the kicker that shall go unnamed breaks 22 year silence in new interview
I know, I know, he's the "kicker that shall not be named" but I found this interview fascinating. He takes a fair share of the responsibility but also calls out DT and the offense for not making more plays.
Here's your therapy session: https://youtu.be/Lxpkm-SkMI0 |

Well at least he broke his silence. Time to move on. Forgive and forget.

Could see in his eyes when he came on the field that day, he knew he would choke.

Yeah, I guess if Buffalo could forgive Norwood, we could do the same for Lin right? I think I was 6 years old at that time and I cried myself to sleep that night. My first real experience of Chiefs fandom. But I have watched the replay of that game a bunch of times. Looking back at the obviously flawed offense, does everyone really think we would not have choked the following week against Pitt or that we could actually beat Dallas in the SB? Nobody was beating Dallas that year. They made a statement when they doubled us up on Thanksgiving Day earlier that season.

I used to hate Lin Elliot, but I've softened, because the Colts kicker missed twice that day, too. Kicking conditions were awful. And that team wasn't going anywhere anyway. Biggest chokers in Chiefs playoff history: 1. Alex Smith, for blowing TWO home games he had obvious chances to win and being total garbage against the Pats in 2015. 2. Elvis Grbac. T-3. Assorted individuals: Kendrick Lewis, Dwayne Bowe, Greg Robinson

Yeah it’s all the QB. You’re about to find out real quick that that thinking is a fallacy.

In a 10-7 game... the kicker who missed 3 kicks saying that the offense or DT could have done more is tantamount to him saying... "they should have scored so I wouldn't have been put in that position". Despite those 3 interceptions, the defense held a pro football team to 10 points. Despite those 3 interceptions, Bono and co did enough to put the ball well within FG range for 3 attempts. Don't misunderstand... I agree that the offense SHOULD have done more but that just wasn't the case and that is just how some football games go. It was up to Elliott to win us the game and HE choked. He is the last person who should be shifting blame. Perhaps just a me thing but I wish, if he was gonna do an interview on the subject, that he would have just come out and owned it, apologized to the fans (for whatever that is worth), and left it at that. No calling out the offense or throwing dead Chiefs icons under the bus in any way. |

And it also puts things in context when we realize that the Chiefs are cursed. If Elliott had made all three kicks, the Colts would have returned all three ensuing kickoffs for touchdowns. That's how it works.
