Its all speculation at this point but I would bet he goes back out there if we aren't up 2 TD's.

BTW I distinctly remember Mahomes telling a team mate "I'm fine" when they came over to talk to him on the sideline.

That ankle would have to be amputated before Mahomes sits out a game.

he's gonna play

We're resting him for Wentz

A mild high ankle sprain was a very good outcome for Pat. Means he will hopefully be fully functional in the playoffs. Also the previous ones he had in 2019 and 2022 were way worse and he never missed a game so I'm hopeful we'll see him against the Texans tbh.

Patrick Surtain suffered the same injury and he has a chance to play on Thursday

It is not for the lowly Browns to deny the King his field against the Texans.

Ankle sprain and high ankle sprain are not the same.

An ankle sprain is always worse the next day though.

Holthus:

"If Patrick Mahomes is cleared to play, he will play. Some would say even if he's cleared to play, sit him. No, if he's cleared to play, Pat will play."

"These games are way too important to try to get the bye. Get the bye. Capture the bye. Because if you get a bye you're gonna play one game in 24 days."

"This might be the best pass-rushing team in the league. The [Texans]...their pressures are near the top of the league. But if Pat can go, he'll go."

"I've never seen this coaching staff or this athletic training staff ever force a guy back from an injury. They have gone out of their way to show discretion. They will not hurry a guy back and risk further injury. So if Pat can't go, he won't go."

Yeah, he is playing.

He also said Wentz is very capable.

But that certainly leans "he'll play if he's cleared, and they would not rush him back."

Saw shit on FB saying he was out.

There is a lot of stupid shit on FB.

I see those things, then come here and nothing is mentioned. Like-refs suspended because of ----- BS.

That is all.

GO CHIEFS

Holthus said Reid was gonna say something about Mahomes tonight at 6 on the Kingdom Show.

The Facebook click bait sites are the worst like Fansided. They are the 493rd's of the internet world.

It is even worse now. On FB I constantly see Fake News about the Chiefs. Stupid obviously fake controversial stuff like HARBAUGH PETITIONS TO BAN CHIEFS FANS FROM NFL GAMES! ROFL

Some are fake Chiefs fans accounts. Dear lord above.

Ah just pre-recorded stuff.

Holthus gets it. Exactly what I said 2 pages ago.

"Not even necessarily ruled out for the next game."

I wouldn't hate letting Pat take a game off this week. Wentz is more than capable, especially after being in our program.

Kris Ketz from KMBC9 just shared my Holthus post on Facebook.

I think the people in the know already know Mahomes will play.

MSN is my default home page that I keep around to laugh at the ridiculous clickbait titles.

Did you know that the Chiefs just released a key player that nobody saw coming?

OMG. Totally. Almost like when Humphries was compared to Roaf and Mahomes was begging him to protect his blinside. Comical that you contribute to fake news and then act shocked by it.

I saw a picture on FB of Andy Reid holding hands with a pregnant Taylor Swift.

Looked legit even if the hands were weird looking.

There is a huge difference between obviously fake news and a troll post.

Did you read the respomses to your original post? Everyone took it seriously.

Truth is in the eye of the beholder. And you muddle that.

Will Andy take Taylor’s last name??

Copypastas are like that. That's OK. The world needs a good copypasta in these dark times.

But copypastas are a sometimes food. These other sites are constantly posting fake news. Please learn the difference.

Our groups never allow BS and click bait shit to be posted in our groups.

I love how a small, sad portion of the internet understands what copypasta is and you think you can use it however you want and pretend everyone gets it.

Please learn the difference between internet losers and normal people.

The post was well received, sir. Please note this particular copypasta has been used many times in the football community. You seek to impugn me when others committed the original sin? I take offense.

Likes and shares do not equate to "well received" as it relates to truthful internet posts.

Offense intended.

Your choice to be a fan. By the way, I hear Hollywood Brown is looking good at practice... :p

Jon Baldwin good?

"Like Tyreek never left"

An Allies like nightmare for Nazeeh Johnson

𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚: #Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown has been “unguardable” and “a headache” for the Chiefs defense so far in practice. He has rarely dropped any passes thrown his way and is continuously getting open.

Brown seems to be Mahomes’s favorite target so far in practice.

This one is a mild sprain. Last one was a severe one.

It's just too easy. LMAO

It's so ****ing easy I might just let someone else do it. I'll give the ether 24 hours.

Based on watching him stalk the sideline this week, compared to his high ankle sprain this is absolutely nothing

Nasty cold and wet conditions demanded Andy pull him before a minor tweak became an actual injury... we good

I think Boomer Facebook Chief Fan needs this important update

I'll probably put it on FB ASAP ROFL

More fun to watch someone else do it on twitter.

Please keep posting videos of Colleen Wolfe.

You keep using that term, but I'm not sure you understand what it means. Just because you wrote several sentences of nonsense doesn't make it a copypasta. People copying it and pasting over and over again makes it a copypasta. I'm pretty sure you're the only person that posted it and knew it was nonsense. Other people posted it because they thought it was real for some reason.

Mahomes is going to try to play no matter what.

The question is will coaches sit him or not

Yes, that's true. In this case, this particular copypasta originated last year. Fans of multiple teams spread it around social media. Thanks for reading this fun edition of a classic NFL copypasta.

