Now watch, he'll get surgery after the year so the Chiefs can't cut him.

That’s exactly how he should play the situation.

He's a bitch, I've had enough.

No more defending this dude.

:(

The organization is the bitch, and Berry is ****ing her raw.

Wow. If Berry doesn't play count me in on the Berry hating band wagon. **** this lol, what are you here for anymore? To just play one game - the hypothetical SuperBowl? No **** this. If you can't get on the field even for the playoffs then you don't deserve to be their for a potential AFCCG/SB.

How does your "community" say "Eric Berry is a mother****ing pussy bitch?"

So Berry can't go for the playoffs, smmfh

That's the last straw, I want his ass gone ASAP

The whole “they’re saving him for x” game was always just hope anyway.

There’s are only 16 games in a season. If he eeew able to play, they’d have had him out there

He should probably just have surgery next week. I know he probably wants to see if he can play in the AFCCG/Super Bowl. Even if he could go, he's going to be rusty as hell and honestly I would rather have Murray in there at this point as crazy as that sounds.

I hope he enjoys his money because this whole situation has done nothing but sour my opinion of him.

The most probable explanation isn't that he's lazy or a pansy, it's that the injury was mishandled and he should have just had the surgery. Houston's knee injuries were mishandled in exactly the same way.

The same way many COWARDS say it online.

It's also possible he is prolonging that as much as possible, had he had his other achillies unattached the same offseason as the other he might be done for good.

This way he prolongs this and probably gets another year or 2 of pay. They can't make him get surgery.

Think about having a coworker that hangs around the office every once in a while, but hasn’t done but 10 minutes of work the last 2 years while consuming a large amount of resources that could be used to increase productivity.

The worst part is other people saying “just wait until he comes back, things will really improve!” all while you and your coworkers have fought and clawed their way to the being the best company in the region.

This situation is straight-up ****ed. Period.

Sounds like Sammy isn’t anywhere close to 100%. I would just have him in there for critical plays like 3rd/4th down and Red Zone plays. Let him rest on all other plays.

Personally I think this is how today should have gone...

Veach to Berry...are you a go today?

Berry..I don't think so still bothering me.

Veach, alright man if you can't suit up for the most important playoff run in this teams history I think you should go pack up your locker cause we're done with you as an organization.

Lucas time
We need to wish Berry well and put him on IR for the rest of his contract

Yep. I find it hard to believe the rest of the team is ok with this.

If it's only a pain issue, can't they just give him something for the pain? Guys have played in this league with broken bones.

Justin Houston tried to go in the playoffs on 1 leg...

Yea but you can't make him do anything of those things, he can say nope just gonna sit.

Houston was told by dr Andrews he was able to play. The chiefs wanted him to have surgery once the season was over and it was determined there was a problem

I’m not sure how the chiefs can force these guys to have surgery

IF we got to the Super Bowl does Berry play? Being back home in front of his home crowd, family and such in Georgia! I’m guessing Injections don’t work for his condition.

Most folks figured "Well, they are saving him for the playoffs" and I get that. Unfortunately, it isn't the case.

I said back in late September (or maybe October) that I would highly doubt that Berry ever saw the field again - and I was wrong. He DID make a couple of appearances but didn't do much other than yell at teammates (with good cause).

As much as I hate to say it - Berry is done.

It really makes you philosophical about what is excusable as a reason not to produce in a league predicated on production.

There is an almost infinite line of folks who likely wanted to be an NFL champion just as much or more than Eric, but they were too short, or too slow, or not talented enough.

I hated Cassel every minute he was here, but I never doubted his sincerity or effort. Is a talent deficit LESS worthy of compassion than a health deficit?

When it becomes clear that you are never going to rebound to complete fulfilment of promise, what does the organization or the fans owe you.

When your best isn't good enough, does it really matter why?

KC will be fortunate if Watkins can play and be anything more than a decoy for the first series. I don't think he's had a full practice in 6 weeks.

It also doesn't help that the organization looks bad cutting him so early into a huge contract. So that also keeps him here, teams don't like to look incompetent.

Exactly. Be proactive. Wish him the best and tell him that after he cleans out his locker, any personal items left behind, will be dropped off at the bridge he's been living under.

Honestly, the Chiefs should have been proactive and put him on IR months ago. At least this would have been resolved for this season and would not have been a distraction. Just my opinion...

Berry is going to have to surgery if he wants to remain a Chief...so It's interesting that he refuses to just numb the pain. If it were to rupture, wouldn't the result be the same? He would still get surgery and be paid next year...

Unless he plans on retiring, it doesn't make sense...

Oh. I agree. And if so, his signing has been a total fail for this season. This game today is a huge part of why he was signed.

If you're implying I'm a ****ing coward you have another ****ing thought coming you racist pile of shit. Eric Berry is a ****ing pussy. Some of us mother****ers have played ball a wee bit past ****ing high school.

Exactly. Its not gonna get better without surgery, and even then its not 100% it will completely resolve the issue. But it does represent the best option for him to continue playing.

Yep. There's a reason this saga has played out the way it has. It has nothing to do with Berry wanting to be a "Playoff Savior." Though that was always acceptable for everyone, and make no mistake that EB knew this. We're here now, and EB is not, so its time for the Chiefs to move on without him in every way. Absorb any hit and move on. Do not ket this guy do this to you again bext season.

If he thinks that surgery will make him worse...and he thinks the one he already had hurt him...

Why would he not do all he can to prolong this and continue to collect his massive check? I doubt he wants to quickly get surgery speed up this process and end up playing for the 49ers for peanuts compared to what he makes now.

This is what I’m thinking as well. Him and Benjamin taking a few DBs away from Tyreek and Travis. Don’t bother throwing it to him unless he is completely open with a stroll into the End zone

If he doesn't play today they should put Berry on IR like should have happened earlier. If he can't play today I don't want to see the poor guy get hurt in the Super Bowl....better save him for the offseason.

