Trust The Process Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Had we beaten the Chiefs without Mahomes the excuse would’ve been “you only beat the Chiefs because Mahomes didn’t play” which is true. I want to earn our respect, and the best way to do that is to go to their house and beat their ass which will silence the haters and non Billievers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4thandGoal Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 He passed all 5 stages of the concussion protocol. josh Allen did it last after Week 4. They are not hiding information- their is no conspiracy! No doctor would want there reputation ruined by clearing someone that is still having any effects 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trust The Process Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Bills D needs to hit Mahomes early in the game just to see how healthy he really is, if he comes up limping even if it’s ever so slightly his mobility will pretty much be a non factor and its tee off time.

Reader Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 He might have cleared it, but we'll see if he is at 100%. The lingering effects and toe might still suggest we hold an advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I have a serious question about clearing the protocol, if anyone knows the answer. I assume the neurologist is supposed to confirm the absence of symptoms before clearing a player. Are all of these checks "fakeable" by the player? In other words, can the player say "no" to all of the "are you having _____ symptom?" questions, and be cleared, or are there objective medical tests that confirm what the player is reporting?

He never hit his head on anything so I have no idea what people think he got concussion from. Seemed pretty obvious from he way his neck was bent that the more likely explanation is that he kind of seemed like he had a sleeper hold put on him in wrestling where it cuts off the blood supply to the brain temporarily.

Greg S Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 If he does have a pinched nerve in the neck/shoulder area I wonder how much that will bother him. I remember Peyton saying that after neck surgery he could never throw a football the way he used to. Granted surgery is a bigger issue than a pinched serve but it can still cause problems for Mahomes especially with a foot/toe injury as well.

Sure looked to me like the tackler pulled the top of his head very quickly into the turf. Whether it actually hit or not, Mahomes' head whipped forward like a car accident. That in itself is plenty of force to cause a concussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie's Dead Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Josh went through the protocol in a week, but he wasn't staggered like Mahomes.

Trust The Process Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 We duped the world into thinking we don’t like to run the football, this Sunday is a perfect opportunity for us to incorporate a legitimate running game into our game plan. Andy Reid will be hell bent on stopping Allen and Diggs and our aerial attack, he’s begging for us to beat his team by running the ball, well if he’s going to give it to us we’ve gotta take it just like Andy Reid gave to us when we was hell bent on containing the Chiefs passing game in Week 6. I’m not implying we should be more run heavy than pass but at least we should need to run the ball 41% of the time which is our season average. One of the biggest reasons why we scored our first TD last week on the first drive of the 2nd half was because we finally ran the football multiple times. The Chiefs D feasts off of making teams one dimensional and forcing turnovers. It’s vital we have a good running game and passing game otherwise it’ll be tough to win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What a Tuel Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Chiefs fans on their site are already taking offense to this thread. They think it means we are afraid of Mahomes. They think the game is a done deal. I have never seen a less humble fan base. FFS you were bad for a long time, almost as long as us with some one and done playoff berths sprinkled in. Have some humility chiefs fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we not at some point need to allow the doctors and medical research have a say? I believe the NFL has caught up with doing the best it can to protect the players. There is and always will be some level of risk playing football. I believe The NFL learned its lesson and will continue to keep player safety involved in all discussions.

Naively, i thought it was more than a charade. When i heard the different levels of the protocol and heard Reid's comments this week i realized, yep this is pretty much a joke. A real honest "players"coach like McDermott would actually consider sitting J Allen if he had a serious concussion issue, not sure most if any other NFL head coaches would. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we win and go on to win the Super Bowl .. nobody is going to be talking about well Lamar got concussed in the 4th quarter, Mahomes was hobbled ... look at the videos of the Super Bowl championship runs .. those things are never mentioned.
