GB vs Bills SB with the Bills winning!
Quoted from mcluvin:Snow showers and a high in the low 20s. Packers going to the Super Bowl...
Good point , Brady is notorious for playing bad in the snow and cold
Quoted from RWH:One more game between the Bills and a SB ring!!!!
Two actually but who’s counting
Well, we sucked. No sour grapes here, we just got outplayed. Kinda sad when the best play for the Saints was by Jameis Winston. Well, I'll be pulling for the Packers. I don't think the Bucs are in the same category as them.
Quoted from jandrea95:Good point , Brady is notorious for playing bad in the snow and cold
And the rest of the team? It snows in Tennessee, but you wouldn’t think so after watching the Titans play at Lambo.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Two actually but who’s counting
No 1 game beat the Chiefs GB will be a cake walk!
Quoted from RWH:No 1 game beat the Chiefs GB will be a cake walk!
Or... Bills vs Bucs, and the Bills exorcise their demons by beating Brady for the title, and ending his career. Itd be a movie script ending.
Quoted from jandrea95:Pittsburg lost last week though.
Pittsburgh looks like saints compared to the...umm....the Saints.
Quoted from PokerJake:Always a good game when the dirtiest team in the league gets eliminated.
The Patriots were already eliminated.
Holy shit... Running the ball, taking shots downfield, and getting defensive pressure, it's almost like they figured out what they needed to do to win.
Finally, they put together a complete game.

Why does part of your celebration in that scenario come from Brady's retirement-in-defeat? If your Bills win, great, but why dance on Brady's grave, as it were? That's small, bro'.
Besides, Gronk has said he wants to play next season, and I bet he wouldn't say that if he didn't know Brady will be back, too.

Umm, because in a Hollywood ending, the movies arent over until the bad guy is gone forever.
I suppose Buffalo beating the Bucs this year and next year in the sequel would be fine too.
Brees was old for sure, no Hill was another back breaker, and throw on Thomas shouldn't have even been out there.

Unfortunately, you and the bills are not in a Hollywood ending. Take it from Hollywood Vic, bills are done. It’s going to be Chiefs and Bucs with the Chiefs winning the super bowl.
I am absolutely rooting for the Bills and the Bucs. I really wanted to see Brees get another ring, but that didn't happen. Oh, well...
As long as Tom Brady and the Packers don't end up in the Superbowl, I'm good. Tired of the same ol' shit.

I've got bad news for you..
Quoted from vicjw66:Take it from Hollywood Vic, bills are done. It’s going to be Chiefs and Bucs with the Chiefs winning the super bowl.
I didn't think the Chiefs were going to beat the Bills with Mahomes and if he's out with a concussion then it becomes an even longer shot they win. Bills defense looks great and the Chiefs have not quite looked like last years team with most of their wins being very close, they just squeaked by the Browns for a 4 point victory.
Quoted from TheLaw:Brees was old for sure, no Hill was another back breaker, and throw on Thomas shouldn't have even been out there.
Bree's did look old but he's had a fabulous career, felt sorry for him just before the end of the game and right after he was crying over that loss. Can't blame him for wanting to go out on top so badly.
Quoted from nwpinball:As long as Tom Brady and the Packers don't end up in the Superbowl, I'm good. Tired of the same ol' shit.
If I had to make a prediction I would say Tom Brady or the Packers will indeed make it to the Superbowl, but both making it there would be highly unlikely.
Well, looks like I went 2-2 this weekend. Patrick getting hurt didn't help and I didn't realize Hill was out, both of which could have changed the outcomes. Regardless, was a good weekend of football.
Most likely KC vs. GB in the Super Bowl. If Mahomes is still out, which I doubt, then it could be Bills vs. GB.
I generally like Tony Romo, but all of this talk of him being a football Nostradamus cracks me up. I hope there is audio recorded somewhere of his prophecy last night before that pass that locked up the game.
"There isn't going to be a play here, you can tell by their body language that there is no play." As he was finishing that sentence, the pass play was being executed to finish off the Browns..... LOLOL
Quoted from mof:I don't know how I missed this play:
He definitely embellished, but it was also definitely a late hit. You can't touch the QB that late, everyone knows the rule.
Quoted from LOTR_breath:If Mahomes is still out
I'd be surprised if Mahomes knows where he is yet. He was on a different planet with much higher gravity for a while there.
Average concussion protocol in the NFL is 19 days, but i'm sure Roger Goodell will walk Mahomes out on to the field himself.
It’s an interesting test in how seriously they take this.
Mahomes doesn’t look like he should be on a football field anytime soon to me.
He shouldn't play but he will.The protocol will use the "Patrick price" Between the concussion and the turf toe it could be dicey.
It didnt look like a "that's a concussion" hit to me. I heard he got tackled by his neck and got pinched in a way that basically put him out (like an mma chokehold).
Is that better? I don't know. But it doesnt sound like he got a severe concussion.

