Mahomes week to week, injured ankle

What's the over-under on how long it takes Paty to start dramatically limping around after a scramble/sack - with subsequent breathless coverage and ad nauseum super close-up shots of his foot the rest of the game (of course then miraculously scrambling for a 1st down late in the game - "What a warrior!").  I say the drama starts his first offensive posession.

I refuse to watch his theatrics, college football playoffs are on at the same time so I have a distraction

Oh wow he's not missing any time?? Who would have guessed?? ...Other than all neutrals who notice his penchant for feigning injury...

Both players are competitive and will play through pain. But you're comparing completely different injuries. If Allen had a high ankle sprain, I'm pretty sure he'd have a limp. And not one of you would accuse him of acting. 

Mahomes has no more of a high ankle sprain than I do.  If he did he would not be practicing much less playing.  He has an ouchy and he maximized for effect his minimal pain because he loves the attention.  I have worse injuries playing a round of golf.  He is a *****.

In my fantasy playoffs I face him this week, he isn't even listed as questionable. I'm hoping the Texans Defense forces him to do a lot of running Saturday.

I'm willing to guess he never even had a high ankle sprain. He hurt his foot and they had to say something to make it sound worse as to why he left the game. We all feel so bad for him and then applaud his strength and will to fight. Blah. Anyone else is out weeks. You can't tell me he's "good to go after a week of practicing".

Many players have played the next game after a high ankle sprain. Sometimes they’re less effective, but many have done it. Unless they were all lying for attention too.

He probably does have a high ankle sprain, although it's probably a grade 1 where it's mild.

 

But he absolutely will be milking this thing out lol.

 

Ill never forget the eagles superbowl- He looks like he can barely walk after a 3 and out, then he scrambles for 10-20 yard runs in a full sprint all game long after lol

This is exactly the game I was thinking about. You're right.

Well I suppose if there are different grades then ok. They make it sound week to week fearing missing games and he missed 0 seconds of a practice. I guess I just never bought into him being hurt. I just seem to remember whenever anyone had a high ankle, they're done for a couple weeks or so.

Roethlisberger once came back in the 2nd half after a high ankle sprain.

I never thought Mahomes would resort to borderline Munchausen behavior.  Pretty sad...

[Thrivefourfive]

He gets folded up like nobody’s business. Lucky him.

Houston is second in the league in sacking the QB.  Mahomes with any lesser degree of mobility than usual will take more hits than usual and his OL still sucks.  Next Wednesday he plays the Steelers who also get after the QB quite a lot.  The week after that he plays Denver who leads the league in sacks and sacked him 4 times and hit him 9 times in their first meeting.  This is all good.

[Playoffs?]

Mahomes loves to limp around and then magically he’s fine again. I forgot the game this season, but he was ‘hurt’ down near the end zone… 2 guys from his medical staff had to literally carry walk him off the field.  You would’ve thought something was broken.  Then he just pops back out there and runs around like it never happened. Dude loves some attention!

 

Meanwhile, Allen quietly gets x-rays after a game where he never showed an injury, steps up to the podium, and says ‘I’m fine.’

Only the LT position has been bad for KC. And Wanya Morris likely won't take another snap this year. The guy they moved to LT (Thuney) literally leads the NFL in pass block win rate. I think the OL problem (going forward) might be a little overstated. 

[TheWei44]

Let's just wait and see how all of this plays out.  For all we know, Mahomes is more hurt than he is letting on to.  And it is of course true that no one should underestimate KC in the playoffs.  That said, the Bills seem very hot and dialed in at the moment and perhaps more so than in years past.  If/when we do play the Chiefs in the playoffs, I expect our D to get after Mahomes and, as surprising as it may seem, Von will be a big part of that pressure.  I like our chances against the Chiefs.

Makes you wonder why they didn't move Thuney sooner... They were signing bums off the street three weeks ago.

I don't know if it's a product of his dysfunctional family but he sure loves to milk this Munchausen behavior.  When Josh gets hurt he just stays in. He doesn't need a Paul Pierce wheelchair.

They weakened the interior in an attempt to strengthen the edge. As far as I know, Thuney has only played OG, so let’s see how this experiment holds up over a longer period. I think if he was fully capable of playing LT at a high level he would’ve requested the position change himself. LTs make far more money than guards.

Exactly. So they are marginally better outside and substantially weaker inside.

Which equals weaker overall. There’s no way that’s sustainable.
