Unless they thought time could've healed it and just weren't seeing the results they needed to see. I’m sure a lot of players are hesitant to be surgically operated on if time is an option.

I’m guessing this surgery is a follow up procedure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having just undergone my first surgery on 8/1 at the young age of 30 I completely understand if that was the case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 The Chiefs have four games to play before their Week 12 bye week, and an optimistic assessment of Patrick Mahomes‘ knee injury would be that Mahomes could return after the bye, having missed only those four games. But a more optimistic assessment would be that Mahomes can actually return having missed fewer than four games. Albert Breer of SI.com reports that the Chiefs believe Mahomes may be back before the bye. That would mean he plays in Week 11 against the Chargers, one month from today. Mahomes suffered a dislocated kneecap that knocked him out of Thursday night’s game against the Broncos, but he reportedly avoided any ligament damage. The Chiefs may have dodged a bullet. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/10/18/chiefs-think-mahomes-can-return-before-their-week-12-bye/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vikes_Bolts1228 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 You know what pisses me off.... Look at the Patriots schedule in their first six games and this week..... 2-4 w 0-5 w 1-4 w 4-1 w 1-5 w 2-4 w 1-5 tbd but 100% a w 11-28.... Can a team be gifted with an easier schedule to start the season?! Why can't we ever get a schedule/division that easy?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Patriots are handed a first round bye every season because they play in the worst division in football.

The NFL should consider realignment... It will all even out once Brady and Belichick retire. I don’t think realignment is necessary to combat any particilar team at a specific moment. However, I’d be on board with more of a geographical realignment. Just some examples, why the Dolphins in the East? Why not put them in the South and move the Colts to the North and the Ravens to the East. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they tried to keep as many rivalries from the previous alignment as possible. Just think if Miami and Indy were switched though.....all those years of Brady vs. Manning matchups twice a year.

Imagine if the Ravens or Colts were in the same division as the Pats the last twenty years. I’m sure this would be a great rivalry now.

DisplacedViking Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I lived in the Tampa bay area during the NFC Norris years so was able to attend the Vikings games every year there. When they realigned I moved to Michigan so I've been attending Viking road games for 33 years. I have worn a Viking jersey to every single one. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) The Chiefs currently are expected to stand pat at quarterback, making Matt Moore the starter and promoting Kyle Shurmur (son of Giants coach Pat Shurmur) from the practice squad for next Sunday night’s game against the Packers. Kyle Shurmur gets the nod as opposed to a free agent because Shurmur knows the system. Then there’s Chad Henne. He’s eligible to return after Week Eight. So it could be Moore versus the Packers and Moore or Henne against the Vikings. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/10/20/chiefs-plan-to-stand-pat-at-quarterback-for-now/ Edited October 20, 2019 by vike daddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 The Chiefs are in a tough spot. Mahomes should be able to return in a few weeks so it’s difficult bringing in a new QB and having them learn the system in that time frame to be effective. However, the Chiefs aren’t going to win many games with Moore or Henne. Fortunately, the Broncos and Chargers are both awful and the Raiders are simply mediocre. The Chiefs might just be okay. I’d still try and get an upgrade if I were them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
