Meh, the rules are the rules, they knew them and made their choices. I am sure fellow players at PO'd since they agreed to the rules.Last edited by call_me_ishmael; 10-27-2021, 12:57 PM.

We probably won’t see 4 WRs on the field at the same time while Matt “Frog” LaFleur is head honcho. For some uncool reason, the Frog refuses to run the Run N Shoot, which usually utilizes 4 WRs on any given play, much like the Walrus (Holmgren) used to refuse to run the shotgun with Favre.Originally posted by Fritz View PostI think this is the logical expectation. As a twist, I'd like to see Green Bay trot out four wide receivers and Jones in the backfield on its first possession, just to throw AZ off. Throw the ball on first down, maybe a deep shot to ESB, run out of that formation on second down. Mess up AZ. Then you can go back to the idea you've forwarded there, which perhaps should include both Jones and Dillon on the field. I'd like to see how Dillon can block as a FB, too.
Bretsky, I like your attitude - it'll be a fun game to watch, no matter the outcome. With so many players out for GB, it seems to lessen the tension. Let's see a good show. Particularly if the defense can actually step up.
The thing I liked most about McCarthy was, he was as open minded as his cousin, Jenny McCarthy, when it came down to the playbook. We saw the Fab 5 (5 wideouts), the ihop (3 WRs, 2 RBs), and even the wishbone.

What is supposed to sink in ?Originally posted by Fosco33 View PostSo Lazard is in protocol bc he’s not vaxd and was around Adams (who is vaxd and had a breakthrough case).
Just let that sink in for a min.
It's a league protocol and it seems to work as far as preventing large scale issues to any one team.

Vax status should mean nothing. Maybe Lazard acquired covid the old fashioned way…
We’re pulling a player w/o symptoms or positive test w/ the initial assumption that the vaccine prevents covid or spreading Covid… when it obviously does not. The vaccine certainly prevents hospitalization and death.
If we want to actually stop the spread - we’d pull anyone in close contact w/ Adams regardless of vax status.The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

The counties across the country with the greatest covid spread (cases per capita) correlate perfectly with low vaccination rates. There is no serious argument; vaccination reduces covid spread.Originally posted by Fosco33 View Postthe vaccine prevents covid or spreading Covid… when it obviously does not.
The anti-vaxxers have focused on narrowly-focused studies that show that people with breakthrough infections shed virus at rates similar to that of the vaccinated. Virus accumulates in the nasal passages (or wherever spread is initiated) at almost the same level.
THIS IS ONLY ONE FACTOR IN SPREAD. Vaccinated people are less likely to become infected. They are infectious for a shorter period.
The proof in the pudding is what is happening clinically in the real world. The virus spreads where vaccination is weak. You will NEVER hear an actual virologist or epidemiologist say that vaccination doesn't help spread. You have self-proclaimed experts "doing their own research" spreading harmful misinterpretations of cherry-picked science. Anti-vaxxers on the internet re-enforce each other and become more certain in their version of "science."

i'm not a buyer into the analysis that can be twisted inn so many ways. The players know the rules. Each team would like their multi million dollar players to be vaccinated, and if they aren't there are the repercussions. In realty a vaccinated player has more value than a non vaccinated player if talent is similarTERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

I’m not debating vaccines or covid or anything non fb - we can take that to other threads. I had covid and got the vax as did everyone I know.
My point is we’re holding a player out who isn’t vaccinated or positive because he was around a vaccinated player who got covid to prevent spread to other vaccinated players?? It’s just ironic and counter intuitive. You’d think Lazard would’ve gotten the Vid and Adams wouldn’t…The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

Would you maybe consider deleting your previous non-football, admittedly triggered outburst post though? Don't want to see anyone on the receiving end of the ban hammer.Originally posted by Harlan Huckleby View PostOK, I agree with your post.

That is not a football statement. It is a statement of politics and medical controversy that is roiling the country. I am going to respond to such upsetting claims even if jailed. My heroes Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela and Steve Bannon have all done time for their views.
I will be happy to watch Thursday night's game at Fosco's house if we are sent to posting jailing. Well, perhaps on zoom depending on status.
