Definitely? I disagree. It’s not even the one play that sticks out in my mind with THAT GAME. Montana’s prone position in mid-air after being hit by Bruce Smith is the one I remember. Montana left the game with a concussion after that. The one play you all are referring to, I believe, was at the end of the first half and would have made the game 20-14. Buffalo was the much better team that day, anyway, and to say it was Anders’ play that made the difference is ludicrous.

Anders was the best fullback in the league during his career. Just like Tony Richardson was. He was a gifted athlete and a good ball carrier. Only until Gunther Cunningham became coach was that realized. Cunningham made him his premier back until tragicly Anders ruptured his achilles tendon. That pretty much ended his career.

I was sorry to see Anders go. He was/is a great man.

Good career – sad that his memory is definitely that one that Rin mentioned.

01/07/1996 Indianapolis Colts @ Kansas City Chiefs L, 10-7 13-4-0 77,594

Even if Elliott picked up those FG’s…that’s 16 points. High-powered for sure.

Trot is an accurate description, as the Cards D bit, hook, line, and bootleg.

Game, set, match: Buffalo Bills – AFC Champions.

In 1993, Paul Hackett’s first season in KC, the offense still had some lusty semblance down the field desire. As it developed over the next few years it strangled itself via an amazing ‘demo’ self-restraint. By the next season 1994, Kimble was the leading receiver…as he was the season aft…and the next and- well, you get the idea.

The Chiefs ’swing pass’ offense- oh, what a sight it was. Carefully crafted nee constructed to take you down the field – sideways – & into field goal range…or almost a TD (Marty), most usually. And Paul Hackett fell so in love with it, that it was to become even more of a staple…in the forehead Chiefs seasons aft as well post season prowess.

Take no chances, seek no throat, simply…try and find a small crevice…place temporarily to hide, disappear, and with it, take a nibble ra’her than a bite outta gridiron. Sometimes center the field most usually sideways, throw it to Kimble. Worked fine – wonderfully even regular season tho it was Chinese water torture to fandom or perhaps merely Worlds of Fun, sans any.

Kimble Anders could have been more but as he was, embraced sufficiency most usually. Alas, like Dr. Richard Kimball – wrongly accused of a crime that he did not commit – Anders was blamed for a loss of momentum that cold winters day Buffalo, 1994.

The fact is, the one-armed man this case Kimble’s most inopportune moment was joined later by Joe’s head…BUFs icy field, KCs frozen in place a step too slow defense – all guilty as charged…Kimble had help and lots of it.

I don’t blame you Kimble…but if so also charge Schottenheimer, Hackett, Montana, defense…well, it is a team game.

Coach…best of luck.

I do remember an interview with some Chiefs players saying that year we went 13-3 with Bono they were in more of a “don’t screw it up and lose the game” mode more so than “we can beat anyone we play” team. Seems like it was Will Shields, but don’t quote me on that.

Didn’t Anders rupture his tendon (I don’t want to even attempt to butcher the medical name) in his ankle a year or so later?

Looking forward to the update later today. I kinda’ wonder how much, or what (if anything) they do different behind “closed doors”…as opposed to what they do with the media watching.

And good luck to Kimble Anders. Great, under-rated player (except by us Chiefs fans, who know better) and a class guy.

Most folks work at their ‘jobs’ 50 weeks out of the year and none of that activity or work is voluntary. If you’re a professional at any level, in any field of endeavor, the same rules apply or should. Why all the pretense?

Okay, rant over. Thanks for the update Bob. Once training camp starts in July, I’d be most curious to learn your observations and comparisons between camp Herm and camp Haley.
