As far as the timing regarding doing some scrimmaging on some other teams, the two teams that we spoke to way back in the offseason were Miami and Buffalo,'' Quinn said. "And so if those guidelines are in place that we're able to, we will. And then obviously if they're not, we won't.''
 

The Falcons are scheduled to host the Dolphins between Aug. 13-17 and are scheduled to visit the Bills between Aug. 20-24.

With the new regime in Carolina, would have sworn it would have been with Washington now.

Bills don’t play Washington in preseason

Not to mention the state of GA opened up. I wonder if that is part of the Bills thinking. Get a jump on practice with everyone involved.

The practice would be in Rochester or wherever the Bills end up having TC. We host the falcons.

We took the kids to some Bucs practices in Orlando. I’m surprised nobody died. Unbearably hot!

Who on the Falcons is a free agent next year? You know Beane is always thinking ahead!

You bring up a good point. With the situation in Atlanta there could be an entire FO and coaching change after this season. They have been running very close to the cap for years. It could be a house cleaning after the season and Beane and McDermott would have first hand knowledge of any vet cuts or FA.

Hope they practice in Atlanta since I live here. Wondering if they are looking to move training camp with the potential restrictions in NY?

They will be practicing in Rochester or wherever the Bills have camp this year unless they actually move the game too

Why can’t the Bills come here???  Damn.

That was my first thought too—last year went up to Spartanburg, this year if they came to the A, would’ve been even more fantastic, social distancing notwithstanding...

Georgia is one of the worst states in the country at handeling the virus in the country. last thing we need is our team and staff flying down there for a scrimmage. 

And New York isn’t? ???

Pen field is right in that GA has lightened restrictions, but the incidence is still rising in the Atlanta area.  Some parts in Central GA are better, but if I were the Bills and they are attempting to pursue some type of real camp, they should find one of the lowest areas in the Midwest for all of camp.  At this point, there is almost no point in making predictions as ever changing.

The would probably have camp in Nashville if they did that.

Unscientific research points to somewhere in the Charlotte, N.C. area...?

With the changes to substance abuse policy by the league, what exactly do they mean by 'joint practice'?

My vote is Jackson Hole, Wyoming.  No one is getting sick out there if they all come in tested and temp checks everyday including hotel staff etc.  One case can kill camp for two weeks.  I’m sure the Pegulas can make a serious donation to a high school that is huge in football so a good weight room, fields, etc.

Like say Iowa or South Dakota? Actually Coronavirus cases are increasing sharply in the heartland.

I hope that it is all or nothing for the NFL and not by region. Where NY, Mchigan, Cali teams have to hold off because of state restrictions, but the Falcons can hold camp business as usual. The NFL needs to level the playing field for the season. It is in the best interest of the product.

The per capita positive rate in Teton County (.31%) is greater than in Monroe County NY (.25%).

anytime anything happens here in Wyoming our % of it happening in our population skyrockets because there's so damn few of us.
