Are there still EJ defenders? I, and every other FSU fan I know knew he wasn't going to be a good pro QB. He was a decent college QB but he looked much better on paper than he did during the heat of the battle. He squandered a lot of talent at FSU too. Kelvin Benjamin had 4 Td's in a season with EJ and had 15 the next year with Jamies. Apparently EJ is a big cry baby now, including blaming racism for his lack of success in the NFL.

This is crazy. It's been three games and the majority of fans here are saying Allen is a top 5 QB? And some think he's better than Rodgers? That's borderline insanity. Not saying he won't get there eventually, but let's pump the brakes here a bit. It wasn't that long ago that Trent Edwards was supposed to be the MVP of the year after starting out 4-1.
Agreed on pumping the breaks but the Edward's comparison isn't a good one. Through those 5 games, Trent had 4 total TDs. He was never pushing the ball downfield like Josh is.

Except in 2011 when we beat the Pats week 3 to start 3-0 only to finish the season 6-10.

There's this dwindling group of people who continue to push Tyrod as a starting qb.

Just now, Coach Tuesday said:
If anything they were too aggressive on D yesterday. Really didn’t like the consistent double A-gap blitzes which Fitz kept burning them on. I think (without evidence) McD was livid at Frazier and became involved in the playcalling by the fourth quarter. They had no business blitzing up the middle and leaving the area inside the hashes exposed - that’s Fitz’s calling card. Baffled me.They were a little over aggressive all day but the last series was ultra conservative. A little tighter coverage and they force Fitz into sacks or a turnover instead of letting him go down the field in 2 minutes and get a cheap TD.

Hated the last series on D. Should not have come down to an onside kick.

I liked Murphy coming out of college. Never wanted to cut him here. He's an above average DE. He's no Chris Kelsay, who totally sucked.

Based on one game - no. The question is how will he develop and perform by year end.
I wasn't that worried until I saw his college stats. 20-28 his senior year is pretty lousy. We'll see I guess.

Funny how people bring up the Browns miss for Hauschka considering it was his first miss from 30-39 in 7 years. Hauschka missed only 4 from that distance in 12 years. Bass is half way there in only his first game. Hauschka also went 4/4 in the Playoff game including hitting from 47 with 5 seconds left. You feel confident in having Bass do that?

He was only 20-28 last year in college.
He was? That's pretty crappy. I don't see this kid being on the roster at the end of the year.
-
He should be cut. Can't miss inside of 40 like that. One of the few bad moves Beane has made along with going into Josh's rookie year with just him and Peterman and no veteran QB on the roster.

Not a Rosen fan but he's gotten a raw deal. Two terrible teams with two terrible O-lines.

Um, Negative. From the article quoted:
Sources: Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York State Department of Health, Covid-19 Scenarios, New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, author's calculations *As estimated by the author, who is not an epidemiologist
Basically, a journalist who usually writes about business and economics does some estimation he doesn't really explain and all of a sudden it's a factual thing? He writes:
"No epidemiologist or public health official would dispute that there were a lot more actual cases of Covid-19 in New York City than confirmed ones, or that the peak in new infections occurred before the peak in confirmed cases, but the exact ups and downs of the disease depicted above are the product of a bunch of assumptions that may not be entirely correct. I will describe those assumptions and their possible flaws below, but I’m convinced "
He's quite correct that no one knowledgeable would dispute that there were a lot more actual cases of covid-19 than confirmed ones. I'm not so confident that no one would dispute that the peak in new infections occurred before the peak in confirmed cases. There are a bunch of assumptions there.
Ok, you're right. Still doesn't really change the truth. NY and NYC had much higher levels of cases than FL. Florida's spike would look like nothing compared to the cases in NY if the testing was at the same levels. We know FL was performing 300-400% more tests during their peak than NY was during their peak.
10 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said:Sorry, this is baloney. Not sure where you're getting this from.
I don't know. The charts look pretty similar to me.
10 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said:Other countries that didn't have a huge surge in infections and deaths have mostly avoided these spikes. We can't do what other countries can do, why?
Which countries were those? Some little small, homogeneous Nordic country? Most states and countries who didn't have a first wave of cases, had a spike in the summer. Even Japan, Australia, Israel etc experienced spikes. You can't run from a virus. You have to face it sooner or later. The idea that you can open any of these states that didn't have a 1st wave of infections, let alone a state with 20+ million people and not see a rise in cases in illogical. Red and blue states who both missed the 1st wave all had major increases in cases this summer from California and Oregon to FL and Texas.

