Have to check, but, I don’t think the off-season is over yet...

I too would be thrilled if they traded for Kuemper, but doesn’t look likely.

Well that door hasn't shut yet. There is still time, they have kept the line of communication open with Arizona.

Or, he is fed up with morons not knowing how to read or have comprehension to understand basic concepts? We are over 6 months into a pandemic and people are still confused about what's going on and denying that the virus exists - Even on their literal death beds. I honestly wish it was a virus that attacked stupidity, because there are way too many absolute idiots in this world.

The guy followed Trump's CDC guidelines and got blamed for about 10,000 elderly people dying in nursing homes - But he also took drastic measures before anyone else did in the country and possibly saved MILLIONS of people's lives because of it.

People make mistakes - Administrations make broad and generalized laws with the larger population in mind. There was no way to save everyone, there were always going to be people who were more susceptible and those people happened to be the elderly, obese and diseased. Alternatively, if America wasn't a complete cess-pool of mouth-breathing fat-asses who think they know everything, maybe less people would have lost their lives and I don't care how harsh that sounds, it's the truth.

Our dumb-ass president got it after refusing to wear a mask and denying it existed and he almost died - If he wasn't the president and didn't have access to the best doctors and health-care in the country, he would have choked on his own boogers.

Cuomo took action sooner than anyone in the country, and he did the right thing, like it or not. Small businesses aren't dying because of unfair laws, they're dying because morons elected people like Ronald Regan as president and let our government and corporations divide and conquer unions and small businesses for almost half a century.

Wake the (frank) up.

The "Cuomo was only following CDC guidelines" argument is ridiculous. Florida, who has a more elderly and more vulnerable population, and who everyone wants to vilify for its response to the virus, never had anywhere near this problem. Why? Because they used common sense and focused on protecting the elderly first. Cuomo, Whitmer and others didn't do that. Plain and simple.

At this point we're talking about a disease that has above a 99% recovery rate. For the vast majority of the population, getting this virus is nowhere near a death sentence. It's time to stop acting like it is. If your more vulnerable, take extra precautions. The rest of us need to get back to work.

There are many reasons I can't wait for 2020 to end, but the Bills-Dolphins game on January 3rd, 2021 is probably at the top of the list.

This is your best (and only ?) post ever. Thank you for this. I suppose some locals in this comment section would prefer having the Governor of S Dakota, Wisconsin, or Iowa instead ? Check out their Covid19 positivity rates and then tell me Cuomo's doing a bad job. And the only reason we as a state aren't below 2% at this moment is because of freakin' Erie County residents who don't follow the mask and social distancing rules. Erie County positivity rate is the highest in the state. I believe Hamburg alone is close to 9%.

Agreed, but part of me loathes the fact that the Dolphins are anywhere near the top this quickly given how long it took the Bills to get out of the quagmire they were in.

Bill O’Brian was such a disaster that even with a top 10 QB the Texans are a disaster.

While in the process he rebuilt the Cardinals and Dolphins with stupid trades.

Dolphins have the Texans picks this year too which is looking like a top 10 selection at the very least in the Tunsil trade.

Early on, patients with both mild and severe Covid-19 say they can’t breathe. Now, after recovering from the infection, some of them say they can’t think.

Even people who were never sick enough to go to a hospital, much less lie in an ICU bed with a ventilator, report feeling something as ill-defined as “Covid fog” or as frightening as numbed limbs. They’re unable to carry on with their lives, exhausted by crossing the street, fumbling for words, or laid low by depression, anxiety, or PTSD.

As many as 1 in 3 patients recovering from Covid-19 could experience neurological or psychological after-effects of their infections, experts told STAT, reflecting a growing consensus that the disease can have lasting impact on the brain. Beyond the fatigue felt by “long haulers” as they heal post-Covid, these neuropsychological problems range from headache, dizziness, and lingering loss of smell or taste to mood disorders and deeper cognitive impairment. Dating to early reports from China and Europe, clinicians have seen people suffer from depression and anxiety. Muscle weakness and nerve damage sometimes mean they can’t walk.

“It’s not only an acute problem. This is going to be a chronic illness,” said Wes Ely, a pulmonologist and critical care physician at Vanderbilt University Medical Center who studies delirium during intensive care stays. “The problem for these people is not over when they leave the hospital.”

