Well, I was just gonna ask about Drew Brees

woot

I have a feeling Devin Singletary is going to have a big day this week. I'm not expecting the Bills to completely go away from the passing game, but I feel like this will be the first week this year where we really focus on the ground game, especially on the outside (and maybe in the screen game) away from Aaron Donald. I'm expecting 200+ yards rushing this week between the backs and Josh.

Also - it's been mentioned in lots of places, (and maybe here) but with the new IR rules, I would expect them both to be 3 week or shorter type injuries, otherwise they would have been on IR already.

Because the Dolphins game should have been easily winnable without them, and because it would have been rushing them back. I think most people expect the Rams to be a much tougher test. My gut says Edmunds plays this week, but Milano may sit for 1 more week.

True, but this goes both ways

Yeah, I don't know anymore

Is there a coupon code or something? It shows as 99$ on the NFL site.

Because it can take 2 weeks for the disease to show up in a test after exposure. It sure does.

Fixed your post 30 - 50% of the team seems to come down with it. Now instead of only needing to keep 30 men uninfected, think of a football team where it's probably at least 70 (including practice squad, coaches, etc...) and on top of that the sport itself can't be played without close physical contact, where they guys are going to be huffing and puffing all over each other.

California (and specifically LA) opened indoor bars / restaurants and saw a huge spike pretty quickly. In any major metropolitan area I don't think there's a safe way for most indoor businesses until there's a vaccine.

The "something right" they are doing is not be in the United States where the government has completely F'd up the response.

Yeah, political factions, like people who don't want to risk lives for a game.

***** you for reminding me of how he finished our season anyway last year.

Why not, it seems to have been the plan in our trillion dollar country?

I'm pretty sure I've seen this at a Bills game before:

25% chance of one player (in a league of 1700-2000) dying? Not to mention coaches, staff, etc....

Let's see your math hotshot.

Well, there are ~ 1700 players (probably more allowing for injuries, etc...) and I would guess most of them will end up getting it over the course of the season due to the nature of the game. So maybe 50% chance of a player dying from it (not to mention coaches, etc...) Let's say only half the players end up getting it, you're looking at a 25% chance of a death. That's still not something to dismiss as "media panic porn".

~1 in 1000 black men can expect to be killed by police. (It's about 1 in 2000 for white men, which is still too high IMO.) https://www.pnas.org/content/116/34/16793 ~1 in 15000 people can expect to be struck by lightning. Are some (most?) of these killings justifiable in some way? I'm sure that's the case. But the problem is that there is such a culture of cops protecting each other, and no real oversight, so we just don't know. For anyone who is really interested in finding out more about where we currently are, I highly recommend "13th" on Netflix.

Ok, are the coaches, trainers, other staff and refs expendable?