Yeah, they did very well--in not a lot of time and despite seeing how other whole states controlled massive outbreaks months ago, Florida quickly became the state with the most cases in the country. That's quite an achievement. Desantis was being VERY modest in describing this grand outcome as only a "blip"!
And yes--you have very astutely noticed, NYS did NOT reverse it's pandemic fortune by statewide shutdown and a specific plan for reopening each region based on specific outcomes----it was "massive infection rates and death" that got them out of that hole!! That should be the CDC plan going forward: forget new treatments and vaccine development (vaccines are too dangerous anyway, amirite??)---they should just let "massive infection and death" run its course and everything will be just fine---like in NYS!
And Sweden, you say? Tell us all: on, say, March 15th, how many daily international flights were bringing travelers from Asia? Italy? Spain? France? The UK? How many Swedes live on typical NYC sized block? You must know the answers to these questions since you made the comparison.
It's funny how the narrative shift was to cases once the testing had become 5 times more abundant in this country. FL cases and NY cases are not remotely comparable. Mount Sinai hospital is estimating NY was peaking around 85K new cases a day in late March. Florida's one day peak was 15k cases. NY has suffered many more cases of Covid. The massive death toll tells us that.
The NY death chart mirrors epidemilogist's chart of what would happen if no safety precautions were taken. Massive infection and death followed by a steep decline in both. NY just decided to hurt their small businesses on top of that. You act as in FL didn't have a specific regional plan for reopening. We did. I live in an area that had their phase 2 reopening pushed back because the infection and hospitalization metrics weren't where they needed to be. Again, to assume states who avoided the first wave of covid could avoid spikes in infections after reopening is nonsensical. The point was to have hospitals ready and not have them get overloaded and guess what, that's what happened, no matter how hard the media wanted to spin it. I never said NY did it the right way. They did it the quickest way but the loss of life was substantial. I would never recommend the way they did it. They really didn't have much of a choice bc it hit them first but again, to say they got it under control is misleading imo. They basically did Sweden's plan without meaning to. I only brought Sweden up bc they got on the other side of covid by really doing nothing but let the virus run it's course, which is what NY unintentionally let happen also IMO.
1 hour ago, BullBuchanan said:So, you want to point to the way Sweden handles things when it benefits your cause, but I'm guessing you probably hate their national healthcare?
Do you know that Sweden has a population density of 25 per square kilometer, while NYC has 38,242 per square kilometer? The fact that Sweden killed 570 of its citizens per million, is similar to countries with 10X, 20X or more in population density, like the UK.If you think National healthcare looked great after what happened in Italy, Spain and the UK, then you might want to go for a brain scan.

So, NYS protective measures helped them get to the other side.....but it's no a model that other states could use (MONTHS later) to prevent getting slammed?
That's not a very persuasive argument.
It's your opinion that protective measures helped get them on the other side. I disagree. I think massive infection rates and death helped get them on the other side. Sweden never locked down, never closed schools and they're really not even wearing masks and they got to the other side without close to the death rate NY had. That's a real success story. There seems to be this narrative that FL could have avoided a spike in infections when they reopened. I don't think that's true. I haven't really seen a state that didn't get hit early that reopened without a spike in infections. Miami Dade county, Florida's most affected county locked down all non-essential business for 2 months. They've had a mask mandate since April 9th. What are they supposed to do, stay locked down forever? It's a joke. FL has done quite well. Everything is open state wide, we've just hit our lowest daily covid case numbers in 2 months, we have 1/3 of the deaths of NY, we didn't have the massively avoidable nursing homes deaths, our unemployment rate is much lower, people are flocking here, not leaving, we're in a lot better shape financially with a lot less debt, it's not even close.

This is not even close to an accurate representation of what happened in New York State. Did don trump write that for you?
If NY state was a country, If you have by far the worsts deaths per capita in the world. Nothing to brag about.

10 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said:"letting it rip through"??
It swarmed in, no doubt through the airports from people all over the world. Hoe did they "let it rip through"?
Maybe letting it rip through was a poor choice of words. I mean I could do the hindsight is 20/20 thing like everyone seems to do these days but I'm not that type of person. The chart we've seen over and over again is basically a mirror of the NY death chart. They got slammed early and it's helped them get to the other side of this thing faster. IMO. I don't think anyone should be following them as a guide.

The COVID situation in Florida, coming months after NYS had taken control of the pandemic, was completely unnecessary as it was avoidable. You don't get credit for chasing a bear out of your home (after he rips through it) when you knew he was at the door and let him in, Governor...
If by "taken control of the pandemic" you mean letting it rip through the NYS population, killing people at rates not even seen in third world countries, then yes, they took control really well.

I wouldn't believe you anyways. Funny, no democrat I know will admit for voting for Gillum. You're just another one.

Most prolific offense in FSU history? Ward in 1993, and Weinke in 2000 disagree with you. EJ throwing 23 TDs and 10 ints is not the most prolific offense in FSU history.
