It’s hard to compare on vaccines from history. The modern FDA is very strict and vaccines as well as meds, devices, genomic testing goes through a rigorous process. There are three phases of clinical trials they must go through and everything that happens to subjects is reported even if it has nothing to do with the vaccine. During phase 3 trials the researchers are looking at efficacy and safety of human trials. Once completed, they have a month or so to package the information to submit to the FDA. The FDA reviewers usually take 9-12 months to review the PMA, and typically ask questions. The company then compiled further dats and then submits to the FDA for review. If all questions are answered, and the product is proven to work and safe, it is approved and available for commercial use. Then there is the ramp up of mass production. Lastly, all of this data is submitted to Medicare, Medicaid, all of the commercial insurances for them to review whether they approve for reimbursement like Aetna, Humana, Cigna, the various Blue Cross plans, and so on. Fast tracking still will take At least 8-12 months from submission. I know the process as I was in the clinical side of medicine, but then in management of medical device, biotechnology, and originally specialty pharmaceuticals. People in my industry know all too well the lengthy process. You just can’t speed up this process that much. The FDA is much more strict than European CMARC. The last point is ramping up production takes time, and if socialized medicine countries who buy in mass quantity lay more than the US, there could be delays in commercial availability here. It’s just the way it works. Like it or not, that’s how it works. I hope that helps some who are trying to wrap their arms around what needs to happen. My guess is the earliest we see a vaccine here is next late Spring, but more likely next Summer. Until then, the CDC guidelines is the best we can do with masks, social distancing etc.

Yolo, thank you as always for the feedback. I liken that to in our corporate world where I work in hospitals and I have Type 1 Diabetes considered a high risk patient, would I be paid for sitting at home. No. I would not. I would have to be under the strictest control, and do my best to minimize my risk. I’m not cold hearted and if they want to not work, don’t work. They just shouldn’t be paid to not work as it is not the way of the rest of the world. I want to be clear though, I applaud anyone for them or their family for not working, they shouldn’t be given corporate welfare.

If they want to opt out for whatever reason, I understand. I just don’t see why they should get $150,000, but I did hear they have to pay back a portion of it. They should also not be credited for a year of service, as regular joe’s don’t. In my eyes, it’s simple, play get paid, don’t play (meaning opting not to work), don’t get paid. They shouldn’t be treated any differently then the general public. I respect any player that chooses for health or other reasons not to work.

eball, what are you talking about as it pertains to me? I never, I mean never said I’m not watching football. I said I’m sick of all the other dialogue when I just want to watch and listen to ball. My point was simply, let’s stick to ball. I never said a word about kneeling, not watching football, or anything else. Either ask to understand or get your facts straight. You’re normally a really good poster and like reading you’re posts. Don’t lump me into the above mentioned topics. To make it crystal clear, I’ve heard enough on a football board the social issues, and pandemic posts. Now I am interested in you’re opinions on the Bills, the AFCE, and the NFL as you’re a sharp guy. I just don’t want on this board to hear anymore about things that have nothing to do with the game. I hope that clarifies it.

The social issues and pandemic has been a pain on NFLR. The only show that avoids all that stuff is the MTC guys. They are very good unless it’s one of the doctors they interview like Chow or one of the league docs, and even then their questions are more about how to get to play during the pandemic. I’d love it if they just stuck to football, players, and so on. We are inundated on the pandemic and social issues in every other venue, so a distraction would be appreciated. I wouldn’t do fantasy this year, but it’s you’re guys $.

GG, I was thinking the same thing. Why anyone is looking at mock drafts in July for the next year and we don’t even know our positioning in the draft is nuts. I don’t look at any of this stuff until after free agency, as then we know where is our position, what gaps we’ve filled in FA, and what we may have lost. If you guys are interested in this stuff at this point a year early, enjoy it.

Inigo, I’m with you in that Gase in my opinion is dead man walking. The Jets win 6 games and he gets fired. Douglas then picks his own coach, and they probably convert some of 5ese picks into decent players. Maybe not Jamal Adams kind of talent, but talented none the less.

Well there is almost no way the NFL can legislate small house parties even if they try to do so.

Not sure about the no fun in Buffalo comment as this is for the entire NFL. It’s actually a smart decision to protect the team’s investment meaning the players. The league is trying to get the players to protect themselves from themselves. They can do all that high risk behavior in the off season. They still will most likely be a % who still break these rules. They are risking their wallets though. The only way these rules changes were approved is if the NFLPA agreed with the league in these rule changes.

I didn’t think about Diggs as he was in MN last year, but absolutely. Our Josh Allen went 87. That was surprising. Good for him. He’ll be higher next year. I like Metcalf so happy they voted him into the list. He’s going to be special moving forward.

Hey fallen, no problem we can agree to disagree. Knox and Sweeney are very promising, even though Knox had the most drops in the NFL this year. It was explained and I’ll take him at his word. Both of these guys I expect to be better, but a proven commodity next year like the two I mentioned in Philly. I have no confidence in Kroft having this bounce back year, and Smith was not very good at all. I still say we should have put some of this $ into Hooper before Cleveland scooped him up. If the $ was the same, which team does anyone think he would want to play. The chocolate mess of Cleveland or us who went to the playoffs two of the last three years and ascending. I bet a whole $ Kroft and Smith are gone in 2021. Whether we draft one or we pick one up in free agency, I’m not surprised at all. I believe Sweeney and Knox will improve significantly this year, it is still our weakest position group. It’s nowhere on defense, not the WR’s, RB’s, O Lineman, and I believe in J. Allen. I sincerely hope I’m wrong and you are right that Kroft will have a great year.

