As my grandma said, don’t go away mad, just go away.

In the AFC, I’m game for top 3 with the Ravens and Chiefs, and honorable mentions to Pittsburgh and Denver, but over 3 years, huh? Beane has done nothing but make this team better with each year. Lots of competition on the NFC side, but does that really matter. You can make a good argument on TN, as they have a good team, and RT might repeat for a good season.

Wegmans would never waste that $. They are a private, very lucrative company that is only going to spend $ if it gave them an ROI. Naming rights don’t do that. Yolo was more on point with a monster like Amazon. Make another playoff slot, and make it deeper and the monster companies will come for small market Buffalo.

No one will have fans within 4 weeks. I bet a plug nickel on it.

And poke all, how about referees, coaches, trainers, and on and on who are over 55? I’m not saying we don’t have a season, but stop with the everything is fine thing. It’s not fine. If you didn’t infer this point, I apologize. The one thing is yes, more people at risk are likely targets, but players well like O Lineman who have some BMI’s over 30 and high BP are at risk. With that said, the regular Joe also faces risk so it’s their call. Work, get paid, don’t work, don’t get paid. Pretty damn simple. No corporate welfare, and if they choose to practice and play, just be freakin smart ( using my previous example, unlike young guys at my gym and gals who don’t even come close to practicing social distancing or masks ) and have you’re family and you practice the CDC guidelines. I’m one of the only guys at my gym that wears gloves. A number of people wear masks, but given the sweat, mist from you’re breath, etc., just be careful. No problem about living you’re life, just be smart. If players are really smart about their safety, they would wear these new masks, Id wear underarmour shirts to keep sweat off me, and all of the other things we know. The league should have extra time between plays to let young guys run out and let players towel off with sanitized towels, and so on. Have a season, but everyone do everything they can to be safe. If players are worried about health issues, get you’re groceries delivered, and don’t unnecessarily go in public or parties. Of course, they will do none of that and want to be paid to do nothing. I absolutely love football, but give me a break on both sides of ownership and players with the hypocracy.

Good job MR8. Well written. It’s almost optimistic for March. People who don’t know anything about medicine and the FDA are writing inaccurate points, but I guess par for the course. Between completing a phase 3 trial, packaging the date which takes 4-6 weeks, go;g through a PMA, waiting for the reviewers questions, answering hopefully successfully, then mas producing a vaccine to inoculate an entire country that wants to take it, is going to be a huge undertaking. This is the reason why we may not even have full stadiums in 2021. Forget 2020 as that is done. Holding onto that pipe dream is ridiculous.

So Dallas, Indy, Philly, New England are all better than Buffalo. I have nothing against any of them, but Indy has done nothing, New England has an unproven QB and a guy trying to come back after multiple injuries and oh BTW had the same or worse completion % to ours, but for 6 of 9 years. Philly, ok I guess, but Wentz gets hurt a lot, and Dallas, well it’s Dallas. Honestly, I don’t care as Illsay what I always say, we’ll see after the games are played. Allen should not have been ranked that low, and the draft definitely was not subpar. What the hell did they want? Diggs was our 1st round pick, Moss will be good, Epenesa will grow into our next Hansen, and I really believe Davis is going to be a nice addition.

I laughed when read the comment the same people who are whining about safety, are the same people who haven’t worn masks, socially distanced, went to parties and so on. I’ve said a bunch of times, young people (and I’m not old, just not young and dumb) are making this situation worse. I want to believe my kids are smart about this stuff, but I can’t watch them all the time. Anyway, I sound like my father with “those damn kids routine”, but in this situation it fits.

No argument at all, as long as they don’t get paid like the rest of America. I don’t disagree with you. Don’t work, don’t get paid. Work and get paid. We’re not a socialist state.

Well said Doc, and even Quest can get a result in one day as reported for what they call Priority One patients, whether that is a healthcare worker at risk or an at risk patient. Im not purporting for a bubble, but it is possible if wanted bad enough by all sides.

it’s not unrealistic. Before the rookie accuses me of not making $, by some standards I’ve done very well the last 20 years in management, but if I can work, but need to be in a bubble to do it and at bare minimum I make $450,000 (I think that is the minimum for salaries) upwards of many millions, Id do it. Soldiers get deployed, undersea welders make a handsome living in dangerous conditions, but they can work like an NFL player 7 months on a rig, before coming home to their families and not working for 5. It’s not unthinkable, it’s just these players, not all want $, but they want the luxury of not working. It, meaning the world doesn’t work that way. Work, get paid, don’t work, don’t get paid. Pretty damn simple to me. I absolutely want players and everyone else to make a decision. Either one is fine with me, but you don’t get to have you’re cake and eat it too as my mom used to say. Never really understood that old phrase, but you guys get it.

Doc, you have one warped sense of humor (I love BTW). The people I most worry about who still will be working are the trainers, weight training coaches, assistants, other older employees, and yes, the O Lineman who some have very high BMI’s. As much as I hate the Darth Vader of the NFL, Belicheck and Carroll who I don’t mind when he’s not talking with gum in his mouth are both in their late 60’s. These are the guys who are definitely at risk. How many assistants are older than 65?

