I don't know if 1-2 weeks makes any difference from 4-5 weeks once we accept that risk. But if there's any reduction in risk, given our playoff situation, I say you take it. I'd think very differently if we were desperately clinging to playoff hopes.
Should those unfortunate events (as I described them) occur, please drive on, my friend.

From a pure marketing perspective, it would seem reasonable to make his return the Raiders game. It's after the bye week, and the fans would raise the (metaphorical) roof on Arrowhead if he made his return during a home game.
That said, it would be nice if he was able to return earlier at 100 percent.
The Kansas City Chiefs won't put a timeline on Patrick Mahomes' recovery from a dislocated kneecap, but positive news continues to emanate out of K.C.
Chiefs head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder updated the reigning MVP's status Monday, saying Friday's MRI "turned out as good as possible," and noted that Mahomes is "progressing nicely," per Herbie Teope of the Kansas City Star.
The update meshes with Friday's report that there was no significant additional damage to the knee.
Coach Andy Reid acknowledged "it would be a stretch" for Mahomes to play this week and wouldn't suggest a timeframe for a return.
"All these guys are different. I don't think you can put a timeline on it," Reid said.
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported last week that Mahomes is expected to miss at least three games. It's possible the QB could return in Week 11 against the Chargers, or the Chiefs could play the cautious route with a Week 12 bye on the slate.
Until Mahomes is healthy enough to consider a return, it's the Matt Moore show in K.C. [Reply]

Just with the way this has progressed and as positive as it's been I think he's out minimal time.

I'm encouraged too. I'm ecstatic about the news. I just know Mahomes is going to fight like hell to get on the field no matter the consequence. And find it hard to believe more rest isn't going to help quite a bit especially given the ankle injury. I'm sure the trainers will give an aggressive and a safe timeline, and I'd gladly take the safe route knowing our playoff situation.
I don't have a ton of confidence in our D or Matt Moore. But I have a ton of confidence in Andy who has been brilliant with much worse teams playing with mediocre backup QBs. We'll win 1 or 2. The Raiders will lose 1 or 2. If that doesn't happen, THEN you explore taking that aggressive timeline. I just don't see any reason to do it if we start to pull away from the division even in Mahomes' absence. [Reply]
Can we just pleas put mahomes in knee braces on both legs. They aren’t gonna hamper anything.
Hell, if I were to play football again I’d come out in elbow pads, forearm pads, knee braces shin pads, padded gloves on the outside of the hand ect
I remember playing at times not 100% because everytime I made a tackle some ones helmet would hit my shin or when I went to block I’d smash my hand on someone’s helmet.
The one thing I’d lay off of is the over taping of the ankle because the mobility of the ankle prevents some much worse injuries further up the leg. [Reply]
What is the rush? The schedule is tough, the Patriots have a cakewalk and risking additional injury makes no sense. I've been waiting fifty years for another Super Bowl, I'm willing to wait until things are perfect. Patrick needs to be able to move to be who he is; the best QB off script that we have seen. The offensive line isn't very good and even though he may feel fine, he might not BE fine. Ligament and tendon injuries take time to heal. [Reply]

Moore looked fucking awful outside one throw. You’re fooling yourself if you think he’s going to be anything near competent. [Reply]

this isn't true
he looked good on the RPOs and converted a nice third down to Kelce
zinged a nice one over the middle to D-Rob that drew a PI
you can tell he still has his accuracy and smarts, just needs to get into a rhythm [Reply]

More reps in practice will make him look better but I agree he’s going to have a uphill battle....
I really think we will be lucky to win one game in 4 with Patty out.. [Reply]

I have no delusions about Moore. But i still remember Andy Reid carrying a Jeff Garcia led team to the playoffs when he could barely throw the ball 20 yards. He's won lots of games with ty and koy detmer, aj Feely, chase Daniel. Matt Moore is as good as most of those guys. [Reply]

Disagree. The longer he was in, the better and more comfortable he looked. Give this dude time to prepare and he'll be competent. A poor man's Alex Smith if you will, and that might be enough to win 2 of the next 4. [Reply]

Didn't Andy have a shit backup QB start after 10 days when his ood QB went down. They were playing a good team too. They won. Andy can devise a scheme with that much time to maybe, just maybe get Moore to deliver the ball efficiently. But, if the defense doesn't play like they did against Denver, we are going to lose every game. [Reply]
