2024 NFL Season
-
The next question is do you play starters at all in Denver? You hate to lose this momentum you have built these last few weeks but don’t want to risk any injuries. Maybe play them for a quarter? 26 days to the divisional round that’s a long time to get rusty.
-
Rest them
Meaningless game
-
That was an amazing win
On the road
-
Rest them! Awesome robes or coats or whatever. Cake in fb? Dumb idea!
-
I think our backups have been playing as starters
-
Mahomes, Jones, Kelce, Bolton, Hollywood, Hunt, Trenton M, Reid
They should all rest
Perhaps some others

Gonzales said he’d pay the fine
To me that’s asinine that’s it’s a penalty to pay homage to a guys record you just broke. Not sure what is different in doing the dunk compared to dancing
I think knowing you will get penalized makes it more meaningful and memorable.

Doesn’t Andy Reid typically rest players once KC has locked in their playoff seed?
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 yes!
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 he has in the past for sure it’s just a little different this year with the amount of days between now and a game that matters.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 actually I liked it
I thought it was cool
-
@kjayhawks with the brutal schedule they have played and knowing that bye was only after week 5 I would give them extra rest and let them get back to practice week before playoff game
This will provide physical and mental rest
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 yes
That’s how he operates
-
@Crimsonorblue22 it’s not too bad from what I can tell but they did not want to take any chance before playoffs
I think Chiefs pass rush was very good even without Jones
-
Pete Carroll has showed interest in Bears HC job.
He will be a solid candidate in my opinion.
-
Bengals vs Broncos was one incredible game last night
Some unbelievable catches
-
If the bengals make the playoffs does Burrow get MVP?
-
@kjayhawks Should be very much in the conversation
-
After watching the Broncos beat the chiefs Sunday and act like they just won the game of the century. I really hope they beat the Bills this week. All the chiefs starters watched them run up the score and act like fools Sunday. I like the idea of Chris Jones, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, George Karlaudas, Trent Mcduffie and co being a little extra motivated.
-
Ah, yea. the Chiefs played Sunday! I didn’t get to watch, but i saw the score.
I guess the key takeaway was that LT Humphries didn’t shine?
-
@kjayhawks I’m not convinced that sitting the starters Sunday was a great idea. They get out of sync, out of rhythm. Plus they get a bye game. Chiefs lose big in their next game. Take it to the bank. Like Mahomes’ paycheck
-
@nuleafjhawk I’m not sure if it was or wasn’t at this point, I suppose we will find out in a few weeks. I will say a couple things that I’m thinking are good. Since Patrick Mahomes became a starter the chiefs have played 18, yes 18 playoff games. That is a game more than an entire extra season and more than anyone else by I believe 7 games. So I think getting these 3 weeks off will be huge for their bodies personally. I highly doubt they are all laying around drinking bud light during this time frame. I’m sure they are doing some light conditioning and some practicing. To start the season no one’s says hey these guy have to remember how to play football the first few weeks before they know what they are doing again. They are professionals they don’t work at jiffy lube on Tuesdays and Thursdays to keep busy. They are all football all the time most of them even in the offseason.
-
A game Mahomes plays 4 quarters in is very unlikely to be a loss, much less a blowout loss. 80% QBWinz stat lol - take it to the bank 80% of the time.
-
@dylans if I’m not mistaken he has 4 losses by more than one score in his career and has the highest win percentage in NFL history in games he’s trailed by double digits in. You saw with Wentz how much Pat improvises to save sacks and make plays.
-
Chiefs didn’t play defensived game plan they will use in playoffs. Reid and players said it was essentially a preseason “basic vanilla” defensive plan. And the Chiefs were 0-4 in preseason. DJ wasn’t very good but didn’t have the first string OL in most of his time.

I think you’re a pretty good guy (gal?) and I’m not being argumentative but I got a chuckle out of this - “They are all football all the time most of them even in the offseason.”
They may not be drinking Bud Light, but they are definitely not thinking strictly about football. State Farm Insurance, Whataburger, KC Royals, Sporting KC, whatever the women’s soccer team is, these are the things they are thinking about. The money makers.
-
@nuleafjhawk mahomes is trying to heal up his bad ankle. You did know he was injured? Most of the guys that sat out were injured.

