To make it the most fair they should find a way to have the bye weeks happen in like a three week span starting in week 8. Weeks 8, 9 & 10. That way no team is at a big disadvantage late in the season because they've played 8 to 10 games in a row and they're going against a team that's coming off a bye or have only played a couple games in a row after the bye.

But I trust the med staff if they truly think mahomes can go. I still think the Pittsburgh quick turnaround will be way harder than we want to admit

The 2019 one was against the Colts. And tbh I think that one was worse than this latest one too tbh. The good thing is Pat fully recovered in 2019 and we won the superbowl. The 2022 one was still bothering Pat in the offseason all the way into camp cause it was a severe one. A mild one usually takes a week or two to fully recover from from what I gather.

Well, he recovered because he popped his knee which gave his ankles a few weeks to rest. He looked really rough against Indy and Houston in the 4th where you can tell his ankle really bothered him. But no matter… at the very least if we can clinch quickly we can get him the rest that he needs. I’d rather do it on the front end, but we will end up fine this way too.

The one positive is that Steelers are playing twice in 4 days as well.

Chamrri Conner not practicing… seems unlikely that he’ll play Saturday.

Dude dropped like he ate The Guardian's first swing at the George Brett statue.

He's lucky to be alive.

The good thing is they are playing their hated rivals Baltimore on the road. That's gonna be a very physical game indeed. The last time they played the Ravens they lost their next game vs the Browns.

I get that. My concern is more with rehabbing a hurt ankle traveling on the road for a 4 day turnaround. It’s tough enough for bodies to recover, let alone injured parts.

They will get plenty of time to recover after they lock up the #1 seed against the Steelers.

3 games in 10 days against an even harder schedule.

These bionic ankles lived near you?

Wow. The least shocking turn of events ever.

Not gonna lie, I kind of wanted to see the board’s reaction if Wentz had gone out and thrown for 4 touchdowns and connected with Worthy deep a couple times.

Would’ve been some entertaining discourse.
