billsfan89 Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 Mahomes is 100% playing, but how banged up will he be? A pinched nerve and a foot injury even if both are mild is going to impact him.
Max Fischer Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 If Chiefs say Mahomes is Ok then there are no excuses when they lose.

Brain is foggy for sure—best not change his $400M investments or will this week!! —bet his mind is just rubble today. There is no way to say how well he is doing or will be doing. He clearly had a concussion IMO. So, he could be feeling fine today, wake up tomorrow, and be depressed and dizzy all day long. His symptoms could remain constant, or be sporadic, for months. Or not. I quoted a study done in another post that said the median time out for a QB on the protocol was 7 days, as measured over a 4 year period of time I believe. That's the median, so it means some were shorter but some were much longer than 7 days. Just now, Max Fischer said: If Chiefs say Mahomes is Ok then there are no excuses when they lose. How about the independent neurologist who has to clear Mahomes after the Chiefs say he is OK? How does that figure into your analysis?
whatdrought Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 Just had someone tell me it was reported he wouldn’t play- went to find said report and found nothing. Now I hate that guy. my guess is he was taking about the report from yesterday’s game that he was out the remainder.
CEN-CAL17 Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 I’m telling you, yes the hit brought about an issue. with the amount of pain on his face after hurting his foot, I think the team just thought it was safer to keep him out. He’d be listed in the concussion protocol even though they knew it was minor and there would no mention of his foot..... Anyone here a word about his foot? 1

Rubes Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) Sure, he may have had a pinched nerve, but that's almost certainly not the cause of his unsteadiness after the play. Just my $0.02 (which is less than my hourly rate). Edited January 18, 2021 by Rubes 2

Silvercrw Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 If it is a pinched nerve.. depending on where it is the loss of strength can be devastating. I had one in my neck from weightlifting and lost all power on the right side of my upper body for nearly 6 months and it took years to get it back to where it once was. I could not even lift a peanut bar jar for months... It takes really long for nerves to repair themselves even with the best treatments avail. 1
Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 Credit that DB for executing the quickest ever guillotine choke submission in NFL history 🏆 Mahomes was total Mr McGoo there after the play. Out on his feet. No way he didn’t sustain a concussion, IMO. 1 1

I lost almost complete use of my entire right hand, and totally lost all feeling and motor skills in my middle, ring, and pinky finger. It took months to get it all back. Which was especially frustrating as a righty.
CaliBills Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 Are a lot of you secretly hoping it was a concussion so he might not play because you are scared to play against him? lol 1
hemma Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 I don't think your head needs to strike anything to have your brain slam in the inside of your skull. If you crack a whip, it doesn't need to actually strike an object for the 'crack' to occur.

Mahomes is still in the concussion protocol, they don't put you in that for a pinched nerve, unless you have conclusion symptoms.
JMF2006 Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 He looked like a Weeble Wobbling around. Thats usually not a pinched nerve.

Mahomes is still in the concussion protocol, they don't put you in that for a pinched nerve, unless you have conclusion symptoms. Any dizziness shown like that which occurs from a player during a play will be always considered a concussion and the player will always be placed in such to determine if it was. They can't simply put a player in it, then immediately take him out regardless of the initial diagnosis. You can call it nonsense all you want, but you, and no one on this board, knows if it was an actual concussion or pinch nerve. The only persons that know are mahomes, the doctors treating him, and certain staff members.

This totally normal medical phenomenon can occur with greater frequency in the run up to a championship game. This was a concussion per this sports doctor and anyone saying it wasn't is being disingenuous. I would also point to the fact that Mahomes is STILL in the protocol per the coach https://www.nfl.com/news/chiefs-coach-andy-reid-says-patrick-mahomes-still-in-concussion-protocol Edited January 18, 2021 by ndirish1978 2 1
