Caption: "Fans react to the game as the Seattle Seahawks take on the Oakland Raiders at CenturyLink Field in Seattle Thursday August 29, 2019 for their fourth preseason game. (Dean Rutz / The Seattle Times)" [Article: https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/seahawks/how-could-a-potentially-shortened-nfl-preseason-impact-the-seahawks/] [Larger pic here: https://postimg.cc/14dcrpzk ] You can tell the fan on the left in the Bills jersey is wearing a Seahawks hat in the larger pic above or in the article link above. A number of things first went through my mind when I saw this: 1. It must have been Buffalo at Seattle. That is the logical explanation of why the fan is wearing a Bills jersey at CenturyLink. Then I realized the caption said it was actually Oakland at Seattle in 2019. 2. The jersey that looks like a Bills jersey must be some kind of weird throwback jersey Seattle has. Nope. 3. The fan is incredibly cheap. He must have bought the Lynch jersey on clearance after he was traded away from Buffalo. [I remember buying a Terrell Owens jersey in Philly on clearance for $1 after he went to Dallas--but I didn't go to Dallas wearing a Philadelphia jersey.] 4. How did that guy make it out alive after wearing a Bills jersey there? 5. The guy looks stupid AF in a Bills jersey and a Seahawks hat.

If this is your first post, how were you able to start a new thread??

Nope. Dorms usually have communal showers, which are a big no-no according to guidelines for re-opening sports. They will stay in a hotel, with private showers, one player per room.

Because the NFL is proposing to delay the season by three weeks, eliminating the bye week, Pro Bowl, and week before the SB.

I respect your opinion, but there will not be a season this fall. COVID-19 has now been demonstrated to cause damage to the liver, kidneys, heart, neurological system, eyes, and blood: https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/coronavirus-destroys-lungs-but-doctors-are-finding-its-damage-in-kidneys-hearts-and-elsewhere/2020/04/14/7ff71ee0-7db1-11ea-a3ee-13e1ae0a3571_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-banner-main_virusorgans-8am%3Ahomepage%2Fstory-ans&itid=hp_hp-banner-main_virusorgans-8am%3Ahomepage%2Fstory-ans No one is leaving their house for the near future. I wanted opinions, not valid answers.

Life will be on pause until a vaccine comes out, whether people like it or not. There is too much to lose otherwise. They have no choice in the matter. And whether the survivability rate is high among younger people is not the issue. The virus can cause permanent damage to survivors to their hearts, lungs, and brains, no matter their age. Many of those people will need to be in the ICU and require ventilators. When you are on a ventilator, they either sedate you and use paralytics and restraints because you feel like you are drowning when on a ventilator and try to instincitvely pull the cords out, or they put you into an induced coma for a few weeks. Do you want to be on a ventilator or die? Some younger people will die. They will also spread the virus to others before they are symptomatic. If there is a spike, they will overwhelm the medical system. I predict no football this year, and maybe not in 2021 either. All NFL contracts will be frozen. There are more serious things than sports now. This shelter-in-pace is the new normal. It is just the beginning.

If there are no NFL and college football seasons, will there still be a combine and then a draft next April?

That would not be fair to the team, as the Bills would not have Josh Allen on a cheap rookie deal for one year and have less time to evaluate him before offering him an extension. And they would also get one less year of Trevon Diggs.

What all the line judges, ball boys/girls, doctors, coaches, replay officials, cleaning crews, maintenance crews, TV personnel, etc.?

You mean like this:

The Bills play at SF this year, so an empty stadium there would give the Bills a huge advantage. Likewise if NJ bans the Jets from having fans.

Most public gyms will not allow the member's own personal trainer inside, unless they are also a member. I know mine didn't. I get a page error.

Donte Whitner? CJ Spiller? Hard to call them draft busts when they made two Pro Bowls and one Pro Bowl, respectively.

Here is the game video: When I watched the game as a kid, I gained serious respect for Andre Reed when he made it 7-0 with a 73-yard TD run [see at 19:19 above]. I realized he was the best receiver in the AFC. Cleveland's kicker Matt Bahr also slipped and missed a FG at 18:00 in the video above.

And another instance of the Bills stunning the Pats in 2011 34-31. The Bills finished 6-10 that year and the Patriots went to the SB at 13-3:

It was. Another of the Bills' best spoiler games and Bill Belichick's worst loss ever was when we annihilated the Patriots in the season opener in 2003 31-0, with the additions of Lawyer Milloy, Takeo Spikes, and Sam Adams. At the time, people were saying Drew Bledsoe would never beat his old team. The loss infuriated Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. We were only one of two teams (the other was Washington) to beat the Patriots that year on their way to a SB win over Carolina. Primetime Highlights: Full game: More highlights (bad video quality but great soundtrack): Unfortunately, this loss by the Patriots fired BB and Brady up so much, they went on to win 5 more SB's and dominate the next 16 years. The Bills were responsible for creating the Patriot dynasty according to the NFL: "How Bill Belichick's Worst Loss Led to the Patriots Dynasty | NFL Vault Stories" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlTQcHmIE6Y

No one was able to watch since it was blacked out in Buffalo. I was a kid then and furious. Thanks for posting this!

Because they lost Brady. That is a catastrophic loss. How many championsips did the Chicago Bulls win after Jordan retired? Same with the Cleveland Cavaliers after Lebron left. This division is the Bills to take in 2020.

You can't play the game scared, or in a prevent defense. I'd rather take the 7. Who cares if Miami marches down the field? The Bills just scored 7. Also, the Ravens tried to prevent injuries by resting their starters in Game 17 vs. Pittsburgh last year. They were off the next week, and then lost big time to the Titans. It would have been better had the starters played and stayed in shape. You have to go for the gusto in this league. Naw, let him have his fun. This was an exciting play. You can't play the game scared. Cummings didn't have any special teams TD's.

His nickname was "One Bills Nick"?

I thought this thread would be about prostate cancer.

The CBA in China re-starts in early April. It features Jeremy Lin.

I predict the NFL Draft and season will be canceled. And the NHL, MLB, and NCAA football seasons too.

High motor.

Yes, at least two or three teams do.
