wppete Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) I think this is a wise move considering what has happened in Europe and other countries. What the NBA has done is also the right thing and I predict the NFL Draft will be only on TV and Drafting via teleconfrence. Stay safe evryone!

Warcodered Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 At this point most/enough of the scouting should be done already I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boater Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 If other teams make likewise measures.. I'm OK. If other teams continue scouting ops, I'm afraid the Bills will be at disadvantage at the draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I could for a delay is if they determine all teams haven’t been able to do their due diligence on scouting, interviews, etc. Otherwise all they need to conduct the draft is literally 32 phone lines, maybe some WiFi.

letsgoteam Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Im assuming they have footage of every college game at their disposal. I think every team should be able to make selections based on game footage (right?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I'm sure Roger Goodell would be happy for a broadcast only draft. He gets booed most of the time when he takes the stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 "DR. DREW: “A bad flu season is 80,000 dead, we’ve got about 18,000 dead from influenza this year, we have a hundred from corona. Which should you be worried about influenza or Corona? A hundred versus 18,000? It’s not a trick question. And look, everything that’s going on with the New York cleaning the subways and everyone using Clorox wipes and get your flu shot, which should be the other message, that’s good. That’s a good thing, so I have no problem with the behaviors. What I have a problem with is the panic and the fact that businesses are getting destroyed that people’s lives are being upended, not by the virus, but by the panic. The panic must stop. And the press, they really somehow need to be held accountable because they are hurting people.” https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2020/03/10/dr_drew_pinsky_coronavirus_panic_must_stop_press_needs_to_be_held_accountable_for_hurting_people.html?fbclid=IwAR1T-gy3dcGRsqFqD6WdIxvQSW7pAHCMchs0_4UUkjdvrvdnA05u7epwyQA 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah John Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 All those scouts and coaches who've been on the road -- one or more of them could be bringing the virus back. They should be quarantined. Preferably in Foxborough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coronavirus has a ten time higher mortality rate than the flu, and with between 70 and 150 million Americans projected to get it, you could have 500,000 deaths. Furthermore, we don't have a clue about how many now have it nor how many have died because of the botched job of the Trump administration with its gutted agencies, incompetent cronies running agencies, etc. Yesterday the CDC ran a total of...8 tests. 8! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prickly Pete Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I think the NFL would do ok if they just televised the games without fans there. They could mic up players, and work up new ways to use cameras ( body cams) to keep it interesting. 6 hours ago, yungmack said: Dr. Drew sounds like a Limbaugh Ditto-head.
