Sorry bro, that’s a major oversimplification of what’s happening. Reid has been a head coach for a long time. He’ll make the right decision.

Time to fire up another " which players should sit out " thread.

I’m guessing there may be opinions in the MVS threads. Maybe more encompassing than one game.

Players care about that stuff, and letting him get it is part of how Andy gains so much respect.

This. Im frankly surprised at how some have minimalized the importance.

Imagine putting hours and hours and years upon years on a game to break a record. Then one day a lightning storm wipes out everything and you reset at 0. Now imagine that the entire world was watching and these accolades will be talked about by millions for dozens of years. There's a small physical toll to playing a few extra snaps but there's also a mental toll for falling that short.

And man, for a guy nearing retirement... Do we think it's not a big big difference between continuing to chase a milestone this offseason versus starting the season reset at 0?

Our HOF coach needs to dial up his best play. Get travis his 16 yards and have him take a knee. It honestly would not surprise me if the chargers groove that so we can get that distraction out of the way.

Toney and the refs also erased 20 yards from kelce with that offsides penalty.

Does Kelce have a 1000 yard bonus? If not ****ing awful to let him play, at all.

Id imagine any starters that sit that are closer to bonuses, will get the bonus paid.

I'm hoping they run a couple plays right out of the gate where they bring in Hardman, MVS and Watson to clear shit out for him. I'm sure Andy will scheme up some nice shit so they get him out as quickly as possible if they do decide to play him.

Can't wait for Gabbert to dominate Sunday and then the haters come out and say Mahomes sucks lol

Also for anyone who thinks 17 games is less of an accomplishment, I imagine the Chiefs would have tried way harder to get him those final yards in the final games in a 16 game season. If he was that close we'd find a way to get him his yards .

Its not about one day either, its essentially a week off

I always wondered about the logistics..

Any starter who sits out this week will still practice this week, won’t they? Or are they given the whole week off?

I imagine he will be a limited participant

No way should Kelce play. That would be almost as dumb as having Mahomes play a quarter. As far as 1,000 yards receiving, he had his chance to get there and blew it. It means nothing to the team anyway.

How do people think these guys are casual about this?
