Gabe Davis on covid list

[george c]

Allen is still playing. After that, it’s all up to the coaches to use the tools left.

Sure, we can do that that sometimes, but not all game.  It more about personnel, not the scheme.  Besides, I think BB might figure that out pretty quickly.  We just don’t have a good “heavy” package. No blocking TEs and no blocking FB.  Maybe a hybrid player like Gilliam can help?  
 

Daboll will need to be diverse in packages and playcall.  Execution has to be better too. 
 

 

Yeah, why did they give up a Lee Smith at least he could block.

I'm sick & tired of the unvaxxed doing this to their teammates.

 

Until an unvaxxed player unequivocally states that they have never ingested a prescription drug or taken a single injection for anything and have only taken vitamin et al to combat any physical or or health issues they have had, anything they say is BULL!!!!!!!!

 

They have let down their teammates and yes though they may not care their fans.

These players owe it to the team take all reasonable efforts to be ready to play each week.  They rehab like crazy, play with broken hands, torn MCL... but won't get a simple vaccine to greatly increase the odds of missing as few games as possible.

 

I have to think that some vaccinated players are pissed that their teammates didn't make every effort available to be ready to play in the biggest game of the season.

Seriously, can we institute the 5-mississippi rule?

 

Man I'd die for the 5 Mississippi rule if our entire oline was healthy lol. That's a lot of time!

Star Lotulelei will miss a second practice for "Personal Reasons" - WTF?

 

Time to cut bait - guaranteed the "personal" is related to not wanting to be exposed to the variant. Trade him post season or just eat the dead cap for next year.

[Process]

He's unvaxed too? Holy **** this team is a joke.

My biggest concern is when does it end. I'm expecting more.

Horribly disappointing. Davis has had all kinds of shots in his life, and blows to his head, but this vaccination is where he draws the line for some horribly illogical reason.

 

I don't know how he can look at his teammates, his coaches, and the fans, and be proud of his decision.

That rule is so archaic...with monoclonals, the virus can be knocked out in 2 days...NFL needs to get with the times...👍

Feliciano took that treatment earlier this week, is he cleared to play?

Do we know that for sure?  What is the basis for this belief?

 

If vaccinated, Davis would still be tested:

1) if chosen "randomly" by the testing company

2) if he had symptoms

 

See above.

Schefter posted that he’s not vaccinated.

Don’t want to get into a vaccination debate, but omicron is claiming both vaccinated and unvaccinated equally. And based even on the NFL protocols, no one is coming back early.

Yup lots of us were saying that going into the season and right on time your two knuckleheads in Beasley and Davis getting COVID right on time. Real team players those guys.

Why does this matter? We’re playing to win the game, not to get pats fans and the media to talk about our valiant effort. 
 

Weird takeaway.

Yes and Hodgins was protected on the PS this week so expect him to be elevated

 

im not really worried about Josh’s weapons. Moreso the OL but looks like bates will get a shot

Agreed.  Beane gambled the season away on un-vaxxed players.  Loudmouth un-vaxxed players to boot.  It’s clear he saw this coming based on his comments about un-vaxxed players that got him in hot water.  But he did nothing about it.  Wonder if DeMaurice Smith still thinks Beane’s comments were idiotic.  

[Andy1]

Bye bye season hopes. Players should be on lockdown wearing N95 masks if they must go out.

Doesn't matter. Protocols allow vaxxed players to return much faster.

Nobody thinks that. Brady lost his top weapons and scored zero points for just the second time in his career. Luckily we still have Diggs and Sanders and McKenzie. Not an elite group by any means but it's good enough to get by with. I'm much more concerned about the state of the o-line. Allen will have to run like crazy in this game. I hope his foot is fully healed.

Daboll just needs to run a safe quick strike pass attack. 2-3 step drops and short slants. Josh will not have the time for long developing routes.

With the latest variants vaccination no longer prevents covid spread.  What vaccination does do is reduce symptom intensity, hospital visits and deaths.  So unless the very few unvaccinated players in the NFL are getting sick & being hospitalized I don't see what their vaccine decision has to do with not playing. 

 

The fact is that the NFL should be changing it's rules on the fly.  They need to adopt practical rules that will allow those that CAN play to play regardless of their covid status.  They should treat this like the flu where if you're really sick you don't play but if the symptoms are mild you can play.

 

I just don't see the logic in blaming unvaccinated players for the current #### storm when over 97% of the players are vaccinated.  In the face of the new covid variants it's the rules the NFL has adopted that are the problem here NOT the unvaccinated players.

So pause the season - much as I hate the Browns, wasn't really fair what happened and is still happening to them.

Sucks, for sure. Other teams win games missing players due to COVID or injury. Time to hope Beane built a strong 53 man roster with COVID in mind. McK and Kumerow....time to earn your pay check

 
While I hate that any are out, I actually am not that worried about the WR position. Our back-ups are solid there.
 

The bigger issue is Ford, if no Dawkins or Feliciano, our o-line is getting very thin. …. Bates, Doyle, opportunity and time to step up and produce.

Another anti vaxer so he will miss next week too.  Unless he changed his mind.  

Doesn’t really seem to matter anymore.   
 

Just depends when the positive test occurs.   Most players, regardless, are missing 1-2 games.

Did nothing about it? What did you expect, he can’t mandate it. Cut starters?

Some fans just seem to somehow ignore that every team in the league is dealing with this, most players vaccinated, and everyone is still missing 1-2 games.

Ok, so then he still has a chance to play Sunday...

[Sammy Watkins' Rib]

Two of our top 3 receiving threats out. LT still out. LG out still? We are so screwed. 

 

Defense is going to have to ball out and  create turnovers. Takeaways have really dried up in all of the Bills losses this year.

 

Let's go Kumerow and McKenzie.

I think the Vinings should have cut Dalvin Cook.  It was the only way forward.

I feel like I wanna hurl but the bile is just churning......yeah thats very graphic but to say this news is disappointing in an understatement .....This is too stressful a news for Christmas Eve y'all
