Rip RIP we will never forget uu

[@OfficialJaguarGator9]

Imagine being a Seahawks fan in 1990. You had this game, you had 3 games that went into overtime, and you had the week 16 Sunday night game against the Broncos where the Broncos won on a Hail Mary on the final play, only for the refs to call a penalty and take it away. Five unbelievable finishes

[@JWex-jy7sk]

And despite a 9-7 record still missed the playoffs They lost the next game after this, but then went 5-1 in their last 6 games. On the last day of the season they needed a 3-12 Browns team to beat the Bengals in the early game, but Cincinnati prevailed 21-14 and Seattle was eliminated by the start of their game against Detroit.

[@kimblandino]

Derek Loville was the opening day starter at RB for SEA and had 9 carries for 6 yards or something and never played again until 1994 with the 49ers

[@aant429]

Looks like the Seahawk have always liked giving their fans heart attacks

[@GlamprinceRockking]

@@kimblandino Didn't he play for the Broncos before the 49ers ? I refuse to Google the answer 😥😂

[@jg9highlights184]

For a lot of defensive ends and linebackers, 6 sacks is a solid season Derrick Thomas had 2 separate games where he had 6+ sacks (this one and a 1998 game against the Raiders). He was on a different level

[@iagreebut2216]

Hey I Subscribed to you

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

As a Raiders fan, I vividly remember that Week 1 destruction. Jon Gruden and Charles Woodson's first games with the Raiders. And Thomas could've gotten 9 sacks that night. The Chiefs had 10. Jeff George took a righteous beating.

[@josephvanhorn5347]

I remember someone asking Derrick Thomas what he remembered most about this game and he said something along the lines of “I never really think about the 7 sacks I DID get. It’s the 1 I DIDN’T get that kept me up at night.” That’s the mindset that enabled him to get 7 sacks in 1 game to begin with.

[@sparkofthedecade5152]

Dave Krieg is so underrated. Undrafted out of a college that no longer exists, retired over 20 years and is still top-25 in several passing categories.

[@jamesedwards2237]

As long as Krieg had breath in his lungs, I always believed that the Seahawks had a chance.

[@cyrillesu]

Derrick Thomas has arguably the best defensive performance of all-time and they still lose. '90s Chiefs football in a nutshell.

[@ericsigersmith2831]

Yea and his partner in crime on quarterbacks Neil Smith won back to back rings and im sure he was happy for him but it had to of been brutal seeing him do it in a broncos uniform

[@JaguarGator8]

Dave Krieg is the Philip Rivers of this era of football. Really good QB for a long period of time that was an absolute legend with his team, but got overshadowed by some other great QBs and is likely going to miss out on the Hall of Fame

[@ajburrr]

I think Philip Rivers will get into the Hall of Fame

[@astrostar49]

What also hurts Kreig more than Rivers is that he never led the league in any major passing category. Rivers has done this a few times at least, and had a year in 2010 where he was in the MVP conversation. Don't think Kreig ever had that feather in his cap at least.

[@Arigator2]

I'm a big Seahawks fan and I loved the 80s Seahawks. Dave Krieg doesn't deserve the hall of Fame but he was a very good player. He came from a small school that no longer exists and is an underdog story. He played pretty well for a long time and won a lot of games. His career record was 98-77.

[@ajburrr]

@@Arigator2 Remember though the defense helped Krieg win most of those games.

[@PhilJHaast7695]

Rivers was a step above Krieg. Krieg was not as consistent, which is why he changed teams a lot after he left Seattle. Krieg was more of a QB who played acceptably for a long time.

[@nukie2743]

Seahawks really need to wear their retro uni’s again someday. NFL needs to change the helmet rule.

Imaging having Seven sacks in One game and still losing and possibly winning it if he could just hold on

[@ghostintheshell3576]

Almost unimaginable lol

[@SPTO]

Derrick Thomas was just a beast! I have this one in my collection. Gotta say the shadow to light contrast is a lot better here. Anywho, it's a testament to Krieg to keep getting up and eventually throwing the dagger that beat KC.

[@willthorson4543]

David Krieg was an expert at fumbling the ball near his own goal. Lol. But i remember this game. I was in high school in Washington State. Largent was my favorite player and so was Paul Skansi. Haha

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

This game helped give my Raiders home field and the AFC West. KC lost again when Warren Moon almost broke Norm Van Brocklin's single game record for the Oilers. I was with my late father getting ready to go to the LA Coliseum for the Raiders/Bengals game most famous for Bo Jackson being caught at the one yard line on an 88 yard run by "Hot" Rod Jones. Great memories.

[@Joe_Mutombo]

Derrick Thomas inspired me to be an outside linebacker. With enough time and effort, I was able to make one on Madden

[@savagesavant4964]

lol

[@eddisonfoncette9103]

The ending of this game was poetic justice, for all the years and tough losses we suffered in Arrowhead Stadium. Dave Kreig, was immense he took a beating hung in there and delivered the game winning TD pass. I love RW, he is the MVP in franchise history, and his assessment of the line is completely valid but he should look at this game and take note. Kreig , practically played his entire Hawks career behind this porous line but he never publicly called out HC, Chuck Knox, & GM, Mike McCarthy. Different times I guess. Go Hawks

[@scottspy]

I was at this game, I couldn't believe the Chiefs lost! #58 was incredible!

[@CharlesUrban]

O.J. Simpson was on NBC Sports for a while? I guess that arrangement ended when he traded talking about the Broncos for evading the police in a Bronco.

[@scoobafloom]

Dave Kreig is under appreciated

[@aidanmiranda6140]

Yeah because most people only know hall of fame qbs from the 80s and 90s none of the good ones. And half the Seattle fanbase started watching them in 2013 so they only know Russ and Hasselbeck

[@chieftricky]

I wish we would of had Derrick Thomas and that Chiefs defense with Mahomes and the our offense now. We would be unstoppable we would definitely go undefeated. (RIP Derrick Thomas)

[@UberKrispy]

No. thats not true.

[@Masterofxtreme93]

Proof that not all legendary performances result in a W. Reminds me of the time Rich Hill had the pitching performance of a lifetime against the Pirates in 2017...only for the Dodgers to lose in the 10th inning

Everyone is talking about Derrick Thomas, and rightfully so. Nobody is talking about Neil Smith #90 or Dan Saleaumua #97 (1:41). All three were in on that play for a reason. That defensive front was ferocious. Maybe you should watch this game again with an eye on those two and how they helped Thomas get those sacks by giving the QB nowhere to escape.

0:56 it's amazing. Well, not really. 1990, the most accurate kicker was 77% 30 years later, the most accurate kicker is 90%, and most of all, kickers are above 85% .. but back then, in the 1990s, they didn't really go for 50+ yarders on a normal basis. Nowadays it's expected and they're still hitting them. I've been kind of spoiled because I've been a Ravens fan since 97 and have had Justin Tucker for 15 years.. but I also had to deal with Billy Cundiff.... _cough_ *fcker* _cough_ Edit: I looked it up, 28 current NFl kickers are 80% or better. Other than kickers, it's amazing how much the game changes each decade.
