Is there any reason we need to win another game?

[Red Dawg]

The two isn't happening since Allen shit himself at NE. Total long shot wenwin and win next week and NE loses to Miami. Are those good odds?

Rest up is better in my book.

[comochiefsfan]

Rust is a real thing.

It would be suicide to not have this team play a game for 21 days. That would be absurd.

[BWillie]

Rust is a real thing.

False.

More rest ia better. Teams and players dont forget to play football. Anytime you get an opportunity to rest your guys you should do it

[Red Dawg]

More suicide for Mahomes or any other star to go down right before the playoffs chasing a seed that is only remotely possible to get.

[comochiefsfan]

False.

More rest ia better. Teams and players dont forget to play football. Anytime you get an opportunity to rest your guys you should do it

I could entertain sitting them for the Chargers. Get a bye before the playoffs. I just don’t want them sitting two weeks in a row.

[Red Dawg]

I'm sure the Bears will just lay down and play 2 handed touch and let us win. Andy should rest our players.

[Jerok]

The Dolphins could beat the Pats because the Pats are going to rest their starters?

IDK really.

[comochiefsfan]

If we rest our players and lose to the Bears, the odds that the Dolphins will upset the Patriots increases to around 100%.

[Pablo]

Nothing quite like a two game losing streak running into the playoffs to inspire confidence!!

You've really thought this through.

[big nasty kcnut]

No we keep our momentum going by playing each game hard and winning them.

[Red Dawg]

No we keep our momentum going by playing each game hard and winning them.

Football is week to week. Momentum is bullshit. We need our guys healthy more than anything.

[displacedinMN]

we don't want to lose to the chargers-again.

[Deberg_1990]

Keep the pedal to the metal

[TribalElder]

lets just win the rest of the games, I would like to attend a parade in KC

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

Yea let’s rest our starters and watch us lose the game and we get the 4 seed instead and we have to go to Baltimore instead of NE

[Coogs]

The #3 spot has a far better chance of hosting the AFCCG than the #4 spot. Play to win.

[Chris Meck]

yeah,because it's a HABIT.

Winning gets to be a HABIT.

So does losing. Fuck losing.

[RINGLEADER]

Probably not except to avoid the rust and the bad taste of losing. Then again the Ravens are laying two divisional games and the Pats are a .500 team against the Dolphins.

You never know until you know.

But if someone really needs rest to be 100% in the playoffs then sure, let them rest.

[NJChiefsFan]

Is it possible to merge this with the week 17 and bye thread? I feel like it's the same discussion in two different threads.

[Pablo]

The two isn't happening since Allen shit himself at NE. Total long shot wenwin and win next week and NE loses to Miami. Are those good odds?

Rest up is better in my book.

NYou're five letters short here per standard tuckdaddy protocol.

[BWillie]

Dolphins wont beat em

[DaFace]

If someone is nursing an injury, I'm OK with them being more conservative with them. And if, at half time, the Pats are blowing out the Dolphins, I'm OK with sitting him for the second half.

But nah, you don't just sit all the guys now. Two weeks is a ton of time to sit without taking some contact when you're about to go into the toughest games of the season.

[Bugeater]

Would you let the General's latrine go 3 weeks without cleaning it?

Hell no. That would be a really bad idea.

And so is this.

[PattyFlakes]

The Chiefs are playing their best football of the season right now. Why would you kill that momentum instead of carrying it into the playoffs? Not to mention I'd much rather play the Pats in the 2nd round as opposed to the Ravens, so keeping that 3 seed is a good idea.

[TEX]

Is it possible to merge this with the week 17 and bye thread? I feel like it's the same discussion in two different threads.

Don't be "THAT" guy...

[TEX]

Football is week to week. Momentum is bullshit. We need our guys healthy more than anything.

I think so too. The Bills and Bucs both had momentum. Didnt help. :hmmm:

[Zebedee DuBois]

We should never practice losing.

[Red Dawg]

Ok, whatever
One bad hit to Hill, Kelce or Mahomes and it's over. Not to mention Honey Badger, Jones or Thornhill. But hey, let's chase that seed we can't get.

[NJChiefsFan]

Don't be "THAT" guy...

I'm not trying to be but in this case it's tough going back and forth when it's the same discussion.

[tk13]

On the flip side this team has won 4 in a row and is humming. If we can keep moving forward we are going to be a team going into the playoffs hot.

[PattyFlakes]

Ok, whatever
One bad hit to Hill, Kelce or Mahomes and it's over. Not to mention Honey Badger, Jones or Thornhill. But hey, let's chase that seed we can't get.


