I think Gruden is an ass but how does Dan Snyder still stick around? He's much worse than Gruden

I think Mark Davis and the other NFL owners should turn over their cell phones and email servers for the last 20 years for review so that we can make sure that they are worthy of passing judgement.
you sound like someone who has a very guilty conscience.-

Whether it be Jon Gruden or people in this topic… when people tell you who they are - believe them.

His name was thrown out there year after year because he wanted back in the league. No one offered him a job after what happened in Tampa.

Gruden has always been garbage and the players hate the guy. I don’t know why people continue to put him on a pedestal all of these years. He was fired for a reason and no team wanted to hire him for 10 years.
He wasn’t taking a break from coaching. He wasn’t offered another job until the Raiders.
Ask Phil and Chris Sims what they think of Gruden.
He’s also a terrible talent evaluator. He ran some of the worst drafts in history.
I don’t think him not being offered a job is true at all. He was pursued for years and years and years.-

My guess is that one contest the week is plenty. If people want more they will ask for them. I think having too many might suppress the participation.

Allow me to speak for the natural immunity crowd as well...we are the forgotten, judged, singled out, left out, science trusting group that for whatever reason went through hell, yet has zero to show for it other than being treated exactly like the unvaccinated. It's very strange, tbh.
You’re right here. The debate has been framed as vaccinated vs unvaccinated and not immune vs non-immune. We aren’t set up for it yet. To be fair though, the data is still coming in on this. I haven’t seen anything that says you shouldn’t get one dose and have a better response to boot. That will all be sorted out in time.-

Vaccine Card or Negative TestIts that simple.
The vast majority of event centers in this country that have a covid policy, have this one.
Negating the second option leads to justifiable questioning of why only the first.
and yet you spent the day discussing natural immunity with a test. You kept discussing how it’s the safest of all options and then when called out on it regarding practicality, you change your entire assertion. 🤔-

How is asking for, literally, the most common event site covid protocol “extreme or unreasonable”? (Vaccine Card or 72 hour Neg Test)The Bills policy is extreme and unreasonable. Only a handful of places have this policy.
Yes, after 18 months to slow the spread, I’ve become skeptical of all this. You are correct. Somehow they’ve convinced people that it’s everyone else’s fault for the measures they impose on us except those with the power to actually stop the measures they, themselves, are imposing on us.
We’ll never agree on this. I said I’d stop debating this, so I will.
"those with natural immunity". I'm sorry that I read what is written. How do you plan to test people for "natural immunity"? What system is in place to track this? Are $15/hr ticket scanners going to adjudicate what is real and what is not real evidence of natural immunity?
I'm sorry I read what you write. Words mean things.

The safest people who could possibly go to the stadium are those with natural immunity who are testing negative within 72 hours of the event.
They are not allowed in the stadium under the guise of safety.
I believe it’s healthy to question people in power. Then come to the conclusion that I either agree or disagree with them.
When it comes to Erie/Highmark, my conclusion is that this is not about stadium safety, but about community safety. I believe they are using the government levers of power to cudgel people into getting the vaccine or miss out on what they know is a passion of many in the community.
I won’t say anymore on this, but I believe all the evidence and statements I’ve seen regarding this issue point to this conclusion.
I think it’s an abuse of power, but one they are able to legally do.
I would hope they’ll do the right thing and allow those who ask for refunds to be refunded given this new policy.
For everyone else, enjoy the game and hope that eventually none of this overreach comes for things you care about.
You try to sound reasonable, while slipping in unreasonable points.
You ask for unreasonable things and then declare anything else to be disingenuous and lacking any merit. And then you end it with FUD in your proclamation that eventually they’re nefariously coming to get you for something.
If schools do anything other than provide a bulletproof vest for every single person in the school then it’s not about safety…
You can make a horseshit argument with literally everything by taking it to the extreme. It doesn’t mean current policy is rooted in a lack of logic or nefarious action.

