    Well, it's not the "same damn thing". Regardless of whatever science one chooses to believe or not to believe, a COVID diagnosis will be looked upon very differently than the flu.
    Science says that you're LESS likely to die of Covid than the Influenza (not common cold, but influenza) if you're under 50, and not statistically significantly higher fatality rate regardless of age.

    You get sick, and, if you're in otherwise good health, as long as you stay hydrated, rest up and take your meds, you'll recover reasonably quickly. If you're really old and you already have terminal illnesses, well.. you could be in trouble. Covid, Influenza, SARS, Swine flu... etc.

    Make no mistake... I'm not a "Denialist" of science and I was much more worried in Fall 2014 about the Ebola... because no matter how healthy or young you are, it kills, violently and speedily; those who survived received extremely intensive care and were very fortunate and lucky to make it. With a fatality rate over 50%, an Ebola pandemic spanning millions of cases in the country would be truly severe. But not this. This is a junior varsity high school baseball league pandemic.

    As always, you miss the point.
    But on a side note, it would be awesome if you got Ebola.

    Herd immunity theory FTW. Let's get the NFL season started and operate stadiums at max capacity, baby.

    Herd immunity.

    They're all under 50... 53 cases with 0 fatalities is just fine.

    Think about it, the NFL season and playoffs run right through the heart of cold and flu season. Nobody cries when guys are "under the weather" for "flu-like symptoms" (sore throat, coughing, sinus congestion, etc) every November or January. They don't sit out games to "self-quarantine". They play through it like men. This is the same damn thing.
    Herd immunity only works when on a global scale.. at this rate the only way we're gonna establish herd immunity would be to have everybody willingly catch it at the same time and then go back to bury the dead

    My theory is Antwaun Woods (the culprit) did it on purpose because he knew his job was on the line after McCarthy said the Cowboys are only going to keep 4 DTs and 6 EDGEs. 4 DTs = 4 out of 5 of McCoy, Poe, Woods, Trysten Hill (2nd round pick last year) and Neville Gallimore (3rd round pick this year). Chances are, Woods was going to be the odd man out.

    6 EDGEs = DLawrence, Everson Griffen, Aldob Smith, Tyrone Crawford, Bradlee Anae (5th round pick this year), Aldon Smith and Dorance Armstrong..... if and when Gregory comes back, it's bye-bye Armstrong.

    huh? quite the opposite, the Redskins home field has been criticized for years and years over their muddy/swampy natural grass field.

    yeah, mud/grass fields have more natural inconsistencies for trips/sprains... but they also have a little more give. i dont know if there have been actual studies on injury tendencies.

    or, ya know, Nick Bosa water-sliding in the mud like a 9 year old kid

    Some people conspiracize that the artificial turf has chemicals that can cause cancer, specifically lymphoma. Seems to be only that RBs and safeties that have gotten Hodgkin's lymphoma in the past decade (a good handful of OLinemen have gotten other various forms of cancer in the meantime), so maybe they're right.

    No Tyron or La'el today at tackle. I expect the Falcons to roll in Dallas.

    Love the noon home game, though. Need more of those on a year to year basis.

    CeeDee Lamb's First 100-Yard Receiving Game!!! 9/20/2020 #TheLegendBegins #88 #ThrowUpTheX

    (also, the most clutch catch and big gain of the game)... this guy is a superstar in week 2 of his rookie year. What a of a draft pick.

    Trade both DeMarcus Lawrence and Jaylon Smith for late round picks. Maybe even offer a late pick if they're willing to take their salary and full cap hit (including the Cowboys' "dead money" portion from the signing bonuses). At this point they are both dead weight albatross contracts for literally no production and this defense is simply embarrassing outside of Aldon Smith and Trevon Diggs.

    49 points to the ing BROWNS. This is as low as it gets. Also, Mike Nolan needs to get the axe ASAP.

    Maybe a hardcore 4-3 defensive team with an anemic pass rush like Seattle might think they can rejuvenate DeMarcus Lawrence's career? They have the cash, since they didn't re-sign Clowney. They also need draft capital, since they lost so much of it in the Jamal Adams trade.

    How about:

    Cowboys trade

    DeMarcus Lawrence
    DeMarcus Lawrence's remaining signing bonus pro-ration (dead cap money)
    2021 Cowboys 3rd round pick

    in exchange for

    2022 Seahawks conditional 7th round pick.


    Do you think the Seahawks would go for that? If I'm Jerry Jones I do that ASAP.

    If Cowboys are going to commit to the 3-4, Aldon Smith and Randy Gregory are the perfect bookends. Logically. And if David Irving is indeed re-instated, I'd sign him to be the 3-tech DE. He's talented AF like Aldon Smith (except Irving is more of a KC Chris Jones type of player, always wreaking havoc from the interior and always around the ball) and can come off the couch and perform even despite the year or two he's been out of the league.

    Lawrence (and Everson Griffen) really aren't fits, but Griffen can stay and play 5-tech DE or whatever since he's on a cheap one year deal.

    I'd flat-out cut Dontari Poe, short-term or not, since he's been fat and useless at nose tackle. Start Antwaun Woods there, and/or make David Irving the NT in the nickel similar to the Jeremiah Ratliff role in the Wade Phillips era (Ratliff averaged 10 sacks a year for 4 years from the NT role which I believe was an NFL record for 3-4 NT's).

    If I were hired as the DC with some GM ability over the defense, i'd have this defense top 10, which paired with this offense should make for a very strong contender
