Good God, do you ever check your facts or data before you open your big dumb mouth?

Mathieu has missed just one start as a Chief. That's 47 starts out of 48 possible games. Sorry, that's two; there was the game he missed because of the stupid virus.

In fact, HB has started every game since 2017, other than the two previously mentioned.

He's not like you. He's never been one to find excuses not to work or decide to take a 'personal day,' whatever the **** those are. His résumé speaks for itself.

And we need him on the field because he scares the piss out of opposing OCs and QBs, not because he's a great motivational speaker. He's the ghost in our defense. he hides in plain sight making OCs sweat and QBs question themselves. And always the same question runs around in their heads and leaks out of their mouths: "where's 32? find 32 before you snap the ball."

Which does little to no good, because Honey Badger plays like his namesake: he's a con artist and a thief extraordinaire. He turns whatever part of the field he stakes out into his own personal Hall of Smoke and Mirrors.

Damn, some of you guys don't know shit about football. Hell, team sports in general.

You lost him at facts and data. Keep in mind he calls himself a shrink but in reality he’s a glorified camp counselor.

Don’t be so dramatic. He doesn’t scare the piss out of QBs and OCs. He’s a good coverage safety but he’s not Ed Reed or Charles Woodson.

Look in the mirror my friend. Obviously you have never played the game. Did you love those 3rd and 4th down conversion to 1st down runs by Allen that kept them alive so he 'could' make those rope TD passes that eventually surpassed us in the score of the game ??? Get back to me when you finally realize what a safety does when a QB decides to run and make no mistake Josh was not hiding the fact he was an actual RB on a lot of those plays as well especially in the first half.

I played for two and a half years before blowing out my knee. Albeit that was just two seasons in HS and a few months in college before I realized that my knee just wasn't going to support that level of play and i had to leave the team. But before that I also separated my right shoulder (type 3 sep) and partially dislocated my left shoulder, and sprained both ankles in that 2.5 seasons. I missed just four games prior to blowing out my knee, all due to my separated shoulder; couldn't wear pads with it for three weeks. I finally stuck a towel in there and took 4-5 Tylenol and bout the same amount of Advil just to get back on the field with my team.

Mostly I played in the secondary as a coverage CB, occasionally as a deep safety. Of course, none of that really qualifies me as any kind of expert on safety play at the NFL level, but your accusation was simply that I'd never played football or safety at any level, which I have.

Note: the above summary of my experience is basically why TM might not try to fly into every tackle with his head on fire. He is undersized, not much bigger than I was in HS, and one thing I learned in my short football career was that smaller guys flying full speed into bigger guys inevitably ends with the smaller guy getting hurt eventually. Picking your moments is definitely a better strategy. And just about every vet player does it/has done it, so I really never saw a problem as long as he was making tackles and playing big in the biggest moments in the playoffs.

And where are these 3rd and 4th down runs you speak of? Because as I recall Mathieu was injured during the first series, right? On a 4th-and-2 (3?) designed run play? Something like that? You'll have to give us a link or at least the drive number if you want to talk about some 3rd down play Mathieu was involved in.

So what you're saying is that Tyrann, who's played in all but two Chiefs games since coming over, started and played in 63 out of his last 65 possible games, played sick and hurt multiple times, suddenly decided to call it a day just minutes into the Divisional game. He just suddenly decided he'd had enough, that's your argument.

Yeah, I feel pretty confident calling BS on that.

You misunderstand, my point was I wish HB was in there stopping these 3rd and 4th down conversion runs to 1st downs with the old HB attitude.

Pretty much. During that first series he recognized real quick Allen was going to be Deeboing more than usual and he wasn't having it and mailed it in. Which means he already had reservations to begin with and these signs have been evident for quite some time as some posters in this thread have already noted throughout the season.

These opinionated statements of mine about HB and his previous soft play this season and mailing it in this last game are not meant to be incendiary or some kind of personal judgement against the guy but rather evaluating "football character and commitment" to the game at hand. This is not evaluating his personal character off the field whatsoever but rather evaluating it "on the field". It's not surprising many have a "tender ass" or experienced some "red ass" or in CP's terms "butthurt" by my opinions of HB's play this season and most recent game. But I always try to deal in truth and reality in my posts in what I see(still an opinion and I get it) BUT we are all "flawed and human" and so is HB. We all get tired and burnt out and let up at times as does HB. This is all I am trying to get across is, is that HB is human and IMHO he doesn't have that "edge" any longer and that is OK. But IMHO again, don't put that uniform on unless you intend to use it and HB ain't been using it like he had in previous years.
