Houston not expected to play on Sunday

[grimes82]

Per Rotoworld

Wow I thought they were holding him out of practice more for precaution. This will hurt

[Bwana]

:shake:

[kcchiefsus]

Apparently ACL injuries for the Chiefs have turned into career enders.

[GloucesterChief]

Its too bad that after the big contract Houston has turned into the walking wounded. Perhaps we can renegotiate this off season.

[Reerun_KC]

Must redo his contract. What a waste of cash.

[grimes82]

I really try and stay positive about the Chiefs. Sometimes I wish I was not so passionate about them. I can only pray this season stays fun for us. I just wish we could go out and stay aggressive for an entire game like we did in Atlanta.

[Priest31kc]

We have either had no Houston or a significantly less than 100% Houston for all our playoff runs under Reid (13, 15 & now 16)...Typical Chiefs luck

[Snica]

Love our team doctors.

[RunKC]

I'm sticking with Dane's theory. Lot of players taking longer to heal now that HGH has been cut out

[splatbass]

Love our team doctors.

And the trainers. We seem to have a lot more ACL injuries than any other team.

[Coochie liquor]

Did he drink the wine Von sent him?

[Rasputin]

Well this fucking sucks.

[Dunerdr]

Chiefiest news of the week

[chiefzilla1501]

What happened with the chip Kelly like experiment where they tested out advanced tech for conditioning. They still doing it? If they are it isn't working

[BryanBusby]

Damn those trainers not stretching out those ACLs well enough

[MMXcalibur]

I won't think of Houston as anything but damaged goods going forward.
Fucking Ron Parker.

[Dinny Bossa Nova]

He has missed a game or two before, hasn't he?

Have we won any games when he didn't play?

Dinny

[splatbass]

I won't think of Houston as anything but damaged goods going forward.
****ing Ron Parker.

He proved he still has it in the Broncos game. When his knee heals completely he will be the old Houston.

[Kman34]

I'm afraid that won't be till next season...

[KranzDictum]

Apparently ACL injuries for the Chiefs have turned into career enders.

I think what hurt Houston is that it wasn't something normal like a tear or strain, the ligament got stretched and stopped working. Maybe the swelling goes away in a couple weeks and he can return 100% next year. It is sad to see great players have their careers cut short.

[notorious]

If I was Houston I would "attempt" to play next year to get my money, say fuck it after that and retire.

[Quesadilla Joe]

He proved he still has it in the Broncos game. When his knee heals completely he will be the old Houston.

I wouldn't put much stock into what he did against Ty Sambraillo. Houston was shut down by Donald Stephenson after Sambraillo got benched.

He will play

[TEX]

Well this ****ing sucks.

The Chiefs havent had Houston when it mattered most 3 out of the last 4 seasons so this is just par for the course...:shrug:

Because Chiefs

[RunKC]

Houston had 3 pressures, 1 QB hit and 2 run stops on Stephenson in the 2nd half while being held several times.

He dominated Stephenson

Must redo his contract. What a waste of cash.

This should definitely be explored.

Yes but we at least had Derrick Johnson to lead our defense in tackles & general on the field. He gone and that is a big void to fill with who Zombo?

Eric Berry can't play LB and Free Safety too can he?


I mean the bigger loss is not having DJ but also losing Houston just when he comes back basically makes this defense soft tissue paper.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

We're resting Houston for the playoffs. This game doesn't keep us from the playoffs and Denver is easy to beat anyway .

[Rasputin]

And this is when Alex Smith needs to pretend he is a good quarterback and step up his game. Maybe actually throw the our team in the red zone for some touchdowns.

Oh, I agree completely. I was just referring to the fact that Justin Houston has not been available the past few seasons when the Chiefs have needed him the most. Kinda like ,"What's new here?" In no way did I mean to suggest that the Chiefs will be ok. We should just be used to losing Houston at crunch time.

[New World Order]

It's okay, we have a dynamic offense.

Lead us Alex, lead us!

[Red Dawg]

Easy to beat? Every well I read shit that like that on this board and when is tha ever true. We have shit QB, a shit running game and a shitty run defense. No game is easy.

[FloridaMan88]

An ACL injury, especially if it is not a major ACL injury should not be a year plus injury in today's world of sports medicine.

Part of being a professional football player getting paid $120 million is being available to play and Justin Houston has failed in that regard.

