SectionC3 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 3 minutes ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: What? Yeah. Me too. A lot of these guys have kids in schools. So do I. It’s sort of bubbling in OP schools—two in one building, three in another, a few more in a third—every day. Personally I think it spreads on the bus, which is why I’m worried about it coming home to some of these guys and then spreading within the team. And, on top of that, I suspect that at least some of them had family in town last week for Christmas. So that’s another (football) concern.

You’re being a bit dramatic with “he might be”. He’s young and in great physical condition. He is going to be fine. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolishDave Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I wonder how long it will take before Beasley fires up his Twitter account again and starts throwing jabs? The Bills should send him to remote Alaska (off-grid) to quarantine for the next 10 days. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DapperCam Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 McKenzie might actually play better in the slot than Beasley has.

GaryPinC Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 2 minutes ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: I don't think it's "inevitable", but I think it's very likely given the NFL's change in policy to only test players with self-reported symptoms. They are betting the season on the belief that asymptomatic players won't be contagious. I think they are betting the season on the belief that most of the vaccinated infected players will be asymptomatic/mildly symptomatic and play through it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 10 minutes ago, SectionC3 said: Sure. But that’s obviously not what you implied. And you also ignored the reality that the unvaccinated are more likely to be infected with COVID. Let’s just leave it at that. No, that's not what I implied. And I ignored nothing. My simple statement was that everyone is getting this regardless of ones vaccination status and that has everything to do with the availability of a player. My post from the last couple days have been consistent with that stance. You're the one trying to open the can of worms here. My view is strictly on football and the availibility of players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I expect Kumerow to step up big time from this. McKenzie might see some more snaps, but I don't see him get a big bump in snaps. Here's to Gabe lighting it up!!! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 The Pats may be without a few receivers also. This is hardly insurmountable. I wouldn't mind seeing Hodgins brought up - but they can still be potent w/ what they have, and it would be cool to see Stevenson in on some plays to stretch the field. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omicron is gonna give ammo to both sides of the vax debate because tons of vaccinated people I know are getting it…some with boosters even I think both. Vaccinated people will get it but symptoms will be milder. If he is vaccinated he has a chance to play Sunday. I'm sure he'll be fine.

HamSandwhich Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Everyone is hilarious on this thread. People are testing positive regardless of vaccine status. What does it matter?

oldmanfan Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I hope he does not contract a serious case. He has a family. That is the primary concern, football be damned. Having said that, I stated at the outset of this season Covid would cost us a shot at a title. And I am sure there are fans of each team saying the same. This year’s champion will likely have nothing to do with who the best team is, it will have to do with who gets the virus and/or the randomness of who of the vaccinated players get tested and turn up positive or negative. Total crap shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff1954 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) Firstly, I hope all the players and their families are okay. They are all people first and football players second. Secondary matter: Given the huge difference in the way the NFL treats vaccinated and unvaccinated players and the statistically somewhat likely difference in severity and duration of symptoms between the vaccinated and unvaccinated, the Bills have been walking a finer path than most teams all season. We have tripped off that path in the week leading to our most crucial game of the season. This is why the anti-vax stance of some team members was irresponsible from a football point of view.

Success Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 If we have Diggs, Knox & Davis, we're fine. There will be a drop-off, but we have capable receivers who can fill in for Beasley. This is not the end of the world. I'm more concerned about headlines that we might see in the next few days. The attrition needs to stay relatively even. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, it may help Cole getting a little break— he has been banged up a lot this year. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
