No, nothing confirmed. Reid sidestepped the question at the press conference today.

So essentially Mahomes got Judo Chopped on the tackle and messed up his nerves? I'm on board.

I know that is a thing. I just hadn't read anywhere that it was suggested that was what happened to Mahomes. Wasn't it confirmed that he had a concussion?

I think I am now a #NerveTruther. No matter how many times you watch the replay, he never really bonks his head forcefully against anything. He just gets his neck wrenched awkwardly, which is consistent with the #NerveTruther thesis.

You can get a concussion without actually hitting your head. Whiplash can cause one.

Nope, he just got hit in the one nerve that makes you go limp.

Looking forward to seeing him play in 6 days!

I'm proud there are so many free thinkers on this blog that aren't afraid to speak the truth

Hey man, I'm all for the nerve theory. I just want to make sure I'm not falling for another conspiracy like the time I believed a bunch of Trumpers stormed the Capitol when it was really Antifa anarchists all along. Boy was that embarrassing!

i was confused at the time because he did not get hit in the head and did not hit his head on the ground. but you can't deny the wobbling so i'm glad they kept him out (easy to say after a win).

For sure how I felt when I watched him I honestly thought the wobbling (at first) was due to his already sort of gimped leg/foot and the replace make it look like he aggravated it, though the look in his eyes kinda tells a different story.

It was seriously hard to see on that play how he hurt is head, neck sure, head, eh...

The old middle school pass out game but with pulling and twisting. Caught him right on the nerve and/or carotid artery.

"There was a chance back in the day that Patrick comes back in [the game],'' Reid said. "You saw him run up the tunnel. By the time he got to that point he was feeling pretty good. But there's a certain protocol you have to follow and that takes it out of the trainer's hand and the player's hand and the doctor's hand.''

they didn't have a choice once he visibly wobbled.

Boots on the ground reporting right there. You won't get this kind of hard hitting journalism on 810

This.

So that rule is good incentive to lay on the ground until you think you'll be able to stand and walk with no wobble.

IPA4Me · « **Reply #18816 on:** January 19, 2021, 02:06:55 PM »

He'd probably been neck braced and carted if he'd laid there.

star seed 7 · « **Reply #18817 on:** January 19, 2021, 02:13:18 PM »

I think you don't really know you're wobbly until you wobble #wobblegate

iirc they consider it a concussion until he clears protocol and disproves the concussion or something like that. but the clams info is much better than schefter's (a complete puss)

SkinnyBenny · « **Reply #18820 on:** January 19, 2021, 08:08:03 PM »

Are the Chiefs obligated to announce if he's cleared the protocol or not? Like, I don't know about NFL rules for stuff like this. Can Andy just LHC Bill Snyder this thing all week long and not say whether or not he'll play, giving the Bills more uncertainty to prepare for?

waks · « **Reply #18821 on:** January 19, 2021, 08:14:48 PM »

I'm pretty sure the NFL requires teams to be pretty forthcoming about injuries.

star seed 7 · « **Reply #18822 on:** January 19, 2021, 08:18:03 PM »

And people would know he if he was at practice

catastrophe · « **Reply #18823 on:** January 19, 2021, 11:37:44 PM »

Practicing doesn’t mean he’s cleared it though!

We can sit here and talk about protocols or we can take clams' Ferrari report and start celebrating our second super bowl victory in a row.
