  1. SC, I think you’re right as why come and report to just opt out. I remember someone reported Star was in contact with the team before the opt out option was official. I’m glad I’ve heard nothing on this board about being disappointed in him or whatever. I would have done the same thing if I had a previous heart condition. He’s the exact guy that should opt out. While I don’t want to know particulars as to privacy, you can speculate if someone tests positive and then we sign someone else for that position that it is serious. I say this as I read about a signage of say a RB after Moss for example tests positive tells me to pray for Moss and his family. I could be wrong, but we have depth at most positions and signing someone else you would think means the team expects the player to be out awhile.
  2. I know there is a lot of concern and valid, but there is also a lot of the sky is falling by some. Both the league and the NFLPA expected this to happen. Since given HIPAA laws prohibit giving the public information people are asking, only they agreed to cite if a player has a positive test result, so we don’t know. It could be a positive test, they have antibodies, has it already, have a mild case, or more serious. The bottom line is we’re not supposed to know. I know I’m healthy, but I don’t want people having access to my medical records. It’s no one’s business, but their own. I don’t wish it, but expect a spike in positive cases during camp, and then the % of players, coaches and staff with anti-bodies will be higher so should go down when they are playing games.
  3. PTR, I don’t see teams scrubbing the season. They will just keep pulling people off the street like we just did to replace Gaines and Star. This will be the busiest season for practice squad players getting pulled up an active spot. I know it might be ugly ball some games, but they are determined to keep playing. Again, it always goes back to $. As an aside, nice avatar. I had a chuckle on that one.
  4. Well, I never hear the Washington team that won the SB in 1988 over the Broncos due to a strike year has an asterick. Every team has the same challenges, and the virus is driving the bus. I’m glad at least any player that doesn’t feel comfortable playing and is willing to delay their paycheck or have to pay back a stipend of they didn’t have a medical reason is very fair.
  5. Hughes wasn’t being correctly in Indy, and Hyde was solid in Green Bay. I do agree they both played their best football in a Bills uni.
  6. Holy crap PTR. THATS 10 plus the three studs who left in free agency, but as ghost said they will be competing for a championship. I actually like the Jets guy more. All my prayers at least three or four teams beat out the Pats for the worst record so they have no chance at Lawrence.
  7. Shaw, I am too. I was hoping for a reclamation year for the guy, but he must have his reasons. If we picked up a CB and a DT, that pretty much replaces the spot, and we’ll see what happens.
  8. Ghost, look up Ice Bowl. He’s a Packers fan through and through. He’s actually love on this board. You know why. He comes here from time to time because he loves the Bills and the fans. Of course every four years he roots for his team and everyone gives him a pass, and even says a lot of nice things about his storied team. You can tell his spirit. Thank you for at least admitting you’re allegiance and no worries posting. If you love the Bills too, come on down. We’d love to have you. As far as the other stuff, ok. We’ll see. As an FYI, it’s a new world for me as the first half of my life I lived in Buffalo, the second half has been in Tampa as you ca; see on my avatar. I’m rooting for the Bucs with Brady who as much as he drove me nuts is probably the best QB ever. He moved on. If you think losing 8 players, and a GOAT of a QB is so easy and Belicheck, who is up there with Paul Brown, Lombardi, Parcells (another guy of you’re briefly), and Shula can be fixed, you’re in the delusional Pats world. Have fun as you lost three starters on defense before the opt out, and now another 8. Not that all are starters, but if you think McD is anything like Wrex, you’re out of you’re mind. Wrex was an abomination for us, but we have a coaching staff and management team that can stand toe to toe with you. Talk at the end of the year.
  9. As to Gaines, I’m sure he had his reasons. Liked him when he played, but can t rely on him as he has such a long injury history. I do wish people would stop with the at least he was paid this year $150 K. If a documented medical reason qualifying he gets $350 k and does not need to pay it back. If a personal reason which is fine, it is a stipend and has to repay it of no conflict to retain him next year. If he has a contract through 2021 and at least which is all of them $, then he loses from his futures contract so it’s like he gets an advance. He’s not getting paid to do not thing of he doesn’t have a medical reason. I agree with that position, and a guy like Star who had a serious coronary issue younger qualifies in the $350 k category.
  10. 3/12, nice to see you. Glad you’re back. Have a great Sunday with the fam.
  11. Ghost, to be clear to give you the benefit of the doubt, you are a diehard Bills fan, hate the Patriots like every other Bills fan and can’t wait to see them flame and burn right? You’re answer will dictate whether you are a Pats or not. At least the Jets did was honest about it. If you’re a real Bills fan, you wouldn’t like the Pats. All of us respect them, but we don’t have to like them like all of those years when they were our whipping boy from 1988-2009. They had a decent team with Parcells, but that was about it.
  12. Yolo, you are officially rain man. Thanks for sharing. Now can we watch jeopardy.
  13. CB, you’re a good dude. Who is a Pats fan trolling here? What is their avatar name? I honestly don’t care, but fun to play with these guys since we are going to sweep them, and Moss is going to run all over Gilmore this year. Get ready for some whip ars Patsies. Was that a good rise CB? Just trying to play along. Couldn’t have done this for the last twenty years, but now I hope 1,000 Pats fans come here especially when they go 6-10 and make excuses about opting out, Brady, free agency, when all teams faced the same challenges. Here’s to the, going 0-10 the next five years and Belicheck buys 30 cats and is a recluse. ?