So you'd rather go to Baltimore in the 2nd round instead of New England? Putting off playing the Ravens as long as possible is a good thing. IMO hosting PIT and then playing at NE would be preferable to hosting BUF and then going to Baltimore.

[ThyKingdomCome15]

Play to win. I wanna sweep the Patriots in Foxboro, Bradys last game.

[BossChief]

Everyone plays till we get a comfortable lead, then pull the guys we will depend on to win playoff games. Let the depth guys get more experience against starters.

[KChiefs1]

Kick the Bears ass tomorrow.

Next week start Shurmur at QB just like Mahomes did vs the Donks in 2017. Rest all the starters that you can & get ready for the next weekend.

Thompson should get 25 carries vs the Chargers.

[jerryaldini]

Reid didn't even pull Mahomes last week. There's no way this is even being considered by him or the players. They will go to NE riding a 7 game winning streak and make the Pats fans boo hoo again.

[sparky454]

Ask the starters if they want to sit out. I'm sure they'll give you an answer of "Hell no".

[TribalElder]

We need to win vs the bears to force the pats to have to play their starters

[KChiefs1]

Which scenario do you like?

3. Chiefs vs 6. Titans
3. Chiefs vs 2. Patriots

Or

4. Chiefs vs 5. Bills
4. Chiefs vs 1. Ravens

[LiveSteam]

[njchiefs]

This is a good f#@*ing question, and I really don’t have a good answer.

[chiefzilla1501]

Jesus, there's not much of a difference between Baltimore and New England. We're treating them like Ivan drago. I don't think we need to rest much. But the idea that we're desperate to win because we're worried about whether we play Baltimore or New England first or second is absurd.

[The Franchise]

Some people are fucking stupid.

[Eleazar]

This is the kind of thing that retards somehow manage to argue about on the internet, but in the real world everyone knows that it's better to win.

[Rasputin]

Why do we even play the game?



HELLO



YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME

[TimeForWasp]

I think we should play for the win against the Bears.
then play Moore next week along with,
loaning Mahomes to Miami for the week.

[comochiefsfan]

Baltimore is way better than New England.

[BossChief]

Baltimore is overrated.

The Chiefs are winning it all this year and won’t lose again till next November.

[Rasputin]

I'd make this a statement game going into Chicago and show the league on nation tv SNF that Chiefs are who we say we are.


We get the game in hand then second half treat it like a third preseason game and give guys experience that need it.

[scho63]

If we beat the Bears I think that locks us in at #3 and that would mean we could rest against the Chargers.

#3 is much better than #4

Can't go into safe mode yet

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

Wrong. Texans own the tiebreaker against us. Can’t rest the starters at all

[TripleThreat]

Football is week to week. Momentum is bullshit. We need our guys healthy more than anything.

Momentum is not bull shit in any way.

Ask the New York giants who beat the undefeated patriots how momentum worked for them.

I get what you are getting at, but momentum is a real thing in the playoffs. You know it, I know it, we all know it, so to act like it doesn’t exist going into the playoffs is bullshit.

Absolutely this and winning builds confidence we need a swag


It gets the team on the right track . Winners win, losers lose.

[Danguardace]

Ravens have 2 tough games within the division, it more likely they lose both than Miami winning in Foxboro, either way you play until the end.

[scho63]

[TRR]

The Browns, and the Steelers at home? Your definition of “tough games” seems a bit different than mine.

But nah, you don't just sit all the guys now. Two weeks is a ton of time to sit without taking some contact when you're about to go into the toughest games of the season.

Agreed. I would definitely pull the starters if the Pats are up big against the Fins

[Coogs]

I will give you my house is the Dolphins beat em

That's really nice of you!

I didn't say anything about the #2 seed though. #3 just has a better chance to host the AFCCG than #4 does.

Go Dolphins! ;)

[Chris Meck]

It's like this-

You get your team rolling, playing well.

You KEEP THE BALL ROLLING. You don't sit your starters and coast, because they lose their edge. You see it all the time when teams clinch and don't play their guys in the last game and then shit the bed in the play-off game.

When you got a good thing going, you keep it going.

I could see sitting Pat in like the second half; and maybe limiting some snaps so the young guys and back-ups also get in the flow and stay sharp, but you don't just give guys the week off.

[BigRedChief]

The Browns, and the Steelers at home? Your definition of “tough games” seems a bit different than mine.Tough games? ROFL Ravens are going to be the #1 seed. They are not going to have two trap games in a row knowing the #1 seed is on the line.

Agreed. I would definitely pull the starters if the Pats are up big against the FinsSame thing. No way the Pats are going to let down or have a trap game with a bye week on the line.


They are going to obliterate those teams. Just as we did to the Raiders to secure HFA.


