    Last year, we were a severely flawed and unbalanced team. We were NOT a playoff team by any stretch of the imagination.

    Again, I'm not against being optimistic. To be honest, I think we're going to be a better team this year. I think Ben is going to come back strong and Pouncey is going to play better because his buddy is back. I think the OL is going to be more like the 2018 version than 2019 and our running game is going to improve behind it. Ben is also going to elevate our WR corp. That means getting back to the playoffs. I'm optimistic.

    But none of that happens unless the nagging questions get answered positively.

    And I thought that was because we didn't make the playoffs. If we had made the playoffs, would we have been a playoff team? :smiley1:

    But I agre on all. Just to be optomistic, maybe the OL went down when Big Boob did. If he comes back and can actually play, maybe that will be the "save the Alamo" war cry?

    I hope they rally around him and play out of their minds, Pouncey especially. Dare to dream!!

    And no, IMHO, there was no scenario at the end of the season that would have qualified us as a "playoff team." Oh we might have made it to the playoffs, but we weren't a relevant team. There was no wind coming in off the lake that would have made us a playoff team last year.

    To me there was no reason in the world that Rudolph does not start that last game against Baltimore!

    They came out after the season was over saying how Mason was there man; but chose to have him sit in week 17?

    I think we are starting to see that if everyone were tested, we would soon find out that people have and get over it without ever having a symptom. Ohio passed a law that they would test "all" prisoners, whether they had symptoms or not, and 73% tested positive.

    It’s certainly starting to appear that there are more people walking around with it than without it.

    I think they were trying to save him from himself. At that point, if he got knocked around or laid an egg, he might have never recovered mentally. I think they shut him down to put the season from hell behind him and save him.

    Yeah, I saw that it was 73% at one prison (1,828 inmates and 109 staff), and so far no deaths there. It will be interesting to see how many progress to severe disease and/or death over the next couple of weeks. My wife had it in mid March, and I had something mild at around the same time. but I didn't qualify for a test until I felt mostly recovered over a week later (after her positive result came in 11 days after being tested), and tested negative. It's possible that I had it and was nearly asymptomatic.

    I really, really hope that when serology (blood-based) testing is expanded, that the results show that it penetrated society far more than originally thought, and that far more people than originally thought have at least temporary immunity.

    Thank you. So far nothing significant other than a lingering cough similar to the aftereffects from a bad cold.

    I’ll just say one more thing about this article. They don’t know when the virus spread through that facility, so we may not understand what the implications of the numbers are for a few weeks. The disease generally results in first symptoms in around 5 days (average, range is 2-14) after infection for those who have symptoms, and then becomes more severe after several days in those whose disease progresses. Death seems to occur in around 2-4 weeks for those who perish. If the prison population was infected in the week before the testing occurred, it means something entirely different from if they were infected 2-3 weeks before testing. It will be very interesting to see if there’s any published follow up that shows how many were symptomatic, how many severe and how many ultimately die.

    Thing is that roughly 90% of the deaths have underlying symptoms. The virus isn't killing the vast majority, health problems exacerbated by the virus are.

    Go back and watch that hit he took against the Jets, you could tell afterwards he was in a lot of pain.
