My opinion is that the 1969 defense was the best in the history of the NFL, and the 2019 offense would have to turn the game into an aerial shootout, and rely on Mahomes field generalship,because the 1969 defensive line would stop the run.<br /><br />The 1969 offense featured Len Dawson to Otis Taylor, who was very difficult to cover with his size and speed. He would have been a test for any secondary. <br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04163265222534373467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4958997061437462003.post-51133815612484088202020-02-26T19:00:04.720-07:002020-02-26T19:00:04.720-07:00don't know if its fair to compare the 2 teams ...don't know if its fair to compare the 2 teams , I will say this the 69 chiefs defense was great , but they had no one in that secondary was going to guard hill , Watkins or Kelsey . plus this 2019 team is pretty young while the 69 chiefs were a veteran squad and seasoned . this 2019 team in my opinion is just getting started everythingfootball62@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14499786054096151620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4958997061437462003.post-75429502807133824452020-02-16T23:20:43.269-07:002020-02-16T23:20:43.269-07:001969 Chiefs team is 100 times better than this 201...1969 Chiefs team is 100 times better than this 2019 joke .<br />I'd list 12 HOF'ers on that 69'team ...what does the 19' team have ? <br />ANSWER : ZERO !

They were certainly the best AFL team ever. People forget Dawson was out for a number of games yet despite that the Chiefs won every game he was out. They had no weaknesses and the talent level may have been the highest I ever seen for a team. People also forget how far ahead of it's time the kicking game was. patzeramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10739793786471325913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4958997061437462003.post-70005529943273922372020-02-01T09:18:17.608-07:002020-02-01T09:18:17.608-07:002019 offense is of course faster, 69 more 'bul...2019 offense is of course faster, 69 more 'bullish' (but certainly not slow)….and I'll argue that guards are much more athletic trapping and pulling assuming we're going to use 'hands in' rules for blocking 69 defense has all those HoFers…..even factoring in my "old-school" bias, I like Hank Stram's guys over Andy Reid's (and betting that Reid will eventually be HoF as well)JHoltgymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13751235587015111105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4958997061437462003.post-32164950700739859802020-02-01T09:09:18.611-07:002020-02-01T09:09:18.611-07:00Another great article, John - thanks.

My father was upset that the tickets went for $15 and you could have walked up and bought tickets for much less because of the weather. The more I think about the 1969 Chiefs, the more I think it may have been one of the best teams ever. All those HOF players and a bunch just under HOF players. Players that were evolutionary advances at their positions - those advances are what makes today's lineups so dynamic.Sir Percyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09869670662978765040noreply@blogger.com
