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

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.

Hard to say, but I would have liked to have seen them keep pounding the ball with Pacheco in the second half when Mahomes was back in for the 2nd half. It didn’t seem like the Jags defense had an answer for him.

How is this even a thing?!

Well, those people are nuts. I think that's a lot of hindsight with the D holding up the rest of the game

Everyone in that stadium was nervous letting Mahomes come back in, clearly going against the wishes of the medical staff and coaches. There's a point where being a warrior and competitor goes against you, and your hubris and pride takes a fall. Luckily that didn't happen with Mahomes and he can have a good rest this week before Sunday night.

Lmfao “prepare for the chad”?! Yep that’s it, they needed prep time to game plan for a wobble launcher that’s been rusting away for years on the sidelines. That’s it.

I think they did their due diligence, they did the XR to make sure nothing was broken, and they knew what the injury was. These sorts of sprains are treated symptomatically so it's a matter of pain management.

I think you do send him back into the game to see if he can execute the offense to a better standard than Henne could. In a playoff game the risk of further injury is going to be there but if you lose anyway, it doesn't really matter.

I can see both sides of it, but I don't think Henne wins the game. No way to know - they call the game differently if Henne is QB, things could have played out differently in either direction.

Henne only accounted for like 20 of those 98 yards, lets not forget how lack luster he was in his last playoff appearance. It was just a matter of time before the jags got to him.

Yeah, yeah I know. I made the mistake of following some Chiefs pages while I was taking a break from CP. I've seen so many stupid takes now that I can't look away. It's like rubbernecking.

Sometimes I read "I keep seeing on Twitter Chiefs fans......" and am confused because I've been on Twitter for days and haven't seen a single person say whatever that sentence ends with. What I think you meant to say was, "I saw someone say they were pissed...."

I've seen no one expressing frustration over playing Mahomes in the 2nd half.

BTW, Jags fans LOVED seeing the guy they used to call Checkdown Chad engineer a critical TD drive against them in the playoffs. That added some additional pain/irony to the whole thing.

But they've no reason to hang their heads, Jax is on the way up and will be around for a while having the HC and the QB needed to build a consistent winner.

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.

I’m not educated enough about high-ankle sprains to make that determination. Reid and the Chiefs medical staff are so I trust their judgement.
