The reason they are doing the "Mahomes thing" is because he is the one in this situation. I haven't seen one person say that the others wouldn't try to get ready in 1 week when it typically takes longer. Your KC fan homerism is showing with this post as you defend a position that has not been made by anyone.
That's my thought.
Sure.
This is what I saw and responded in the game thread. There was no hit to the head, he was literally choked out if you watch it on the replay. Actually if he would have just laid there until he got his air back to his brain as a fighter would have, then got up when he felt fine, he probably would have returned to the game in a couple of plays. But with the way he got up quick and stumbled around on National tv you had to take it more serious.
I posted in the game thread that it looked more WWE/WWF than it did anything else. Like a wrestling choke out, exactly what happened.
Disagree and in this case Glazer is wrong. It was not a choke, it was the force of Patrick's brain violently crashing into the front of his helmet.
I have to agree with Bracie. I didn't see anything approaching a choke hold, and I definitely saw his head smack the turf, which is what I posted in the game thread at the time. I really don't understand people saying the head bounce off the turf didn't happen.
On the tackle it looked like he was brought down or when he went down that the tackle was mostly around his neck, I didn't mean that he was literally CHOKED out like Ric Flair but it was an arm around his entire neck, seemed awkward...look Reid says "He's doing great and that's a good sign" and he's the Head Coach, that should be good enough.
It wasn't a choke hold. See the video I linked and here is a post the doctor made specifically addressing that Patrick did not get choked-out by a choke hold.

When Reid updated Mahomes injury, it felt like a Used Car Salesman suddenly appeared across the desk..."yeah we can buff that right out, no problem"And my meter is broken apparently. Seems so obvious now that you pointed it out.
Ii just hope he's right (and by that, I mean Mahomes is ok and they don't just manage to sneak him in to a game he shouldn't be playing in). I really feel like we'd be cheated out of a great game if Mahomes can't go. I did vote he'd be 100% playing though because I think they'll do whatever it takes to get him in the game. Then again, I fully admit to not being familiar with the full scope of concussion protocol for the NFL. Maybe the system can't be "cheated"?
If it matters ... this Dr. Sutterer is the same guy that did a video breakdown of how and why Drew Brees would be able to be medically cleared at the four-week mark after 11 broken ribs. Sutterer posted that video within a
I didn't read your poll question right and thought you were asking for odds that he WOULD play. So you have a 75% vote that should be a 25% vote.
Even Matt Moore won a couple of games 2 years ago in KC. But the Reid scheme and talent at WR and TE won't be enough to keep up with Josh Allen and the Bills. KC will likely lose unless Mahomes plays.
just need a plausible alternative so they can avoid the standard concussion protocols.
Really, Yahoo?
Did the exact same thing.Doug B said:
Sounds familiar... wasn't the 2001 Patriot's situation something similar - except Bledsoe came back in the AFCCG? And there was a question who would start the SB?
It was a concussion and hit HEAD hit the ground with force. He was fine until the top of his helmet struck the ground and his head/brain slammed to the impact causing his body to instantly react with a 'fencing position' which is a clear sign of a brain injury/concussion.Mr.Pack said:
