Throwback clip: Krieg to Skansi, 1990 at Arrowhead

Saw this linked over on Field Gulls:

Holy Derrick Thomas! Crazy play by Krieg, I'd love a little bit of history repeating Sunday.

Top 5 all-time Hawks memory for me.

One of my favorite moments in Seahawks history. All everyone talked about in the 90s was the number of sacks D. Thomas had in this game, without remembering that his missed eighth ( and the pluckiness of Kreig) cost the Chiefs the win.

Thanks for the memories, that play damned near made me put 16,000 gallons of gasoline in the ditch in Ninilchik, AK :thirishdrinkers:

I'll never forget that game. Jumped on the couch and knocked it over I was going so crazy.

Dave Krieg LAUGH'S over any complaints about the offensive line today. He'd die for a line like Seattle has right now. Let that sink in, then review Krieg's stats.

Krieg was a pure baller. Hence my son's middle-name; Krieg.

That was the day that I became hooked on Hawks football as a 10-year-old. I only rooted for the team casually up to then because I was more into basketball, but that finish was pure awesome and I became obsessed with the team (and eventually with all of football) going forward.

This is the moment my fandom began as well, as a 9 year old. Before this play I didn't get why people cared so much about what another team did, and then that play happened and it all made sense.

Went to several Seahawks games at Arrowhead back in the old AFC West days and that was the only win I ever saw live! Andy Heck was a turnstile that day.

How about the shove that guy put on Skansi. Man those were the days for defense. I think that play, the end of the orange bowl, efren herera on MNF, and fredd brown killing that Oakland punt returner in the kingdome are the best from the old days.

My brother being 8 years older than myself and a DIEHARD Chiefs fan was in my 10 year old face ALLLLL morning and giving me the business until this play happened. I remember it like it was yesterday! :0190l:

Mudbone was man that day! Full on Rocky Balboa performance that I will never forget. I remember wishing DT was a Seahawk for awhile after that.

I wear my sunglasses at night.... 8)

One of the best regular season moments in Seahawks history. I would love a repeat ending this Sunday please.

Saw that game, it was sooooo awesome! I'd forgotten that Chuck Knox was skinny at one time.

Afterwards Derrick Thomas said he would have given up all the previous sacks to get that one. I believe he set a record that game.

Remember watching that game, just as today, my dad couldn't watch anymore and left the room. When Krieg was on he was a legit top tier QB. Yes, equal to gods gift to QB's Joe Montana. He was just so inconsistent. Imagine if the Hawks had Aaron Rodgers for a couple of weeks then for some reason he turned in to Charlie Whitehurst. Those tiny hands...man, does he still hold the NFL record for fumbles?


I couldn't recall Whitehurst's name while typing this so I googled "clip board jesus", lol, guess who's name popped up.

Man that guy sucked.

Krieg was a stud and played 19 seasons in the NFL. Wish he had RW's hands, we may have won a couple more playoff games in the 80's and had the PNW version of Montana.
