Houston is second in the league in sacking the QB. Mahomes with any lesser degree of mobility than usual will take more hits than usual and his OL still sucks. Next Wednesday he plays the Steelers who also get after the QB quite a lot. The week after that he plays Denver who leads the league in sacks and sacked him 4 times and hit him 9 times in their first meeting. This is all good.
Only the LT position has been bad for KC. And Wanya Morris likely won't take another snap this year. The guy they moved to LT (Thuney) literally leads the NFL in pass block win rate. I think the OL problem (going forward) might be a little overstated.

This is exactly the game I was thinking about. You're right.
Well I suppose if there are different grades then ok. They make it sound week to week fearing missing games and he missed 0 seconds of a practice. I guess I just never bought into him being hurt. I just seem to remember whenever anyone had a high ankle, they're done for a couple weeks or so.
Roethlisberger once came back in the 2nd half after a high ankle sprain.-

I'm willing to guess he never even had a high ankle sprain. He hurt his foot and they had to say something to make it sound worse as to why he left the game. We all feel so bad for him and then applaud his strength and will to fight. Blah. Anyone else is out weeks. You can't tell me he's "good to go after a week of practicing".
Many players have played the next game after a high ankle sprain. Sometimes they’re less effective, but many have done it. Unless they were all lying for attention too. -

Didnt say I respect it. I pointed out, regarding Josh, that he’s above gimping around. And to repeat, if a defender is making a bone head error in unnecessary contact or roughness then I have no problem with Josh dramatizing it a little. That is the defenders fault.
Your own guy has a panache for doing exactly the same.
The difference, and I’m obviously having to repeat myself, Mahomes isn’t punched in the head or has his genitals grabbed and roughed up by players in a pile up or scrum. It happens to Josh on the regular.
I haven't heard about this. If that's something that's unique to Allen....what's the reason for that?41 minutes ago, Sojourner said:
I’m failing to understand the contradiction or even criticism of the coaching staff lol. There’s none. I pointed out I had an injury and my coaches kept me from playing. Essentially the same with Mahomes. Merely alluding that the injury isn’t as bad for him as has been reported or led to believe if he’s fully participating in practice…I don't see where people are getting the idea that KC's led anyone to believe it's a serious injury. Seems like they've almost gone out of their way to indicate the opposite. Reid even said he'd have gone back into the game if it were the playoffs. It's the media that's going crazy over this and saying they should sit him.

Who is your AFC and NFC champion?
I don't have a strong opinion for either yet. I think HFA is going to be huge this year. After toying with the ESPN Playoff Machine, I think Minnesota actually has a solid chance to steal the 1 seed in the NFC. Wouldn't be surprised to see them in the SB if that happens, but as of now I'm leaning Eagles.
1 hour ago, Kelly to Allen said:Do you think buffalo and KC will play in the AFC championship?
I think Baltimore should worry either team. Their defense has improved. Buffalo might be the better team, but they clearly don't match up well. I'm sure they'd fare better at home, but it might take 40 pts to get the W.
Another thing I noticed while toying with the playoff machine is it seems like Baltimore and Buffalo are on a collision course. If KC takes the 1 seed, Baltimore will most likely be the 3. And if KC falls to the 2, Baltimore is most likely the 5.
It's hard to predict what KC's going to look like. Adding Hollywood to the mix, and hopefully a better LT situation, could have a big impact. I think they'll look to involve Hopkins more and increase his snap count. And I expect Mahomes and Kelce to have a different level of focus and intensity than we sometimes see in the regular season. Defensively, I still worry about DB depth. If Watson isn't able to return, I won't feel very comfortable with being tasked to stop Allen or other top QBs.
This is a tired team that needs rest. If they get the bye, and especially if they're able to rest starters in Week 18, I like their chances. If they have to go on the road again with no bye, I won't be nearly as confident.
1 hour ago, Kelly to Allen said:Do you think KC could resign Donovan Smith. I personally think KC should just stick with thuney at tackle. I think he'll settle things down.
I think the plan is to start Humphries at LT. He's dealing with a minor injury but should be good to go soon. Thuney will be the "break glass when needed" option. I don't think they'll allow Morris to take any snaps in the playoffs. Hope not, anyway.
1 hour ago, Kelly to Allen said:Also what is your opinion of Kincaid. Buffalo has tried to model some of their offense with Kelce and KC. Kincaid got lots of Kelce comps which is very high praise. I personally think he'll be more similar to Greg Olsen which is still a great te.
I really hope we can beat you guys this year and win the super bowl. But it's hard to not like mahomes and KC. All trolling aside, I have a lot of respect for KC and the dynasty they built
I wanted KC to draft Kincaid, so I'm pretty high on him. He could be the best TE in the league soon, although Bowers might have something to say about that. -

Hollywood Brown is back. That's gotta be encouraging as a KC fan.
Even i must admit as just a fan of mahomes I hope KC gets some big time wrs next year. He has been kinda screwed with injures at that position and some mismanagement.
I saw Wiley at TE in camp and even he got hurt. He looked promising.
I wonder if KC will go after Higgins this off-season and draft another top wr.
But having worthy and brown on the outside, it should open up the middle for Hopkins, juju and Kelce
On paper, Brown/Hopkins/Worthy/Smith-Schuster is much better than what they had the last few years. But that's assuming that Hollywood is in game shape and up to speed.
It's hard to say what they'll do in the offseason, with Rice potentially missing half the season next year. I'm sure they'll take a look at Higgins if they can afford him.

