So delay until this Sunday?

Heard him today suggest this. There’s no way they will ever daily a game due to a player injury. That’s a huge can of worms that can never be opened.

He's paid to be outlandish

 

[SmallDaddy]

He just wants to go viral. Clicks are everything nowadays

And we all fell for it. LOL

 

[Avocado33]

Why are people acting like Mahommes even had a small chance of missing this game? That's what I don't get.

Chad Henne in an AFC Champsionship Game? Really?

Concussion protocol is a different animal, and people respond differently. It's not about pain tolerance or risking injury, it's about medical evaluations by medical professionals

I think he recovers and he plays, but I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't

Exactly, I'd be shocked to shit if he plays. The how and the why seems too extreme.

 

[PatsFan1283]

yeah I don't think it is a lock either, some book gives me like 12-1 I'd take it

It isn't about getting shot up w/ a cocktail of painkillers, you gotta clear an independent neurologist. Maybe he can do it, maybe he can't.

Have to have some faith that no one could be this stupid, but on the other hand, Colin probably is.

Ohh gee ya think!!? Fukin clown idiot.

 

[Dr.Love]

Fukin clown idiot.

Haha. Me on Colin? I was just stating the obvious. But not everyone out there can reach the obvious on there own.

 

[Avocado33]

He's already good to go

 

[Dr.Love]

He's already good to go

I'm not sure he had the prototypical concussion. Seems like most of the violence on that hit was to the neck area. Really didn't see his head hit hard at all. Either by the tackler or by the ground. Speculation is he lost consciousness from the grab to the neck and that's what got him all woozy. Whatever happened, he wasn't good enough to go back into that important game when they were only up 5 in the 4th quarter.

Unless he has some lasting effects from this for some odd reason, he should be good to go. I'd say he's 95% playing. Don't forget about the bum foot though. That might be the bigger issue. He can play with that, but if it's as bad as last game, his play should be somewhat effected by it.

 

[SmallDaddy]

yes the toe is that one that concerns me.

Reminds me of the only time he looked like crap when he had a bum ankle versus the Colts in 2019
(true Hill was also out) Mahomes does need his mobility. He runs around quite a bit.

If he is gimpy the Bills ARE the better team
