NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION Chiefs @ Broncos game thread - (Updated) Reaction to Mahomes' Injury

[denverpatsfan]

We are all Donks fans tonite. Ugh. I am Andy Reided out. Donks always play this team tough.

Mahomes worse than they let on??

Patrick Mahomes' recurring ankle injury is reportedly a bigger deal than previously thought

Initially reported as a high ankle sprain, so no, doesn’t surprise me at all. What surprises me is the media’s gullibility when Mahomes says he’s “feeling fine” despite having a high ankle sprain.

did Ian send the picks thing for this week? I don't remember picking this week

(Not being combative here) But how do you figure they win? Will it be a shootout and they just outscore the Broncos? Will the Broncos turn it over a bunch? Or do you think somehow in 3 days they managed to fix their run defense?

I think the Donkeys keep the status quo and run it down their throat, keeping a gimpy Mahomes on the sideline. No Watkins, Fischer or Wylie on Offense. No Fuller or Chris Jones on defense and their 3rd CB is questionable.

This could actually get really ugly really fast for KC if they don't win tonight. I don't want to call it a "must win" for them. But if they lose the Next couple of weeks will be must wins they have GB and Minnesota coming in.

Those players will be returning. So their defense will get better. Having Watkins back is a game changer too.

Thanks Chiefstastic. Let us know when you get your FatHead of Patrick Mahomes to put in your room along with your other Chiefs toys.

We'll get to see Duke Dawson in action, hope he gets a pick-6.

Well better is a relative term. They will be better when they return than they will be tonight. But that is still garbage, it just the dumpster won't be on fire.

Picked the chiefs to win but I’m praying for a broncos win. I can’t stand Kelce. They need to punch him in the mouth tonight.

 

[PatsBoy12]

What, no interesting team names for the thread title?

 

[venecol]

I would love to pick Donkeys so I'm not rooting against my own pick, but don't trust Flacco to put up enough points even if Denver's D holds KC down.

 

[NYCPATS4LIFE]

I think the donkeys have a good chance tonight. I’m curious to see if the chiefs will keep passing, passing, passing. They hardly run the ball. That’s a recipe for disaster. Have to be balance.

 

[mosslost]

the ankle is a mess.

My buddy in Denver texted me his guys think they are going to take it. I think they are over confident but it is true that the ankle is worse than they are saying.

Squaws versus the Jackasses.

You’re welcome.

I’ve been saying since Sunday that I think Mahomes is more injured than they are letting on. The short week will not help.

However it could just be a sophomore slump (and yeah I know he’s in his third year but it’s his 2nd as a starter)

I think the chiefs win because they don’t have flacco.

 

[TinhWoodhead]

Tonight we are all Broncos.
On the other hand if they win they will never ever trade Sanders.

unless Sanders intentionally drop a bunch of passes and gets released

 

[RobertWeathers]

Don't know. I opted out of it.

KC defense would make joe flacco look like joe montana.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Can denver run the ball? Kc run d has been garbage.

For me it all depends on Mahomes ankle, he cannot carry them to a win here if its still considerably inhibiting his movement.

 

[mosslost]

Don't know. I opted out of it.

by my results I may want to also
