Chiefs If KC is 13-1....do you rest the starters? - Page 2

Not until home field is locked down. And even then, you'd only rest them the last week, they're already going to get a week off in that scenario. You can't lay guys up for three or four weeks and expect them to come out in playoff form

I think this is the most sensible thing to do. The Steelers and Chargers (today) only have 2 losses and Houston and NE have 3. Now I realize there's a lot of football to be played, but 2 losses could put us on the WC round.

The Chargers win out. We lose to the Rams/Chargers we are in the WC. This thing aint over yet.

Definitely rest Berry, he needs some time off to heal.

Chiefnj2 · 11-13-2018, 07:17 AM

Yes, rest them.

It seems like every playoff game KC loses someone to an injury and then the offense falls apart. Give the #2's some reps so they can finally step up if need be.

Gravedigger · 11-13-2018, 10:49 AM

No rest! Go hard or go home!

**BigRedChief** · 11-13-2018, 07:26 AM

I'm going to my first game at Arrowhead in 11 years vs. the Raiders. But, I'd rather see a Super Bowl win on TV than Mahomes play in person.

Just rest a couple of our broke dicks

Hog's Gone Fishin · 11-13-2018, 07:30 AM

Mahomes doesn't rest unless he's already broken all the NFL single season passing records. And then maybe.

BleedingRed · 11-13-2018, 07:39 AM

No, 13-3 curse is real..... 14-2 or 15-1 please!

Not to mention that we need Mahomes to have as many’s reps as possible before a bye week.

You can guard our players sure, Hunt/Watkins/Travis/Hill snap count but you keep Oline in there with Mahomes let Robinson/Conely/Harris get reps

**TribalElder** · 11-13-2018, 07:47 AM

Last game rest the starters

I think playing the raiders week 17 will cause more harm than good

Beating a weak opponent gives a false sense of accomplishment in a time when the rest of the games are about to go up to the next level in intensity

It would be a nice problem to have. I would definitely not want to rest them for an entire game. Play the entire second to last game and play the last game like the third preseason game.

Wasn’t it the Colts a while back who rested everyone in the final week, and the team they got in because of that went on to beat them in the playoffs?
