Again I don't know about kneecaps specifically, but for ACLs it's frequent that after tearing your ACL on one leg you tear the other one a year later. Happened to Thomas Davis earlier in his career I believe and to other NFL players as well I'm sure. Because I don't know for sure if that's the case here I probably won't factor it. But the argument can be made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlash Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I just don't think I can get on board with projecting in-game knockout injuries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcb1213 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I mean the ankle would limit his mobility this game would be all I'd be judging on it. A 300 lb lineman falling on his knee at the right time and angle has nothing to do with an ankle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't really base my opinion on him not finishing the game. I based it on his ankle being a limiting performance factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Also, that ankle absolutely affected him irl. He still played well because they have a good OL but his mobility was not the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not doctor but having tore my ACL before, I know for a fact that an issue you have anywhere on the lower leg increase your chances of suffering a knee injury. Not sure about the kneecap though. 2. You have 2 OL listed as backups. How many snaps do they see here? 3. Mahomes was injured on a QB sneak. You don't need a big hit to injure yourself Different legs, plus it doesn't matter he didn't re-injure his ankle. 0. But you know why we dress backup o-lineman, you can never predict random inactives. No you can sneeze and get injured, but that doesn't matter in BDL because unless it's a re-aggravated injury it doesn't affect the game. 7 hours ago, Jlash said: Different legs though. +1 to Jlash. 5 hours ago, Jlash said: I just don't think I can get on board with projecting in-game knockout injuries.

rackcs Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I think Anchorage's defense keeps it close but I don't think Cousins has the weapons to keep up with McCaffrey and a still effective Mahomes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlash Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I'm not sure Mahomes ankle effects him as much as everyone else seems to assume here. I think it's a case of seeing him get a different leg injury and reacting to that. And he's coming into this came with a pretty good OL, against a DL that is also good, but more based on a power game than a pure pass rushing attacking stand point, so I don't think Mahomes is under as much duress as suggested. Looking to target Hargreaves as often as possible will also allow Mahomes to continue to work down the field. Jamie Collins has had a predictable resurgence under Bill B, but being asked to follow McCaffery all game long, as heavily as Portland plans to target him is always going to be advantage to the offense. I'm sticking with Portland here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pheltzbahr Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Extremely lucky to have Mahomes playing, but this is it for a while most likely. Anchorage offense reminds me of a flaccid dildo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Rick Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 McCaffery will pick up the slack and allow Portland to pull away 20-14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
