BarleyNY Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 5 hours ago, DCofNC said: This was my point, I’m FAR from an athlete of their level and I struggled to just get back to “normal”. Covid is real, regardless of your views about it, ideas on the vax etc. , it is miserable crap. I couldn’t believe it took some of these athletes so long to return to action, then I got it and yeah, I get it now. It’s not as simple as the flu, it can linger for what seems like forever. My wife can attest to this as well. She got hit with it in October 2020 and she still isn’t 100%. She works out most days and is in generally good shape and health, but it’s still been a rough road back for her with exhaustion. She still has issues with smelling too.

Out of respect for your wife's Covid struggle, I'll refrain from making any wise a$$ remarks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warcodered Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I mean if nothing else he's basically starting weeks late so in that sense he's got a long way to catch up, but who knows with Covid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyBatty is alive Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 1 hour ago, DCofNC said: Yeah, but it sounds like Dion is suffering pretty hard from it too, which is probably the “hitting those that it needs to hit” that he’s speaking of. I feel for him, it’s not fun. In context to the team, it may not be life threatening for 99.999999% of NFL athletes, but it sure can jack up your season. If anybody is on the fence about the vax, I’m sure Dion’s condition will be used an example to push them to get it. NFL careers are short, flirting with fire is probably not worth it. Guys will have weigh the options and decide what is right for them. I just hope everyone stays healthy and is able to perform at their best, for themselves and the team’s sake. Did <McDermott actually say that? As if he is happy it hit him? I thought McDermott was smarter than to say something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son sadly is a anti vaxer....or at least he was In great athletic shape.....was training for a power lifting meet in Las Vegas got hit with the Covid 2 weeks ago and had to pull out of the competition because he got VERY sick I felt bad for him but I have been trying to tell him for months to get vaxed.....now he wishes he had 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 A bit worried about Dawkins but there is still weeks before the opener, hopefully Brown or Ford can step in and get some reps in preseason at LT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely Ford will take RT and Williams left. Bills may have same situation they had last year with unable to keep same OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when he said "“hitting those that it needs to hit” the operative word is "it", not he hopes it (meaning the message NOT covid) hits those need to hit to be hit.

So when he said "“hitting those that it needs to hit” the operative word is "it", not he hopes it (meaning the message NOT covid) hits those need to hit to be hit. He never said that in the first place so everyone can relax about his wording. It was just paraphrasing by DCofNC. The quote was posted on the previous page of this thread. Quote “He’s not close to where he needs to be to play and help us,” McDermott said, via Jay Skurski of the Buffalo News. “He’s got a long road here. He’s going to control what he can control, and so are we. He’s got to continue to work hard to get himself back to where he’s — I mean, this is what, going on week four of training camp at this point? So, he’s missed a lot of time.” McDermott noted that there are “teachable moments as far as COVID goes” and that he hopes the situation “resonates with the people it needs to resonate with” as the Bills head toward the regular season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
