Special K Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 4 minutes ago, Rock'em Sock'em said: Step 1: Rest and recovery. This one is simple. ... Step 2: Light aerobic activities. The player can participate in things like riding a stationary bike or treadmill. ... Step 3: More aerobic exercise and strength training. ... Step 4: Football specific activities. ... Step 5: Full football activity. An independent neurologist is involved during these steps. The average length of time a player misses is 19 days. But this did not look like a wicked hit to me. We won't really know more until later in the week. I think the fact that the hit didn't look that bad, but he still looked like he had just been punched by Mike Tyson leads me to believe it could be something more serious than it appeared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to clear the protocol, which he could by the rules. I don’t see the NFL keeping their golden boy off of the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunTheBall Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I’m a doc. Absolutely no way Mahomes will be ready to play in 6 days after the spaghetti legs he demonstrated trying to stand up. That’s not a minor concussion when you lose balance and motor function. That being said, I 100% expect Mahomes to play given the NFL will push him through the protocol “independent docs” be damned. I couldn’t care less either way. We can beat this team with or without Mahomes in KC and I hope he does play for the narrative. For his health I hope he sits. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anything you can’t be negative about? Neither Barkley nor Henne had anything to do with the lame offense the Browns mustered with the game on the line. The Browns could have had five more drives with the game on the line and not cashed in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had 1.5 Quarters to get 2TDs. He could not. Epic failure. That and the Andrew Bynum Clown from the First Half! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think myself, along with most Bills fans and NFL fans in general all hope Mahomes will be okay. This could happen to any QB any time. Mahomes has had a huge positive impact on the NFL and the Chiefs, as well as the surrounding states in that area. In South Dakota they Mahomes has made a big positive impact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although some of the holds ala take downs were pretty obvious. I thought they were a bit too eager on the DPIs compared to most crews this year. Almost forgot how much I didn't miss a flag filled game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a game altering brain fart of a rule and it needs to be adressed by the league IMO. AFC Championsip game Muppy !!!! It should have never mattered that he fumbled that ball because the hit was a text book example illegal helmet to helmet hit right in front of the official who HAD to have seen the Cleveland players whiplash move of his neck as he was hit. Just unbelievable how none of these officials called it. Game changing hit and it was clearly illegal! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) They should have blitzed Henne like crazy....and then the defense gets caught napping on 4th down...game over. They were handed a gift...and blew it. Factory of Sadness is open for business starting tomorrow. Edited January 17, 2021 by BTB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 1 hour ago, BFLO said: A concussion is when your brain slams into your skull, your skull slamming into something external is not required, but is common. Watch that play at full speed and watch how fast his head whips down. He's concussed. I was wondering what others thought about the concussion so I dug this up in the game day thread. This is my theory as well. He just had a lot of sudden deceleration of his head which was sufficient to cause the concussion, despite the fact his head never hit the turf. Years ago I had a colleague who mentioned that he had received so many concussions playing hockey as a kid growing up that he could just quickly jerk his head forward and give himself a concussion! True story. I think that's what happened to Mahomes. 11 minutes ago, RichRiderBills said: I don't think I've ever seen somebody get so wobbly from a concussion in a game.

This stuff can be quirky and recovery can vary a lot from incident to incident. The fact that he looked pretty woozy doesn't mean his recovery time will be longer or shorter.
