Chiefs Should we have played Henne the entire 2nd half?

htismaqe · 01-23-2023, 08:40 AM

I keep seeing on social media that Chiefs fans are pissed at Mahomes and Reid and insist that Henne should have played the rest of the game.

I have to ask the Planet their opinion because I don't get it. It's the playoffs, it's win or go home. I don't see us winning that game with Henne because that last TD to MVS was pure Mahomes, Henne doesn't make that throw. Nor does he make a couple of the throws leading up to it.

Nah, no no thanks.

The RPM's may be redlined and yeah, something may catastrophically break loose. But I'm in the last lap here. There's no tomorrow at this point and the pit crew assured me nothing is broken to badly and or won't get worse so we're full throttle here.

Exactly.

I mean, they mounted a 98-yard TD drive. I get that people were excited but they all seem to forget that his very first pass was tipped and nearly intercepted.

Literally half of the drive was a RB popping out of a pile and going for 45 of that.

Great job Chad, head on back to the bench.

I haven't even seen this accusation on social media, much less heard of a fan or human being having this take.

Here's one. He not only said Henne should have finished the game, he said Mahomes was immature for not sitting out. Do you need more?

That looks like a rando twitter comment responding to a Chiefs fan account I've not heard of. I guess I don't really count those guys. Twitter repliers are flooding Twitter with crazy 24/7. I follow a fair amount of KC and Twitter accounts. The closest thing I saw was from PFT during the game suggesting the team needed to take the decision out of Patrick's hands to protect the player. But then when Mahomes came back he was cheerleading him.

So you think I'm lying? Do I need to post more screenshots?

Not lying, but probably misinterpreting the validity of the sample size of rando twitter commenters. You can post more if you want. Had not heard even a whiff of this until this thread.

Me either. But, to each their own.

If Mahomes can play without causing long term damage, he has all off season to get the ankle right. The opposite is true? Set his ass on the bench. We will get more shots at a SB, we don't need to burn Mahomes this year.

**Bearcat** · 01-23-2023, 08:47 AM

Nah... it's very Casual Fan to think just because Henne did it once, he'd just keep finishing drives and scoring touchdowns, but unless they thought there was a significant risk of making the ankle worse and they just ignored it and let him play anyway.... meh.

Lose next week and I doubt we're thinking "what if he had sat the entire 2nd half?!?"

KCUnited · 01-23-2023, 08:51 AM

Seems like KC took the proper steps necessary to assess and weigh the risks of Mahomes coming back in.

They reigned him in, had it looked at, gathered the input from their medical staff and made a decision.

Unless I've not seen an disagreeing opinion from a medical professional involved, it appears to have been the right call.
