The statistical deviation in cases resulting in deaths has already occurred. The new cases may result in hospitalizations, but ICU and deaths have deviated and stable and continuing to decrease as 1) younger, less vulnerable populations catch the virus and 2) treatment and therapeutics improve. The "wait two weeks" and "death is a lagging indicator" statements are not as valid as they once were.
I agree that this both points will decrease the effective death rate, but to definitely say that the death rate will not increase with a drastic increase in cases is hopeful at best.

Until the offense can be relied on to win games, or at least score more than 16 points, they shouldn't really be any higher. The problem is that Allen, while great at times, seems to still struggle with consistency, and I think that reflects in the rankings, which I truly don't subscribe to very often anyway.
The Bills have scored more than 16 points in 10 out of 15 games. That's not enough proof?

Even during those lean years we didn't see many lines as lopsided as this one. I believe I read the last time we were 17 point dogs was 2007 against New England. Simply put, spreads like these are not very common in the NFL. This team is pretty special.
That's true. After going back and looking at that season, not many of those games were "blowouts".

You realize most of the drought was under Wilson's reign, right? like that 3-13 season?

That's why there is Sunday NFL Ticket. And when you play your cards right it is not expensive. Sometimes free.
This implies I want to pay for (and can afford) DirectTV to start with, which I do not.

C'mon Albany stations. I regret living in upstate "Jets territory".

So question for everyone in this thread - I already have this guy blocked, but is there a way to block threads posted by him as well? I've clicked on 4-5 already today and it's getting pretty old.

We may have to pay this kid 9mill plus if he keeps this up. Free agent after the season
I'd rather pay that to Gaines than to Gilmore.

Odds of tiebreakers being involved in determining playoffs/seeding is pretty darn close to 100%
So you'd rather be 9-7 and in a tiebreaker scenario (likely winning) for wildcard than 10-6 and in a tiebreaker scenario (likely losing) for seeds 3/4?
-
Well, since both NE and MIA play NFC opponents, losses will actually help their playoff chances because of the tiebreaks
Ummm, no? Losses hurt chances of making playoffs, period. Losses to the NFC just hurt less.

Two of 'em I got here. I have no idea where they are in the forum. Go find 'em. One was done by either Football Outsiders or PFW IIRC. You talk as if you're already aware of them, perhaps some homework besides just biased opinions without any facts whatsoever to sustain them might be a good idea to include instead of challenging me like this.
Seriously tho, you can't look at our drafts since 2010 and figure out for yourself that perhaps they haven't been even average?
Really? I mean really? I've already pointed out at least twice in this brief thread that for four 1st-rounders we have a bust, an injured rookie with no indications as to how good he'll actually be otherwise, and an injury-prone WR with unresolved issues, his biggest to date, heading into the preseason. Does this strike you as anything but in the lower end of how other teams drafted from 2012 thru 2015 using their four 1st-rounders, at least for teams that had all four?
Hell, our 2nd rounders have been better, I've also pointed out how we've gotten almost nothing from our 3rds and later since 2010 when Whaley arrived to head up the Pro Personnel Dept.
This is a waste of time. Go do some research, get your facts lined up, and then PM me and I'll meet you back here to discuss.
Far too many people can't seem to distinguish between facts and opinions.
Wow man, defensive just a little bit? I was asking for sources, not insulting you mother.
Further, I was not challenging you, I was asking for sources so that I could see what you were basing your argument on. I was not arguing the opposite, though apparently you took it that way.
Since you won't (or can't) produce your sources that you claim exist AND are trying to use them to support your argument AND are attacking me for asking, I'll assume that you are basing your facts on nothing, and therefore will be ignoring you.
Links to disprove it?
That's not how making an argument works. You are supposed to back up your stance with facts and references. Making a statement and then daring someone to disprove it is generally a strategy of someone who doesn't have a leg to stand on.
Further, I wasn't making an argument for or against if Whaley has been successful drafting. I welcome references that support either, that is what I call being "informed".
Bills have been one of the best drafting teams the last 5 or so years. Previously they were terrible.

Another study, years 2009-2013 has the Bills 10th.
Yay, an argument with supporting references!

...several objective studies.
Do you have links for any of these?

DraftTek has them at 18
http://www.drafttek.com/2015-NFL-Power-Rankings.asp
I think it'll be 3 losses in the next 4 games. I hope I'm very wrong.
Looks like the 18 ranking was last week's. DraftTek now says #12.

I never post in game threads but....
!@#$.
the.
refs.

I can pretty much guess that Prissy Prisco picked the Bills to win < 5 times last season. And a few of those times they lost. Meaning he never picked a game the Bills won correctly. 0 for 9
Looks like he predicted 6-10: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/writer/pete-prisco/24683167/predicting-every-nfl-game-heres-how-the-season-plays-out. Surprising for Prisco, I expected 4-12 myself. Not sure how he thinks we got worse this season.

Doug Whaley tried very hard to sign Byrd and offered him a significant amount of money.
I see you've taken up your rearguard station and you're already in midseason form!
I think the point here is he didn't overpay for Byrd, which obviously is a personnel decision.
-
whuts so special ubout this guy, hes just u guy, why does someone, a guy- get ull this uttention?, if im a guy and sacked one person, i wouldnt get in the news because of it. Someone tell me whuts so unique ubout this person?
He is the son of Sam.

Retiring. Last show is August 6th.

That's actually illegal in some places.
And was here in this case. The owners are allowed to keep the meat for themselves and that's it if I recall correctly. At least that what was said on the local news, I can't find a source for it now.
Also, it seems like they hired a bunch of idiots to put down the herd: http://wivb.com/2015/04/24/herd-of-buffalo-on-the-move-in-nys-after-swimming-across-hudson-river/

Only way this would make sense is if we get a high draft pick this year.

My fav part was the Bills fan giving the Johnny Football "money" gesture after the fumble
I chuckled at that as well. Obviously the guy in control of the cameras is not a fan of Manziel.

McKelvin literally had his ankle broken by a juke move. crazy, but maybe that's why you don't mess with karma. I like McKelvin and think he adds a lot to the DB core. Some people here hate him. I guess we'll see how it goes now that he's gone but i don't anticipate the DBs being better because he is out. I'm expecting worse play.
I don't think you know what "literally" means

You all are missing the big picture. Forget CJ or Hughes. This team is unstoppable if we can get Garrison Sanborn into space, it's not even up for debate.
What is "out of bounds" in the NFL?
in The Stadium Wall
Posted · Edited by kdub
The ball and player are considered in-bounds as long as the player has not stepped/touched out-of-bounds. If the player is not in contact with the ground when going out of bounds, the line of gain is when the ball passes the plane of OB.
This is true as long as the player is in contact with the ground. However, if the ball was held out of bounds and the player never establishes possession in-bounds (touching the ground) while the ball is past the plane, then it is not TD.
