  1. I don't know the answer but the only problem going by that metric is Edmunds wouldn't be as "fresh" as the players finishing ahead of him giving them the advantage.
  2. He got it from PFF who has Edmunds as the 24th best LB entering 2021 (Milano was 11th). https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-linebacker-rankings-entering-2021-nfl-season He got those numbers from PFF.
  3. You seem to be ignoring the data that just .08% of the Covid deaths in the US in May were among those fully vaccinated and that the most widely used vaccine in the UK is the Astrozenaca one which is inferior to Pfizer and Moderna when it comes to protecting against variants. I wish everyone got the vaccine. Society still should do everything they can to get the movable middle to get vaccinated (preferably with the mRNA vaccines given their effectiveness against variants so far). It's not necessary just looking at the data to force vaccinations at this point in the US.
  4. Build a man a fire, he will be warm for the night. Set the man on fire he will be warm for the rest of his life...👍
  5. The Pfizer vaccine is 88% effective against the variant according to the article while the Astrozeneca vaccine is only 60% effective. The mRNA vaccines (pfizer and moderna) have been resilient against all the variants. The most vulnerable people in the US received those vaccines. Only 150 of the approximately 180,000 (.08%) Covid deaths occurred among the fully vaccinated in the US in May. Those are incredible numbers so unless something changes then there's no need at all to require mask mandates or lockdowns. If unvaccinated people want to continue to die from Covid it's on them since the shots are available free of cost right now.
  6. Future generations is my main question when it comes to the idea of reparations if we as a society feel descendants of slaves deserve to be compensated. Let's say we do agree that reparations should be made in a one time cash payment. We determine who should receive reparations and who and how we pay for them. Does the next generation also get reparation payments of some kind? For example, let's say a POC who is a new parent receives a slavery reparation of 10k dollars and bets 10k on the Dolphins winning the AFC East this year. When the Bills win the AFC East do we as a society have an obligation owe anything to that child since the racism hasn't vanished because the child hasn't benefited financially. Is it society's fault the parent was dumb enough to think Tua would take that next step?
  7. There was only one team that had more sacks in 2013 than the 57 our crew in 2013. Care to guess who the defensive coordinator of that team was?
  8. The pandemic is essentially over unless we see a marked increase in hospitalizations and deaths in vaccinated people. Anything else (like the delta variant) is basically fear porn now.
  9. Brown already distancing himself from Paladino and Walton blasts him for taking two days to disavow him. Odds are Brown's doing a write in campaign or he wouldn't have distanced himself imo. https://www.wgrz.com/article/news/politics/buffalo-mayor-byron-brown-says-he-will-not-accept-support-from-carl-paladino/71-9e3e9f50-2ea0-4fe7-8eb0-9e53319988fe
  10. To quote Men In Black, "People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it." Stock up on toilet paper ASAP for this Delta variant.
  11. A week? Must live in some over cautious blue state.
  12. Good question but only if they specified how long their final tour would be.
  13. I believe his point was that Mr. Negativity claimed we'd be wearing masks permanently. He was dead wrong like usual. Meanwhile, I haven't had to use a mask in any public place in over a month now thanks to the vaccines.
  14. There was a 15.9% increase in the death rate in the US in 2020 compared to 2019 after three straight years of decline.
  15. What would Bill Belichick do? Jab him in his sleep and tell him the NFL made an exception just for you because they admired his courage in speaking out. They may have to think outside the box here.
  16. He's in great shape physically for a 78 year old as he follows a strict diet and does a cardio/weight lifting morning routine five days a week. I do think he's slipping a bit mentally although it's hard to tell as he's never been a good public speaker. I give him a 50/50 chance of running for reelection.
  17. Levi Wallace -walk on at Alabama to starting CB in the NFL.
  18. I don't know what's going on behind the scenes right now with the Beasley situation but I think the Bills would've traded or cut him by now if they get the sense he's going to opt out. They still might within the next few days. If not, there's no way he's not on the active 53 man roster as he's too important as that safety valve in the slot. Eighty two catches for 967 yards in 15 games is not easily duplicated and losing him would be significant. Ford would have to have a really bad camp for them to cut/trade him as he won't save you much money. He's only had a year and a half of playing experience at both tackle and guard. Having him fully healthy and locking him into one position (guard) will be key. He's by far our most athletically gifted guard as we moved up in the 2nd for a reason Frazier values veterans so I think Addison stays although he'd make the most sense of the three you mentioned with three younger DE's vying for playing time.
  19. He may opt out. Same with Poyer for all we know. Not chef though.
  20. Allen posted the 9th best QBR by a QB for a single season since they started tracking it in 2006. I think he'll regress some but the running game and defense will be improved.
  21. Her previous experience is a nurse. She's not qualified to be mayor of a major city. There has to be some kind of behind the scenes work being done to run a viable candidate against her in November.
  22. That's why I didn't consider a kicker on the list. Bass is good but if he goes down there's plenty of FA kickers available. Same goes for a RB since we don't have a standout stud and are RB by committee. The reason I put White ahead of Diggs is we have more depth at WR (assuming Beasley doesn't retire), Daboll is good at scheming guys open, Josh is growing more comfortable in the offense, and we showed last year we can win with the run in two games (Chargers and first Pats game) if need be. Meanwhile, the one game White missed (Titans game) we made Tannehill and AJ Brown look like Montana and Rice.
