Game Day Thread Official Pregame Thread Bills @ Pats

He’s gonna have a legendary twitter rant over this.

Yes, that would be wrong. Very wrong.

Yes, that would be wrong. Very wrong.

So Beasley will have to quarantine for at least 5 days if he was a close contact, and 10 days if he tested positive. Even as a close contact he would be out. Huge break.

Word is there is a good chance Bourne will be back. Beasley and Sanders are out for the Bills. Looking better for the Patriots.

Beasley may cost the Bills a chance to win the division because he wouldn't take a jab.

He did test positive. He’s out 10 days.

Karma it’s a *****.

you had to know that Beasley’s vaccination status would come back to bite them in the ass.

Is Sanders out for sure?

 

[Rob0729]

Is Sanders out for sure?

I think so. Nothing is official though.

 

[patsinthesnow]

No beasley is huge! For a team that wants to throw the ball 40+ times in a spread offense missing WR2 & WR3 would be tough.

The pats should win. They are at home, the Bills OL is weak & they are undermanned on both sides of the ball.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Is Sanders out for sure?

He has a knee sprain...unlikely to come back just after 2 weeks.

 

[Rob0729]

So the Pats survived the day with no new COVID cases. I think today was probably the last day that a player could get COVID and have a realistic chance of returning for Sunday's game. So let's hope for no more cases.

I don’t know about the BUF game…. Almost feels like regardless of who’s out, either team could win. I’m not particularly hopeful, but there is no question a win on Sunday would be massive. Would really put a nail in the AFCE and would be a fun FU in the face of teams thinking NE was dead.

nothing about Karma. He chose not to get vaxed, his choice.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Meanwhile, total meltdown on the Bills forum.... And they actually think that NBC Boston saying the "Bills were done" is bulletin board material, while their coach saying Belichick had nothing to do with our win against them a few weeks back is not.

Beasley test positive

I hope the bills don't make the playoffs and Cole can blame his freedumb for not playing on Sunday.

 

[patsfanfromoversea]

Well besided this covid stuff and injured players with concussion it is important for us to Limit our mental errors, which means punt protection, Flags etc. We are not good enough yet to overcome this stuff if it happens in situations where the last thing we can afford is a false start. I hope Bill has our guys mentaly sharpe and I am confident he will

I might be wrong about this as I’ve not read up on the new Covid rules implemented last weekend. But, I thought I heard that vaccinated players without symptoms were no longer going to be tested.

If that’s the case and with Bourne saying via social media that he has no symptoms, doesn’t that mean he’s unvaccinated and in the same boat as Beasley? Without symptoms, the only reason he would have been tested is his unvaccinated status, right?

It has been confirmed that Bourne is vaccinated. And he could be back for Sunday.
