RiotAct Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 ^^^^^^ That was a good article by Chris Trapasso. Like his prediction for the game too I disagree with him on the turning point of the season, though. I’d go either the Zimmer forced fumble or the “Hail Murray”. 1

Wyobills89 Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 I hope this is the week we see an 80 yard bomb connect.

LEBills Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 It’s likely we are going to see a full power Chiefs team in Sunday. One that has some weaknesses but has done an awful lot of winning this year. how do we think the Bills are going to look to get the upper hand. Will they look at some of the three down lineman and one spy like the raiders did with their only loss, especially if Edwards-Helaire is out and the run is not a big concern? Or will we look at some of the tendencies that other teams have exposed to get hits on Mahomes and make them impatient? I know McDermott and Frazier will have a game plan to give us a chance and I can’t wait for a healthy Allen to torch the weakest secondary he has faced in weeks. 1 1

When I was a junior in HS (1980 lol), I suffered a double concussion at basketball practice. I was running full out about to dive for a loose ball when my face smashed into the forehead of someone coming from the other direction (brain smashes into front of skull – concussion #1). They said I was out cold on my feet – incredibly still upright for just a second before I slowly fell backwards like a falling tower and my head smashed on the floor (brain smashes into back of skull – concussion #2). Everyone just stood there totally frozen. After some moments – one of my friends heard a faint choking noise. There was no blood, but my nose was shattered. He got closer and figured out I was choking on something – he turned me on my side and a huge flow of blood just started gushing from my face. The people there said they had never seen so much blood – like a bad movie. Not sure if that is recommended practice, but his quick action might have saved the situation from being much worse. I started to come to in the gym – I was out for minutes. Initially it was a complete fog, wasn’t even sure where I was at the beginning. The one funny thing is as I laid there the single thing that popped in my head was my Mom always said if you get in a medical emergency tell them the name of our family doctor – so I just started repeating “Hassenfratz. Hassenfratz.” over and over. They had no freaking clue wth I was saying or talking about (real concerns of brain damage at that point 😝) In the ambulance I started to regain more consciousness. It was funny because eventually I felt awake, but could not remember simple things. One of the paramedics was actually a very popular senior at my school – and in the ambulance I couldn’t for the life of me think of his name (which I think annoyed him), but I DID remember the name of his gorgeous girlfriend. For some reason I started with “Oh yeah – so-and-so is your girlfriend” and he’s just looking at me – and it started to get weird when I kept talking about her “Yeah, she’s in my typing class” (1980, people) and after a few more comments and seeing the look on his face, even in my altered state I had the presence of mind to STFU. These of course were the days before cell phones – it was Saturday morning and my Mom was out Christmas shopping and my Dad was deer hunting. I got to the hospital and had to wait on a stretcher in a hallway of the emergency room for hours, having to make uncomfortable small talk with my Coach (which might have been the worst part of the whole experience). Not sure how many times I said “You can leave now – I’ll be OK”. Eventually my brother came home from being out somewhere and heard the message on the machine. My Mom had left a note she was shopping at Eastern Hills Mall, so he called them and they paged her (can’t believe we actually used to live without cell phones). I eventually had surgery to reconstruct my nose, pretty sure I also either broke or dislocated my jaw. When I first got in my room I realized my jaw was killing me and I couldn’t open my mouth all the way so I forced it open and CRACK something popped. Never told anyone. Hurt like hell for a while after - more than my nose. Jaw hasn’t been the same since. Some other highlights from the hospital - The first night a Doctor rushed into my room in a tuxedo (coming from a Christmas party), shined a light in my eyes, turned to my Mom and promptly said “One of his pupils is bigger than the other – he could have bleeding in his brain” I’ll never forget the look on my Mother’s face as it turned ghostly white – at that point I was more afraid for her health than mine. Subsequently, after a bunch of tests they concluded one of my pupils is just normally bigger than the other - On the following Monday evening I was returning to my room having left for some test or X-ray. The MNF game was on TV. The guy in the other bed turns to me and says “They killed John Lennon, man!”. Will never forget the sound of sadness/pain in his voice. Anyway – this was a very different time. Never went through any concussion protocol or really any follow-up at all. They gave me some painkillers for headache – I was back at school by the end of the week, and started practicing again right after that (they gave me a mask to wear to protect my nose, but that lasted about 10 minutes). One thing I am pretty sure of – it wasn’t a pinched nerve. A great story although I’m sorry you had to go through that back then. Touching and funny. I can also remember when I first heard about Lennon‘s assassination. But, the story about your pupils being naturally of different sizes in that scenario was funny. The story even had a nice “shaggy dog“ ending. Anyway, it doesn’t sound like a pinched nerve to me, either.😁

He also had a shoulder injury in both that and the KC game the next week. Just Saying. Huh? Josh's concussion was 2019 week 4. Following week vs Titans we won 14-7, Josh threw for 219 yds 2 TD 1 INT 78% completions - not his best game, but far from his worst of 2019

That's true. Bills will prepare for Mahomes all week Imo, if henne plays then they should be more than prepared defensively
Figster Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 Skooby just joined the Chiefs forum. Speaking for Bills fans 1
Golden Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 A medical opinion outside of actually examining Mahomes personally. Pro Footballdoc.com He was on the Chargers medical staff for 14 years. Without getting into long medical terms (though he mentioned those) he offered that Mahomes did not suffer a concussion but it was a hit to a vegas nerve in his neck which can trigger a blackout without severe damage & recovery is very quick. Added, the injury looks more severe than it is. He did also add that the turf toe issue will hinder him but not keep him out of the upcoming Championship game. He was confident Mahomes will be safely cleared after going through Concussion Protocol at the end of the week. Apparently once in the protocol you do not necessarily have to have a concussion (sometimes a players injury may appear to be a concussion so they use the protocol as a safety measure) but must clear all steps to be eligible to play.
Passepartout Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 Come on guys. This is your moment to shine. And in the defense will always win the game. Josh has to be sharp. 1

I like Brett Kollman's stuff, but in this "Chief Concerns" video about 11:30 in where he starts talking about "what happens when you take away those long TDs and make them earn every yard with lengthy methodical drives?...That's not what they do, they don't run 11, 12, 13 play drives..." he lost me and in fact called into question just exactly how much of the Chiefs game film he actually watched. Exhibit A: Chiefs drives from Bills game Now I grant you 13-10 at the half, 26-17 final - that wasn't the blow-out shoot-out that many Chiefs games are, but they certainly showed they could do it.
