If a player can go without further injury risk, they need to go. It's very likely that the Buffalo and Pittsburgh games will have playoff implications. The Texans for sure. But, if a player isn't ready, no way I risk the longterm.
Don't think there's anything you can do regarding players with covid other than wait on them to test negative consistently. You're risking our entire season if you rush them back and they continue to spread it.
My fear is without regular practice I think players will be more prone to muscle injuries. Even at full strength, but with no practice, we might take the L against the Bills. I do agree that this game has larger playoff implications than the Texans. We want the tie breaker, but I don't want to risk injuries. I think I'm leaning towards letting Lewan, AJB, Simmons, and some of the rest take the game off.
Right. So let's say, for example, that Simmons test negative today and tomorrow. Without any practice, do you want him to play tomorrow?
I think our team as a whole the first 3 weeks looks to get tired in the 3rd and 4th quarters. Especially our D. So conditioning may be a factor. So maybe I'd activate them, but give them limited snaps. I'd rather take caution and be at full strength and preparation for the Texans.
Robinson on 104.5 now talking about it. At work did not get hear much of it, but what I heard sounded pretty good.
Listened to the whole interview on 102.5....certainly sounds like he thinks we will get a few more players released by the doctors to play tomorrow... said symptoms have ranged from asymptomatic to guys with fever, chills and cough...said that only protocol issues have been with guys not wearing masks correctly in the building.
Honestly, the conditioning happens before the season and, if they are choosing to not condition while the facility is closed, that's on them. I have a problem with any professional athlete not being in condition unless coming off injury (like Brown and Jackson) and even then, those guys probably have been doing low-impact workouts.
If Simmons is healthy, he needs to play. He knows the calls. He should be ready to go. I don't know Lewan's situation but he has been a full participant at practice.
Again, if you can't go, you can't go. No need to risk anything long-term.

Fulton is another we really need to clear the protocol. When they go 5 wide, and they do alot, I just do not see how we are going to be able to cover them.
When players are taken off the reserve/covid designation, does this mean they are fit, or does it just mean they dont have covid anymore?
I think theres an important difference.
Take big Jeff. Lets say hes been banged up for 2 weeks with a pretty nasty flu, thats sapped his energy. Hes lost 20-30 pounds.
If its the latter in my example, he may not have covid, but may be a fair way away from being ready to play again.

The #Titans and #Bills always play each other close.
8 of their 9 regular season meetings have been decided by 7 pts or less.
That other game? The Titans won 41-17...wearing Oilers throwbacks.

Let's hope.the bills sleep on us figuring the whole covid fiasco. They come out flat and we jump on them early then beat them up with Henry.
beautiful
I'm really getting worn out on White Top, Navy Bottom...
Nobody knows the severity of illness experienced by the Covid + players. They simply had a positive test reported.
These are professional athletes. They play through the flu and colds all the time. If they are on the field, then the player and coaches feel they are ready to play at a level that helps and not hurts the team. Let's not over complicate the issue. God knows everything else about Covid has been.
Let's hope the Bills play their best game of the season and we still beat them.. I dont want to hear any excuses
