  1. They may have but it would be prudent if they did for one of the leadership guys to at least say that. Not that he would have to give details just that they are united in the plan going forward so this would end (at least for me). Having a canned reply that Beane, McDermott and all the players can use would slow the medias role in this too. My only concern as a fan is they are still all together in where they stand and if they agree that the protocols are sufficient with them then the only reply should be "next man up" when asked. I do believe they can win it all this year and survive players out with the C-word. The only thing I think really could damage the team is an internal riff. IMO. Edit: I replied to the post. I really said my piece and didn't want to comment more.
  2. Totally agree with that fact. This will be my last time commenting on this. The Bills players are adults and can, on their own, come up with any enhanced procedures if they choose. Waiting for the NFL, NFLPA, Bills Management or anyone else is not their only option. They have that power all on their own. I'm sure McDermott and Beane would welcome that type of response.
  3. Then the players should come out as a group and say that they are fine with players sitting out with Covid and the rules in place are OK.
  4. It seems no one wanted to comment on my point regarding the players to have a "players only" meeting about all of this and how they would like to see thing going forward. If this team is a family and the majority have done their part either by being vaxed or following the protocols (which by themselves may not be enough) they now know what can happen. Any given week a critical part of this team could be sitting at home. They ARE part of a union and as such they should get together in private and come up with a general consensus and report back to Beane and McDermott. Putting all the responsibility on the Bills management is a bit of a cop out. IMO.
  5. I don't envy Beane, McDermott and the organization and how they have to tightrope this whole situation. As for the proposed avenue of having a more self imposed "lock down" that is a tough call. These are men not petulant children and strict actions could cause unwanted consequences. That being said if nothing changes everyone can see what other consequences are possible. Maybe the locker room/team leaders need to determine that it might be time that everyone's voices are heard "in private" within the team. If I was part of that player leadership team I might think it's time for a "players only" meeting to get this talked out in the open amongst the team without management and media. Whatever is decided going forward as long as it doesn't create a permanent riff would be OK with me.
  6. Which is my point. Before they were practically forced to get Cobb Funchess was probably fighting for WR3-4.
  7. Just seen on NFLN that GB WR Devin Funchess was put on IR and out for the season. I remember when Aaron was making them get Cobb. If they didn't they would be in a bigger problem then they are now at WR.
  8. Having a spleen helps your immune system.
  9. Is this going to be the way for the whole season? The Bills are fielding the best team in decades and this is how fans feel. 2 football team will play, one will win. The Bills have a good team.
  10. Is there any indication right now other than Beane is covering all his bases? He needs a few players for this weekend AND he is hedging in case some of these injuries are longer in recovery AND he gets to look at more players possibly being on the PS. Trust Beane and the process is my mantra.
  11. I have noticed he uses all these guys coming and going at this time of year to get a good group of players to start his PS slots.
  12. All the sites still have him at the 307 mark. Don't know anything more than that.
  13. This is just more proof that Brandon Beane is on top of all things concerning the roster. He keeps showing he has Plan A, B and C options going at all times.
  14. I'm starting to lean that the only way Butler stays is if Harry goes to IR. I want to see if Basham takes more snaps at DT in the GB game too.
  15. We will have to see if that is true or not. One possibility is McKenzie being sidelined for the start of the season but some of these new guys who can KR/PR and play some WR can be put on the PS and elevated to the 53 for the week.
  16. Just need Kumerow catching a few touchdowns. Hope they got a camera on Aaron when that happens.
  17. I think Beane and his boys can figure this out and somehow come ahead.
  18. 'member when JAX was going to be a perennial powerhouse team back in 2017. That "obviously" didn't happen.
  19. I agree. Please read my post above yours and "like" it if you want. It's the only way I know of a compromise.
  20. My only interest in all of this is which players are going to be subject to any restrictions and when they are coming off restriction. I'm kind of hoping that info could be put into the locked/pinned Covid Thread. I know the mods would have to do that and I'm not sure they want to. @SDS I just think having a running (normally locked) thread with this info would be helpful to most of us. The rest I can live without.
  21. First step for all these guys is the waiver process tomorrow. Then they all become FAs hoping to get their agents to find them a home on a teams 53. If Adams (and the other Bills cuts) get this far I'm sure most would want to get signed by the Bills PS. The only exceptions would be guys signing on other PSs which are weak in their position on the 53. Last few seasons a whole bunch of the Bills cuts went right onto the PS. I'm hoping that happens again this year!
  22. Giles-Harris and/or Adams on the PS would look pretty good. Giles-Harris has looked pretty good.
  23. LOL. Hart is being kept because he will be playing the entire 2nd half (or more) of Saturdays game. He is cannon fodder.
  24. I agree. My point was he is a worthwhile RB when he needs to be in an emergency situation.
  25. Edit to adjust to the "Duke" news.
