And that's why you coach aggressive.

 

KC will need Mahomes HEALTHY otherwise Buffalo is going to beat them by double digits.

They definitely missed a beat. Chiefs survived. 

Not as much as other teams would have however. 6/8 for 66 yards and basically making some clutch passes.

Not gonna lie, Chiefs didn’t seem to miss much of a beat with Henne in.

 

Edit* To clarify there was a drop off to be sure in production but nowhere near what other teams would experience.

Give the Bills a week to prepare for Henne with Mahomes unavailable, and I think they will demonstrate to everyone the difference between having to face Chad for an entire game that starts 0-0, not just the final quarter and protecting a 2 score lead.

This poster’s history is that he’s not a fan of Mahomes, so connect the dots as to why he’s saying what he’s saying.  

[Mr.Debonair]

Oh look what a QB who can move a little bit can do

Chad Henne

I mean honestly now. Just because I’m different from the cool kids doesn’t mean you guys can’t play with me.

On to NO let's go Saints! Get Tommy boy!

They were also loading the box .   Mahomes doesn't get those coverages. 

[holeymoley99]

Butker looked shaky left 4 points off the board, been a rough post season for many kickers. He will need to be better next week if Henne is in there.

I don’t doubt it. I was merely offering an observation on the level of play of one Chad Henne

He did play better than I expected him to, with a clutch run & a pass to seal the game but it's different than trying to generate offense over an entire game, like he'll have to if he's the guy next week but hey, he did beat out Colin Kaepernick in the latter's final NFL season.

[Chrisaaron1023]

Off topic but I just noticed CBS is hosting the Superbowl?.. why isn't it NBCs turn?!

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Reich is right. To win a championship you have to be aggressive. You have to trust your players will execute. He could of punted that ball deep but he trusted can his players to finish. That long run by Henne was ridiculous the Browns allowed that. 

[Tsarquise]

Glad the Chiefs sent the loser Browns home, next up is the loser Bills; the Chiefs win that game and everything will be as it should be.

True. I think the lack of preparation for him is the real key as someone else pointed out.

He has a lot of weapons though.

So did Matt Cassell when he took over the Pats starting job in the wake of Brady's Week 1 injury - he won 11 games with a team that had won 18 the year prior, but failed to make the playoffs that year.

Oh No, that means listening to Romo 

Of course if Brady's in I won't watch which means no Romo.  Lol

How do you not pull for the Bills? They’re the absolutely best sports story we’ve had in years.

I don't think you'll  have to worry about that - whomever wins tonite's "Battle of the Ages" will most likely lose next weekend at Green Bay.

The call was a little delayed, but it appeared to me that what is described as a crackback did occur, especially hitting the lineman low.

 

 

It really doesn't matter now, we can agree to disagree. 

 

From your link though.

 

Crackback is a block by an offensive player who is usually positioned away from the main body of the formation and runs back in towards the ball at the snap, blocking an opponent back toward the original position of the ball at the snap.

 

 

That is not what happened. He blocked him away from the original position of snap.

 

It was questionable at best, and being late made it worse. Like I said though it doesn't matter anyway.

 

 

Appreciate the answer.

Again.. hopefully so!

[IinD]

For me it's all Bills then Packers. I'll root for our old AFC East rivals.

 

I don't wanna hear the Mahomes is the new Brady talk for the next few years.

[teganslaw]

I like Tony Romo, but he was too excited about the Chiefs' winning. Maybe he likes Chad Henne or is a Chiefs fan. 

 

Now hoping New Orleans can take Brady and co. down. 

[LJpalmbeacher2]

The brownies showed why their still the Brownies. The moment was TOO BIG for them, wasting time outs when your behind in the second half...Bad offensive & Defensive play calls. 

Down by only 5 they had the ball with 5 mins left. A TD drive probably puts them in the Championship game. They wound up with a 4th & long and had to punt!!!

THEY CHOCKED.

What is so great about their story? That they were losers for over two decades? 

 

Steffon Diggs has a punchable face. Jerry Hughes is annoying when he said the Colts never gave him a chance years ago, and ignored the fact that he played like garbage for us. They beat the Colts in a travesty (Colts should have won), and they're over hyped. 

 

I like Mahomes, I think he is the best QB in the league. Never seen a QB enter the league and dominate like him. I like Andy Reid; I think he is one of the best coaches in the league and I want to want to see them win another ring. I love how their team plays the game. Haha, and my favorite color is red. 

 

For some reason people love rooting for losers or (ahem) the underdog. 

 

Want to know someone with an amazing story? Tom Brady. Would be amazing if he made it to another Super Bowl and won it. 

 

Edit: on second thought, maybe I should root for the Bills, because the story of them going all the way to the Super Bowl and losing it for the 5th time is hilarious. It would make it all the more hilarious if Brady made it to the Super Bowl and they lost their 5th to to him. So maybe I should root for the Bills AND the Bucs.

I personally thought he sounded like he was rooting for the Browns the whole game.

 

 

I just think he was surprised at Andy Reid's call.

Huge return! Let's gooooo!
