Steelers play the Colts, Bills get a bye. It's the only fair solution. this will never happen but we can keep dreaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 12 hours ago, Big Turk said: So when the players who are asymptomatic give it to the other team and then the other team plays next week and gives it to that team we are just going to have a chain reaction that goes through the entire league? That is just not thought out well. So in fact you want them to play with players who are likely positive to give it to the Steelers who then play the Bills if we both win so the Bills can then have an active outbreak? Yeah, NOOOOOOOOOOO! A lot of statements get made, which sometimes have little data backing them up. The NFL has 17 weeks of covid-19 data now from players facing off against each other, including players who test positive the next day. They are having viral genomes of positive players sequenced, which lets them actually trace whether 5 infections (say) are progressing through the building or came in 5 times from outside. Nice to be them, but I digress. So far they have apparently NOT found a case where an infection transfers from a player to an opponent on the field. They're not that close to each other for that long. In theory it could happen, but apparently hasn't yet. So you likely won't see a "chain reaction that goes through the entire league". There are close contacts during travel or during the game, to coaches or players on the same team who are close contacts - for example sitting next to the same players on the sidelines for the entire game, not properly masked. 1 hour ago, Warcodered said: That poor lawyer.

Nowhere to go basically. Even in Ohio, the curfew for bars and similar places is like 10 pm— which is why it’s sort of surprising that the Browns have Been able to get in trouble over the last few days (eg, Baker and Hunt at bar; Higgins and their LT racing).

1ManRaid Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 10 hours ago, chknwing334 said: Based on the way the Browns seem to be conducting themselves and the rumors of players breaking protocol and going out to celebrate (I realize these are just rumors), they may just be happy that they made the playoffs and satisfied with their season at this point. Watching and listening to the Bills players lately you can tell their attitude is much different this season based on the fact that they all expect to be a superbowl contender. Just rumors? Baker's own wife posted a pic to Instagram of them out at a bar celebrating their playoff berth. I'd call accusations of Browns players being irresponsible confirmed, not a rumor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 9 hours ago, Domitian said: These are extremely different situations that really aren't comparable...yet. Titans had COVID spreading through their lockerroom hitting new players every day. They had to push games to stop the spread within the team AND to others. Browns positive tests thus far (until today) have all ben isolated where the players/coaches contracted it from outside and the virus was not spreading from player to player. Extremely different scenario. Remains to be seen about today's positive tests though. The league hasn't played favorites. Intra-team outbreaks are treated differently than isolated contraction from outside and have been all year. That's the league's "story" and they're sticking to it. Another factor is that the Titans outbreak was one of the first, and the league had less information then about whether covid would spread to opponents on the field.

Are they careless or selfishly not doing all they can to stay safe? Are they following all of the protocols? They have some players that I do not think too highly of, so my opinion is probably a little biased. I have a hard time feeling sorry for Baker, Landry, and the Browns.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 12 hours ago, Figster said: From a safe and social distancing standpoint its impossible to tell whats really happening in the picture IMO. I think its very possible any owner of an establishment in Cleveland may offer Baker Mayfield a safe and isolated part of the building to wine and Dine IMO. In that picture, I agree, you can't tell what's going on. But if the member who posted the link says his friends saw Baker, wife, Kareem, and other players out at a bar/restaurant, they probably weren't in a "safe and isolated part of the building" ..... they were also perhaps violating the NFL protocol against gathering outside the facility, I believe. But I acknowledge NFL policies change and I can't keep track. 20 minutes ago, 1ManRaid said: It's linked in the thread? I saw that.

I am not sure what the odds on that would be, but I would suspect pretty low. Well then, according to the Sherlock Holmes precept "when we eliminate the improbable......" My guess would be, maybe they aren't trying too hard to be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Good luck to Alex Van Pelt who will be the OC doing game plan and making offense calls for game vs Pittsburgh.