  14. Wouldn’t you doc?
  15. Limeaid, luv ya bud, but you’re going a little Oliver Stone, JFK on us with the fire alarm as the opposing fans would need to know where we are staying. I’m up for the next conspiracy theory, but if this was the norm, opposing fans would do this for years just to annoy the players trying to get a good nights sleep on Saturday before a game. I can’t remember that story, and only reason I knew the Bills were at a particular Tampa Hotel as I’m friends with a General Manager of a high end Hyatt, and sworn to secrecy. I guess it’s possible, but unlikely. Besides, what are opposing fans going to go find COVID positive patients and tell them to breathe al over the players and by the way get through security. As the great Doc Holiday said in Tombstone, “why Wyatt, my hypocracy only goes so far”. Classic movie.
  16. COVID 20? I don’t know hapless, that newt has a real kick.
  17. That’s funny. I’ll throw another one at you, I love John Harbaugh (if we didn’t have McD, he would be my next choice of a phenomenal coach and their management is excellent), but putting AB on a team with him who is incredibly bright, but animated, fireworks would fly. He would rip his head off metaphorically by week 2 of the season. That’s why LJ is out of his league on this one. Didn’t Russell Wilson advocate for him too, and that went real far with Carroll and Snyder. The difference is Wilson has a lot more juice in Seattle than a third year player who hasn’t even won a playoff game yet. I’m not a Lamar hater as he has unique skills, but the game is going to catch up to him. Besides, what do you think his current WR and TE teammates think of him wanting to get AB? Eye of newt? ?
  18. Guess. Weo, you do bring it on yourself, but I still like ya bud. What did someone else say, a little snarky at times. You also bring a lot of very good points and make some funny jokes at times. Anyway, Weo, Soc, Limeaid, have a good Sunday and a little levity to the board when needed.
  19. I may not like the guy, but Belicheck is up there with Lombardi, Parcells, Paul Brown, etc. as the best coaches in NFL history. I know all the downsides on cheating and so on, but he is a winner all the way back to DC role for the Giants. Having said that, losing 7 players, and an amazing offensive line coach, plus the defensive players that left in free agency (3 of them), it is very difficult to imagine they will have a strong team. I just hope they win enough to not get close to Trevor Lawrence next year. That would be a nightmare. I don’t think they will be that bad to get close to #1, and I don’t see many teams wanting to trade out of their #1 spot for the Pats. I don’t see the Bengals having that good of a year even with Burrow as the rest of the team is just bad. It’s also hard to see the Lions and Jags having good teams.
  20. Yolo, I’m one of the people who misread that article so my apologies and thank you for the clarification. I doubt any starting QB’s will most likely opt out, but anything can happen. I certainly hope Stanford and his family are ok, or better he was just on the contact tracer list.
  21. RayRay, it’s not going to happen, but it’s an optimistic and nice thought. I appreciate the thought you put into the dialogue.
  22. Got you’re back Sarasota. Do you’re own hw.. you think it’s a good idea, go for it. Don’t buy it, you’re call. I appreciate the sentiment and glad you didn’t take it the wrong way as I agree with you on a lot.
  23. Sarasota, you’re northern Tampa neighbor, I don’t see the NBA not as a contact sport and also no pads new helmets if they approve them and so on. I’m only saying the NBA guys have more fluids than just about any sport all over each other, and the MLB guys unless we’re talking Umpires, Catchers, and hitters being even remotely close. Who knows and although I’m in the medical field, not just about anyone really knows everything to protect everyone. Only part I have researched and only bringing up to help my friends here Is there is some work that a cocktail of otc, vitamins c,d, and zinc can help a little in prophylaxis. Now some docs added if we had access like in many parts of the world to otc hydrochloroquine at a very low does meaning 200 mg., twice a week, there are some early promising results in lower incidences. Not a doctor, just work with them for 25 years so I’m not going to proclaim an authority, just do you’re own hw. See if the investment at least in the vitamins might be a good decision for you. Everyone should figure out what’s best for them. Kind of stinks as Hydro has been used as a prophylaxis since the Korean War for malaria. It probably was used more for yellow fever which was a true virus vs, malaria as a parasite infection, and before the funny responses, not yellow fever the attraction to asian women. I know you guys so thought I would get ahead of it. Hope this helps for those want to look into it on their own.
  24. Well Stanford is the 1st top QB opting out. I was wondering if that would happen as guys like Russel Wilson just had a child of I remember correctly. There is probably tremendous behind the scenes pressure for him to play, and he’s such a great competitor, I seriously doubt he would opt out, but heard something interesting from the Houston coach. He said the immediate families oF players if they want to be tested, the team would provide it. It was a direct interview so his words. I didn’t know the NFL was considering doing that for the wives, and kids, but applaud them for doing it.
  25. ND, I’m with you. I loved Mongo Feliciano. He brought a nastiness to this team. The only and I mean only good thing is maybe Ford can get pulled inside to his natural position, and Nsekhe and Williams can handle the right side. I’d start Nsekhe until he gets hurt as when he plays, he plays well. Then Williams can Pop over if his knee holds up. If not, Ford would have to go back to the right side and we place Long as the right Guard. He’s demonstrated his abilities which I was on the side of not cutting him. He is a very good depth players, and can move to Center if Morse gets hurt. Morse is great, but Long played that position well until he banged up his hand at the Jets.