Colleen Wolfe gives me a severe high boner sprain.
:drool:

39 years old, she h..o...t

Also this was 100% a penalty. Look at this dirty Browns player aim his helmet at Mahomes.

I would prefer Mahomes not play in the next game.
He needs a rest. His body has taken a beating all season.

I kind of agree. Put Wentz in and see what he can do. If it’s not going well then you put Mahomes in as long as the O line knows they can’t get him killed

That’s what I’d do

The Chiefs can lose 1 game through now till the end of the regular season to maintain the #1 seed.

If Wentz starts and helps beat the Texans then I'd start Carson against the Steelers too.

If we lose then we have to probably play Mahomes the last 2 weeks without having the ability to rest anyone week 18 .

Nor sure why everyone one here thinks the Texans are an easy win, great pass rush good DBs , good wr and a good qb they could easily beat us.

I think we’re forgetting just how good Carson is. He’s a starting caliber nfl qb in Andy Reid’s system. Can definitely win vs Texans

And topping it off by falling on him as he’s bent backwards.

It took 6 turnovers for us to beat the shitty Browns. No game is a walk in the park.

Pat literally said he would have gone back into the game if we weren't winning comfortably. And now it's been confirmed that it's a MILD ankle sprain which means it's nowhere near as bad as his previous injuries and there should be no lingering issues moving forward.

I expect him to practice this week and if he gets through that then he'll play. Then after the texans game if he gets through that game fine then he'll play against the Steelers too. Because that's just the way Pat is wired.

I just hope the O-line guys take this incident and use it as fuel to rise up just like they did in 2022. Different tackles I know but it's time to protect 15 at all cost now.

CJ Stroud and the Texans line are having the exact issues our offense is having, but arguably even worse.

Too much at stake to rest him. Despite recent success, winning a super bowl is hard and requires a few breaks. You aim for the 1 seed these next two games.

Worse case, you don't get it and mahomes gets hurt. Best case you skip a game AND get lowest seeded team in the divisional round. That's a pretty big deal too.

This whole team needs a break, not just mahomes. Only the one seed provides that. It's worth the risk.

Rest him for next two games, Wentz should go 1-1 in his two starts (Texans can be beaten w/ backup QB at home in Arrowhead & Wentz is a bit better than a normal backup QB), bring Mahomes back for last game if necessary to clinch 1 seed

He walked off the field, walked out of the locker room in sneakers.

I'm guessing it's not ready to be amputated.

And that can be a problem. You need to protect the player regardless of if he wants to play or not. It should not be Patricks call.

Yeah, FB is entertaining, but facts aren't part of the itinerary for sure.

In fact, I see more bullshit, and much of it about the Chiefs posted on their than in the romper room. Some really horrible takes, some would even sit Mahomes for having a bad year at 13-1!

I am all for it, give him a break. This team has played one hell of a lot of football games the last five years.

Bit late for that, time to protect Pat by running the ball a considerable amount more was 4 games ago.

Give him a break for what reasoning?

He walked off on his own power and wanted to come back in the game. The #1 seed is right there for us, this is where you separate yourself from the rest. These type of situations make you great. You play through injury for your teammates, trying to get the #1 seed so everyone gets a rest day.

Texans have the worst run defense, just design run plays, quick slants and screens. He’s needs to be on the field if he says he can go.

He isn't perfect enough for enough Chiefs fans for it to matter anyway

This is the way they will do it or try to

Because it's not just his ankle that's messed up. He's mentally fried and not seeing the field when he does get good protection. If he can't move and can't see the field then maybe a week break would do him some good.

Who said he’s mentally fried or is that your assumption? Again, you don’t sit players bc they’re fried lol. It’s call being resilient.

Mahomes isn’t Anthony Richardson, you play him if he says he’s ready to go. It’s that simple.

He needs as many reps with the offense as possible, resting him only takes it away. How do you expect this offense to get into sync?

I doubt it. But if they win the next 2 games they clinch the 1 seed and get 3.5 weeks off to work on fixing the offense before their divisional game which sounds better

I didn’t see this until I made my previous posts, we’re on the same page.

Mahomes shouldn’t be the only one entitled to a break. Hell, I’m sure he knows most of his guys are battered injuries too, we just don’t see it as fans.

I think Mahomes should rest for this game but he's going to play. He's going to play as long as his leg is still attached to his body and even if it wasn't Andy would have to pull rank to get him to sit out for 2 drives.

I don't understand the "sit Patrick no matter what" talk. If he's not ready, sure. But if he is ready, he better damn well be in there Saturday. We have to assume Buffalo wins out, meaning we HAVE to win 2 out of 3 remaining games. This is our last home game and having PMII at QB gives us our best chance to win.

Patrick should play.

Let me help you there.

I'll tell you what, If I was Clark Hunt, I would be calling whoever is responsible for all these non-calls against our QB. This is bullshit. Goodell, the head referee in charge, whoever....and tell them, "You know what? Forget about your Netflix ****ing special if this is the abuse you're going to let happen to our QB. Any other scheduling quirks that you want our QB to be in, forget it. Watch your ratings plummet. This has gone on for waaaay to long. Start protecting our QB like every other team gets!"