The Chiefs won the Super Bowl resting Mahomes last season and went to the Super Bowl in 2023 after resting starters the final week.

Nuttin wrong with resting the players IMO. Long ass season. Mahomes hurt, etc. Rest will be a good thing. However, that Broncos score was painful regardless. I would have hoped for more from the team, however many backups were playing. an NFL shutout? Practically unheard of.
-
@Kcmatt7 it’s just my opinion. They’re going to have 3 weeks (?) off. Practice is not like full contact, game situation football. I don’t know that I’m the Patrick Mahomes of what I do, but I’m really good at my job. After a two week vacation, I’m worthless for a while. It takes time to get back into “game mode”.
I hope I’m wrong. I hope they’re rested and healthy and kick butt. But I won’t be surprised if they don’t.

Okay but using your own analogy they aren’t even off of work. They didn’t all go vacation in Cancun for 3 weeks. There is still structure they are adhering to.
-
I trust Andy Reid to keep team together and ready to play in the playoffs
-
The fact that we are catching flak for resting our starters in a meaningless (for us) week 17 game proves two things
-
We live rent free in other fanbases heads to an unprecedented degree
-
NFL fans are VERY stupid.
Resting your starters on the last week when you have nothing to play for is standard practice and has NEVER been controversial. I don’t even think the nationally hated Patriots were ever criticized for it in the 2010s. I guess we are now the greatest villains in football history BWAHAHA

@Jhawk69 Bengal’s tears are nearly as tasty as Tiger tears! Certainly very salty!!!

Every team in the league has more or less done this historically as well. Very selective outrage and/or people have short memories.
-
-
@BShark The Bengals are resting all their players this week! Hypocrites!!!
-
I listened to the New Heights podcast the other day and all the people yaking about the chiefs throwing the game has pissed off Kelce pretty hardcore. If yall remember the great playoffs he had last season after a very average regular season. It’s about to happen again I think. He has been saving himself for big games in this stage of his career. Everyone just keep talking and adding fuel to the fire. The chiefs are about ready to be rested and healthier than they been all year.
-
I think the Steelers are silly for benching Fields I’m sorry but Wilson is way past his prime and made some very silly decisions tonight. A guy has to wonder if he has played his final game as a starter in the NFL
-
How about Chargers melting down in Houston.
4 INTs for Herbert.
-
Well unfortunately I think my boys Season comes to the end today.- -We got the task of playing Philly in Philly ( 14- 3 ) @ 3:30 .
We played them the 1st game of the year and lost 34 --29, just a bad match up- -Hurts is playing- And the stud RB more then anything, just don’t think we are stopping him- -I think he finished right at 2,000 yards rushing didn’t he ?
Think it would just have to be out scoring them in a slug fest even though Josh Jacobs has been really good for us I just don’t feel without Watson & not sure about Dobbs - -two key receivers - -Watson for sure ACL -Afraid I’m going to have to say we probably get beat by two TD’S- -Welp there is always next year lol
-
Good one going in Buffalo.
Denver has found its QB in Bo Nix.

2025 AFC West offseason champs! I’m declaring it now to get ahead of the media. lol the hype is real!!!
-
Great game in Philly, Stafford almost pulled out magic but a sack sealed his fate
-
Maybe the Bears have a coach at long last. @FarmerJayhawk What do you think?
-
@wissox Good hire.
-
@dylans I think Caleb Williams hired him actually from what it appears.
-
@wissox He was the hottest offensive coordinator option. I believe he will help Caleb immensely. How he manages the rest of the team? His coordinator hires will be telling.
-
To elaborate a bit. Both risky and smart to not go the retread route. McCarthy isn’t winning in the playoffs. Carol is good, but a pretty short term option. Other known options were less appealing. I’d say it was a good hire.
-
Kelce went out and bought a 3.3 million dollar house to help for homeless kids have a place to stay - - this coming off his 46 million contract extension --Some people DO STILL CARE Thank you Travis
-
@SlimShaddy54 if he really cared, he’d buy ME a 3.3 million dollar house. Somewhere warm
Jk - that’s great
