    Default Should we sit our starters

    So we can have our team well rested and injury free for the playoffs? I personally think we should treat next weeks game as a playoff game let Croyle come in and stink up the place for the first half then let guitterez play in the second, I also wanna jackie battle get some more reps.

    I'm not really sure this discussion has a purpose any more. I believe Haley has made it clear that he intends to go into Arrowhead with all guns blazing this week. Though I would expect that if we build a 21 or more point lead that he would pull some our bigger offensive names. JMHO

    This hence why I have not posted anymore in this thread. Plus this was supposed to be a friendly discussion some of you are getting a little carried away with yourself.

    Would threatening a hunger strike until everyone agrees we shouldn't pull our starters be considered getting carried away? Cuz that is my next move

    Not sure about the Bucs. Never said that anything that happened previously had any bearing on what happens this weekend. I've just simply stated what has happened historically to this point.

    Want another bit trivia? Look at the QB position for the Chiefs. Look what's happened with the QB's that have drafted, with the latest example being Brodie Croyle ( not saying he was ever good to begin with ). The only QB that the Chiefs ever drafted that had any remote success was Mike Livingston. By contrast, the best QB's in Chiefs history have come via trade or FA, with the latest example -- Matt Cassel. There is no explanation, it just simply happened that way.

    Stating those things is not superstitous...basing your strategy going into the playoffs around those things is superstitous.
    This is not correct. It has nothing to do with superstition. Not wanting the Chiefs to put all their stock into a meaningless game and make sure that they have all their key players healthy going into the post season has nothing to do superstition. If they lose key players in Sundays game against the Raiders, then their chances of succeeding in the post season are reduced, drastically.

    Sorry man, I believe I brought up something that has spooked some people regarding what I mentioned regarding the unbeaten home record. Maybe that'll change and the Chiefs will win the next two games (perhaps five).

    Stuff that has happend Historicly has nothing to do with what we should do. Otherwise it doesn't matter if we start our starters or rest them becuse we historicly for the last 16 years don't win playoff games. So we might as well just give up?

    And pretty sure people historicly said the Saints would never win a superbowl guess that didn't happen either.

    Just becuse something has historicly happend does not mean that it always will.

    That wasn't what I was saying at all. How many times do I need to point out that I hoped history would change? My point is the same as figcrostics and buffmans316 -- that this game against the Raiders isn't as meaningful, as the postseason and if certain Chiefs players get hurt against the Raiders and can't play in the postseason, I hardly think it's worth it.

    This game is NOT completly meaningless in fact a Win in the raider game COULD be huge. If we get the number 3 seed that means if both the teams that get a bye go down in the divisonal round with us winning against one and whoever wins the other wildcard game wins we get a 2nd HOME GAME. Is it likely no but It COULD happen. If we lose and get the 4th seed it's even harder to get a 2nd home game. There IS meaning into this game.

    Well....I don't know about anybody else, but I'm surely looking forward to our first home playoff win in many years!

    GO CHIEFS!!!

    Don't agree with any of that at all. They should be ready take on anyone, anywhere as far as the post-season is concerned - -and if they aren't -- then where they are seeded doesn't matter and the game against the Raiders is all that much more meaningless. Much rather have all key starters healthy in the post season, than worry about where the Chiefs are seeded.