Yeah I thought I heard Reid say he passed all the tests and that Mahomes even said he was just choked out? But I was getting ready for work this morning when I heard it on nfl network and might not have heard exactly right.
But I'm hoping he'll be good to go so there's a chance for Chiefs/Packers SB still. I lived up there for 6 years as a kid so the Packers are my 2nd team after the Chiefs. Plus it'd be a really fun game to watch with those two QB's
Concussions are instantaneous.His head hit hard.Most of us have probably had one.Not sure how you get choked out in a few seconds.He wants to play.And the Chiefs aren't winning without him.
Quoted from Slugmeister:Concussions are instantaneous.His head hit hard.Most of us have probably had one.Not sure how you get choked out in a few seconds.He wants to play.And the Chiefs aren't winning without him.
Well I can tell you from experience that a proper sleeper hold is almost instant. He very well could have got a concussion I was just saying what I heard. But I do know Reid wouldn't care if it was the superbowl even, if he doesn't get cleared, he won't play. Even then sometimes Reid will hold them out
Quoted from Leechman:Well I can tell you from experience that a proper sleeper hold is almost instant. t
I'm no expert but if it was a "sleeper hold" he'd be asleep, no? Instead of teetering around on jelly legs like he got clocked by Mike Tyson in 1986 while his eyeballs swim around independently?
Cause it was the latter, and it sure looked like a concussion!

You may be right man! But here's to hoping you're not
I'm no doctor for sure but I can tell you I am bias and think he's just fine!
And I will add that when we would "practice" sleepers you do get disoriented and can be out for as little as a split second and not exactly know wtf just happened, lol....but I'm still just trying to convince myself that he'll play... because he has to....or we're screwed!

I watched my sister-in-law's mma dbag boyfriend attack some poor unsuspecting bastard holding her hand at her twin sisters wedding. Just snuck up behind him like a real tough guy, slip, and bam, guy was out and dropped. He fell and hit his head on concrete, and got a subsequent concussion from that.
And congratulations are in order, they're now engaged!!
I really dont know what's up with mahomes, but I'll leave it to the medical experts. I dont believe the idea that there are independent medical professionals that would clear him just because he's the QB of a football team. That's not really how that gig works.

...
Ha I heard Jay Glazier say that garbage and almost with a straight face.
Anyway, 7 days is the norm for to come back from a concussion so he should be on track either way

Andy Reid also said basically the same thing after the game.
Quoted from DudeRegular:Andy Reid also said basically the same thing after the game.
Andy Reid said it so that others would say it. Reporters have no inside information about injuries (and even less during COVID). There's no way it was a neck pinch - otherwise, why didn't they bring Mahomes back in the 4th? - but the league will want him to play. Probably not best for his own health, but what can you do.

Ok Doctor Fezmid I will take your expert opinion on it. If Coach is anything, it is not dishonest.

Be honest - if you weren't a Chiefs fan, and you saw what everyone saw on Sunday, would you say pinched nerve or concussion?
EDIT: And if it was only a pinched nerve, why is he still in concussion protocol?

EDIT2: I guess that's not uncommon afterall, based on this: https://www.kansascity.com/sports/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/article248592450.html
I guess what doesn't make sense to me is such strong feelings over it from folks. You do you man. I will wait and see what happens.

It really is up to people much smarter than us. Still fun to speculate, and I agree with the chock hold theory. Levi mentioned the wobbly legs, which is completely valid, but maybe you are wobbly after getting chocked out? Just a super odd situation because he didnt even hit his head, at least it didnt look like it on my tv.
Who knows, but really hope he plays (assuming he wont cause future harm to himself obviously).

NFL coach dishonest?!?
