Agreed, but that overall body of work against them from McD is still disappointing, but much moreso if we lose on Sunday. That was mostly my point there. There isn’t some kind of talent disparity this year to be “ok” with going 0-2 against them in games with basically the season on the line. And we have the better QB. 0-2 vs them this year with the stakes and QB situations would say a lot unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galept Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 2 minutes ago, CincyBillsFan said: Yes but in reality they are still missing games. My understanding is that both Washington & the Browns starting and backup QB's were fully vaccinated yet still missed their games. And I'm not saying it wouldn't have been better if Beasley & Davis were both vaccinated. It would have been as the CHANCE they could come back sooner is real. But the crisis facing the NFL is not caused by the unvaccianted. Plenty of the vaccinated are missing games and it's only going to get worse if the NFL doesn't change the rules. I think we're all aware that vaccinated people can get it. I think we're also aware of how being vaccinated allows you the chance to come back sooner. Davis is illogically drawing the line with this shot, and to me that is unacceptable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Universal vaccination isn't fixing this. Give better answers. There is no universal vaccination. We’d be a lot better off if there were.

We are still averaging over 1000 deaths a day from covid and no other virus comes close to that. If the health and safety of the payers was the primary issue, the NFL would suspend or cancel the season. It's hard to imagine a more fruitful cocktail for spreading the virus than an NFL game with fans in attendance. Since that doesn't seem likely to occur, the league will field criticism regardless of what direction it goes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many vaxxed players in the NFL have tested positive ? Yeah, you deciding not to answer my question is answer enough. It's very simple - unvaccinated players have been at greater risk of missing time since the offseason. I'm not even discussing the merits of the protocol. I'm just saying it is a plain fact that failing to get the vaccine put him at a disadvantage, and with the newest protocol that is still the case. It is equivalent to him choosing to smoke marijuana to manage his pain and risk getting called for a random drug test. I don't personally agree with the NFL's marijuana policy but if he got caught it would still be his fault because that is the rule. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF Bills Fan Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 The Pats are missing guys too. We are a capable squad and can still win. Out D is #1. We have the better QB. Diggs, Sanders, McKenzie and Kumerow and Dawson are still better than what they got. I think we will see an aggressive and creative game plan. If we lose I don't want it to be because we are conservative. If anything, I think this crisis rallies them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple haze Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 1 minute ago, Figster said: This ^^^^^^^ Safeties back up, run crossing routes with Diggs, Sanders and McKenzie behind the LB’s. If the backers get good depth, screen game the hell out of them with Motor, Breida or Knox. They can also run Bootleg action with Allen right. Line up Stevenson, Diggs and Knox opposite side. Knox runs a crosser right to try to draw the safety up. Diggs runs a post-corner; Stevenson runs a post. Puts safety on that side in distress. The bootleg action will make those LB’s bite because Allen could run. Someone is open. Allen just has to hit it. All types of ways to still win this chess match and the division. Missing certain players is not optimal, but winning is far from impossible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Blitz Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 https://www.foxnews.com/sports/nfl-medical-officer-asymptomatic-not-spreading-covid "As we’ve gone back and looked throughout the entire season, what we’ve seen consistently is that when people have symptoms, that’s when they seem to be contagious to others," he said. "And that’s why we’re asking people to come forward and acknowledge symptoms because that’s the point at which they’re vulnerable and the point at which they expose themselves to others." Is it fair to ask that if the vaccinated feel superhuman with their new superhuman powers that sniffles or coughs were downplayed bc they were vaccinated. Unfortunately, still a spreader. Because they were told otherwise when they got it in July. They weren't tested like the vile unvaccinated. Best answers we have right now might not be ones you want to hear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
