Punching Bag Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Ironic that the team with one of the worst vaccinate rates has NFL stadium, only one in NYS, named after insurance company predominant in NYS. Makes you wonder if they would have paid if they knew this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat68 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Imo Steven Simms was a bit of an eye opener for him. Similar size, similar strengths. He is good but not above replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say "That's Great News, I'm so happy to hear that! I'm gonna sleep a bit better tonight!" Demonizing people who aren’t vaccinated and admonishing those who take awhile to come around is just a bad idea all around. You’re just creating unneeded tension and animosity. 3 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigK14094 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) Better late than never imho. On a more serious note, I think the Bills team environment has a flaw.....they are being to nice to each other....the leaders that are vaccinated need to call out the unvax folks for risking the season team result. Now, a religious objection is something else, but I would be looking at the fine print on the player contract and the league/players assoication contract. I was once in a corporate environment like that, where the team was to nice to each other....we got called out by an external advisor, and we stepped up our game in terms of internal constructive criticism.

Based on the timeline of when the players returned isn't likely that Milano is already vaccinated? He and Klein returned earlier than the others though I guess that could be due to other factors.

They probably told him, "Get the shot and the slot position is yours after we cut Beasley's prick-less arm!" 🤣 Beasley is not gonna be cut for being prick-less. It is possible, if Beasley keeps on with the factually-incorrect, reality-doubting Twitters like: isn't more vigilant with his masking in the facility, and hits a 4 game suspension, he might get cut for "conduct detrimental" Facts: It's a point that these data may be missing some asymptomatic infections that aren't detected using the NFL's current 14 day testing cadence. How many those might be is probably beyond the scope here. It's probably an over-estimate. Saying "at least had the shots and hadn't made it to that point yet" is like saying "I almost scored a TD, except I fumbled on the 3 yard line". There's a reason it doesn't count. As an aside, I keep reading Beasley's tweets and my fingers start twitching towards making an account so I could send him some stuff Then I decide to do something more constructive and less frustrating, like clean the basement, or weed the sidewalk. I cancelled my IG account - I was starting to DM people, which was fun in its way, but I swore I never would. Sidewalk Ho! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malazan Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 That's a 1.89% increase in vaccination when the roster is at 53. Hopefully, it inspires others on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some players could lose a million dollars per game. Some a couple hundred thousand. For the common good was front and center six months ago. The economics just became front and center. The eye test is economics being the factor, but who knows for certain? McKenzie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He picked a bad day of the week to get it. That means second shot will be the day before a game? I couldn't get out of bed the day after let alone play football. Do they allow flexibility on when you get the second or does it have to be exactly three weeks? He'll either be inactive or on post 53 IR on opening day. He's probably got at least a 1 month injury.

HappyDays Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) For anyone who has questioned the NFL's covid policy, we know for sure of 2 players on the Bills that got the vaccine to avoid the restrictions - Sanders and McKenzie. Surely there are many other players in the league that decided to get vaccinated for the same reason. This is all the NFL wanted. The policy is imperfect but it is working as intended.

Punching Bag Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Avoid the restrictions or avoid the fines/loss of money? I think it is possible that McKenzie who has a one year contract realized the Bills were looking at availably and with him possibly missing games due to injury decided to make plunge now.

(pushed each other) We really don't know what's going on inside the meeting rooms and inside the clubhouse. Remember, McDermott is the one who was observed getting all up in Matt Fairburn's face chest-to-chest and chewing him out "Are you With Us, or Against Us?" for some reason - I don't remember the specifics.....Fairburn has an MMA background IIR and was un-flapped by it, but I think it was a momentary glance at the inner Sean Mcdermott. Point is, McDermott comes across as a level-headed and patient man in front of the press, but he is still a successful HS wrestler, a college football player who made good as a walk on, and a football coach wrangling players who are a good foot taller and twice his mass. I wouldn't bet the rent that hes all sweetness and nice in private. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt pretty rough for four hours or so roughly 24 hours after the second shot. I just assumed my new battery was running low while my bloodstream was searching for a 5G signal. All good the next morning. Yeah, it takes Bill Gates a few hours before he is fully acclimated to his new body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably got at least a 1 month injury. That could be true, but it's not what the injury report is saying. If it's an AC joint sprain, it seemed to affect Allen for about a month. It's possible he's out for the season opener then back. BangedupBills says "He is still very much in play to play Week 1, the next week of practice will be key to watch. " Joe Buscaglia had him going on IR but Joe never said what information or evidence he has that it's "at least a 1 month injury" Assuming neither of them have solid info from the team or McK, I put Kyle Trimble injury assessment >> Joe Buscaglia injury assessment.
