1986 NFL GOTW Week 16 Chiefs Steelers

[@westarsatelliteservices2428]

For the "Mark Malone was the worst QB the Steelers ever drafted" talk; please. Terry Hanratty, who they had so much confidence in, they drafted Bradshaw after one season. Joe Gilliam, who couldn't stay off drugs, Mike Kruczek, all they let him do was hand the ball off. And the aforementioned Stoudt. That doesn't even include all the QBs they drafted I've never heard of, most of whom never made the team or cracked the starting lineup.

[@TomG1555]

Malone and Stoudt suffered from "you're not Bradshaw" complex (same as Danny White had succeeding Staubach) - it's hard to come after a legend, with the expectations the fans have created of not being used to anything but excellence.

The background 🎶 at 11:50 gives me chill blades! It was ALSO used as background 🎶 for the PATRIOTS LAST regular season game at the OLD Orange Bowl (12/22/1986) on "INSIDE THE NFL" on HBO (the good old DAYS! WITH Len Dawson & Nick Buonoconti!). Too bad THAT show switched Networks! 😥 😢

The 70/80s music scores NFL FILMS used was awesome, always worked so well with the highlights being shown. I love the one used @ 14:44

Donnie Shell #31 of the Pittsburgh Steelers Career Accomplishments Undrafted free agent in 1974 Pittsburgh Steelers (1974-87) 5x Pro Bowl selection 4x All-Pro selection 4x Super Bowl Champion His 51 interceptions were the most ever for a strong safety when he retired. 19 fumble recoveries Pro Football Hall of Fame selection Nicknamed "The Torpedo" due to his superior closing speed and eagerness to launch himself. Tony Dungy stated in his autobiography "Quiet Strength" that Shell was one of his closest friends on the team and a mentor on and off the field. While his stats match up with other great defensive backs in his or any era, numbers shouldn't define what made Shell unique. It was that fearlessness and effort that he played with on every snap. It was his peerless athleticism that enabled him to chase down the fastest of players. It was the leadership he displayed to his younger teammates, teaching them the Steeler Way of doing things.

How painful it was in the 80s watching the mediocre QB play after Bradshaw. There were chances to add a QB: sign Doug Williams in 1983, draft Boomer Esiason or Jeff Hostetler In 1984, trade for Steve Young in 1987. And yes, Marino. The defensive front seven was pretty good, but the secondary stunk until Woodson, Everett and Lake came aboard.

[@superpatriot1052]

Bubby Briefer was in there as QB in 80's. I've been a Steelers fan since 1979 & the 80's were ruff very very ruff

[@rustykuntz94]

@@superpatriot1052 Bubby Brister you mean? Steelers had Cliff Stout, David Woodley, a few other mehhh QB's. Mark Malone was the worst, I mean he could show flashes of solid play but wayyyy too inconsistent and a malcontent with the media.

[@rustykuntz94]

To be fair 26 other teams also passed on Marino but I get it he was a Western PA kid and if it wasn't for all those BS cocaine rumors around Danny boy he would have gone probably after Elway of all those QB's in the 83 draft. Hard to believe Tony Eason, Todd Blackledge & Ken O'Brien all were picked ahead of Marino. At least Elway & Jim Kelly were Hall of Famers.

[@rustykuntz94]

This might have been the best special teams effort ever in 1 game by a unit here by KC

[@Price70]

Remember this like was yesterday. 3 special teams TDs

[@mr.hhistoryrescue3543]

I remember it too. Now, I wish I didn't! LOL

[@vicepresidentmikepence889]

The chiefs make playoffs for the first time in 15 years, so they did what any team, who makes the playoffs for the first time in 15 years, they fired the head coach

[@pounddog77]

Music around the 4:05 mark? Always use to hear it often on Inside the NFL in the ‘80s.

[@rustykuntz94]

Def a classic 80s NFL Films music piece, not sure of the name but love it

[@DNSKansas]

John Makovic's last win as an NFL head coach.

[@brianbachmeier34]

Deron Cherry! What a player and leader. www.chiefs.com/video/where-are-they-now-deron-cherry-9552746

[@mkendra29]

Did the Chiefs ever give a believable reason for Mackovic's firing? He should have been CotY given how bad their offense was that season; was it that the Hunts figured that Gansz could be better or was it something about Mac's reputation? I've never found anything in web searching. Sometimes firing a coach after a surprisingly successful season can be a blessing in disguise - my hometown Warriors come to mind in that they upgraded from Jackson to Kerr - but what happened here Chiefs fans?

[@TomG1555]

From what I've read, Mackovic was an old-school coach who was not well liked anywhere he went, and wore out his welcome within a few years. Gansz was a great special teams coach who teams loved to play for, but pretty clearly overmatched as a head coach (and as it turns out, fabricated most of his coaching resume, which was probably part of why his time as a HC was very short): kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppe3dHtnq6mKqpo

love dat harry kalas GO LIONS !!!!

[@raygordonteacheschess5501]

Giants 55-24 over Green Bay gets my vote.

[@jonathanbenoit8828]

I love the Steelers, but I couldn't stand Mark Malone, worst quarter back Steelers Ever drafted.

[@dwissba68]

He was better than Cliff Stoudt

[@ericdagostino5682]

Harry Newsome worst punter ever in 3 year span had over 10 punts blocked

[@howardcosell2022]

Chuck Noll was trying to rid of Craig Colquitt for a few years before Newsome took his place. Colquitt never had a kick blocked in his 6 seasons with the Steelers

[@christopherdelgaudio9484]

The music blows !! come on man!!!

[@jonesbrandon76]

BEST MUSIC FOR NFL FILMS...scrotum face

[@davidthomas8260]

I thought the same thing. I have never heard this music on an NFL films highlight before. It is awful.

[@jimdog6014]

Agree. Music was terrible, the classic NFL Films music through the 70s and first part of the 80s was nearly as enjoyable as the highlights.
