There is a reason why SI ran a cover saying Dallas-SF was the real Super Bowl. The top of the NFC was in a different class then. Pittsburgh was a good team and they were throttled by the '95 Cowboys.
The best chance the Chiefs had was in '97, and Montana was long gone by then. |

That's what I remember. Montana never had an Irvin type WR here in KC nor a playmaking TE either. Would have helped for sure.

All this talk about "we weren't beating the Cowboys" is giving me the redass... get Joe Cool to the big game in one piece, and ANYTHING was possible

in 95 we were 1st in def and rushed for 2200 yards with an inferior qb. I think we were a Joe away in 95

It's not just Montana; it's equally infuriating to watch highlights of games from that era with Rich Gannon holding a ****ing clipboard while Bono and Grbac were on the field.

Heh. If you said that to Raiderhader you'd need to go into witness protection. I don't really care.
Gannon being an infinitely superior quarterback to both Bono and Grbac is simply undeniable. I don't know what he did in practice or personally to either earn Marty's ire or not earn his respect, but we are all worse off for it. The worst thing Marty ever did, and I mean ever, was start that useless **** Grbac over Gannon in that playoff game against Denver. I remember in an interview Grunhard was asked what would have happened had Gannon started that game, and his reply was "I'd have a Super Bowl ring." That game still haunts me. Mahomes and the Super Bowl diminished it some, but not much. |

I remember feeling bad for the old guy.
I really wanted to watch him play one more year to see what might have been, but I really didn't want to see him died on the field. |

It's all just selective memory. That team was 100% driven by the defense. Go back and watch the games - the team was exactly the same regardless of who was under center. Should they have stuck with Gannon? Sure. Was it the difference between a 1st round loss and a Super Bowl ring? No ****ing way. The difference between Gannon and Grbac was never big enough to overcome Marty. The worst thing Marty ever did was not step down after 1995. |

Dunno about you guys, but this year with Mahomes and this team made me realize how far away we really were all those other years. We thought we were maybe close but it was never true. Now I know what it’s like to have a true super bowl caliber team and we were never that close until the last few years.
