not to be the one that stirs the pot.....

[buckeyechief2003]

but why the hell did we keep carl peterson for the future, i forget how many years was added to his contract but he has more than worn out his welcome in kc.

as for larry johnson, there is NO WAY!!!!! this guy should leave kc, holmes is very good but tends to be injury prone, johnson is kc's future.

i am still mad that tait is gone

Does anybody know what the Chiefs palyoff record is under Carl?

[Primusgod]

Playoff record 7-12
Since CP 3-8
1988: After another poor 4-11-1 season, the Chiefs would have a major shake up at the top as Carl Peterson took over as the club's President/General Manager and Chief Operating Officer. One of his first moves would be to replace Coach Fran Ganaz, who struggled miserably in his 2 season at the helm. Eventually Peterson would hire Marty Schottenheimer, who had led the Browns to 2 straight Conference Title Appearances away from Cleveland.

1989: With the 4th overall pick in the draft the Chiefs select Butkus award winning LB Derrick Thomas out of Alabama. Thomas would make an immediate impact earning Defensive Rookie of the Year honors. However, the Chiefs would get off to a slow start winning just 3 of their first 8 games. However, the Chiefs would finish strong led by RB Christian Okoye set a club record and became the first Chief to lead the NFL in rushing with 1,480 yards as the team finished with an 8-7-1 record.

1990: Playing the game in honor of his father who was killed in Vietnam, Derrick Thomas has the game of his life sacking Seattle Seahawks QB Dave Kreig 7 times, setting a new single game record, on his way to a league leading 20 sacks. However, the effort would be in vain as Kreig beat the Chiefs 17-16 with a last-second TD pass. However, the loss would only serve as a lesson for the Chiefs who up to that point had only played mediocre 5-4 football. The Chiefs would go on to win 6 of their final 7 games to finish with an 11-5 record, and a playoff spot. In the wild card game the Chiefs were matched up with the Dolphins in Miami. The Chiefs would hold a 4th Quarter lead, but would fall as QB Dan Marino led the Dolphins down the field for a late TD to advance to the next round.

1991: The Chiefs enjoyed another strong 10-6 regular season. A pair of prime-time Monday night affairs highlighted the home portion of the schedule. On October 7, the Chiefs toppled the defending AFC Champion Buffalo Bills, 33-6, in the club's first home Monday night game in eight years. Three weeks later, the Chiefs tallied a thrilling come-from-behind 24-21 win over the Los Angeles Raiders in front of a national audience. The season was good enough to earn the Chiefs a Wild Card spot, and a home playoff game for the 1st time in Arrowhead Stadium. In the Wild Card game against the Raiders, the Chiefs would play dominant defense forcing 6 turnovers in a 10-6 win that was the team's first post season win since Super Bowl IV. A week later the Chiefs visited Buffalo for an AFC Divisional Playoff match up. The Bills dynamic offense would prove to be too much for the Chiefs in a 37-14 setback that propelled Buffalo, led by former Chiefs head Coach Marv Levy toward a 2nd straight Super Bowl.

1992: The Chiefs battled through an injury-riddled season, during which a playoff berth never seemed certain. On the regular season's final Sunday, the Chiefs faced the Broncos in a game that would send the winner into the playoffs. The Chiefs defense tallied three touchdowns, while QB Dave Krieg tossed a pair of scoring passes as the Chiefs buried Denver 42-20. However, the Chiefs would make a quick exit form the playoffs losing 17-0 to the Chargers in San Diego. Following the season FS Dale Carter was named NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.