Keep us in the loop Yolo like always as I’m not watching for hours. T. White will get on there somewhere. I wonder if Edmunds gets a little love. I’d love to see Hyde or Poyer as well deserving, but not sure how many nationally think the same as us. I don’t see anyone else on offense, and not sure if anyone stands out enough in defense. Bottom line is it’s just a popularity contest.

It’s his body, and his decision of he wants to play and a team wants him. If he is fully functional and the doctors have said he is back to form, then he is an upgrade over Haskins. I’ve always liked Smith as a player. He seemed to be an interesting guy and although a rocky start on a crappy 49ers team back when he started, he played really well for KC, and Washington. He doesn’t throw many picks at all, a good completion %, and is smart enough to know when to throw it away. I’m not a Washington fan, but I like his play.

I don’t why Clowney doesn’t get it over with and sign with TN for $10-11 mil. He’s not going to get anywhere near what he wants, and if he wants to be on a good team, TN is better than a lot of people give them credit. We beat them last year as Marriotta was playing. He may not be great, but Tannehill played better than Marriotta. TN has $24 mil. In cap space and would probably like him at the right price. He’s not worth the garbage he keeps saying he’s worth.

You bet Mat. Between Diggs, Moss, everyone else returning on both sides of the ball, it’s going to be a fun year. I don’t want to hear the crap of success with an asterick. Every team in this league has had the same restrictions so there is no asterick. I don’t think most have this opinion, I’ve just read a couple of comments and just not true. If anything our returning players makes it an advantage. It’s not as if Diggs hasn’t already been in the league so he’ll get up to speed fast. I can’t wait for September.

He’s fine for depth, but I like what I’ve seen in AJ Klein in New Orleans. I don’t remember him as well in Carolina, but we get a lot of games down here for New Orleans given they are in the NFCS and I live in Tampa. Klein is a hard hitter.

The Jets May improve in time, but only if they fire Gase. That tool is the best thing for us in the division. The Pats will fall, and as I mentioned somewhere else, the Fish are the ones to watch. They have a decent coach, if their QB holds up against injury, and all of the new players they brought in this year, they will be competitive in a couple of years. I can see us going 5-1, or maybe even 6-0 this year in the division. We’ll need that record given we face the Seahawks, 49ers, a much improved AZ, the Chiefs, Steelers with Big Ben, TN who made it to the championship beating the Pats, and the Ravens on the road in the playoffs, and I see the Broncos improving this year. That is one helluva schedule so 5-1 is going to be needed to win the division. I’m not saying we can’t beat some of these teams listed above, but we’re not going to beat all of them. We are fortunate almost our entire starting squad on offense and defense is returning. That’s our ace in the hole this year.

That fat slob who never came to camp in shape was a hot mess here. He had promise, but was a lazy ars. To think we could’ve had Aldon Smith, JJ Watt, AJ Green, Julio Jones, Patrick Peterson, and so on. His first two years were fine and made back to back pro bowls, but was a mess afterwards.

I still want football like most here, but I do expect there will be a % of players not making at back in two weeks. They may be able to go to meetings, but may not be cardiovascular wise play for three to four weeks.

I was listening to the End Zone and they basically said this morning based on the $175 mil. Floor, next year Philly will be $75 mil. over the cap. No way they can restructure convert to bonus out of this one. They will have to make some big time cuts. I’ve asked before, but I wonder who might be shaken loose, we would have an interest. Our defense is so solid, I don’t know if there is anyone there at the right cost, but it’s more of what offensive players we might want. Their WR’s are not exactly world beaters, they’d never let go Wentz, so not sure if they had an offensive lineman we could use. We’re probably solid at almost every position except for TEs. Maybe we could go for Zack Ertz, or Dallas Goedert as they are pretty good, and that is one area we could add to the TE squad. Next year, you can expect Kroft and Smith are gone, so one of these guys could help, but then again we also have a deep TE class next year in the draft.

No Doc, it’s 80 as of Friday right when the NFLPA and NFL agreed only 80 due to the numbers. The Movin the Chain guys were interesting and have been right about almost everything a month before the agreement. Kirwan suggested, and I think smart they shuffle the last 10 in and out and when not in the building to house them in a hotel expecting there will be players getting COVID. They also said they keep them in virtual meetings so let’s say 10 are in a hotel M-W, and then another 10 who were in practice flip and go to the hotel TR, F. It’s not a bad idea until they pair down to 53 and select who will be on the practice squad. I believe they were increasing practice squads to 16, and the PA agreed no restrictions on who ca; go on the practice squads, even veterans.

I know Murphy played well at the end of the year, but just don’t see them keeping his salary. They will value extending Milano, and Dawkins more with the $. I was listening to NFLR and with a $175 mil. Floor, that’s basically a $45 mil. hit given it would have normally moved up at least another $10 mil. Under normal conditions. Given that, we only have $20 mil. Or just under in space. Dropping Murphy allows us to get at least these two signed. White will have to wait. We already placed the 5th year option on him for 2021.

Well, TE is our weakest position group, but they are happy with the unit now. I have very high hopes for Knox, and maybe Sweeney could turn out to be something. Kroft and Smith are a waste, but Kroft’s restructure makes it virtually impossible to get rid of him this year. This would have been a good trade. what is interesting is to see what will happen over the next two weeks in trades among the league.

Sorry Yolo, I didn’t read that part so thanks for the clarification.

I’m fine with it if we acquire him, but I’d still want Lorenzo back if he really wants to play. Both could be just situational players that provides experience.
