IMO, in no way was the 2014 Royals scarring, and I was at game 7 of the WS (and paid out the ass for it).... that was such an amazing and unexpected run.... I mean, 2 minutes after the final out, fans in our section were chanting "thank you, Roy-als". And you knew they'd be back. Yeah, watching the game wasn't all sunshine and roses, but it was all just icing on the cake at that point........ similar to KU/Kentucky in the NC (except baseball is much more of a 50/50 game, of course).
I agree about the 14 ws loss. I just knew we would get back. I just knew that group would win one.

  1. Chiefs playoff game at Miami - '90 season. Marino comes back from down 13 in the 4th Q. Chiefs get to the 30 or so down by 1. Okoye runs it down to the 10, should be game over. Nope - holding Dave Szott - which no one ever saw, and I'm told was just because he pancaked his man and he defender pulled him down onto him. Deberg can't get any more yards. Lowery misses a 50-yarder with the wind - dead center perfect - one yard short. Nothing will ever hurt as much as that game. A piece of me died that day.
  2. The nameless kicker game.
  3. Tom Watson in the British open at 59 years old.
  4. Tyus Edny - I was watching with a bunch of my friends who went to Mizzou.
  5. Probably Phil Mickelson at Winged Foot - so painful.

1. The Fumble
2. The Drive
3. Red Right 88
4. Game 7, 1997 World Series
5. Can't think of one.

That's how I was with the Chris Chambliss Royals game. Just a little too young to be devastated. I do remember my Mom locking herself in her room.

It's amazing I can't think of one scarring loss by the Royals since. It never really felt like we were in the 1980 WS, or any of the other playoffs we lost before '85. Then we didn't have any playoffs for 29 years. As bad as the Bumgarner game was - I was so happy just to make it that far that I can't put it in my most painful losses.

The Chiefs OTOH have been just a factory of pain since 1990 or so. Quite impressive actually.

I'd not say games but individual plays...

The fumble off a lineman's head back to Luck for a TD....

Mariota's pass to himself for a TD...

Those are plays driven by forces outside of anyone's control...literally 1 in a million chance. Both situations, the defender made a great, drive ending play which just added to the surrealism....they both ended up being the difference in the game.

Chiefs have lost two post-season games directly as a result of once in a lifetime, freak occurrences...in a span of 4 seasons.

You are left without a tangible explanation...

I wasn't going to put any golf ones but that Tom Watson one is a real good pick. Just because it would have been one of the most unbelievable things to ever happen in sports. I'm not sure there's anything you can compare to that.

I actually think Watson losing that Open was bad for Watson fans and KC but good for golf. A 59-year-old guy winning a major is a bad look for a sport, IMO.

That was about as deflating as you can get. There was no hope to win anything meaningful.

Don’t forget trading picks for Herm Edwards. That started the dark ages of chiefs football.

We were 3-0, at home, favored by -14.5 against a 1-2 shit team. Shut out 16-0 as Joe threw 3 picks. The Lambs would go 2-10 (!) the rest of the way.
I so remember that game. LOL

Trading for Cassel was so much worse than trading for Smith.

I was so sad for him and it's okay for a 59 year-old to win the open. The PGA or the US open would be a different matter.

Not at the time.

Half the fanbase, myself included, was convinced he was the next Trent Green, or even better, a younger version!

Cassel was like Montana after all that Huard-Croyle-Thigpen bullshit.

We learned fast. ROFL
