People always get worked up over these things. Normally, I don’t care much about these type of things. However, this isn’t your typical movement to improve diversity. This directly impacts the on field success a team has based on whom they hire. I’m not one who gets upset about efforts to improve diversity, but this is clearly the wrong way to do it. It’s absolutely absurd, but that’s what the league does best.

I get your point, but I don’t follow why Beasley would only be seeing 40% of snaps? I guess you’re saying that Beasley would be getting less playing time to make room for Davis? Three and four receiver sets are common these days. I don’t see a scenario where Beasley would be unhappy with his playing time, because Davis can get playing time along with Beasley. If Davis came out looking like an all pro early in the year, maybe I’d have some concerns about Beasley’s playing time. However, I don’t see Davis jumping Beasley on the depth chart. WR’s take a while to acclimate to the pro game. We have no idea if Davis can even play at the pro level. I’d be open to a Beasley trade if Davis and/or Hodgins proven they can.

You forgot Duke Williams.

Evans was a weird player for me. One game he’d look like one of the best WR’s in the NFL, and other games he’d completely vanish. Playing with subpar QB’s obviously factored in, but he was also somewhat of a one trick pony. He couldn’t make plays in traffic, or run short routes with any kind of consistency. He was one of the better Bills receivers of all time without question, but I always wished for another number one to compliment him when he was on our roster.

Beasley isn’t phenomenal, but he’s proven he can contribute at the NFL level. Why potentially decimate a decent depth chart ? Davis and Hodgins are complete unknowns at this point. It’s a nice luxury not to rush them up on the depth chart.

What kind of fool doesn’t pay in cash ? Bob Kraft might not know how to stay away from the cameras, but I’m sure he knows the proper way to hand off some cash.

Lee Evans had such incredible speed, and was a playmaker. The thing is, he rarely made catches in traffic where he couldn’t use his speed. Seemed like he got taken out of quite a few games for a number one WR. On the flip side, I really forgot how good Schobel could be. I didn’t appreciate him at the time, but he was good player.

Roscoe Parrish has the most exciting zero yard returns of all time.

Thanks for the info, but I think one Jauron/Edwards Monday Night debacle was enough for me. I should pass, but actually just tuned in for a short time. I forgot we ever tried a Trent Edwards led no huddle offense. That’s hilarious.

They’ll be tested on a regular basis. They aren’t risking their lives anymore than the millions of Americans who work for peanuts everyday.

I don’t know, I’m thinking if one player tests positive you don’t need to quarantine the entire team. That’s the point of regular testing, if everyone else is negative, I don’t see them quarantining the entire team. I feel for you, it’s not right. You can’t go golfing, no drive in movies, but l’ve never seen home improvement stores, discount retailers, and grocery busier in my life.

I actually understand it somewhat. Belichick in New England without Brady is a pretty big storyline. Everyone is anxious to see how it turns out. At the same time, five does seem like a bit much. Who really wants to watch Stidham that often?

There’s no way the league knows what will happen, no one does. They are just moving ahead under the assumption of normal. I hope they are correct, that’s all I can say.

Going to a Bills game is like attending a party. It’s a chance to meet up with friends and have a good time. The party atmosphere along the game itself is the reason I go. Without the party element, I can just stay home. That doesn’t mean I’m being irresponsible, or don’t care about the game itself, but it’s what tips the scale in favor of me buying a ticket.

I agree, and not to turn away from the topic, but the whole “new normal” thing doesn’t appeal to me either. I’ll be back at games when the stadium can be filled to capacity. I understand taking precautions, but I’m not capable of living life in fear, no matter how justified. I don’t want to go to a game with 15,000 people where everyone who crosses paths needs to remember the six foot rule, and treat each other as if they have the plague. I deal with it to buy groceries, I’d rather watch the game in the comfort of my home under a limited capacity situation. If 15,000 fans showed up, and it wasn’t due to the virus, I think it’d fun. I just don’t have any desire to go out to have a good time, only to be reminded how messed up the world is right now. I’d say social distancing need not apply, because Coronavirus is the least of your concerns.

The Browns should be great on offense when looking at it on paper, but I think the Browns will be trash as usual. The coaching is an upgrade over Kitchens, but nothing to write home about. This team still has no leadership. Mayfield isn’t a leader, Beckham and Landry are a train wreck of drama. It’s still a terrible locker room, and a losing formula. I said the same thing last season, and I’m sticking with it this year. So many people told me I was full of it, and they were too talented to fail.

Exactly, I don’t care about how many prime time games are on the schedule whatsoever. Every game could be a 1pm start, and I’d be thrilled if fans are filling the stadium at 1pm every Sunday.

Exactly, if he wanted to build culture he could retire and become a coach. I’m not doubting Gore as a mentor, but it’s ridiculous how little he contributes as a running back at this point. Good point, I just can’t believe anyone would sign him as a player.

Favre has done plenty of things that could have damaged his reputation over the years, sports media always chose to look the other way because he’s so beloved. With that said, who knows what happened here until more comes out.

Yeah, I read the article slightly wrong, as someone pointed out. I guess they might “suggest” fans over 70 stay home. Just seems like an arbitrary number written by someone without much knowledge. I rarely see anyone over 70 at New Era anyway. I’d assume that crowd is more likely to be in a suite or something to begin with. Amen. If they don’t sell beer in the name of Covid 19, it will never come back. If people are good with it this season, it’s never coming back.

Easy for guys like Oswalt to say when their livelihoods aren’t dependent on a business or going to work.

Or it’s a good place to build a robust immune system.

I’ll be a toddler on this one, because if all I hear is Covid 19 news 24/7 into the fall, I’ll need beer more than ever. There’s nothing I’d love more right now than the diversion of going to game and drinking beer.

Because it doesn’t make sense to me. The stats show that being 60, or even 50 plus can be really bad with this virus. 70 isn’t some magic number, and it’s just another random bit of nonsense someone threw out. They’ll also need to encourage anyone with pre existing conditions to stay home, regardless of age. For that matter, maybe they should just ask men to stay home since this virus is twice as deadly to men. My point is that 70 isn’t some magic number. If all we need to do is protect people over 70, why not end this all, and just tell people 70 plus to stay home. Yes, older people are more likely to suffer complications from this virus, but 70 isn’t the magic number where it becomes dangerous. The virus becomes more fatal as age increases, like anything else, but is being 62 any better than being 70? Not really. If age suggestions are in place for stadium admittance, that means there will be no fans this year imo. The point of prohibiting large gathering is to protect those vulnerable to the virus as well. If you have 70,000 thirty year olds gathered in a stadium passing germs, they bring them back into the community to pass on to the older folks as well. There won’t be fans if we are still this concerned with the virus in the fall imo. I’m not an expert by any means, but I just don’t see this scenario.

I quit reading when he said he could see a scenario with no fans over 70 allowed. It proves the entire article is a hack.
