It's Time to Mandate Vaccines
Doc Brown replied to The Frankish Reich's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
A negative IQ is impossible. -
I get the touchdown endearing him to Bills fan because Josh threw that football so hard that it could go through a car wash and not get wet. From what's been reported in practice, Kumerow has separated himself from the other WR's fighting for that 6th spot. I get the Duke Williams comparison but he doesn't play special teams. If we don't want to risk losing Stevenson than we can simply IR him before the final cut downs. If not then we can carry seven WR's if need be.

We just get a snapshot in the preseason games so I rely more on practice reports. He's standing out as the clear #6 at this point from all accounts and can play special teams which is huge with the coaching staff. We could IR Stevenson and Hogkins to see where they're at next year.

Sounds complicated. Seems easier just to walk into a Rite Aid and get the shot twice a year. -
We need to cut 5 players. Who are they?
Doc Brown replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I still think he was on the Covid list on the date of the tweet (8/15). Steven Gonzalez was released to make room for him so maybe an updated chart would help. Here's an updated chart... -
If we have to choose: McDermott or Daboll?
Doc Brown replied to Westside Madness's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Oh please. The Falcons, Redskins, and Eagles have done very well since their "hot" offensive coordinator left. Best case scenario is Tua fails miserably this year. Daboll takes over the Fins job and goes 0-17 because Tua still sucks. Daboll comes crawling back here after Dorsey gets the Cowboys HC opening in 2023. -
#11 on NFL Top 100: Stefon Diggs!
Doc Brown replied to IgotBILLStopay's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He shouldn’t be but my guess is players will show their respect since they’re the one’s that voted. -

It's Time to Mandate Vaccines

I wonder the same thing but then I think of this delta variant and how contagious it is. Over 50% of Floridians are vaccinated (about the natural average) and that state still has about 1 and 1/3 times the daily average cases as they did around this time last summer which is crazy. Imagine what those numbers would be if the vaccination rate was 0%. You'd be seeing hospitals overrun and that's not hyperbole. Imagine the freakout/madness though if the rate of death of the vaccinated who had a breakthrough infection with Delta was the same as the unvaccinated. We'd be watching social distancing cornhole tournaments instead of preseason football. -
It's Time to Mandate Vaccines

I've always kind of shrugged off the scant possibility of long term serious side effects when it came to something new that could help me because I've never seen it come to fruition. I got lasik surgery as soon as it came out in the late 90's because I hated wearing contacts despite people thinking you'd go blind in a year. Getting the vaccine as a public good wasn't a hard choice for me but I definitely understand the hesitancy as it does seem rushed. It's been over six months now and all you've seen are the typical rare serious side effects of any new drug/vaccine that occur in like five in a million people. I know this will drive people who post on this subject often nuts but I guarantee as soon as a vaccine is FDA approved for kids under 12 it will be a requirement for entrance in most states for public schools similar to required vaccines to prevent mums, measles, polio, etc... -

Businesses struggling to find workers pry won't mandate it yet and it could actually help some smaller businesses. Another thing full FDA approval probably does is put more pressure on colleges to mandate it to faculty and students. -

The biggest impact will pry be making employers more comfortable in requiring their employees to get vaccinated. -
Game Balls Bills v. Bears 08/21/21
Doc Brown replied to Freddie's Dead's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
McKenzie looked really good as a slot WR which is reassuring in case of a Beasley injury. -
What's with the knee injuries?
Doc Brown replied to Comebackkid's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You had me curious so I did some digging. They replaced the field back in 2018 due to complaints and there's been few since. Just some bad luck. https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-met-soldier-field-grass-turf-20181120-story.html -

Grass? -
I just saw the pictures online and it looks like the inside of a firehall.

I've never been there but damn that looks good.....

Okay but Detroit and Minnesota have a dome and it's less windy there. I think you're living in the past a little too bit. This city was built on hard working blue collar people but the majority of jobs now are white collar jobs. Back in the glory days of the early 90's the tv experience was poor compared to today (rabbit ears) so more people were willing to go to the game for a far superior viewing experience. If you build an indoor stadium the diehards will still show up but you'll get more casual fans. Also, players don't want to play in the cold in Buffalo so it's harder to attract free agents. McKenzie admitted the current Bills players would pry prefer an indoor stadium on a podcast.......

Took them long enough. You wonder how many deaths could've been avoided if they didn't have to cut through all the red tape to go from EUA to full FDA approval -
I'm getting there. The way the league is expanding the number of games means we're going to get more home games in December and January. The home viewing experience will continue to get better. The combination of wind off the lake and cold winter temperatures makes for the worst weather conditions of any franchise in the league. When this team gets back to mediocre where going to see a lot of empty seats again in December and January. Not to mention they'll have more trouble with season ticket sales and attracting free agents.

The more I think about it the more unlikely it is for any state to secede from the union based on historical and legal precedence. The Civil War basically wiped out that option for states giving a lot of power to the federal government. I guess we're just going to have to learn to live with each other.
