Hapless Bills Fan

Very doubtful given that everyone tests every week plus whenever they have symptoms Allen Sills has said that 20% of the vaccinated players test negative and return in less than 10 days That means that 80% of them don’t test negative within 10 days The clear implication is, with the NFL testing at least 1x a week, they’re detecting most of the infections - just not necessarily before the infected players have a chance to walk around the clubhouse and “share” for up to 6 days.

What is Dorsey’s record of mediocrity? Maybe it’s coincidence but there’s been a lot of talk about the passing game not being as creative or well-designed this season - less pre-snap motion, rubs, crossers, sweeps Dorsey was given the title “passing game coordinator” before this season. So who knows, but of course one possibility is that promotion and the above observation are related, which would not bode well

You don’t reschedule because of the importance of the game. You reschedule because they’ve got an active outbreak of an contagious disease the NFL went into the season committed to containing. The implication of some stuff from Allen Stills (CMO) is that they’re seeing intra-facility spread now. The idea is to get ahead of it before you infect everyone on both teams.

Interesting. Say more?

Raiders looked pretty damned bad against KC on Sunday You don’t think the Cardinals or the Packers have a chance?

How do you know the bar bimbos he flirts with are idiots? Even astrophysics majors need a night on the town

Chargers WR aren’t helping Herbert out tonight at all Oh, and Aikman actually stepped within striking distance of criticizing a Herbert decision

I cursed when they called that

I think you touched on the answer right there: both Aikman and Bradshaw put “skin in the game” of critiquing Allen. Confirmation Bias is a Thing.

9 play drive with 1 pass. What is this novel concept called “rush game”, and could it be useful to the Bills?

When did Andre Roberts wind up with the Chargers? It's like a blinked and missed it.

Chiefs, after a rocky start, have toughened up on defense. #6 on points. Chargers, after a hot start, have cooled down some. #26 defense on points, though they give up fewer yards (16th) than the Chiefs (24th) Much though it sticks in my craw, I believe that as a Bills fan we ought to be rooting for the Chiefs, to push the Chargers down a bit in the WC standings Pretty sure the...(ulp) Chiefs but I'm far from expert at this playoff seeding business.

You lost me right there.

Has Doug Pederson, Eric Bienemy, and Josh McDaniels ahead of Daboll.

Suuuuuuuuurrrre it would 🙄. Not gonna argue that one here, go run it by a decent epidemiologist. It would cost the NFL significant money is what testing everyone, every day, would do. The NFL is saying to the players "Go back to last year's proven-to-work protocols" - except for that one critical piece that identifies an infected player or staff member and keeps them out of the building in the morning so they don't infect 4 or 6 people if their infection control isn't perfect. Mayfield and the NFLPA are logically right to say you can't remove a key piece of last year's proven-to-work protocols and claim they're still proven-to-work protocols. They may still work, they may not work, but to claim they're the same protocols is illogical.

That was exactly my first thought. I hope he is doing it because it fills a need in his soul, and not because he made poor money decisions.

If they're infected, they can infect other players and coaches. Guys like Ron Rivera, who is immunocompromised because of his cancer treatment, or Bruce Arians who is a 3x cancer survivor, signed up for the season under the premise that the NFL had protocols to prevent intra-facility spread and was committed to that. The time to make a change to the operating principles is NOT 2/3 into the season, IMHO. I think your implied argument is it's not fair to make teams play without players who are asymptomatic and therefore, not at personal health risk (that may or may not be true, but let's hypothesize it is). But putting guys like Arians and Rivera at risk isn't fair to them. He's not wrong

This. The NFL medical staff's argument was that with Delta, testing 1x a week was fine because most players or staff infected with Delta would have symptoms and there were 7x fewer vaccinated than unvaccinated players infected in pre-season with no intra-facility spread. That was Then, This is Now.

When has Josh played this season without doing a remake of "run for your life", either to evade pressure and pass, or to make yards himself?

Baker is right.

That actually is pretty funny

Somehow, this seems more appropriate than "Bye Felicia"
