Chiefs Should Mahomes play this week? - Page 4

**BigRedChief** · 10-28-2019, 05:40 PM

Doctors medically cleared him to play last week. He said publicly that if it was a playoff game, he’d played.

It’s your decision. Should Mahomes play this week against the Vikings?

So it's just a coincidence that several of our players go out after getting hurt and then end up being out for a long time. Just bad luck, poor us.

We didn’t get the calls against NE in the AFCCG, and I can all but guarantee we wouldn’t get them there again if it played out that way this year. Rest him and the ankle and knee one more week and then run the table when everyone comes back.

This.
Personally,Id rest him until after the bye.

if he didn't have the ankle, i would say yes

We just lost to the Packers by 7, you don't think Mahomes is worth 7+ points a game?

How is his ankle doing?

JD10367 · 10-29-2019, 05:49 AM

He should play. The Vikings are not a pushover. I’m sure they can fit him with a knee brace to protect him. Even though it will limit his prized mobility, what’s better: a knee braced Mahomes or a healthy Matt Moore?

Only if his spirit is in it

how is this game meaningless?

oldman · 10-29-2019, 07:02 AM

I'm on the fence about this. Yes, the medical staff has cleared him, but let's get real, they don't have a stellar reputation in my book. Yes, the kid wants to play, but if he's still gimpy, I'm not ready to send him back out there.
Let's also get real that HFA is a pipe dream at this point and maybe a 1st round bye is too. Our chance of a shot at the SB rests solely on the shoulders of a 24 year old Patrick Mahomes II and if he isn't on the field for the rest of the season, kiss not only the SB goodbye, but perhaps even the AFCW title.
There's no need to say yay or nay on a Tuesday when the game is on Sunday. Let's see what this week brings.

**MahiMike** · 10-29-2019, 07:17 AM

Wow the vote is close. Sit him until after the bye.

This. Even with Mahomes there's a good chance we lose to the Vikings.

Let the man heal up as much as possible and perhaps play him the week before the bye. That gives him two weeks to heal up after his first game back and hopefully our line will have a few guys back...

I think the game would have played out much differently with Mahomes in. The Packers would have played differently and the Chiefs would have played differently.

**Shiver Me Timbers** · 10-29-2019, 02:50 PM

Suit him up
start Moore
Screw with the odds makers heads

BlackOp · 10-29-2019, 03:10 PM

If he isn't healed then no...but for reasons beyond that.

I hope Reid and Mahomes take note of how effective playing "small ball" is...teams are scared to death of Hill.

If Mahomes can quit chucking it 25 yards every play...they will be a much better football team. The defense wont be gassed by the 3rd quarter...

Still take your shots...but burn the clock too. It'll force teams like NE to quit double-teaming Hill as you are nickle and diming them to death.

It'll keep Mahomes from taking too many hits...

They had a drive like this vs. the Texans and it looked like child's play...
