eball Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 ...teams that maintain the most continuity are going to have an enormous advantage heading into the 2020 season, primarily because of the uncertainty regarding when/if teams will be able to get together to practice. Teams with new head coaches or significant changes on their staffs will be behind. Teams with lots of new faces will be behind. Teams relying heavily upon draft picks will be behind. In this regard, I'm even more ecstatic with what Buffalo has to work with. Total continuity on the coaching staff. Key additions are veteran FAs. They will not have to rely upon immediate contributions from draft picks. I think about teams like the Pats*** having to start a new QB...even in Tampa, so many new pieces to put together with Brady coming in. In the AFC I think the Bills, Chiefs, Ravens, and Titans look like the early favorites because they seem to have this continuity in spades. 12 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 This where I miss Bills Daily. I did not always agree with his opinions but the changes in personnel, coaches and front office staff was first rate. Oh and it would be funny if a team decided to practice on its one like in "Stripes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been a few days now since China has reported new cases -and they have numerous WTO teams throughout the Country to verify this. The end is in site but our journey to it will be daunting. I believe we’ll be good for kickoff on time in 2020. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no evidence to support that claim, although there's some evidence suggesting that heat and humidity could slow the infection rate a little. https://www.live5news.com/2020/03/20/fact-or-fiction-will-hot-weather-kill-covid-/ https://health.mcleancountyil.gov/723/COVID-19-Myth-Busters https://www.businessinsider.com/coronavirus-cases-flu-like-drop-linked-with-high-heat-humidity-2020-3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That had nothing to do with weather. People are drastically underestimating the possibility that this virus mutates and comes back in fall. Particularly if there’s no vaccine by then.... summer will kill it???? It’s always winter somewhere on this planet. As long as there’s travel then contagion can spread. We’d all be better off planning for this to get worse and being happily surprised if it doesn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been thinking about this for some time now. The more this lingers, the better off the Bills should look this fall. Few teams have the continuity and team drive that the Bills will have. Significant competitive advantage, especially early in the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t say it was. Just that there’s hope given the country of origin appears to have ‘social distanced’ effectively -by whatever means necessary. Again, our Spring (Happy Spring!, btw) is going to be the rarest of any season in our lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