Is it too soon to worry about the Bills offense? A Week 2 change could provide a spark
But a slightly bigger snapshot of Daboll’s offense shows a trend to monitor, and with head coach Sean McDermott’s established history of temporarily revoking play-calling duties in hopes of a spark, one might wonder if it’s time for passing-game coordinator Ken Dorsey to get a shot to see what he can do.
No, this is not a plea to fire Daboll just as McDermott’s decision to confiscate defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier’s play card wasn’t permanent in 2018.
McDermott chose to do that in Week 2, by the way, six quarters into the season right after Frazier’s defense dragged the Bills — kicking and screaming — into the playoffs to break a 17-year drought.
...
Going back just to last postseason, against the type of opponents by which Buffalo will be measured, the offense has struggled to find the end zone. McDermott also expressed disappointment in Daboll’s game plans back then.
The Bills averaged 3.6 offensive TDs a game last year and scored three of them in their playoff opener, a 27-24 victory over the Indianapolis Colts.
Since then, the Bills offense has scored four touchdowns over three games. One was enough to beat the Baltimore Ravens in the second round, but McDermott was displeased with Daboll’s approach. The Bills ran three times in the first half, tying an NFL record for fewest attempts in the first half of a playoff game. Only one of those runs was designed and didn’t happen until three minutes before halftime; one was an Allen kneeldown to end the half.
...
Daboll deployed four- or five-receiver formations on 35 snaps, but the Bills averaged 3.4 yards on them.
...
After failing to convert two fourth downs all last year, Buffalo misfired on two of its three attempts Sunday. They happened on the Bills’ first two second-half possessions.
...
More egregious was a fourth-and-1 call from Pittsburgh’s 41 with 13:42 left in the game. Allen threw a backward pass to Breida, whom cornerback Cameron Sutton summarily annihilated for a 7-yard loss.
“That is something that we anticipated,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said of the play. “They got in that formation a bunch, four or five times in the preseason. We figured the next phase of it would be to fake it to the fullback and flip that ball out to them.”
Pittsburgh’s defense played zone coverage 75.9 percent of the time Sunday, extending a trend that has given Buffalo problems.
...
Allen took much punishment. In addition to designed runs and his customary scrambles, he absorbed three sacks and eight quarterback hits (he endured only two games in 2020 with at least that many) despite using play action just 18.4 percent of the time in an effort to get the ball out of Allen’s hands early. Allen fumbled twice.
...
McDermott swiped Frazier’s play card six quarters into 2018, during halftime of a loss to the Chargers, right about the time cornerback Vontae Davis simply left the stadium and retired.
Like a hockey coach hopes to spark his team with a goalie change, the move worked.
The Bills had been outscored 75-9 at that point. The defense responded with three-and-outs on the Chargers’ next three possessions and allowed only a field goal.
A week later, McDermott reinstated Frazier’s oversight against the Minnesota Vikings, the team Frazier used to lead. The Bills were 16.5-point underdogs on the road yet dominated, forcing three turnovers and recording four sacks in a 27-6 laugher.
McDermott gave Frazier the game ball.
...
Dorsey shouldn’t be a threat to Daboll. Increased collaboration can be healthy and provide a spark.
If Daboll ever lands a head coaching gig, then getting Dorsey some live reps would be beneficial for the future.
I would say that’s more than a fair use quotation of the article.-

I'm trying to not get in trouble, but when a poster questions these CDC numbers, it's likely because of recent studies published in WaPo, The Atlantic etc., that state up to half of the covid hospitalization numbers may have been people admitted for reason unrelated to covid, but upon taking the mandatory test, were covid positive.
Just answering your question - don't shoot the messenger.
he literally said it was because of his own experience and not “likely sources“.-

I think these numbers are way off because?
8 members of my immedicate family are fully vaccinated, including myself: Ex-wife (who travels with me for our girls college events), both my girls, my niece (lives with my parents) and both my parents. FOUR of us got it and two of us spread it to another person in our family, 6 weeks apart. I gave it to my ex on our trip to move our youngest in to Ole Miss and my dad gave it to my mother, who is now hospitalized. PS: My father wears a mask during 95% of his working hours... and gloves.
There are way more variables to be considered in an individual's anecdote before the leap to your conclusion is made.

I believe the less likely to be hospitalized stat. I don't believe the other stats... not for a freaking second. CDC's numbers are f'ed up.
You don't believe this because you have personal anecdotal evidence that disproves it?
did you know that if something is supposed to happen 95% of the time, that 1 time out of 20 it doesn't happen?

The unvaccinated could actually dunk on the early vaccinators by getting treated now with a better dosing interval. You can stand up and and say - "See! waiting was the correct choice. I'm better off than you!" You would be right. You would be better off than those of us who did this Jan-April.
Go ahead. Get it done and shove it in everyone's face. Take your victory lap. Just go get vaccinated and move on with life.

If vaccinated people weren't getting Covid, I'd be 100% in agreement with you. The reality is the the vaccination does not stop the spread. Hence the outrage.
You are twisting reality by fudging words. You don't wake up and say today I'll either be hit by a car or I won't - I guess that is 50/50. A larger vaccinated population is getting fewer infections that are less serious. The benefit is unequivocally there.
We are also learning about better dosing intervals to address waning immunity in those what got their shots too close together. Those who waited could actually be BETTER protected now that we have learned that 6-8 weeks is a better dosing interval than 2 weeks by just going to get vaccinate and taking advantage of lessons learned.

I don't read where he said federal, but maybe I missed it. However, would you consider the military arms of the federal government? Do the military require vaccinations? Is this a new requirement?
The point is their is no genpop vaccinate or go to jail mandate. It is a straw man argument, since no one is suggesting that unvaccinated people go to jail for failure to abide by a governmental vaccine mandate.

There is an awful lot of energy being completely wasted by people insisting that they can bet Hofstra will beat Ohio State straight up. It’s a vaccine not heroin. You’ll forget you had it done within a week.

It still is a person choice. Vaccination remains the cost of doing business in a developed society as it has for the past 100 years. You are free to live in Liberia if you object.

Poloncarz also mentioned cases growing up there? I don’t know, im not there, but they’re subsiding down here in FL/GA/SC. Some of the stories have been proven false, like the Oklahoma story about gunshot victims being denied hospital beds due to overcrowding, so I’d caution in believing what you hear re: some of the stories down south. We certainly have had a spike, and the people here (majority) are ok with that in exchange for more freedom. It’s not that way up in NY so different decisions are made.
Sure, a negative test could be wrong but we’re letting in vaxxed people with no testing at all. Neither is full proof, so why just the one?
It is what it is. Seems this board is representative of America. Half love this, half hate it. Probably the most divisive issue I’ve ever seen in my life.
you greatly overstate the number of people who agree with you.-

[Edit] Jon Gruden resigns over controversial emails discovered in WFT investigation

perhaps. But enough has come out regarding that ***** show but I think the fallout is inevitable.
