Andy Reid had a boo boo. Called timeout as the Titans kicker missed. So then his ex kicker re-kicked and drilled a game winning 53 yarder in frigid temps. He got warmed up. Painful loss.
When its this cold dont "ice" the kicker

I recall seeing a stat a few years ago where college kickers made 72% of their FGs overall, but made 78% after the opposing coach called a TO to ice them. I know it's common to do it, but all we're really doing is giving the kicker another 30 seconds to get focused and locked in...and increase the likelihood he makes it!
And the fact he gets a shot to try it then adjust. If we could have done something in the second half on offense it would have helped a ton
For me, and some will agree. The pain started on Christmas Day, 1971. Jan missed a 31-yard field goal. From that point forward, it's been misery....
The 83 draft, the phantom holding call in Miami, Marcus Allens fumble, all Colts playoff losses, Montana knocked silly in Buffalo, Elvis over Gannon, the death of JD, DT, JB....these are the examples that the Chefs are cursed. Now this. No franchise has more almost good enough to get to the Superbowl then the GD Kansas #itty chiefs.
The assclown troll is butthurt. Go back to the basement and wait for the meatloaf TV dinner bell.Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
My team lost and I'm going to throw a fit and rehash every loss in my lifetime. boo hoo.
Then your not a Chiefs fan AC.
Did I mention Dave Szotts 1991 holding call in Miami? The only holding call of the game, that pushed the ball back to the 37 after Christian Okoye had busted a 12-yard run to set up a tidy field goal to win the game? You know, the one Nick Lowery missed from 50 yards at Joe Robbie? The same day that Pete Stoyanovich had hit a 58 yarder? What was then a PO record? BTW, Nick was the leading scorer in the NFL that season.
Just to make sure I understand, Reid screwed up because he called a timeout and succup missed and then made the second one. I assume if succup had made the first one and missed the second one, Reid would be a genius. Right or wrong, the timeout call is nearly always made in that situation in the nfl.
Andy Reid is the worst coach in the NFL at calling time outs.
You left out Percy Snow and his freak accident on a Moped Scooter in training camp. I noticed you remembered Joe Delaney who drowned, Derrick Thomas who died from injuries he sustained his car wreck and Jevon Belcher who offed himself in front of team officials. Don't forget Ryan Sims and Ryan Jozwiak, the two biggest turds to be drafted in Chiefs history.
What about the Miami Dolphins?!? They have had a huge curse on them since 1983, when the legendary Ray Finkle went wide right to lose the Super Bowl XVII. It became a controversial topic with QB and then holder Dan Marino as Finkle blamed Marino for a bad hold. I was told that Finkle underwent a sex change and had become a police officer in Miami. Wonder how he/she is doing now?
No doubt. But they got on cusp. Chief's continue to be the bridesmaid dress maker. Way worse than the Vikes. SB IV doesn't count.
Favre across the body? AP fumbling what 4 times in that game? Gary Anderson missing his only FG of the year? Denny taking a knee before half with a ton of time left, when he had Moss, Carter and Reed? Going into NY as the favorite in the NFC CHampionship game and losing 41-0? Having all the cards fall in place to make the playoffs only to have a mediocre player catch a last second TD to knock them out of playoff contention in the final week? Kory Stringer passing away? Love Boat? How about losing a very promising young QB to a freak knee injury before a promising season and may never play again? Leading the Rams in 99 in the first half and losing a tight game to the eventual champs? Heck, how about your *********** kicker missing a chip shot FG to win in an upset last year in the playoffs?
Hell I didn't even mention the Walker trade.....And this is all within the last 20 years......SO yeah, tell me again how unfortunate the Chiefs have been. They might not have been AS good as the Vikes. But they sure as hell didn't tease you with the chance of greatness only to figure out a way to lose in the end.

I remember asking you if you would rather have won a super bowl or go to four and come up winless. You can't have it both ways. ..and you left out another Viking low light, Buck Buchanan, Willie Lanier et al, dominating the Vike's OLine in SB IV.