I knew this would be a thread soon, but that was fast. I was driving this morning first to church, then the gym so listening as always to NFLR. Vic and Alex were on and they discussed these exact points. Vic astutely made the point this is about media posturing over a negotiations. Alex said, how is it they are so worried about their health and the same athletes are balking about wearing a new version of a helmet designed to help keep them safe. Of course they still want to get paid. Bottom line is they are setting things up for grievances if they don’t play or show up for training camp, etc. It was said by a couple of you is don’t work, don’t get paid. I’m sorry if I don’t feel bad for a $100,000,000 like JJ Watt complaining when I have a lot of friends laid off or working in some sales position making 50% of what they normally make because the economy is in the tank. I have little if any sympathy for these guys. Go to work or don’t get paid. Living i. FL you guys may know our grocery store chain, Publix. Well, these workers are risking their health for $10-12/hr., but they do it because they need the $. Those are the people who get my sympathy and I pray for them and anyone else having to work in an essential job facing the public for not a lot of $. I’d like to think I’m a nice guy so I talk to the workers when possible, and a # of them had professional jobs, but was laid off so they took what they can get at this time. Oh, and I do feel for the majority of players that might not either keep or secure a job because they didn’t get to play a pre-season game, or the impending salary cap reduction causes players as one scenario who are in their 5th or 6th year and for cost cutting purposes lose out.

Hapless, it can be taught, but my concern is usually you have to drill it into a kid when he’s young so it becomes like a reflex. He’ll have to really work on it, and coaches will need to drill it out of him not to think ahead, and just catch the damn ball. It can be done, but it’s not easy when someone is making this kind of pop Warner mistake at age 22 I assume. The kids trying too hard. It’s better to accept a 7 yard pass and get dropped by the defense, than try for the homerun and end up dropping the pass.

At least we can agree he’s an idiot. You’re right Weo, it’s his fathers problem and really himself. He’ll be back out of the league soon enough. Bad decisions and really just not that good.

I only fly up for one or maybe two games a year so on TV it’s not as easy to see Knox up close like when you are at a game. Having said that, my assumption is just what he said. I used to play, but also coached youth football for years both in flag and tackle. It’s one of the first things we teach kids is doesn’t matter what you do with the ball, it’s catching it first. I drilled it into my two sons and eventually they both were excellent WRs. I swear I must have said the same thing to them thousands of times. It’s almost surprising Knox didn’t remember what he was taught as a youngster. It was pretty cool he owned it and was willing to even share when interviewed. A lot of players would not acknowledge that kind of mistake.

Thought you’d like that Ridge. It was too easy. On a serious note, thanks Thurmon as that was an interesting article and I love chess. Makes sense to teach speed chess. I was never that good to do speed chess, but the parallels makes a great deal of sense.

Ridgeway, you and Sheldon playing three dimensional chess again in Star Trek garb? Loved the Big Bang Theory, especially the early days with Penny.

Well I challenge Chad to a penauckle contest. This is dumb and a way this knucklehead is trying to get noticed to get back in the league. He was a knucklehead in college, and even more now. Mahomes and Allen need to get it over and just throw a darn ball. They are probably just waiting to have fans and a charity contest.

I assume. Sorry, just playing along.

Limeaid, you found one of my all time favorite SB commercials. Back then commercials were hilarious during the game. “Nothin but Net“. Just like the three frogs in BUD. WISE ERR, and Wassup.

Holmes, the difference is medically approved products have to be approved by the FDA, which is a higher standard that CMARC (Europe’s version of the FDA) and supplements are not regulated. They are allowed to claim almost anything so unless it’s you’re B Vitamin, or Ca, it’s a waste of $. Other examples of course, but most if not at least many are snake oil.

Oh I’m not Berra at all. Just pointing out how silly people can be thinking some star QB is magically going to come here. Brady was so over the NE crap after 20 years and Manning practically broke his neck to go to Denver. I guess you can go back to Montana, and he was in his last two years. Loved how he really tried to help KC and they came close, but no cigar. Bottom line is Allen should be fine. If we want to move on from him it will be a couple of years before that decision.

Putin, give it a few minutes. If we’re not making a pitch for someone to bring a Star here, we’re panicking he’s going to NE. That would be scary though if really happened. Like a nightmare, but seriously doubt it. GB would be on the hook for way too much $ for the next two years or so. He’s 36 so probably in 2022, I can see someone grabbing him as they don’t take as much of a hit by then. Besides by year 3, their young guy if he’s ever going to be ready, would be ready then. He’s raw now, and GB is overall a well run team, so they picked him probably to groom him like Rodgers in the Favre era. I like Icebowl who is welcome here, but not crazy about a third stud QB after Favre and Rodgers. We had to wait 20+ years for Allen after Kelly, and I really want to believe Allen will grow into the guy. I remember someone posted and made me think Allen only started for two years at Wyoming so he’s almost like a rookie. I mean by that two years in college and two years in the pros. This year could be his year.

Bart, but then chickens would be offended. To playoffspoint, just about any nickname can be perverted into an offense. I do agree Redskins is the one anomaly where even though it’s been the name for over 80 years should be changed. Things change. I was watching a while back in the am before the gym, an episode from the first season of MASH ( classic in the first few years ) and forgot the doctor in the first seasons name. I’ll just say Dr. Jones as I won’t use his first name. It is absolutely offensive, but my point is just from 1972 to now, life has changed. I’d like to think for the better.