[chiefzilla1501]

Damn those trainers not stretching out those ACLs well enough

I don't know what the issue is. But given that Houston, Charles, and dj have had the same kind of injuries on legs we knew were suspect, I have significant concerns about our training staff knowing when to put players back on the field or better yet, when to take them off.

So you are saying he is causing his knee to be swollen on purpose? This has to be one of the dumbest things ever posted here.

If Houston was effectively rehabbing and doing everything required to rehab an ACL injury, he wouldn't be having the complications that he's having.

[suzzer99]

We are the most snake-bit team. That's why a first-round bye is so huge for us. We can count on 1-3 key players going down per playoff game. Every. Single. time.

[splatbass]

Bullshit. Houston has a history of working very hard at rehab. And he showed how much he wants to play at Denver.

[TEX]

I get the sarcasm, but there is a slight chance the Chiefs don't even make the playoffs...So, IMO, any playing time that Houston missies is huge.

[splatbass]

You have to give credit to Sutton. He has lost all of his best players at some point this season and has never had a completely healthy defense all year, and we are still 10-4. He can't work miracles though.

[splatbass]

I get the sarcasm, but there is a slight chance the Chiefs don't even make the playoffs...So, IMO, any playing time that Houston missies is huge.

NYT simulator has us at 98% chance to make the playoffs. I've tried a lot of different scenarios on that site and haven't found the combination yet that knocks us out, so the chance is REALLY slight. But we do still have a shot at the 2nd seed if we win out and the Raiders lose one so Houston is a big loss for that reason.

[Mr. Laz]

And this is when Alex Smith needs to pretend he is a good quarterback and step up his game. Maybe actually throw the our team in the red zone for some touchdowns.

EVERY.FUCKING.THREAD

[Mr. Laz]

I wonder if Houston will be willing to extend his contract a year since he basically missed that much lately.

Extend it without a bump in pay


sort of a little pay cut



I doubt it

[RunKC]

Houston can play but they are being super cautious against a team with horrific OT's.

Would you rather play him on a rainy night and risk him getting hurt? Then it's really on the staff. It's understandable to see why they are being cautious.

[suzzer99]

Houston obviously wasn't 100% against the Titans. I'd rather have Ford and Hali at 100% than Houston at 75% or whatever he was last week.

He wasn't running right and didn't have much push

Out for the Broncos?!?! Really? Really? </br></br> The Chiefs should be able to dock this guy a HUGE chunk of his $100 million dollar contract at this point. Kind of like what happens to the rest of the world when they constantly don't show up for work.

Denver's offense sucks anyway. This is a game the offense needs to win.

He's missed 16 out of the last 32 games(if he does miss the next one)


A 1-year extension with no pay increase would 'reduce' his existing 100 million dollar total contract value by around 8 million dollars. Not a huge cut but it would be something.

Next year Houston's base salary jump to 16 million and pretty much stays in that area for the rest of his contract. (16m,14m,15m,17m)

I'm with you here. It's not like he asked to be hurt and I'd wager it hurts him more to miss a game against the Broncos at home on a Sunday Night Game.

I still love Houston he is one hell of a football player when healthy. We just cant get him healthy enough to play. It sucks but I believe he would be out there if he could be.

Maybe the team is holding him out for precaution reasons I'm ok with that too because that wouldn't be up to Houston.

The best Chiefs players ever are not bench warmers. Consistency is a huge factor in being "one of the best Chiefs players" ever and consistency in being on the sidelines while pulling a huge chunk of money that prevents the team from signing other player isn't "one of the best Chiefs players ever".

It's a liability.

He was also sick with an illness late in the week. Hard to know which one it was. Maybe both?

He's not a benchwarmer, he is injured. not the same thing at all.

[Sandy Vagina]

I think we'd all just be content to KNOW that Houston will be good to go for the postseason. Knowing that much, I could better shrug off his absence these next two weeks.

[chiefzilla1501]

This. At this point, shelve him and get him 100%. I can't help but think that's what the Chiefs are doing since they've proven they can do without him.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Why do people, in multiple threads, keep talking about changing this man's signed, done deal contract?

Do some of you not understand what a signed contract is?

If provisions were not made when structuring the initial deal, I doubt Houston's agent will be in a rush to sit down and help the Chiefs reduce his salary.

Dorsey gots some major work coming up in the off season. Lots of old high priced players that need restructured a d some that need to be released.

and people wonder why NFL contract aren't guaranteed like in the MLB

can you imagine 104 million for 1 full season of Houston if he really is done?

