Poor little fella. If he only knew how far back that statement could go for Bills fans. LoL

Carruci: Bills not pursuing Cam Newton
purple haze replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
No one ever accused Newton of not working hard. His teammates seem to love him. When healthy he is better than most other QBs. No brainer if you have a Tannehill type of QB. Having a big personality or a prickly personality doesn't negate the talent. He does a lot of good on and off the field. We aren't talking about a guy who gets in trouble with the law, so I don't know why it would be a question if all a team had was a bridge QB. -

In your scenario, Beane damn sure would pursue him if he had any common sense. -
True. But, then again, that element has always been here. Social media/technology gives the duncery more immediacy.

NFL to release schedule dates on May 9th
purple haze replied to Mark Vader's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You can listen to Dr. Fauci or Dr. Birx at the daily Presidential briefings or many other doctors/scientists. Eventually it will pass. That's not the question. The question is when. If people stay at home the effects might lessen. If the impact lessens perhaps the time length of the virus shortens. It's simple unless you make it difficult. -
Diggs vs the WR field in the draft
purple haze replied to John from Riverside's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Exactly. Maryland had years of freakish QB injuries. One season a converted LB returned to QB when the 3rd or 4th string QB got injured. And Diggs still made plays. Jeudy or Lamb or Ruggs might be better. The odds are they won't be. Diggs is a top 10-ish WR in the NFL and has yet to be the #1 guy on his team. He impacts all levels of the field and is proven in the NFL. And he's just hitting his prime years. Forget what Beane might have gotten in the draft. We got a stud for basically a 1 and 4 (the 5th and 6th were from a surplus of picks in each round). Just watch Diggs and appreciate. -
Reading the tea leaves and it’s coming up Dugger
purple haze replied to FeelingOnYouboty's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
They would fit into the future. And if drafted, you could assume Beane/McD are not as enamored with Neal as some fans. I like Neal personally, but I'm in with whatever Beane decides to do. He's earned my confidence. -

Of course it will pass eventually. The question is when and what health ramifications there are between now and a vaccine or a treatment option that lessens the chances of illness and/or death for those impacted. The projections are potential worst case scenarios. Even if those don't occur, what is happening is bad in and of itself and precautions should be taken that includes, at this point, social distancing and stay at home measures. That's not hard to understand. Even Trump has gone from "hoax" to a more dire outlook. Why is that? I guess he's taken to watching mainstream media, huh? ? -

Not taking away optimism. I don't have that power. I was responding to a specific comment. I'm also listening to what the doctors are saying. This will not end in a month or so if you listen to them because there are different curves in different states. Why? Because we had no uniformity of response. Some states governors gave stay at home directives others did not. Equipment in the hospitals is lacking as well which is causing healthcare providers to get sick. States aren't on the same timeline. Here in California our peak is thought to be in mid-May, 6 weeks from now. In New York it is the end of April. But those are just peak levels. There will still be cases after the peak. Social distancing seems to be having a good effect. I have no doubt it will stop the worst case scenarios from occurring in individual states. However, the lesser case scenarios, at this point, are still not good and will take time to dissipate. That's if you listen to the doctors. Maybe tonight they have other thoughts/projections. Either way keep your head up. -

The media reports what the medical experts are saying. Stop it. The info is changing daily as more discoveries are made. -

Hopefully these projections turn out to be wrong. I think projections in this instance are based on non-compliance of orders or lack of necessities: PPE, ventilators, manpower due to ill medical staff, which we are seeing. Florida and Georgia still don't have stay at home orders and cases are rising there. Unfortunately, I think folks focus on the projections and it leads them to the wrong thinking. If measures aren't followed and other, government responses don't get better, the worst case scenarios could happen. -

I hear you. This isn't swine flu though. It's a different virus. But people should 1. be aware of the potential and 2. be prepared as much as one can be. How many people have gotten sick and or died from Covid-19 because someone else wanted to be obstinate and do whatever they wanted to do thinking "it's never as bad as they say?" It is bad for those people and their families. And Dr. Fauci just said the virus could come back in the fall. If it doesn't that's awesome, but there should be preparation from the government functions. -
Great article on Dion Dawkins
purple haze replied to Clemfield2622's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The timing of MLJ's article makes me wonder if this extension might happen soon. No FA or draft visits or Pro Day travel so Beane might have time he would not otherwise have had during a normal year. It's just so specific it stood out to me. Not a Milano or Tre article, but Dion. Why now? Seems like there must be something brewing. -

You mean the doctors? Yeah, What do they know. -
That's why most teams wore white at home when they played Dallas. That said, the Bills wore white at home often back in that early-mid 80s time period.

purple haze replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think Clowney isn't signed because teams aren't giving him the years/money he wants. If one team did he would be signed. Don't think it has anything to do with Ngakaoue. All those injuries/missed time are coming back to bite him now. -

He didn't say he was great, he said he turned out good. I would agree considering he came into the league as a QB. Teams in the league agree he's good, if not, he wouldn't keep getting jobs. -
The Iso: Dion Dawkins (The Players Tribune)
purple haze replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You could have said that in the first place rather than take everybody through circles. The prisoners are citizens and should be treated as such. This also helps the C.O.'s who work at the facilities. Can some prisoners be dispersed to less crowded facilities or can temporary facilities be created that would still be under security provisions, etc? Probably. Will that measure be taken? Who knows. Also, not every prisoner in jail are violent or sexual offenders. There are people in jail for drug offenses; possession or distribution. A lot of them. They could be released. All that said, your conspiracy theories should go off the football discussion board. There is an area for you to spin your tales regarding politics or other things. -

Neither is anyone else nor did Dion Dawkins request such in his interview, so what are you talking about? Make it plain.
