Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 And gentle reminder: This thread is for talking about the actual occurence of Tyler Kroft testing positive for Covid-19, possible effect of missing Kroft on tomorrow's game and the first playoff game, etc. It is not for general discussion of how one contracts covid-19, "shaming" of Kroft for contracting a disease he may have gotten by doing nothing that's prohibited or considered risky, or opining about how the Bills should do something they're prohibited by the league from doing and requiring a "bubble" (see previous post). 1 1
ganesh Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 4 hours ago, CorkScrewHill said: Two things I wonder about: 1) will they stop the needless hand shaking after games .. it is bizarre how they have all these protocols in place but then after the game they are hugging and otherwise getting close to the other team. Simply maddening. 2) will players who already tested positive be exempt from the close contact protocol? I agree. it would be just useful to have the 44 players line up and just walk by the other line
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 I travel a fair amount for work as I'm sure many others here do too. What do you typically do when traveling when you're done with work, go out to eat and drink and do all kinds of other bad stuff. But when you don't travel and are at home you don't do that. My point is when you're home you have many things around the house to keep you busy, not as much when away staying in a hotel so could see players getting in more trouble in a bubble. 1

Good thoughts, bro. Never thought of it from that angle. Honestly, whatever they do, it will have drawbacks. They just have to do the best they can with what they have.

Football is secondary in this situation. This coming from someone who has been to nearly every game since 1990. Unfortunately this is 2021 and a lot of people don't think like that... I honestly think that I am living in an Alternate 1985 where Biff Tannen is in charge of everything. I find it disturbing that a lot of people are more concerned about the availability of a player over the health of them and their family. It's a bad time for humanity but I salute your sentiment. 1 2 1

Buffarukus Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 6 hours ago, CorkScrewHill said: They sweat and slam into 10-15 guys during the game then they go and shake hands and hug 20 additional guys .. the backup quarterback, the TE coach, .... needless close contact. Getting Covid for these young men is not normally going to be a huge issue for their health.. but if they lose two weeks it could sink everything the team has been working toward. I would love one good reason that they should do this .. the answer is that despite your snarky response there is none snarky? its just a fact. they are out there playing a physical game. they are under strict protocols and testing at all points of the day. you can't bubble wrap life. to say you cant even shake a mans hand after a hard fought game. if thats the case they should plexi glass between players cause a defensive guy might sit next to a offensive guy. players that celebrate with teammates after making a great play. dont allow starters to play special teams that puts them more at risk. ect ect. at a certain point you have to trust these guys are doing the best that is humanly possible in a industry that's alot more secure then any other on the planet. allow them to be human beings...that comes with risk regardless of a handshake. thats all im saying.
Doc Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Hopefully no new news means no one else is positive and there were no close contacts. 1