1993: The Chiefs spent the off-season retooling their offense. On April 20, the Chiefs traded for QB Joe Montana, who directed the San Francisco 49ers to 4 Super Bowl victories. The Chiefs swapped their 1st Round in the '93 draft to the 49ers in exchange for Montana, safety David Whitmore and San Francisco's third-round pick in 1994. Kansas City wasn't done loading up the offense. On June 9 the club signed unrestricted free agent RB Marcus Allen. The additions paid off as the Chiefs went 11-5, and won their first AFC West title since 1971. Kansas City fans got its first true taste of "Montana Magic", as the Hall of Fame QB engineered a brilliant comeback in a Wild Card Round win over the Steelers. The Chiefs trailed Pittsburgh, 24-17, as the two-minute warning sounded. On fourth-and-goal from the seven, Montana fired a game-tying TD pass to WR Tim Barnett, forcing overtime, where PK Nick Lowery booted a 32-yard field goal as Arrowhead Stadium erupted. The Chiefs would advance to play the Oilers in a Divisional Playoff match up in Houston. The heavily favored Oilers opened up a 13-7, fourth-quarter lead, but once again, Montana had a comeback in mind. First, he hit wide WR J.J. Birden for an 11-yard TD, and then he found WR Willie Davis open in the end zone from 18 yards out. RB Marcus Allen would nail the game shut with a 21-yard TD dash as the Chiefs advanced to the AFC Championship Game with a 28-20 decision. However the Chiefs magic run would end in Buffalo as the Bills won their 4thh straight Lamar Hunt Trophy to advance to the Super Bowl.

1994: On October 17th a Monday Nigh audience found itself enraptured by a duel of QB greats Joe Montana, and John Elway of the Broncos at Mile High Stadium in Denver Elway would lead the Broncos down the field late in the 4th Quarter to take a 28-24 lead, but Montana would answer with a great drive of his own leading the Chiefs throwing a game winning TD pass with 7 seconds remaining. However, the Chiefs struggled through out much of the season, and sat at 8-6 heading into the final game of the season in Los Angeles against the Raiders. In the do-or-die game RB Marcus Allen burning his former team with 133 yards rushing en route to a 19-9 win the would secure the 6th and final playoff spot. However the Chiefs would make a quick exit from the playoffs in what would prove to be Joe Montana's NFL swan song. The Chiefs would fall 27-17 to the Dolphins in Miami, as the Montana Magic ran out.

1995: The Chiefs jump out of the gates quickly getting off to a 10-1 start, on their way to a 13-3 season, which earned them Home Field Advantage through out the playoffs. On the way to 13-3 the Chief led the NFL in rushing, scoring defense and turnover ratio, the 3 hallmarks of a solid football team. The Chiefs were a favorite to go to the Super Bowl as the playoffs began. In a divisional playoff math up with Indianapolis Cots most thought the Chiefs would walk all over the over Colts who play their home games in a dome, but were now playing in an 11 icebox at Arrowhead. However, the Chiefs would blow several scoring opportunities as PK Lynn Elliot missed 5 FG attempts in a stunning 10-7 loss that sent the Colts to the AFC Championship.

1996: The Chiefs finish with a 9-7 record and en a 6 year streak of making the playoffs. During the season, RB Marcus Allen set three NFL records: most career rushing touchdowns, most game played by a running back and most pass receptions by a running back.

1997: The club engineered several dramatic finishes, the first of which came on September 8th at Oakland when QB Elvis Grbac collaborated with WR Andre Rison on a improbable 32-yard TD pass with seconds remaining to provide the Chiefs with a 28-27 win over the Raiders. After posting a 6-2 record during the season's first half, Kansas City's good fortune finally appeared to run out on November 3rd against the Steelers, when Grbac suffered a broken clavicle. However, back-up QB Rich Gannon would com on to preserve a win in that contest and lead the team to a 5-1 mark in their next six 6 outings. However the most memorable moment of the season came when PK Pete Stoyanovich provided one of the year's most memorable moments, connecting on a line-drive 54-yard FG to give Kansas City a 24-22 win over Denver on November 16th. The win was a key for the 13-3 Chiefs as it gave AFC West title over the Broncos. The Chiefs season would end on an up note as Grbac returned to the starting line-up for the regular season finale against the New Orleans Saints leading the Chiefs to a perfect 8-0 record at Arrowhead Stadium. In the Divisional Playoffs the Chiefs would be forced to play the Broncos again. Despite holding an edge in total yardage, the Chiefs could not convert on several key scoring opportunities, and would fall 14-10 to the eventual Super Bowl Champion Broncos.