It’s akin to Allen if he constantly flexed out his hand that’s been in a glove since basically the beginning of the season and who knows what exactly he did to it.
Or if Allen constantly stretched out his arm after partially tearing a ligament in his THROWING SHOULDER.
Ok, yea he flops… cool. So does Pat.
Kansas City fans don’t even realize Allen has played through serious injuries because he minimizes them to the lowest degree possible.
The fact he didn’t miss weeks, if not months, with the UCL is insane.
Both players are competitive and will play through pain. But you're comparing completely different injuries. If Allen had a high ankle sprain, I'm pretty sure he'd have a limp. And not one of you would accuse him of acting.

He is above gimping around. 100%. He’s come away with plenty of injuries and it wasn’t made known until after the game or once he dragged himself to the sideline.
The point you’re initially referencing is Allen and his theatrics. No problem with it personally, a player wants to hit him when he’s giving up and he sells it. That’s the defenders fault. They want to clash helmets and talk smack with him when the play is over? That’s on the defender.
Guess you still believe Chris Jones aiming his leg to Josh’s knee on the “phantom” tripping play is acceptable.
Several times this season alone we’ve seen players punching and hitting Josh that haven’t been penalized or even referenced by the league or its review process.
Can’t blame the guy for selling the acting classes. Patty is just as good so you can’t even go there on that one.
And myself, yes. Twice during my playing years I had a high ankle sprain. Coaches refused to let me play until at least two weeks of healing which meant missing a game. And I’m not worth half a billion dollars.
But to your initial point, if anyone gimps around or plays an act with injuries, it’s Patrick. Absolutely. He’s done it already this in his career.
I'm not sure why you'd respect flopping to draw an undeserved penalty more than limping with a high ankle sprain.
You said your coaches wouldn't let you play for two weeks minimum with the same injury. Yet it's an act to show any signs of pain or hindrance? Did you limp at all after your high ankle sprain?
Seems contradictory to criticize the coaching staff for playing him, while at the same time criticizing the player for showing any visible signs of pain.
This is the same player who tried to re-enter the game after dislocating his knee in Denver. Is it possible that he's a fairly tough player who's highly competitive and willing to play through pain?

Not many people here wish serious injury on anyone, so I’m not sure what you’re on about.
What we do think is that Mahomes is a drama king and yea, we hope he gets hit a lot by the Texans good pass rush.
Seriously injured, nah, not me.. but if he’s out there, he’s fair game.
Didn’t see much in the way of sympathy when Josh Allen had a partially torn UCL two years ago that limited his passing ability for half of the year (into the playoffs)
Oh wait.. maybe that’s because nobody outside Buffalo really knew about it.
Because he doesn’t make sure he’s the story by gimping around.
I've seen Allen create contact with a defender and then throw himself backward like he was hit by a Mack truck. I'm not sure he'd be above "gimping around."
Have you ever had a high ankle sprain?
In any case, I have no idea what there is to criticize in this situation. I doubt that anyone on this board would've walked with no limp after that play. Mahomes leaves the field, tries to return, but they shut him down because they felt they had the game in hand. In postgame, Reid tells the media that he probably would've gone back in if it were a playoff game. After tests, they announce that it's a mild sprain, and Mahomes himself says it's less severe than the last ankle injury and that he plans to play. Then practices in full.
Somehow, opposing fans interpret this as "hyping up" the injury.

They won't, unless the zebras allow your grossly incompetent offensive line to hold like drunken sailors at a slow dance. (They probably will, and then it will still be a close thing.) You're a nervy child of illegitimate parentage to show up on another team's board to consistently chastise your hosts.
I don’t consistently chastise anybody. The number of posters rooting for injury just seems excessive.
The only O-lineman who is grossly incompetent is Wanya Morris, and I don’t expect him to see another snap.

Chiefs fans are tagging Mahomes with this and hoping it’s bulletin board material, but I love it from Settle.
I hope that Texans Defense comes in with bad intentions against this drama queen.
Based on these comments, they just might.
Lot of classy comments here. And you guys knock KC fans? I don’t see any of them wishing injury upon Allen.
I fear for the mental health of Bills Mafia if KC threepeats.

