1. Colts/Chiefs 96. This is far and away the worst one. I think the Chiefs have had better teams lose in the playoffs, but the unspoken truth is that this is probably the best chance the Chiefs had to actually get to the Super Bowl. The 97 loss and 2003 loss were brutal but we were playing HOF QBs in both of those games and it was very clear it would be a hard fought contest. In 95, we went into that game knowing the Steelers had knocked off the Bills. There were no great QBs left, or honestly great offensive weapons. The Colts had Harbaugh and Lamont Warren at RB. The Steelers had Neil O'Donnell and Bam Morris and Eric Pegram. Even with Bono, that team had every reason to get to the Super Bowl. And if the kicker could have made a kick, maybe they would have.

2. Colts/Chiefs 13. We had a new coach, new QB, things seemed to have completely turned around from the rock bottom Pioli disaster in just one year. Then they get a 28 point lead in the third quarter, and you think it really has changed, the curse was over. Then it wasn't.

3. Chiefs/Broncos 98. Yeah.

4. Royals/Giants game 4. I'm going to pick a different game, because once Bumgarner came in it was like watching a slow march to death and it felt impossible to beat him. Even when game 4 loss happened I was frustrated by it. We had a chance to go up 3-1 on the Giants and had an early lead in this game, but we blew it in the 5th and 6th innings and couldn't get it to the cyborgs. I truly believe if they could have just held the fort for a couple innings they win that World Series. This is the one game SF won without riding Baumgarner.

5. Chiefs/Colts 07. This was like watching a slow death too. I knew how horrific the Colts run defense had been. Worst in the league. They literally gave up 100 yards rushing in every single game, gave up 200+ rushing yards multiple times and had given up almost 400 yards rushing to the Jags a few weeks before as things got progressively worse. And we had Larry Johnson, a monster RB who would roll the train right over them on the way to the 2nd round. Sure thing. And on top of that we held Peyton Manning in check and picked him off 3 times. Yet somehow, we were lucky to get 100 yards of total offense and got whipped.