Blowing that last 1:30 of the Titans game caused us to play 3 game instead of 2 games to get the Super Bowl. A home game of those only 2 games to get to the Super Bowl. It made our odds this year long. I hope they and Andy learned that costly lesson.

Not sure about this. The long gap of time between the last games
Of the year and the bowl games for college teams has plenty of teams looking like complete shit. Too much time off is not a great thing.

Remember the Titans! :banghead:

I think we see them again in round 1.

[KChiefs1]

Weird scheduling quirk today... turns out the Titans vs Saints game means basically nothing for Tennessee. It does not alter any playoff scenario.

Steelers win next 2 games: Steelers get 6th seed.
Steelers win 1 of next 2, TN beats NO & loses to Texans: Steelers get 6th seed.
Steelers win 1 of next 2, TN beats Texans: Titans get 6th seed.
Steelers loses next 2 games: Titans get 6th seed.

[crayzkirk]

I could see getting some of the players some rest however how many non-starters does this team really have? Offensive/defensive lines aren't all that deep so what is the plan there? Hill and Kelce are valuable so you limit the situations where they can take a big hit (this, IMO, should be a full season plan and Pat is has been good about not hanging guys out to get clobbered).

A rolling stone gathers no moss. Let the snowball keep rolling downhill and picking up snow, growing bigger and bigger. Playing not to get hurt is when injuries happen.

[Bob Dole]

We lost 3 other games too.

We could have won any of them.

[DTHOF]

Even though everyone is bruised and could use some rest I say let them play it out. I think the late bye week also will have a positive affect in the playoffs since they are 99% chance of having to play three to get to super bowl.

Saw a graphic in one of the games yesterday. The three seed has only won one Super Bowl.

[TEX]

We lost 3 other games too.

We could have won any of them.

Sure. But the probability of winning the Titans game with 1:30 to go was much higher than in any of the other games. If memory serves it was something around 97%. Therefore that game could be viewed, more than the others, as the one that got away.

IMO, the Chiefs will get to see them again in round 1. Last season we exorcised the demons of past Colts losses. This season we will get the chance to do the same thing with the Titans.

[Danguardace]

The Browns, and the Steelers at home? Your definition of “tough games” seems a bit different than mine.

Steelers took them to over time and Browns whopped them in earlier games iirc.

[Coochie liquor]

Remember the Titans! :banghead:

I think we see them again in round 1.

No way, they’ve got NO this week and no Henry. They’re not winning that. And I don’t think they’re getting in with another loss. The way it stands my preferred path is

1) Annihilate the Stoolers at Arrowhead
2) Beat the Pats in the passing of the torch at Fixboro
3) Show up in Baltimore with more swagger than Mick Jagger and hand them an L

4) Beat the Packers in the Super Bowl

The motherfucking road to redemption tour is hitting town in January. Mahomes is gonna show us why the past is just the past, and he is the future!

[Coochie liquor]

Steelers took them to over time and Browns whopped them in earlier games iirc.

Yeah I think people forget how hard division games are because we’ve been spoiled the last 5 years.

[UChieffyBugger]

How many of the starters have actually played the full season? Mahomes, Fisher, Clark, Jones, LDT, Breeland, Pennell, Saunders, Wylie, Watkins, Tyreek, Fuller, Claiborne, Fenton, Mccoy, Thompson, Ragland, Williams, Ware etc etc have all not played In all fourteen games due to different reasons. So In reality our roster is probably the freshest In the whole league tbh so I don't see any reason why they should miss the next two games.

[TRR]

Steelers took them to over time and Browns whopped them in earlier games iirc.

One can hope. Browns and Ravens are completely different teams this time around.

3. Chiefs vs 6. Titans
3. Chiefs vs 2. Patriots

Or

4. Chiefs vs 5. Bills

While scenario 1 looks more appealing, #2 might be better based off Reid’s history against the Titans. We would still be in the running for the #1 seed had it not been for that Titans game earlier this year.

[Spott]

I’d actually be ok with treating these last two games like preseason games. Maybe play their starter a quarter or so tonight and resting everyone next week.

[Lprechaun]

IF Suggs come thru and has a few impact plays that loss means we got him. We shall see if it was worth it or not. Turns out so far we needed him due to injuries.

Time to end River's career giving him another big loss at Arrowhead.

Finish the year strong.

[suzzer99]

#3 seed also has a higher chance of hosting the AFCCG if we get there. Gotta go for #3.

And if we have to go to BAL - I'd rather go after the Texans or Bills have worked them a little - vs. two weeks to rest and prepare for us.

[milkshock]

Have to play the starters given the fact that we can still get a bye
