Right, they were banned, as I said.

I'd be willing to bet a large sum that while they don't "allow" that sort of thing that it's still getting posted. Regardless, there are plenty of domestic sources spreading misleading info anyway. Yes, yes there are. https://time.com/5897887/swing-states-2020-election/ Wow, this is the source you want to hang your hat on? I stopped reading after the first couple paragraphs of lies and propaganda. This article actually proves the point. This sort of garbage is allowed on Facebook and Twitter. But any of the troll farms from N Korea, Iran, etc.? Those have been shut down. Rightfully so, but there's no evidence these countries are spreading false stories about Covid.

In Brandin Cooks case he played for the Rams which run a system very similar to Green Bay's. Plus, not sure if anyone from the Packers said that or not, but I don't believe it. Sure, there's a learning curve. But nothing that can't be learned in a couple weeks.

Always wonder why more NFL teams don't dump players fr draft picks more often. I get due to hard cap it will never be as common as the other sports, but still. We'll see if the Jags, Jets, Giants...all these really bad teams start making a bunch of players available. WR would be my first choice too, but if they could find a stud CB or Safety, that would work too. Even just another productive guy for the front 7 would help.

I would say just the opposite. The Packers are more likely to beat those teams in a shoot-out than they are keeping them under 24 points. That would be Seattle's best chance also. I disagree the Packers completely folded and gave up in the Tampa Bay game. If they get in a shootout and they get behind that defense will just crumble and shutdown. I just don't follow that logic. You believe keeping the Chiefs under 24 points is the best chance they have to win? Sure, but that's not realistic. That's like saying the best chance to beat the Lakers is keep them under 80 points. But the Packers offense IS good enough to beat the Chiefs 37-34 or something like that.

Game 6: Packers @ Texans - Sunday, October 25th, Noon CT

Whoever Henry Black is, thete is your dagger. -
I would say none, since none of the social media allow that content.

Ironic this was used as part of another debate, but it's also a large part of the reason Covid deaths are higher in the US than other countries. There's no proof stricter or longer lockdowns would have mattered. Or contact tracing, or masks. Virus is spreading here just as everywhere else. Every country, and state, is just bending the curve differently but we're all ending up at the same place. Only significant difference is the general health, and we are a fat, fat country.

I have a free year subscription to it for the same reason. It's a newer service so there's not a ton of original content yet. When scrolling the list of their included content I did see a fair amount of children's shows, I don't have kids so I didn't study them closely but there was one Charlie Brown special on there (The Great Pumpkin). There was also a Fraggle Rock show. Again, I didn't look that close. I've only watched one Apple TV+ original on it so far, Greyhound starring Tom Hanks, it's a WW2 movie where Hanks is a US captain on a destroyer escorting merchant supply ships across the Atlantic to protect them from German U-boats that are trying to sink them. It was a good solid movie I'd say 3.5 stars out of 5. Good action, perhaps a little light on character development outside of Hanks', it's pretty clear his role is where 99% of the focus went (which is understandable, he's Tom friggin Hanks after all) and the side characters remain fairly unexplored and two dimensional. Otherwise it's similar to Amazon Prime. Some content is included for free with the subscription but you can also rent or buy movies. I wouldn't pay for it because it's nowhere near as robust as Netflix or Amazon Prime at this point but since it's free there's no harm. It's easy enough to cancel so that you don't get charged when the year expires. If you don't even want to go that far and just skip the free trial you probably aren't missing much. Yea AppleTV+ doesn't have much. But I stumbled across The Morning Show, that was actually pretty good. Just started Tehran, and that's been good too so far.

I agree, February was the chance for China to come clean. Thing is, it wouldn't have mattered, it just would have delayed the inevitable. We're seeing this throughout Europe, throughout South America. Travel bans, lockdowns, masks, are all just good optics. Viruses do what they do, but people don;t want to hear that as an answer. They want to hear government is doing something, and that they can be empowered to do something. You can't. You can protect the vulnerable as best you can, and in the meantime do everything you can to develop vaccines and therapeudics.

