Average stay in the protocol is 19 days and you rarely see an NFL player getting up wobbling like a fighter that just got KO'd .

Oher was in the protocol for like a year. How many others were in the protocol for months because of previous concussions? This is Mahomes’ first time in the concussion protocol and he’s already progressed far enough through it that he’s practicing tomorrow. He’s playing.

The question of whether he should is easier to me. 

Are you a doctor that has examined Mahomes? Why would you even think about whether he should play or not? None of us have any clue whether he should play.

I hope he does. I'd like to watch him. But, unless the concussion was misdiagnosed (which is possible) he really shouldn't.

Even if it was an actual concussion why is 7 days so unreasonable of a time for him to return? This 19 days keeps getting brought up but it’s a quite misleading stat. What’s the average time in the concussion protocol for first time concussions? My guess is it’s closer to 7 days. And if he’s passing all the tests this early, as has been reported, then he’s already much further along than most players who were in the protocol for longer than 7 days. All signs point to him playing. Of course it’s no guarantee, and it’s possible he could wake up Saturday morning with headaches and dizziness, but based on the info we have so far that seems quite unlikely.

Minimum medical suspension after any KO or TKO loss in the fight game is 45 days. There's a reason for that. There's probably more that we don't know about concussions than that we do. Most fighters don't get up after a KO/TKO wobbling around like a frat boy after a keg stand either.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      Yeah. As a wild card team. Washington won the division at 10-6.

      no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.

      Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
