Are there QBs still ahead of him who aren't in the HOF? How many HOFers are statistically behind him? Love the Dude, but it's a weird walk you're talkin here!!! -

Current TBD Whipping Boy?
Bill Lewes replied to buffaloboyinATL's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm positive about the Bills, but curmudgeonly about negative threads, so I'd vote for OP ... -
I struggled too - nothing big and figured it out, but same kind of junk - missed the first 5 minutes

I have. You'll have to show me where you found that gem. Read it as it's intended. Don't put words in their mouths -
Bills release their social justice message
Bill Lewes replied to Kirby Jackson's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm saddened by your story - and grateful for cops, firefighters and others, who everyday in their normal lives risk for the rest of us. But, to be clear, most of the moments of this past year that have reignited all this frustration and anger don't really seem to fit into that split-second choice kind of moment - and that's really why folks notice and judge it to be wrong. -
Bills release their social justice message
Bill Lewes replied to Kirby Jackson's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The conversation isn't about individual cops, it's about the structures that we've used for 400 years to separate people into "valuable" and "not really". It's about red-lining, and then how cops are trained and missioned to "protect and serve" those neighborhoods. It's about poverty and disenfranchisement. ... Of course not all cops are bad -- almost all of them are good -- but they system isn't. -

Hey, Thanks! -

or we could look at what happened 19 years ago, and ask why many Americans don't think those cops would run into a burning building for them . . . -
Weather for Sunday 9-13-20 at Game Time
Bill Lewes replied to LB48's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
makes sense - but against the jets, maybe we're better off "passing to set up the run game" - why butt heads with them at their strongest (only strong) point? -
I wonder if the opt-outs are having second thoughts
Bill Lewes replied to Albany,n.y.'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
maybe today -- it would also be interesting to ask this question in a month or so . . . -
TNF: Texans at Chiefs (-9) 8:20 NBC
Bill Lewes replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
They would have preferred that - not up to them, I guess. States making that call. -

Your free speech comes with everyone else's. He just told you to turn off your keyboard. He didn't make you do it. That's how free speech works. You say your piece, other people say theirs. No blood, no foul. -
No worries about Josh but the Interior DL is a concern!
Bill Lewes replied to PUNT750's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I have high hopes (and expectations!) for Josh and the offense, but to stress over our top ranked defense seems like wasting time ... Glad the actual game are starting! -
Thanks!

Akeem King in Buffalo to take physical
Bill Lewes replied to BillsMafi$'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Even if there's no room at the moment, seems like due diligence for this year to have a handle on the viability of LOTS of extra "almost" guys who will be needed to fill in when the inevitable happens. -
That isn't really the complete problem or answer, though. Schools aren't just kids. In every community in this country, you're talking dozens if not hundreds of adults - and their entire social circles - at risk unless you create a safe environment to reopen.

From the Boston Globe opinion piece (to be fair these authors are professors at the Harvard school of public health and, though obvious credible, view the issue though a particular lens): "We are not advocating a return to schools as usual. Schools must aggressively implement proven risk reduction strategies. A layered approach should include rapid testing and contact tracing, physical distancing when possible, mask-wearing with breaks built into the day, frequent hand hygiene, and well-ventilated spaces. Districts should consider adding tents and trailers and converting gyms, cafeteria, and libraries to expand learning spaces. Staggering arrival and dismissal times and prohibiting parents from entering schools will limit one of the highest risks — having large numbers of adults in indoor spaces." Additionally, if you link to the risk reduction strategies you will see a document suggesting exactly what I've been talking about - multiple ideas that are cost or structurally prohibitive that won't receive the necessary funding, community support or professional/political leadership required to implement successfully (please check pg 31 for an example).