A franchise in KC couldn't afford to sign a contract that big with the chance of it being gone after a single play.

Entire contract situation was have to change, long term contracts would almost cease to exist if they were completely guaranteed

[stevieray]

Yep. Turn the page. Ford is the guy from here on out this year. Houston is just a bonus if ever able to contribute.

Yet Ford disappeared when JH came back...

[Mr. Laz]

So does anyone think it was really a nerve issue like we heard rumors about after it happened? The Chiefs have just kept it covered up?

Nerve issues almost never fully recover, there is always weakness left in area

[stevieray]

Playoffs?

Our two biggest players....and...nothing.

[Mr. Laz]

Yet Ford disappeared when JH came back...
He flipped to the other side

Takes a bit to adjust to a position switch

Imo Ford's natural position is the ROLB(Hali's)

Just draft another ROLB and let Dadi and draftee compete IF Houston really is done ... IF ...

[Reerun_KC]

Playoffs?

Our two biggest players....and...nothing.

Houston was the right move at the time. JC meh not so much. I don't like to over value RBs in a QB league.

But they can cut ties with both. We will eat a little cap space. But we will be fine.

Could be. I had a hip replacement in May and the joint feels great, but the nerve was damaged and hurts like hell most of the time. When they do surgery on the knees or hip they move the sciatic nerve around and sometimes it gets smashed a little. It can recover, but it takes a long time. My surgeon told me not to expect less than a year.

What?

He ruined the Titans first drive forcing a holding call and then beat Lewan and forced Marriotta to step up in the pocket which resulted in the fumble turnover.

As soon as Ford beat Lewan they doubled him. They were max protecting the entire game which was why Marriotta wasn't doing anything until late.

Jesus there were 6 players blocking or front 4 guys giving us 7 defenders to defend their 3 receivers.

I get your point but we will need both of these guys fully on board to beat SD I'm afraid. Kelce is in the zone right now and Hill continues to produce and needs more snaps to continue to get better.

Houston and mACLin took Dorsey to the cleaners.

Dorsey and the Chiefs had every opportunity to sign Houston before he went on his wrecking spree last year, and they chose to gamble.

They lost.

There is not a team in the league that wouldn't have paid Houston his money, and hindsight isn't worth a rookie kickers contract.

As to Maclin, Dorsey acquired the receiver that Reid wanted, just like he acquired the QB that Reid wanted.

Please address all of your Maclin concerns to:

Dude just set the team WR record for receptions in 15 games last season with Alex Smith as his QB plus 8 TDs a year after none being thrown to WRs.

The whole offense was shit early on this year and then he missed 5 games and in his absence Reid wisely has chosen to run the offense through Kelce and Hill now, meaning much less targets for Maclin than a year ago.

And Alex Smith is still his QB in an offense that is designed to spread it around.

Don't get the Maclin hate.

Even if/when Houston is back need to keep Dee Ford lined up on the Right Tackle he excels on that side but no where near effective lined up against a left tackle. He would need another season to develop for that side if he is going replace Tamba Hali.


So if we are going keep seeing Ford make big plays he needs to line up LOLB. I think Houston can adjust easier than Ford wherever you put him.

I've notice this also. Dee Ford is more comfortable on the right side. Houston is good enough to play either side. I also noticed opposing teams like to run on our left like it's a weakness. Houston would help shore that up I believe.

[Reerun_KC]

Restructure time for Houston....

[Mr. Laz]

You just know that there is something still wrong with Houston's knee or it wouldn't still be swelling up. There is a small tear or some bone chips in there ... maybe some scar tissue in the wrong place.

He'll probably need another scope and miss the rest of the season.


fuck you Dr. Andrews ... fuck you

This isn't necessarily true. It could just be due to overuse. His knee was likely still healing when we put him back in the lineup. If, by chance, it wasn't it still hadn't been used to this effect in over 9 months.

Chiefs decision to delay surgery could derail 2 post-seasons.

I believe Dr Andrews game is slipping or he hates the Chiefs. Gaines, Charles and Houston still having issues.

[RunKC]

Houston has counted $18 million against the cap the last 2 years. That's nothing for his value.

Give him a full offseason and he'll be fine. It's dumb that people are reacting this way when Andy is being smart and resting the guy

Yeah, teams don't get compensatory picks due to players being injured. Houston isn't done playing and he isn't done playing at a high level. He's only 10 months removed from knee surgery you fucking mouth breather. Anyone who believes there is any chance Houston is done playing is fucking retarded.