I don't think he should just being a pussy at all...I just think his body is done.

I don't know what's worse, the fact that Berry is still sitting out, or the fact that when they did his contract they didn't put in some language about his health deteriorating and being a way out of the agreement if this kind of shit happened. Or any contract that for that matter, if a player doesn't play for the essential entirety of two seasons, the team should be able to recoup some of that.

A 90% Watkins opens this offense up a lot. Ore and I'm grilled he can play today.

They should be able to when they're paying them ridiculous money.

We can now officially list Berry as "Season to Season"

Remember that time that Bobby BerryCher came in at halftime and won the game??

I hope Watkins isn’t a repeat of Maclin vs the Patriots

They're represented by a union. Good luck with that.

Spend more money on the safety position.

I don't really care about Berry's contract. He can't be trusted. This is the position we're in, and we need competent safety play if we want to take full advantage of the cheap years of Mahomes.

This franchise from 2002-2009 once spent three top 10 draft picks, 3 second rounders, and 3 third rounders on the DT position. No, not DL... specifically DT.

How many "solutions" did they end up finding? Some guys stuck around longer than others, but basically zero.

Nobody likes to overspend on one position, but it's gotta happen. If the Chiefs give a shit at all, they need HUGE upgrades from Ron Parker and Eric Murray, and they shouldn't factor Berry into their plans at starting safety even if he sticks around and gets the surgery. So going into next year, if they stood pat, we'd be left with Armani Watts, Jordan Lucas, and a bag of dicks.

Go spend the ****ing money on Earl Thomas. Or somebody. Use your resources and try to fix the problem once and for all.

And for God's sake fire Bob Sutton

They're going to have to draft one if they want somebody that's upper echelon. It's the Chiefs. They're not going to give a fat contract to Earl Thomas with Berry still on the books. After the whole Thomas thing went down, all reports were that the Chiefs viewed him as a 1-year rental.

They only need a competent safety if they fire Bob Sutton. His scheme requires too much for Berry's position - Berry is exceptional and can handle it. I don't think you need to spend a ton on safety...unless you keep Bob Sutton. If you keep Sutton, you'll need to get an elite presence at the position from the draft or from FA. Save Money and expand your options in the draft...get rid of Bob.

We knew since Wed. he probably wasn't going to play. Where are these people coming from who are shocked about it NOW?

Hence the "should".

Oh go cry elsewhere you phony "tough guy"...calling Berry a "p#ssy" online must make you feel so damn brave huh? YOU'RE A COWARD, plain and simple :) .

Oh, and go look up the word "racist" in the dictionary, as you clearly don't have a damn clue what it actually means.

It's just the same old crybabies who have been crying and throwing their toys out of their prams since Berry first got injured. Any excuse they have they moan and moan and pretend as if THEY are paying his wages and they are doctors so they know what heel pain feels like on a football field. It's utterly pathetic :rolleyes: .

All the "just pay the man, it's not our money" people have to understand that most of our safety money is tied up in Eric Berry for a couple of years. This is what happens when you "just pay the man". We are going to have to draft guys to play safety. Ron Parker is hitting our cap TWICE right now, 2 million from one contract and $630k from his new contract. :shake:

Safety cap numbers:
Berry - 13 million
Sorenson - 5.2m
Parker - 2m + 630k
Murray - 700k
Lucas - 630k
Watts - 555k
Durham - 363k

The safety position is a complete mess.

Parker's $2 million from his old contract expires this season. It won't be a problem next year.

This, we either just live with Beery and his money or live without Berry and his money!

Either way it is a lose/lose situation that some of the crybaby's here can not see! The fans have to realize it's not their money, the Chiefs are going to do do what is the best interest for them.

It’s not about crybaby, it’s about filling our roster with football players not cheerleaders with questionable spirit.

Yea, the numbers I listed are for this year.

That's what happens when the Haglund is willing, but the spirit is not.

HS

LMAO

But it's not like his leg is getting cut off. The man will no doubt get the surgery and will hopefully come back healthy next season. How would the crybabies react if we cut Eric and then he joins the Patriots and balls out next season? People would be losing their damn minds ROFL .

If he does, will you follow him to his new team?

You're worse than Alice's ballwashers.

ROFL

I don’t know if I can say this clear enough, **** Eric Berry

That hurt his spirit.

Only if you stick your face in a big pile of cow dung, deal? :)

Not sure if this was posted anywhere.

LOL at folks thinking online insults from a complete nobody online actually matters to Berry ROFL

But don't mind me though, the :deevee: is actually very funny to watch.

Next week hobo says, “I could of played last week, but I wasn’t feeling it in my spirit.”

Police to hobo, “Saw you getting anal violated, but we didn’t feel it in our spirit to intervene.”

Spirit 29

I haven't been real hard on EB, at least compared to many others. But if he doesn't play today - I'm done with him and the Chiefs should be too. I thought perhaps he was doing this for the team - saving himself for the playoffs because he knew how valuable he was for our success. I guess not.

Watkins is more important to the offense than Berry is to the defense anyhow. Berry was ineffective in his 2 games.

How’s that 3:00 National Anthem work out?

A lot drunker than the 12pm variant.

Is Reggie Haglund playing?

This place is very kind to BDB, compared to comments in Twitter or any place else BDB is mentioned.

How was he ineffective? Our defense played the absolute best when EB has played this year....

If Berry can give us flashes of his first half performance against the Chargers, that's a big boost.

Definitely in spirit.

Spirit check.

Not against Seattle. He made little difference. Does this answer your question?

It would have to be next week, but I'd rather he wait until the 2nd half to play this time...
