It varies tremendously. I've known people that had too much and intestines were burned out so they never functioned properly afterwards. I've also known people who experienced zero side effects during or after their treatment. I haven't known many who got through chemo without side effects of some sort, including myself.
It does. I'm getting Proton Beam Therapy in Boston for 4 weeks, 5 days a week. Quite a bit of fatigue and skin irritation are all I'm dealing with.

Eff cancer. Radiation can be tough, trust me.

In other words, you won't answer the question.
Can you point to a post last fall where you said people should be wearing masks during the Flu season and that the NFL stadiums should be shut down because people are dying?
I mean, that's a pretty big thing, right?
You are forgetting a number of facts. One - there is a flu vaccine. Even a semi-effective flu vaccine provides *some* protection to those infected.Two - the flu is less contagious and less fatal. This is a fact. More people have died of Covid in three months than the flu in a year. Three - Covid can overwhelm hospital ICU departments. The flu does not. Three - there are a few treatments for the flu, like Tamiflu. Four - there is a general herd immunity for the flu. Most smart people get a flu shot. That doesn't exist for covid.
The idea of comparing covid to the flu is just false equivalency. It's kind of stupid.
I certainly hope you consider others in difficult situations when you make your decision not to wear a mask, and the impact your selfishness might have on others.

And, yet, still less than 1% of the population has tested postive over the last three months and much, much less than that have died from it and, those that have "died" from Covid-19, quite a majority of those had something going on to begin with.
I appreciate the warning and the cocern (I'm being honest about that) ER stories about Covid really don't scare me. I've been dealing with the public face to face since Covid arrived and nobody was even required to wear masks the first month plus into it.
LikenI said, appreciate it. I'll wear my mask where I am told to to get service or my job, and that is where it ends.
Wearing masks at football games won't go over well at all.
Selfishness and ignorance will get people killed.

Shutting stuff down is a good thing. Selfish people don't wear masks, don't social distance, and behave in ways that could cause the virus to spread. If people weren't so selfish and were reliably careful and responsible, opening up would be a no-brainer. But all it takes is one jerk without a mask or who makes selfish choices and then acts in a way that exposes someone else while they are asymptomatic. Screw you if you do that.
You never know what someone else is dealing with. Cancer, radiation treatment, essential medications that cause your immune system to be compromised. But no, "I wanna go to a football game, so screw everyone else's needs! I wanna go to a bar and have fun because *I'M* the most important person on earth!" Selfish and stupid behavior that could KILL someone like me.
And then there are the fools who deny how nasty this virus is. It spreads virulently, much quicker and worse than a cold or flu. It's bad, folks. Yes, many people do fine with it, but many otherwise healthy people don't. I've seen it. I was in the hospital for essential surgery for two weeks in May. It was bad. Caregivers being quarantined, people they know getting sick, morale low because of furloughed co-workers. All of this could be prevented if people behaved appropriately and avoided crowds, wore masks, and stayed away from people.
Shut it all down, as far as I'm concerned.

I'm actually amazed King wrote *anything* regarding the Buffalo Bills. He has a huge blind spot when it comes to them. Too small-market for the hot-take King. He used to be good, now he's lazy.

Zicam and Cold-Eze type products are mostly functional because of zinc. Stay home everybody. If you think this isn't a big deal, think again. NYC hospitals are starting to be crushed under the load, and we aren't even peaking yet. Stay home.

The thing that's always surprised me is that McDermott always credits Andy Reid as being a big influence/mentor to him, yet for 3 seasons we've seen a lack of focus on the offense. This upcoming draft really needs to focus on the offense. We need 2 more solid recievers that will be a part of this team for 5 years or longer. I think we're ok at tight end. Get some depth at o line in the later rounds and I think we'll be in pretty good shape for 2020
Wait, what? Last year the entire offensive like except left tackle was replaced. Devin Singletary was drafted . Tyler Kroft was signed. Dawson Knox was drafted. Beasley and Brown were signed. Gore was brought in. How is that not concentrating on the offense? That’s a total rebuild!13 minutes ago, Billsfan1972 said:All off the Discount bin (except JA)!!!!

Takes a mediocre musical medium and drops it down 10 or 12 notches. Horrid.

Maybe it was mentioned during the broadcast and I missed it but how do you know he was calling plays?
During the broadcast there were a few shots of him covering his mouth with the playsheet and talking into the headset before the play.

Anyone else notice that McDermott was calling the defensive plays during the last 2 or 3 minutes of the game? He's a pretty good playcaller, but I wonder what is up with that.

Well, it is a copycat league.
(sorry for that)

5 weeks in and now this? Really? Let's give it some time before we decide. This whole "snap-judgement" mindset drives me nuts. Frankly, it doesn't make sense. Talk to me after two years.

But we used the PS exemption on him so now we can't. Not saying we would have if we could have or that he is quite ready for real NFL ball yet but with Singletary's injury it would have been an interesting consideration.
With all the confusion on the rules of these International guys I never saw this scenario mentioned.
The Pats, who are always playing 4D chess, didn't use the roster exemption on their guy and just activated him a few hours ago. So there we have it. FB Jakob Johnson is now the first official player make an NFL roster through the program.
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/27669130/pats-activate-first-international-pathway-player
What are you talking about? Wade was clearly not ready in terms of playbook, philosophy, and football knowledge. He doesn't know how to pick up the blitz or read defenses like an NFL player. The PS exemption was the best thing to do for him, by ensuring nobody could put them on their PS or team, and allowing the Bills to develop him more. Putting him on the roster or not using the exemption would have exposed him.

Teller was a 5th round pick. They got back the 5th rounder, gained a 6th, and lost a 7th, iirc. Kind of a wash.
Not really, considering they got a year's worth of use out of him. Not only that, the 7th is in 2021, which according to draft charts is pretty much a half-box of tape. Really great move by Beane, who would have got nothing if they cut him, anyway. Maybe not as good a move as taking away a Cheatriot pick for a guy they would have cut and was terrible last year, but still pretty good.

I think Joseph can play snaps in sub-packages as a rookie. I don't, however, expect him to be another Milano--Milano was a former CB with excellent instincts. Joseph is an athletic 'backer who lacks great instincts.
I do think he could be a valuable sub-package guy though.
I don't know. I watched the all the film on that page and more, and I think he has really great instincts. Instincts in the NFL are learned.

I'm fine with this. The media these days is horrible. It's a "hot take" media, which requires only an opinion that doesn't need to be based on fact. The Bills don't generate clicks right now, so they will never be an option.
This fact really hit home recently. Peter King (think what you want) used to be a guy who would cover the NFL and all the teams in it, no matter what. Recently, he never mentions or considers Buffalo. So I wrote him a note. It ended up being one of the letters he answered on his Monday Morning bull#### columns. He basically said, "the Bills haven't won a playoff game in forever, so screw them, I'm only covering the teams that make me feel good about eating Hot Pockets. The "Hot Take" media.

I wish him the best, but still can’t forgive him for the Jacksonville game.

He’s a little punk. He’s at the stage of his career where he shouldn’t be a punk, but he still is. Can’t wait for poyer to meet him across the middle.
