It needs to be Thuney at LT for the playoffs. :-) about "we need him back inside for the run game". It's a dumb take. This offense goes through Pat. [Reply]
Yeah I mean Im undefeated in Chiefsplanet bets and if one of you wants to bet real money that Thuney won't be starting at LT in the divisional. Well you let me know. [Reply]

More than likely we were going to get a result that said "idk, maybe he can do it, maybe not." The only way you'll find out is if you start him in the playoffs, and at that point it might be a game-altering horrific mistake.
I'm not trying to prop up Thuney and Caliendo as great, but we've run out of time. We don't know what we have with Humphries, but we do know what we have with Thuney.
We also know what we have in Caliendo. And it was shite.
Moreover, in 2 of the 3 games Thuney played at LT he wasn't any better than Humphries was today.
Given that we're probably going to play the Chargers in the Divisional, I think I'd go Thuney. We can play a pretty tight, mistake free offense and win that game. The only way we lose it is if we turn the ball over.
But at the same time, that will firmly close the door on Humphries and I think we just might need more than that in the AFCCG and SB.
It's just a much harder decision than some are making it, IMO. Thuney has definitely not been the rock wall some are suggesting at LT and Caliendo has looked real bad the last two weeks.
As a couch warrior I want to see Humphries. If I were in Andy's chair, I'm not sure I could talk myself into it. [Reply]

Oh after today, if anyone thinks it's anyone but Thuney they are high. [Reply]

No one knows what you are talking about.
No one said Thuney was Oralndo Pace, but for 3 games he was MILES ahead of anything Humphries showed today. Not even close.
The offense had its best games with Joe at LT. That's enough. [Reply]

No, he’s absolutely spot on. How do you think those three games go with Wentz in there holding the ball for 5 seconds?
The safe play is Thuney, but it isn’t going to cut in the big games. If we want to have any semblance of a running game back, you have to have Thuney at LG. [Reply]

Yeah, I'm with you on Thuney not being all that some are making him out to be at LT. That said, yeah I believe he'd get us there in the playoffs. I don't like what we have next to him at LG though and don't feel any confidence behind Caliendo whatsoever.
I saw enough from Humphries to think he'll be okay and you have Thuney next to him instead of a scrub. Outside of a few snaps, Humphries was actually burying Bonitto in the turf most of the game and his weakness is speed rushers. He has another two weeks to keep knocking the rust off. I'd roll with Humphries at LT and Thuney LG but that's me. I guess I'm not as scared as some. [Reply]

My GUESS is that Humphries showed enough that they'll give him a shot next to Thuney for the first game, but he'll have a short leash. If he starts whiffing like he did in the second half, he's done. [Reply]

It’s definitely not a perfect scenario either way but sacks on Mahomes have been way down since moving Thuney to LT. Patrick has looked more comfortable than he’s been all season. Maybe it’s playcalling to ge the ball out quicker but Thuney has looked improved each game. [Reply]

Yes…he got good reps, it will give Andy film to open up the gameplay even more.
I will be shocked if he isn’t the starter going forward. [Reply]
Is there a source for that other than "fatty patty" on Twitter? I'm not denying it, but I haven't seen that claim before. I'd love to see the actual ratings. [Reply]

You can go look it up. He gave up no sacks. He also wasn't getting a bunch of help like many on here claimed either but I didn't save that stat link. [Reply]
