  1. I think that there is a provision in the collective bargaining in which players that outplay there rookie contract automatically get performance bonuses. I think Cook got one.
  2. Yes, and he’s quoted in Joe B article this morning on special teams kick coverage adjustments. Although I think Hawes penalty on coverage was really in Epenesa
  3. Got a bad feeling this is coming down to a 2 pt play
  4. Does this mean Tarin Johnson will play?
  5. Perhaps the most amazing stat is that Bills havent lost a fumble in last 17 games. A good part of that is luck, but it is also a tribute to McDermott and entire coaching staff. McD takes a lot of heat for things that don’t go well; he deserves some credit for things that do go well.
  6. Gotta say he’s noticeable, in a good way. Seems like he’s made more plays the past 2 games than all world Taiwan Jones made in a season.
  7. Who says Coleman can’t get separation?
  8. Yup. No one would design a play with Cook as lead blocker for Allen.
  9. Not sure it’s broken. Nothing displaced. But he’ll have raccoon eyes tomorrow
  10. I don’t know. This dude named McDermott says Bills haven’t been real good at 2 pt conversions as of late. https://www.si.com/nfl/bills/onsi/week-2-josh-allen-sean-mcdermott-focus-on-fixing-bills-two-point-problem
  11. Im with KC. This version of the Bills doesn’t have a great record on 2 pt conversions. Don’t chase the points until you have to.
  12. Also, in regards to the idiot portion of our fan base, I took my 10 yo son to several games in 1997-98. The only games where I saw altercations in the stands were bs Raiders )duh) and vs Jets. Jets worse than Raiders actually.
  13. SNL sketch from a few years back. a little funny
  14. Let’s be serious, that wasn’t an attack. It was a tap on a helmet. Dhop ignored it and kept running. Jackson was looking for trouble and found it.
  15. Agree completely. It’s a proprietary calculation based on play results vs EPA, then modified by quality of defense and time of game. A good illustration of how useless this metric is comes from Penn States QB, Drew Allar. In week 1, he was 22-26, 200+ yds, 1 TD, 0 Int, 0 fumbles, 20+ yds rushing. All drives led to points, his team didn’t punt once. And his team won. His QBR was 38.3, below average, and placing him 95th of 125 QB in D1.
  16. I’m a huge Barkley fan, but I think our D matches up well with his running style. I don’t think the ball touched the white line, but I think players hand did. On replay you can see the official is in perfect position to make the call, straddling the goal line.
  17. Sorry Lando, fema and nuclear energy have nothing to do with cdc. Completely different entities. I think you’ve moved the goalposts a tiny bit. I have no idea who the “hhs leader that was pretending to be a man “ is or was, and I’ve worked for hhs (nih, not cdc) for the past 25 years. My best guess is this was an hhs employee who made some noise, but was not a hhs leader, especially during the Covid pandemic. CDC for the past 50 years has been considered the gold standard for epidemiology and public health throughout the world. It was well run. If you have friends or acquaintances who work in infectious disease, ask them about cdc reputation prior to Covid. They made one serious error during Covid pandemic — diagnostic kits were faulty. All other errors during the Covid pandemic were due to being overly cautious during a novel pandemic. It’s hard for me to score them overly hard for trying to save lives when it was unclear how lethal this virus was. In retrospect, yes, masking, social distancing, etc were probably too stringent. But in real-time, CDC was thinking of Covid in the context of two other 21st century new corona viruses, SARS and MERS, both with mortality rates of 10-40%. Go Bills!
  18. Hi Lando, I think you have a couple of misconceptions on how the CDC works. 1) Vaccine recommendations have historically been set by the Advisory Committee of Immunization Practices (ACIP). this committee has historically been composed of true experts on vaccines, including pediatricians, immunologists, infectious disease physicians. They generally have at least 20 years experience post graduate or medical schools, and are highly respected full professors at academic medical centers. Here is the list from the 2019 Trump administration, so nothing to do with Biden administration. https://archive.cdc.gov/www_cdc_gov/vaccines/acip/committee/members-archive/members-2018-oct-2019-jun.html Contrast that list with the misfits appointed by RFK, only one (Meissner) has a current academic appointment and could be considered an ID/vaccine expert. https://www.cdc.gov/acip/membership/roster.html So these arent CDC employees sitting in an ivory tower; historically, ACIP has consisted of true experts. 2) I have no doubt that some CDC employees are true pencil pushers who never leave Atlanta. But other CDC employees are boots-on-the-ground epidemiologists, who are among the first experts at an outbreak scene, whether a cluster of lead poisoning in Wisconsin, or Ebola in Liberia. So not just textbook understanding. All of this is in flux as RFKjr and Trump proceed to destroy American health care research.
  19. Not sure how you can say he’s not a #1. Not today, sure. But later this year or next? He does have potential.
