    Two things that also make me wonder....

    1) where there are false positives in testing, they are also false negatives

    2) assuming test results will be pulled the day before a game, how long before the Patriots have a  “Test Gate” where a rival suddenly has a bunch of false positive showing up when it benefits the Pats... ( this is only half sarcasm) 

     Not necessarily.

     

    For one, they usually error on the side of caution. False positives are because: as even on the CDC website antibodies or virus DNA from common cold can trigger a positive test due to the Common Cold being "a coronavirus," COVID-19 is a combination of coronavirus, sars and I think something else which is what makes it different. However you typically dont randomly get "yes you have traces of something you've never had" just because - unless its literally the lab mixing up a bunch of samples which would still keep the same number of positives vs negative tests... just to the wrong people.

     

    Also if you are testing against a control group, if they get mixed with eachother even slightly.... you arent going to get one suddenly detecting no virus. They would both now be detected as having the virus. If that makes sense

    The Bills front office did a ton of work this year on the WR class and then traded for Stefon Diggs, but that work was not wasted

    Roberts is the returner and a darn good one. I'd rather keep the peace of mind knowing he isn't going to do something stupid out there or commit a key turnover to turn momentum to the other team. I sure hope he stays. Plus I think we were one of the better teams in the league at average drive start position or something like that, and a big part of that is the return game.

    And he is 32 years old

    Because none of our RB had the speed to get around the corner, so the jet sweep was a way to make attacking the outside part of our game.

    I understand why we did it... and jet sweeps are usually WR and not RB’s...I’m just saying if fumbling issues are such a concern for McKenzie why do we keep him around for just gadget plays and not have him work on fumbling KR/PR? We even resigned the guy when trading for Diggs who can do sweeps.

     

    Roberts brought nothing to our offense and is also over 30. I’m not sure why so many think he’s a lock is my main point.

    BUF-HOU Playoff Redux: 2nd Half Kickoff

    No need to kneel

    If a ball gets to the end zone and touches the ground, it’s an automatic touchback. There’s no need for a player to pick it up and kneel, or even catch a ball if it’s headed for the end zone and they don’t intend to return it.

    This is a small time saver, but the goal is to blow a play dead earlier so that unnecessary collisions don’t happen. Under the previous rules, a player could take their time gathering a ball and kneeling while the coverage team and return team blockers still careened toward each other for no reason.

    You have poor reading comprehension if you think this rule is what happened in Bills game. This rule very clearly states if the kick lands in endzone, not caught and then tossed to hit the ground.

    Ill give you Gilmore, he wanted top CB money and had been solid, not great. Def seemed a me first guy. Most of us had a blah opinion of him leaving. But turns out he was great. Best CB in the league, best Defensive Player in the league...thats a biting loss....whatever our feelings or justifications were.

     

    Woods was a team guy and I never recall this attitude you mention. I remember most bemoaning that you do not let team guys with his ethic walk, and few wanted him gone. The top 3 notion is inherently false, as the Bills could have transition tagged him for top 10.  He was productive and steady, but nobody could predict the blow up of that Rams O. We had to draft WRs to replace his loss and give up the farm. We've needed that consistant tough WR for years and neither Watkins or Zay could cut the mustard. As it is now, that 8 million per year was peanuts.

    I recall a bunch of games his final year of him throwing his hands up in frustration and making faces because qb’s weren’t seeing him. 
     

    i like  woods a lot, but just because he was quiet and a willing blocker doesn’t mean he was only “about the team.” The years he was here we had EJ and Tyrod who barely threw to our WR’s.

    Heres a few that pop in my head:

     

    -trading Peters.

    -Not trading up for Big Ben or Rivers in 2004 draft. 

    -TJ Graham over Russell Wilson 2012.

    -trading up for Watkins.

    -Passing on both Mahomes and Watson.

    -Letting Robert Woods walk.

    -Letting Gilmour walk. 

    The last two are super short sighted “letting them walk.” 
     

    Robert Woods was visibly upset on the field with the lack of decent QB play... a team can offer all the money in the world and a player can still say “no.” Robert woods was not going to resign in Buffalo unless we paid him top 3 money. I really like Robert woods and wish we had him, but he isn’t worth top 3 money.

     

    this is similar to Gilmore, who didn’t play very well his first year in NE. A couple years under Belichek helped him progress from a solid corner to a top corner

    “Bigger” doesn’t necessarily mean better though - the OP mentioned brown and brown. Marquise is downright small and he had the biggest day of any wideout in that game yesterday. AJ is about average in height for wideouts, maybe a tick above average. Getting some monstrous WR in here could well help, but I’d rather just go with a great receiver, regardless of height.
     

    And Josh is going to have to learn to help himself one of these years if he wants to be great. 

    I don’t think you understand my origins post at all.... it was simply that josh doesn’t trust his receivers make contested catches, but once a bigger physical WR was in the game, in Duke. He looked to throw to him if people were covered.

     

    im not sure what or why you are trying to battle me on this. It’s not a pro or anti josh post. It’s not a pro or anti Duke post... it was simply an observation on Josh’s comfort level when receivers were blanketed...