He had a grade 2 high ankle sprain last year and played the very next game.
It’s all drama. He tries so hard to be emulate Jordan and his flu game every season as the playoffs approach.
Mahomes apparently needs to refine his acting skills, since every Bills fan sees through his ruse. Maybe he needs some tutelage from this guy:

KC is hyping up the injury like its serious. Same old poker game.
Except…they’re not hyping it up as serious. No one is, including Mahomes. They’ve called it a mild sprain. Where do you people get this stuff? -
14 hours ago, Success said:
You counting OT in that 13 seconds game, eh?
And I get why you didn't do the stats for the '24 game. Yes - Mahomes was better in '20, when the Bills top 4 receivers all had significant injuries, including a broken leg & an oblique.
Their top two WRs (by far) played and put up 165 yds. They did that with significant injuries?
Besides, Mahomes has played well in back to back postseasons despite crappy WRs AND weak tackles.
Comparing yardage when there’s a huge disparity in passing/rushing attempts, but not when they’re close (13 seconds) is slightly biased.
You really can’t make a great case that Allen outplayed him last year (especially when you factor in the fumble on the last drive) or in 2020.
You can make a case that Allen outplayed him in the 13 seconds game, but since the numbers are so close, I think Mahomes deserves the nod for a few reasons. 1) He was facing the #1 rated defense. 2) KC’s DBs repeatedly blew coverage or fell down, leaving receivers wide open at the worst possible moments.
Allen is playing better than Mahomes right now, but it’s a stretch to say he’s played better in the postseason. We’ll see what happens this year.
14 hours ago, Success said:Your implication that Allen feasts on bad teams and doesn't really show up on the "big stage" was laughable. Sorry 'bout that.
I didn’t imply that he hasn’t played well in the postseason. I was just pointing out that this happens pretty much every year. Fans/media hype the Bills and say they’re unstoppable, largely based on blowing out inferior teams. It’s possible that the Bills’ offense is better than ever right now, but their defense looks to be much worse than usual. We’ll see how it shakes out. -

Allen had more total yards in both games, more big plays, and more TD's. You like appealing to national opinion, and most thought Allen played better the last 2 match-ups in the playoffs.
You can make an argument that it was closer to even - the stats were fairly close, but eye test gives Allen the edge. But no way was Mahomes better in any measurable way. Allen generally outplays in him the regular season games, also.
Your comment about Allen "Then again, he’s always been great at demolishing weak defenses/bad teams in the regular season. We’ll see what he does on the big stage this time" was really off base. Allen has been fantastic in the playoffs, and against good & great teams (i.e. like the Lions on Sunday).
"Most thought." That could mean two of the three pundits you happened to listen to.
Last postseason, Mahomes completed 74% of his passes with a 9.3 average. Allen completed 67% with an average of 4.8. QBR 91.5 vs 66. Allen had fewer passing yds despite 16 more attempts.
In the 13 seconds game, Mahomes totaled 447 yds. Allen had 397 on about the same number of throws/rushes. Both had 4 TDs. Mahomes the higher QBR.
And Mahomes clearly had a better game in the 2020 AFCC.

So... In the same thread it is professed and embraced that Mahomes is not as injured as people think and still able to be highly successful you think he did his best....while barely skating by...which leads me to a question.
Do you and Collinsworth just take turns until one of you gets tired?
Either way... reality and face it: the game where Mahomes outplays Allen will be the first in 4 years.
I hope you've realized that Collinsworth's schtick is hyping every single player that he covers.
And you can easily make the case that Mahomes has outplayed Allen in every playoff game.

He's a big phony, IMO.
Whenever things aren't going well, he all of a sudden starts limping around so he has a built in excuse for why they lose, or look like a hero if they win.
He sees the writing on the wall that the Bills will beat KC in Buffalo or KC in the playoffs, so he is setting up his excuse for when they lose.
“Gee, we’re only 13-1 and leading this game by two TDs. I’d better start limping around to give myself an excuse for this!” -

there is this, too. then kelce after the game talking about how there is only one mahomes and he's a warrior and blablabla kelce is one of the most unlikeable guys in the league. his brother isn't a good person either.
mediocre QB's would struggle in Brady's defense because of the success in this offense is often backyard football. it'd take a certain type of mediocre player - Jameis Winston.
He won a Super bowl on one leg, with poor wr's and tackles, great officials, and a team that shizzed the bed when it mattered....and still almost beat the Chiefs.
I don't care what Mahomes things. I don't care what anyone thinks, honestly. i'm the smartest person in every room.
Do they give trophies for “almost won?”I’ll bet he’s ashamed that he didn’t blow out a much more talented team while injured.

You could put a number of QB's of mediocre talent on that roster and they'd succeed.
Tua, for example, would thrive in that system even with a poor OL.
The Chiefs need to be very concerned about their OL.
exactly. That team can win with Wentz. and they should play him just to show how dominant they are.
LMAOMediocre QBs could probably do fine in Brady’s offense, and with that protection. Mediocre QBs would do nothing with the protection Mahomes has had so far.

Pat is probably sick of the attention Josh is getting, so he hams up an ankle injury just so he can come back and play this week. Just so he can hear pundits mention how he has a superman cape too
He won a SB on one leg, with poor WRs and tackles. I don’t think he cares if pundits have short memories.-

Mahomes week to week, injured ankle

We know that all of Allen’s injuries were legit because…we just know.
Allen might try for the academy award at every opportunity, but only Mahomes would have the audacity to fake or exaggerate an injury. 😆
Caliendo was the highest graded player on the team last week. Not sure they’re substantially weaker inside. And even an average LT is substantially better than an injured Wanya Morris.