1998: The Chiefs once again get off to a fast start winning 4 of their first 5 games. However, a 6-game losing streak would doom the Chiefs to their first losing record in 10 years, as teh Chiefs suffered through 7-9 season. Following the season Head Coach Marty Schottenheimer would resign leaving long time assistant Gunther Cunningham behind to take over the coaching reigns.

1999: Despite playing inconstant football the Chiefs entered the final game of the season with a 9-6 record only needing a win over the Oakland Raiders at Arrowhead to qualify for the playoffs. The Chiefs would hold a late 38-35 lead before the Raiders tied it, and won in OT with a pair or Joe Nedney FGs. The Chiefs season would end in heartbreak at 9-7, but the upcoming off-season would be unbearable. Shortly after the season ended LB Derrick Thomas was injured on an icy Kansas City Highway. Thomas who was not wearing his seatbelt was paralyzed form the waist down. However, the news would go from bad to worst a month later when the injury resulted in a blood clot that would kill the star Linebacker.

2000: The heavyhearted Chiefs would struggle all season struggling to finish 7-9. Following the season Coach Guntehr Cunningham was dismissed, and QB Elvis Grbac was allowed to walk away as the Chiefs set up to rebuild under new Head Coach thingy Vermeil.

2001: Under new coach thingy Vermiel, the Chiefs went through a year of transition, and sat at 3-9 through their first 12 games. The Chiefs would win their next 3 before finishing with a 6-10 record. However the Chiefs found a star in RB Priest Holmes who captured the NFL's rushing title.

2002: Priest Holmes continued to establish himself as one of the top Running Backs in the NFL scoring a league high 24 Touchdowns while 2,287 all-purpose yards on offense, on the way to winning the NFL offensive player of the year despite missing the last 2 games to a hip injury. Balancing Holmes would be QB Trent Green who had a solid season with 3690 passing yards and a 2-1 TD to interception ratio. However the Chiefs defense would struggle allowing 431 points on the season as the Chiefs posted a mediocre 8-8 record.

2003: The Chiefs came flying out of the gates winning their first 4 games easily as they entered an early season showdown with the Denver Broncos who were also 4-0 at Arrowhead Stadium. The game would be decided by Dante Hall who had his 4th straight game with a kick return Touchdown setting a new NFL record as the Chiefs improved to 5-0 with a 24-23 win. Trailing the Green Bay Packers on the road 31-14 the following week the Chiefs rallied with 20 points in the 4th Quarter as Trent Green passed for 400 yards. In overtime Green would find Eddie Kennison on a 51-yard game winning TD pass as the Chiefs improved to 6-0 with a dramatic 40-34 win. The Chiefs continued to roll winning their next 3 games before finally losing to the Cincinnati Bengals 24-19 in Week 11. Following their loss to the Bengals the Chiefs began to look shaky although they continued to win beating the lowly San Diego Charges and Oakland Raiders in their next 2 games to lock up the AFC West Title. However down the stretch the Chiefs would falter splitting their final 4 games to finish with a 13-3 record which would lose them home field advantage through out the playoffs. Despite the late season struggle Priest Holmes was able to set a new single season record with 28 Touchdowns. After a first round bye the Chiefs faced the Indianapolis Colts in the divisional round of the playoffs. The Chiefs found themselves behind the 8-ball early as the Colts scored 14 first quarter points on 2 long TD drives. However the Chiefs would answer back scoring 10 points on their first 2 drives. However the Colts would answer back with another TD on their 3rd possession of the first half while the Chiefs 3rd possession resulted in a missed Morten Andersen Field Goal. With the Colts leading 21-10 the Chiefs needed a score to start the second half, but when Priest Holmes' fumble led to a Colts Field Goal and a 14 point deficit. The Chiefs would answer back, only to have the Colts score again. Needing a jump start Dante Hall delivered one with a 92-yard kick return for a TD to cut the deficit to 7 points. However the Colts would answer back with another TD. The Chiefs needing to score quickly were able to strike back, but it took 7 minutes and they would never see the ball again as the Colts advanced to the AFC Championship with a 38-31 win, as the Colts never punted in the game.
