dollars 2 donuts Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I know I shouldn't be (or maybe I should), but I am honestly more concerned about the weather than Mahomes' health. He is going to play period, but man I would love a break on the conditions it appears we (both) are going to be seeing on Sunday night. This is the only time I've wishe for the earlier game as the temperature and weather are supposed to be quite temperate that day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Coot Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 If Mahomes was a full participant in a non-contact scrimmage, that's an indication he's in stage 4 of the 5 stage concussion protocol. I'm betting he'll play against the Bills. His turf toe may be a bigger issue. Though he limped it did not seem to affect this running or scrambling in the Browns game. Apparently it gets worse after 24 hours or so. Who here has experience with turf toe and can speak to how it might affect Mahomes' game? For example, will it affect his passing footwork?

From what i've seen, they're acting like the Chiefs are a lock while calling bills fans delusional just because we think we have a realistic chance of winning.... Theres some delusion going on for sure. but it aint on this side of the line. The Chiefs are the favorites heading in and rightfully so. But its almost like they havnt watched a single postseason in their lives and the upsets that routinely take place... The Bills are 13-3 for cripes sake. its not like some 10-6 squad that just squeaked into the playoffs is coming to play them. I know right.....I mean even if I was a Chiefs fan, or if the Bills went 15-1 or 16-0 while beating the breaks off teams, I would never overlook any NFL opponent. As you stated, and was the perfect term for it, a "rationale" fan knows any Sunday or game you could easily lose. Especially in the NFL. I would get it a little better if they had the Jets coming to town to play them and it wasn't the playoffs. But to just basically write off and overlook a very strong Bills team in a playoff game no less is silly. Or definitely not "rationale". I have heard a few ppl say the Chiefs fans are pretty decent when attending the game, also it's just the ones on that particular board that are rude, and think they are just unbeatable. I believe @Zerovoltz said even he doesn't do that particular board. Anyways, I certainly hope they are in for a rude awakening Sunday night. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 6 minutes ago, Kenosha2Buffalo said: Gabe Davis 😭😭 I wouldn't have imagined it before the season, but Davis has become a crucial part of our offense. When a play breaks down and Allen rolls out, the two guys he looks for are Diggs and Davis. If Davis is hobbled this game, it will negatively affect our passing game. I'm not saying we can't overcome it, given that we still have Diggs, Brown, Beasley, and McKenzie (and Stills?), but....here's hoping they're just being cautious and Davis is okay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffaloboyinATL Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Hilarious. Keyshawn Johnson just called Josh Allen the flavor of the month implying he is a flash in the pan and won’t keep playing at that level, and Dan Orlovsky about lost his mind. He went off on Keyshawn, and was praising Josh. it is funny to see the analysts who realize how good we are, reacting to the ones who seem to have a bias against the Bills. I have seen it a few times this week already. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any Reid was quoted today as saying "Mahomes took all the snaps" If I am Buffalo, I would run with that as enough. Prep for Mahomes and call it a day. And based on McD's comments about prepping for the system, I don't think this is a huge worry either way. If KC's offense beats us, it won't be because we weren't sure who would play QB. On the same topic, I think the NFL concussion protocol is a joke. If a team physician and/or training staff OK'd a QB to run full practice, classroom, video, etc. work for an entire week, then got declined by an independent neurologist, there should be major consequences for that franchise and the med/training/coaching staff. They have actually put somebody in very real danger for long term issues. Getting hit again isn't the only danger. Even for HS kids, going back to school, reading textbooks, sitting under classroom lights, etc. can be dangerous for long term brain health. Players shouldn't be allowed to play professional football 7 days after seeing stars like we see the QB position do all the time. 2 week minimum for all players should be standard. And that is before you can start practicing. That goes for our own Josh just a season or two ago as well. Hell, none of us could get cleared to go play bar league kick ball 7 days after a concussion, let alone try and not get tackled by the biggest, fastest, and strongest humans on the planet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I read a recent article (in The Athletic I think) about catching up with "The Coach" Chuck Dickerson. If you can find it you should read it. You'd realize that EVEN IN BUFFALO these radio hosts are not talking about things they believe, they are saying things that will create the most controversy and drive listeners/callers. The only place you get folks actually talking about what they believe is on a network that is not dependent upon advertising revenue -- like the Bills' OBL show -- but on that one you have to be cognizant that they won't overly criticize the hand that feeds them either.
