I say this as someone who casually bickers on CP, of course, acknowledging the irony.

Oh, you're 100% correct. Like I said before, I made the mistake of tuning into the train wreck when I was away from CP and now I can't look away. The stupidity is mesmerizing.

Yeah, no.

We only need him next week if we win, and I’m sure that’s exactly how Mahomes felt

Henne did a great job on that drive, but they guy was limited when he was young, which he is not.

I have zero confidence in Henne over a large sample size to win a big game against a quality opponent.

I don't look at it as bailing him out.

I look at it as being efficient with what you have.

Do you honestly think we're winning that game with Henne playing the rest of the way?

No, I don't think so. There's a chance... maybe they pound the rock and it works, Pacheco takes over the game, something. The defense played pretty well.

I give Henne credit for doing his job on that drive, but a 98 yard TD drive was a pretty unlikely outcome and you don't manage the game like you can expect that to continue or like you won't need any more points.

I can assure you, I'm not misinterpreting it. I've seen dozens of posts on FB this morning saying we should have held Mahomes out because we need him next week. Dozens. I'll leave it at that.

Fair enough.

But it was still only one drive. To win the game, we were going to have to complete a pass longer than 6 yards. That's not Henne.

It's cool man. It's my fault for looking at that shit anyway. I should have tuned it out a long time ago.

I get that.

I don't think any team truly expects to win a playoff game with the backup if their top QB in the league goes down.

The people yammering for Henne to be the starter for the second half are thinking that playing would further injure Mahomes, IMO.

That's silly, simply because Pat knows if he's able to play.

Yeah, it can be maddening. I am wondering if we'll see debate as the week goes on about who should be playing in the AFCCG. Probably will depend on the news we are getting out of 1 Arrowhead Drive as the days progress.

He has been a QB for 25 years? Oh rly? Why have I never heard of you, random dude? :shake:ROFL

Let me say this:

I am so thankful for CP. It's really nice to come back here and see real football talk from people who actually know the game.
