1. I hope more COVID positives aren't soon to follow for the Bills, but looking logically at how this has gone for other teams lately, I fear there will be more.

2. I read recently that the only reason the NFL didn't want to acquiesce to the NFLPA and have daily testing -- even for vaccinated players -- is because it would be too expensive. It's absolutely MIND BOGGLING to me (though sadly not surprising) that the NFL would so readily put money ahead of the safety of its players and the integrity and legitimacy of its games. Sometimes I hate that I'm so addicted to the Bills, because the NFL is an evil, negligent, greedy enterprise that cares nothing for the safety of its players.

3. It looks increasingly like the final quarter of this season and perhaps the playoffs are going to be nothing more than a war of attrition. This is largely avoidable, but because of item number 2, is NOT being avoided. Very disappointing. 

 

Yeah it's tightened it's grip it seems. Can only hope each Bills player/coach etc are following guidelines 100% as best as possible and maybe keep it to a minimum

One reason the browns have had so many is because they are in advanced protocols (along with 6 other teams). They are testing more than all other teams.

This actually isn't the most stupid idea I've ever heard.  It would have the charm of novelty.

 

I'm surprised there's not more innovation and novelty in the game, on this team in particular. For instance, why not line up Tommy Doyle as an extra blocker and have him be an eligible receiver at the goal line? He'd be quite a target at 6'9". And how about a direct snap to the running back on occasion, or a naked bootleg, or blitzing the entire secondary? Onside kicks and fake punts at unexpected times (like when ahead), going for it on 4th down in your own zone, a surprise drop kick. Let Allen call his own plays for a stretch, go no huddle for an entire quarter (not hurry up, just no huddle, so the D can't substitute).

Bills could so lose a low scoring game to Carolina

Yeah, I'm about 99% sure with looking at other teams, leagues and life in general, the Bills will have many more players and coaches test positive.

If Brown plays well at LT I wonder if the Bills try a permanent switch and play Dawkins at RT next season

I can't freakin' keep track.  Who are those 7 teams?

[colin]

sucks for dawkins.

 

if brown shows up for a couple weeks, especially against NE, and plays well, i think dawkins gets moved to RT or G.  Williams has not been great at RT, but if he can handle it like he did last year, Brown, Dawkins, Morse, Mongo, Williams might be our best combination.

 

Big loss right now tho.

Brown can barely play right tackle.  The likelihood of him looking good enough to move him to LT is bwhahahahaha.  No

Well couldn't any team lose a "low scoring" game?

This comment seems a bit harsh.

While he's struggled a few times in recent games, he has looked quite good at RT overall for a rookie -- particularly one drafted in the third round.

I definitely don't think he should move to LT full time, but it won't surprise me if he starts there on Sunday if Dawkins is out. He's listed as the backup LT on the Bills' depth chart.

Yes. I think the point is thinking and saying the Bills might or will lose isn't welcomed. Even if it's backed up with reasonable articulate facts and opinions. Issue is the original poster could have elaborated on why. Then it becomes more credible or at least more easily disputed.
