The Bob Sutton post spiked a bit of nostalgia I wasn’t expecting and I’m interested in hearing the games or moments in Chiefs history that you’ll never forget.
I’ll start with a bit of a recent one, but the 2017 week 1 game against the Patriots was some of the most fun I had watching the Chiefs. As much as we may not want to admit it, spoiling Brady’s ring ceremony and celebration game was our Super Bowl that year. And I remember genuinely thinking Alex Smith was going to be different that season (he wasn’t).
I’ll also never forget that Titans playoff game that season. Almost as heartbreaking as the 2014 Colts game.
What are some of your pre-Mahomes memories?
-back in the day there was a rap song about the Chiefs called “Gimme The Ball, Yall”…I remember “jack be nimble, here comes Kimble”. Hot 103.3 used to play it all the time. I can’t find it anywhere.
-Jamaal Charles 5 touchdown game vs the Raiders.
-Meeting Eric Hicks at Best Buy and my father fanboying over him…and my father had no idea who he was only that he played on the Chiefs. Me and Eric Hicks give each other this disappointment look…lmao.
-I don’t care what anybody says, personally Larry Johnson was my favorite Chiefs running back in that Holmes/Charles/Johnson era. I generally don’t care about off the field stuff, so let me get that out of the way. But yeah anyways, I still say they ran him into the ground, then blamed him for how things went.
-when Tyler Thigpen gave me hope for like a few quarters of football. lol
-
Milehigh Miracle on MNF
-
Knile davis 106 yard kick return for a TD to open the playoffs
-
Tamarick Vannover PRTD in OT at arrowhead against the SDC
-
DT getting a safety on SNF labor day weekend against the Raiders in 1998 (I was at that game)
-
Tyler Thigpen catching a TD!
October 5, 2003 was prolly the most memorable game for me. Family had season tickets from 98 - 08 and it was a blast growing up. Very blessed to have those memories.
Jamaal Charles 5 td game against the Raiders
Bono bootleg
Crennel’s firat game as HC after firing Haley and Pioli and Cassel and our huge upset over GB and Rodgers with Kyle Orton under center.
Fucking demolishing the Pats and benching Brady on MNF in our red on red.
-
Derrick Thomas getting in a fight as a rookie and it went over by the benches and you saw his hand reach up and grab the other guy, I think by the facemask. It was epic.
-
Montana beating Houston to take us to the AFC Championship game
-
The total reliability of Tony G. on third down and never, ever dropping a pass. And when he would “dunk” the football.
-
KC Wolf beating up on opposing teams’ dummies
-
Neil Smith’s golf swing and the pass rush of him, Saleamua, and DT. This defense reminds me of those days.
-
Dante Hall in the playoffs. Tamarick Vanover on Monday night football.
-
Tony Fucking Richardson absolutely annihilating people
-
Jason Whitlock (before he was an embarrassment) calling out “King Carl” Peterson for his arrogant ways. Whitlock and Posnanski were must-reads. Every week, for years and years. Posnanski’s column about chess and Priest Holmes is a classic.
-
Thanksgiving game 2005. Had turkey dinner in the parking lot and then KC beat Denver in a really good game.
-
Hungry Pig Right Every Jamaal Charles moment Eric Berry Pick 6 and Pick 2 in the same game. More so the pick 2
One of my favorite moments was December 8th 2016 when Tyreek takes a punt return to the house. There had been a holding penalty against the Raiders to they had to punt again. The crowd had been chanting “TY REEK” during the break and we were sitting lower endzone behind him. Absolutely epic moment.
THE JAMAALOCAUST LIVES FOREVER
