Its a God damn travesty that Marty kept trotting Bono's worthless ass out there over Gannon. Im sure if Gannon would have started then we would have won. So while some blame falls on Elliott, for missing the kicks, Marty and Bono deserve an equal share of the blame. Hell no ome ever blames them. Its always Elliotts fault.

That former player was Grunhard. I remember, right before we played the Colts in 2003, they had him on the radio and he was still livid about the game plan. However, it's not like they had Bono drop back 45 times and sling it all over the yard. He had 25 attempts. He was at his worst in the 4th quarter, throwing two picks, then he got yanked. That said, the defense played lights out and kept getting the ball back. The offense managed to move into FG position (39 and 42) twice in the 4th quarter. Your kicker HAS to make those.
Everyone had a hand in this. Bono tossing three picks. Elliot missing three FGs. Dawson dropping a sure fire, game-winning TD. This was probably the Chiefs' worst game of the year, offensively, and they still should have won.
I'm still devastated over this game. I remember watching thinking that if they could just get by the Colts, they would have gone to the SB. That defense was incredible.
