Patriots Pregame Thread Week 17 pregame: Pats vs Jax

[RobertWeathers]

@RobertWeathers
1. They've already done it. It was the 1st set of rule revisions in response to omicron.
2. Exactly.
3. They're already not testing every player as part of rule revisions. See #1
4. Ok?

No.

Viral load is also measured to determine status of return.

Vax'd players can still sit depending on the test results.

Suggest you read this.

That's what I referred to. They added MERSA, they added CT thresholds, they only test vaxxed players randomly, they increased # of tests per day, etc.

 

[venecol]

Yes, they test vaxxed players outside random tests, but only if they admit to symptoms.

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

Yea, but the discussion is about the league falsifying tests.

At the end I said I did not think tests were falsified. My point was that tests can be selectively administered to achieve the result the NFL seeks, and it strongly appears as though they are doing that. @RobertWeathers was not suggesting teats were falsified either. You are the only one talking about the NFL purposely falsifying tests ;-).

@RobertWeathers quote: "They'll play it and I fully expect the league to falsify enough test results to make it happen."

I mean, okay, if you want to be that guy and say "Well ACTUALLY you said these specific words originally so TECHNICALLY I win" then congrats, you win today's pointless forum argument. However, I think most posters understood the actual spirit of what @RobertWeathers was saying here.

@Ross12 I didn't win anything nor do I care. I was being tounge in cheek by calling his post "a tad dramatic" for reasons only he knows. You guys. Lol

Great news!!!

 

[venecol]

If I'm the Jags interim HC, with the starting sh!tty OL out, I'm playing CJ Beathard at QB and protect the #1 pick from likely injury. Pats front 7 gonna eat.

Jacksonville ownership and front office. That QB has so little hope within that organization.

If I was a Jags season ticket holder, I'd be pissed about that. I would expect that coaching should be able to figure out ways to protect the QB through scheme and coaching up Trevor to not hold onto the ball, even if it is intentional grounding. Also, if I am the interim coach and basically "throw" a game, I would probably never get a chance at another HC job again.

 

[venecol]

Throw a game? The jags had no chance to win at full strength. Game is in Foxborough. F**k jag season ticket holders.

Just chiming in because it's been a few pages of back-and-forth-and-back-and-forth over what seems like semantics. Thanks for settling things though.

Ekuale, Wilkerson, and Ross all elevated from PS.
Judon, Bentley, King, Uche, and Hoyer activated off COVID list (wonder if Hoyer will be active or if they'll give it to Stidham?).

Patriots Elevate Three Players to the Active Roster

The Patriots announced that they have elevated DL Daniel Ekuale, D’Angelo Ross and WR Kristian Wilkerson to the active roster for the second straight week.

Wouldn’t mind seeing what they have with Ross and if he could potentially provide realistic depth.

listen Ross...if I can't argue sementics on this board , just what the hell am I supposed to argue? how I USED to be a jerkoff??

All good @Ross12

@venecol and I have known each other long enough not to give 2 ****s about board **** measuring.

I do think the league is not beyond falsifying & avoiding testing of key players in critical games.

I don't trust any of those ****s.

Just to be clear...

I did say I would not put it past the NFL to falsify test results so key players remain eligible.

I did not say they have falsified past results.

But if new information came to light, I would not be surprised they did.

Used to be?????

Don't sell yourself short, Joker. You are an exceptional jerkoff.