Game 5: Packers @ Buccaneers - Sunday, October 18th, 3:25PM
FVBrewerFan replied to homer's topic in Other Sports
My overreaction hot take of the day. The Packers aren't winning the Super Bowl. They don't have the mental toughness. The have almost a perfect 1st quarter, than bam losing 14-10. Ok, it's the NFL, that happens to everyone. But TB continues on scoring 38 unanswered points?? That's how you handle adversity? This defense really has no leadership, toughness, identity or most of all confidence. It's like they know they're not that good, and try to play through it. The offense has looked fantastic until today, no doubt. But we've seen this before. When someone really brings the noise Rodgers gets skittish, and they go into panic mode. We'll see, I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think so. -

Are you one of those people born and raised In WI, but picked another team? -
I will let Machu speak for himself, but I believe this is what he predicted a while back.

Source? The only reason given I remember is #1. It was initially 15 days, so there's no way anyone expected the other 3 items to be resolved.

The CDC Director said that masks offer better protection than vaccines. Every infectious disease expert I've spoken with agrees that that is a stupid and harmful statement. And the CDC just reported 85% of positive cases were people who always or usually wear masks. Not surprising, WHO and many countries, experts all now saying lockdowns are causing more health risks than Covid.
-
Very interesting, thank you. Yes, I'm not quite sure where some of these numbers are coming from above. It's not going to take anywhere close to 2 years to manufacture the vaccine and distribute. At the same time, someone mentioned time frame for 70% vaccination rate. That one's easy- never.

Good points. We also won't see the effects on physical health for at least another year, and mental health much longer than that. Many people are terrified to leave their home to see their doctor or a specialist. Or a therapist. All we see and hear from the media is armageddon, so there's no sense of proportion in how serious it is. The problem is you can't take a middle ground stance or else you're labeled a hoaxer who wants grandma to die. I have said that for months when we discuss this with family and friends. I wear a mask, even though in the scheme of things I don't think it helps much. Why? Because why not. And I live in an area where masks are about as common as a bunt in MLB. I go out, all the time, but I'm not going to bars, crowded restaurants, etc. I visit my elderly parents but I wear my mask, don't get near them, use saitizer before I go in, etc. Look, 250,000 is a lot of people but it's really not statistically. Not when you consider a bad cold/flu season. Add in pneumonia, other causes of respiratory related deaths, and the delta isn't that wide, statistically. Not minimizing, just putting it in perspective.

This made me check out the Packers salary cap, I haven't looked at 2021 in quite a while. WOW. This is probably the worst position they've been in cap wise in many years. Not only do they have very little cap space, their options for increasing it are really limited. In the past there were always a couple of big cap guys who could be cut without a lot of dead cap money. Not next year. It will be tough to sign one of those guys, let alone 2 or 3 of them or sign a FA of an significance. You can free up $8MM cutting Smith, but hard to see them eating $10MM in dead cap to do that.

Nobody thinks it's fake. Well, sure, there's a handful of people that believe anything. What a large percentage of people DO believe is the concern isn't worth changing your entire life for a year, or maybe two. Not saying we're right or wrong, that's just where we're coming from. Masks or no nasks, this virus will take it's course. It's why certain spots pio up, ir dies dow, pops up somewhere else. It's what viruses do.

The article is from Pakistan, not Oxford. https://www.research.ox.ac.uk/Article/2020-09-28-regular-covid-19-testing-for-groups-most-likely-to-spread-the-virus-more-efficient-cost-effective-than-random-testing My mistake, I was reading several articles, copy/pasted the wrong one. THIS is the one I meant to post originally.

You don't seem to like Davante Adams very much. Adams doesn't like the bright lights of MNF.

Nope. If you don't know it by now, MLF is not MM.
