I'm honestly surprised that they didn't just blitz the shit out of him. Sure...he'd probably beat you a number of times but you'd get to him a bunch too. And it's not like Mahomes could scramble that well.

I said the same thing yesterday. I would have sent a minimum of five rushers every play he stayed in the game. We all saw his accuracy slip two notches after the injury. You're right, his arm talent would have burned them a time or two, but why don't you send the house against a guy that is having problems handing off on stretch plays?

I wanna say yes I agree , but I understand Patrick’s sense of urgency. Despite what people think, these opportunities don’t come along often enough. We’re here. Now. It’s the Playoffs. We GOTTA WIN NOW !

It will limit the possibility of play action being a major feature in the play calling but if you plan to run just do a strong toss instead and save Pat some unnecessary movement.

What will be interesting is the Bills and the Bengals are 2 teams who really sell out for the pass and play soft defense with deep safeties against the Chiefs. It's how they had success. Not sure if they'll play more aggressive if Mahomes can't run or throw deep as well.

Yep, no guarantees on tomorrow of any kind.

To me this is going to come down to Andy Reid scheming up a plan that lets Mahomes play Manning-ball — keep him in the pocket, lean on the run, and take our shots with play action. Yesterday Mahomes started the first drive in the second half without a bad limp but after the run he was noticeably hobbled. We may need to lose that part of his game if he isn’t able to go full strength (which is a likely scenario) and make sure that he’s making throws that don’t require that extra push off his right foot.

Play to what he can comfortably do.

Give him a good game plan.

Hope that everyone around him on offense and defense plays at another level to help him out.

We can absolutely win no matter who we play next week.

P.S. it also won’t surprise me if Mahomes is 100% next week — dude is inhuman.

Again, I will say, this can work TO our advantage.

Such a gameplan would be vastly different from what we've showed throughout the regular season.

Anyone else worried about people trying to stomp his ankle next week?

Because you KNOW they're going to...

I guess I don't understand. Its being reported TODAY it is a high ankle sprain. Why on earth was he not in a boot post game? I thought that is protocol with any significant ankle injury, and ANY high ankle sprains?

Especially with these two teams. Both will be as cheap as they deem fit.

A boot does nothing for a high ankle sprain. It is not a joint injury so limiting the movement of the ankle is not needed.

A proper tape job is all that is necessary.

All I know is that I love Patrick Mahomes and we are all lucky as **** to have him playing for our favorite NFL Team, The Kansas City Chiefs!

This why I’m cheering for the lesser of the two defenses.

Go Buffalo….?

Yep
