Big Turk

Schefter tweeeted over an hour ago that everyone made it safely to the Training Center they were departing from and were preparing to leave from the airport. https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1594041622844637186?s=20&t=LMxfnJwZYG23Irh5ZfOdxg

Big loss...he was a good player.

I can relate...not even from an athlete standpoint... I had hip replacement surgery and while the rehab was way easier and faster than for an ACL, I too found myself in a dark place at times. Can only imagine when you have your entire career flash in front of you and you have to deal with all the mental what if's he is playing while he has all that time alone.

Are you assuming anyone else can get to them *in the timeframe they are working with* so they don't have to?

Not really when you hear Hyde talk about how it was an ongoing issue and it just basically was going to happen eventually.

Not enough time to necessarily wait for someone to come bail you out. In normal circumstances yes but this is a pressing time issue and there are only but so many hours in a day. And FYI, you never had 5-6 feet of snow no matter how you want to claim you remember it. The only occurences of that have been in the last 8 years. In Snowvember I 8 years ago I literally came in after the second day out there and sat downs ND didn't move for hours I was so drained.

You think shoveling/snow blowing 5-6+ feet of snow is easy? It's a crazy workout involving muscles you rarely use and in general using muscles in ways they haven't been trained to work repeatedly.

Many injuries? Yeah...neck injuries? Likely going to happen regardless...players lower their helmets all the time and cause force to that area

Last year was the shot for that.

I dunno...I think with neck injuries it's simply a ticking time bomb and it's going to happen regardless.

This has Vontae Davis beat...the man retired because he just sold a Pokemon card for 650K. I guess it's a lot easier than playing football?? OK, Buh-Lock-ay. https://www.instagram.com/p/CkytDIeSOXi/?hl=en https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/nfl-linebacker-retires-selling-rare-151500443.html

Poor wording on my part. Obviously not for the player, never want to see a guy with that type of injury. I was talking purely from a Bills perspective.

I mean I get your point and it seems coming up people switch sides with some regularity(ie, it's not super rare to see a guy go from coaching WRs to LBs or whatever during his early days)... It might simply be to find their "niche" so to speak...everyone likely is "better" at coaching one side of the ball than the other and maybe it takes a while to figure out which side that is.

With a neck injury...ended up working out in the long run...would have been hurt for the stretch run here. https://www.profootballrumors.com/2022/11/commanders-rb-j-d-mckissic-to-miss-rest-of-season

Patricia and Judge

Was Buddy Nix there also?

Wasn't up to them to make the call. The NFL had to do it.

There is no ampunt of planning that can prepare you for that.

LMAO!

Reid also has had about 15+ more years of McDermott like coaching than McDermott has before he got to that point.

Scheduled to depart from Buffalo Airport at 3:30

McD needs to take the players out for cheeseburgers.

Wow...I just was looking at the NWS report...makes sense as it was from 7pm and they had about another 3-4 hours of snow after that

Damn...I was just going by the official NWS report, but that certainly seems possible.

There are 66 inches in OP and scheduled to get another 9+ tonight. Now do you get it? Lake effect forecasts are subject to change DURING the event. A slight change in wind direction or it staying over an area for longer than expected can lead to wildly different amounts of snow.