It's me.

i come here for the hot takes.. this place has been unbearable for about a month and i haven't posted in a long time.. i think i will continue to stay away untill something Sabres related happens.

point 1: ny was the first to get hit and they got crushed...to use florida in march and april as a comparison is misleading as the weather is generally conducive to being outdoors...go to the summer when ny was outside and fla, tx, az and other warm weather states were indoors in air conditioning and those sun belt cities were getting slammed while ny and northern states had lower case loads...and, in addition, by the time the sun belt was getting hit, much more was known about the virus...

that said, you're asking hospitals to get crushed as covid patients combine with flu and other winter sicknesses and you're not even taking into consideration health care workers who are getting hit as well...that depletes staffing levels putting even more undue pressure on those still standing...

point 2: 1% of 330,000,000 is 3.3 million people

the scott "quack" atlas approach of herd immunity and the bone-headedness of people who still don't believe that the spread of this virus can be mitigated with something as simple as wearing a mask is dangerous...pure herd immunity, which isn't considered to be a viable approach because we're not even sure if this virus could come back, would devastate a large swath of the 1% you're talking about...if not more

finally: the only thing plain and simple is that masks help mitigate the spread of the virus...but it's apparently not plain and simple for large swaths of people who may not even believe this pandemic is real

Similar to the Leafs and Sabres, although watching the Leafs imp,ode every year in Round 1 is very, very entertaining and satisfying. Just wish the Blue & Gold could actually sniff the playoffs, lol.

I said last year that Miamai had a very good coaching staff and with the number if draft picks in 2020 and 2021 they could be very tough sooner than later. Who knew this soon though, wow.

I honestly get how young people do not want to go to extreme measures.

While you can debate the long-term effects, there's no doubt that this thing is more dangerous for older people than younger people.

If I was a 25 year old American with $100,000 in student debt, and I was being asked to basically destroy my economic future in the near/middle term to help stop the spread of the corona virus - predominantly so that retired people don't die, my first question would be, "What are those 60+ aged people also sacrificing? Why is my generation bearing the full brunt of this shutdown?"

I get it. I sincerely do. And quite frankly, I don't have an answer to the questions above.

But not wearing a mask? It's just pure stupidity. There won't be an economic recovery until the virus is brought under control.

Would be nice if some form of quantative analysis was actually conducted.
Is this a problem for 90%?, 50%? Or 0.2%?
Does it last a week? A month? Indefinite (so far)?
It would make a difference to me.
Without proper context, it is news worthy, but not much else...yet also realize it could.

Cuomo has been critical of the federal government's response, and was writing his own playbook from Day 1. If you're going to do that, for better or worse, you can't sit there and claim you were just following the Federal Government guidelines as a cop out when it's convenient. The fact is, different states handled nursing home populations differently. New York, Michigan and others screwed up, and only have themselves to blame.

Point 2 assumes 100% of the population will get the virus, which isn't anywhere near the case. A large portion of the population is inherently immune, as with any other disease, pandemic or no pandemic.

I also never said anything about wearing a mask or herd immunity. I wear a mask everywhere I go, mainly because no business will let me inside its doors without one. And that's pretty much been the case anywhere I've gone in Western New York, and I've been pretty active since the reopening. If that's a compromise I need to make to get back to as close to normal as possible, so be it.

As far as herd immunity goes, the virus hasn't been around long enough to know if it's a viable option or not.

Different states have had different approaches to this thing, some more stringent, others more lax, and the virus has found its way into all populations. Once it came to our shores, it was always a matter of "when", not "if".

I think they come back down to earth later in the year

they have 2 good wins, rams and cardinals


the rest are
chargers
jets
beat up 49er team, yeah I know they buried them
jaguars


their schedule is easy the next 3 games
broncos, jets, cincy


then the teeth of their schedule
chiefs
pats
raiders
bills

if tua is the real deal, they will be good in a year or 2, but right now I just don't see the talent

they are overachieving due to their coaching which I do not think is sustainable

if your leaders won't wear the masks all the time, not just trump

why should they expect the people to do so?



if the leaders can go out and break the rules all the time, why can't the people they serve go out and roll the dice as well?



it's a slippery slope, and masks probably reduce your chance of catching it, but there still is a risk when out


it's all about perception, and do as I say not as I do (both parties)
