wolfpack78 Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 I find it interesting that at this point it has only been Patrick Mahomes that has said he’s cleared the protocol. Nothing from any official source nor the team.
Rico Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 6 hours ago, Like A Mofo said: I gotta tell you I used to subscribe to this line of thinking. I believe we are at the point where CBS would LOVE to have Josh Allen in the Super Bowl as much as Patrick Mahomes. Allen and the Bills have really captured the American football fan this year and are new and fresh to a lot of fans. America loves Josh and America is sick of the Ratface. This is a fact. 2

Or it's a totally reasonable decision based entirely on the medical evidence. No reason to think that's not so. It's possible it isn't true, but this decision doesn't underscore anything, really. I mean we don't even know for sure he ever had a concussion. Could've been a sleeper hold type of thing, as reported. 1
machine gun kelly Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 I’m unclear why this is a surprise. They get a baseline concussion e v a l. Before the year. If a person has a sudden cut off of blood flow or compensated blood flow from one carotid to the other and pinched nerve, it’s very plausible they would look confused, dizzy, and had a gait issue. Once resolved, they would return to normal function. Inigo mentioned in another thread and was right the toe is the bigger issue. I’m not sure if it’s turf toe or another issue, but that can affect his throwing motion, scrambling ability, and although fixable in time, would impede him to a degree Sunday. There is only so much medication you can give to help that problem. It doesn’t matter. It would’ve been a win with an asterick if he didn’t play. We are good enough to beat these guys. The media acts like they are unbeatable. That’s just not true. 1

There are different degrees of how bad a concussion is. Both my daughters had one playing soccer, took 5 and 6 weeks to clear a Dr’s review from baseline testing. The NFL protocol is a joke... Spare me the indignation, Allen was out cold. He cleared the protocol. He played the next week. Also, depending on how old your daughters were at the time, there’s an entity referred to as malignant brain edema, also known as second impact syndrome, that children and adolescents who experience traumatic brain injury are at increased risk for, which may have accounted for the longer delay in medical clearance.

That said, I’m glad he’s better (send 10 on every play on the first drive, his toe is the biggest issue) Do that an the first drive will last one play and end in a Chiefs touchdown

Sure thing Dr😂 19 years old and out 6 weeks, no loss of consciousness, no wobbly feet, just a headache. As I said the NFL protocol is a joke, Josh probably shouldn’t have played either.
Steptide Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 Everytime I see the Mahomes tackle, the more baffled I am by it. Glad he's ok (supposedly) but I can't ever remember seeing something like that on a routine tackle
