machine gun kelly Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 So there are if you include practice squad roughly 2000 players, and this is the only one who spills we could be looking at something sweeping like 7 on 7, flag, whatever. How about maybe he is referring to headsets in all the players, no huddling, long sleeve under armor shirts, face shields, mandatory gloves, and so on. Someone like Schaffer would announce if things were sweepingly changing. This is much ado about nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works in Josh's benefit. Send everybody streaking down field, after 40 mississippis, he would have nothing but open field. Another important question. 2 completions for a first down?

Dr.Mantis_Toboggan Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 IF they delay the start of the season, remove fans for the year, hopefully develop some PPE for the players, as well as enforce strict rules during the season as it pertains to players going to mass gatherings that aren’t team related, the season will still be played. IF states simply crackdown on simple things like wearing a mask, social distancing, restrict large group activities, etc., for long enough (and don’t rush to be the first to re-open, Texas), then there is no reason for the rest of the states currently spiking to not to fall to the levels of New York, or better... It truly is bewildering how so many people and states as a whole, chose to politicize a pandemic rather than take heed to the ugly reality of this virus playing out right in there own country as it ravaged NYC. Dangerous times when people prioritize political ideologies over the general health and well being of themselves and most importantly, their fellow person.

Hey Doc, I live in one of the dumb states to reopen too early in FL, and now we are back to no bars open, masks everywhere, and so on. I can only hope our cases start dropping like NYS. I grew up in Buffalo, and went to Oswego for undergrad at least so over half my fraternity brothers were from downstate. Makes me sick what happened to people in NYC, and a lot of my friends in medicine as I’m on the sales side, moved up there for a couple of months to help at the epicenter at least in the US. As far as the politics and misinformation, it’s caused me to sparingly watch the news. It’s just ridiculously confusing all of the stories changing each week, and turning a pandemic into a political argument. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillies Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Robot football. Each team makes their own style with special features (like spinning saws out the legs, or steel daggers all over) and similar paint jobs for "uniforms", and then hire a bunch of nerdy fans to control each of the robot players 11 x 11. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll hit 4,000,000 Covid19 cases in USA by end of July alone, and this thing is just getting revved up now. ok and? any number multiplied by .05 gets pretty small and insignificant. Or if your talking deaths and not just symptoms you can use .03...or even .01 if your talking about people under 40 like the players who mostly all are. So for a risk that means 99.99% of infections will result in no deaths or even symptoms we should cancel the season? If I had a spray that killed 99.99 percent of covid virus youd buy it. But if it only killed .01% of germs would you call it effective? Thats what coronas effectivity is, so why is it considered dangerous and fearsome? I would say there is a higher probability of dying while driving after 2am on any given night. Every year it seems a player dies in some accident of some kind, should all players be banned from driving or going out after 2AM? We live with risk always. Why not let players decide. Do you really think that any of them want to give up millions this year to hide from something that could maybe possibly give them some flu symptoms? They've been taking PEDs for years which shorten their life spans and have risked CTE as well for the chance to be millionaires and enjoy life. Why are cases so important? If a few deaths result from the thousands of cases, then so be it, thats life, illness has always existed and this isnt worse than many that came before and killed nearly all whom it infected ie. Ebola, the plague etc. Even aids had a higher death rate in the beginning, much higher. What did the NBA do with that? I dont remember a season being canceled for that. Cases are like suspects, a murder could have hundreds of suspects, but in the end if 1 person is convicted and 1 person was murdered, thats the number that matters, 1! these cases can be false positives, or even better many positives could mean many people with immunity and a quicker end to the virus. If your all waiting for an end to the virus it wont be this year or next and at this rate. With lockdowns it could slow the spread and keep it around for several years before it peters out. Are you going to keep counting your "cases" for the next 7 years or is it time to go on with our lives? I mean how did we ever win world war II with this attitude? Where we sent our youth to their highly probable deaths to protect our way of life. Meanwhile, today we take away our way of life and our once healthy economy from our youth to protect who exactly? .01% of the population? A group of people who more or less got to live a full healthy life in a prosperous America? Why is this so backwards? I mean if the virus killed 99.99% of victims and .01% survived Id understand the other sides argument. But it isnt 99.99 vs .01 its the other way around , and that number couldnt be anymore lopsided or unsubstantiating for the argument of having lockdowns or canceling the season this year. Go Bills! Seriously, Go out and play! Bills. Edited July 8, 2020 by Reneth Gilne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
