock Parties]

Yeah blame the WR who barely had a sack lunch in the NFL and for not making a highlight-reel catch in a playoff game...that would have gone down as "The Catch II"...if it had actually happened.

Blame him for that one "drop" when Bono was chucking up ducks all night.

Give me a ****ing break. That's like blaming Louie Aguiar for not getting the first down on that fake FG in '97 when in actuality Grbac had a giant chicken-bone stuck in his throat at the end...and there were four or five drops in that playoff game, too.

Drops my ass...drop your game manager off a cliff, please.

I just posted that because it was all I could find on that game and I had forgotten all about that play. It was a shit throw. Still...that was fail all around. It's the playoffs and the ball hits your hands. Catch the ****ing thing.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Absolutely the shit QB play. That wasn't a drop. Just because a guy gets fingertips on a ball, doesn't make it a drop. Infuriating.

Anyone want to tell the Welcher that Gannon threw that pass?

Or that the commentators paused the telestrator like 5 times in that 45 seconds to remark on how good a throw it was.

No.. no one should tell Welcher anything.

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"!

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).

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!!!