[mdchiefsfan]

Nfl intentionally does that. Surprised the ne game isn't at 4.

I disagree. There is now way for the league to know that it would be KC vs OAK for the division. For example, if Denver or Oakland, were waiting for the decision between Chiefs and Chargers, there would be no issue.

It's unfortunate how it has played out, but to say the NFL scheduled these games as such, to keep teams playing hard football, is a bit of a reach.

If that were truly their intention, then we'd be playing this game at SD, rather than at home, to keep the games on the same time zone.

Best case scenario is that KC gets the bye and Houston is fully rested and ready to wreck shit in the divisional round of the playoffs.

Sounds awesome in theory but maybe a bit of game action before being thrust into a playoff game against Pittsburgh would be prudent?

[ThaVirus]

I mean, assuming we get the 2 seed and we rest JH this Sunday, he'd have been out of football for a month prior to our postseason start.

I don't think JH is the kind of guy who needs practice as much as others but I'm not sure that's ideal.

Nah, Houston needs all the rest so that swelling is totally gone by the time we play Pitt. Then he can totally ball and when he does and we win assuming it is in Arrowhead, then he takes a marathon ice bath afterwards.

[Buzz]

I would like to see Houston and Charles suited up in the post season and ready to go. That would give anyone we play some concern, wishful thinking at this point.

I'm not sure if I fully understand what you're saying, but they absolutely intentionally schedule games in week 17 to try and keep things competitive. Every game is a divisional game, and the two games in a division are almost all played at the same time. Further, they grant an exception to the home team blackout rules (for competing games) so that fans can watch both teams in a division duke it out.

They obviously can't plan it precisely, but having all of the games be divisional games and having those divisional games played at the same time certainly increases the odds of competitive games.

Reid never said Houston could have played.

Based on the last 2 games, I think we're a lot better with Ford and Hali vs. a not-100% Houston and Hali or Ford coming off his weaker side. If Houston sat for the Titans game things might have gone differently.

Houston suffered a strange knee injury and returned to the field only 9 months after it surgery. It's not surprising, in the least, that he's has issues with swelling after chasing QB's and running backs after such a short recovery period.

Complaining about Houston's recovery and contract is like complaining about Gronkowski's injuries and contract and even more so like JJ Watt's injuries and contract. All three were worthy of their contracts and are game changers when healthy.

The Native American Party, renamed the American Party in 1855 and commonly known as the Know Nothing movement, was an American political party that operated nationally in the mid-1850s.

The movement arose in response to an influx of migrants and promised to "purify" American politics by limiting or ending the influence of Irish Catholics and other immigrants, thus reflecting nativist and anti-Catholic sentiment. It was empowered by popular fears that the country was being overwhelmed by German and Irish Catholic immigrants, whom they saw as hostile to Republican values and as being controlled by the Pope. Mainly active from 1854 to 1856, the movement strove to curb immigration and naturalization but met with little success. Membership was limited to Protestant men. There were few prominent leaders, and the largely middle-class membership was divided over the issue of slavery.

Its most prominent leaders were U.S. Representative Nathaniel P. Banks[1] and former U.S. Representative Lewis C. Levin. The American Party nominated former President Millard Fillmore in the 1856 presidential election.[2]

They shouldn't play him this week regardless of his health status, although I wish they would be a little more informative about his playoff prospects...

No sense in putting him out there for a game where we should win without any problem.

I am perfectly fine with them holding him out, especially since we aren't sure if we have to play next week or if we have a bye. Give him and that knee all the rest they need before crunch time.

Besides, Dee Ford seems to pick his game up when he plays against the Chargers. Hopefully he will carry the pass rush this week.

The silver lining is the lack of wear and tear of this season.

My biggest hope is they are just playing it smart because of his value.

I stopped counting on Houston to be ready-if he is that is a huge bonus- but I would not bet on it. Ford looked awesome last game and will do great if Houston is out for the year. Either way we are beating the Chargers ass in the ground and going deep into the playoffs this year.

Only '+' to Houston being out is Ford seems to play better on the left side of the defense. But you're right, I mean if I had to bet on it I think he plays in the playoffs but it can't really be depended on...

I'd rather him be good in the long term than let this thing become what it was last year. So, they better get it right, whether he plays or not.

Just have to wait and hope that he can come back and, if so, doesn't need a game to knock the rust off. I don't have a great feeling but I'm not gonna worry about it till it happens.
