I mean it is but it's a silly statement. I can also say white people spread it more than anyone simply because there are 75+% of them in the country.

I don’t know that you’re reading his reply the right way.
I deleted the post to not clog up the thread with nonsense.

I don't know that you are. He's saying that suggesting that vaccinated people might spread it MORE than unvaxxed people is a silly statement. I originally "lol'd" at the statement that vaxxed people might be spreading the virus MORE than unvaxxed people, as if getting the shot could actually make you MORE transmittable.
He is saying that it would be dumb to say "white people spread it more" simply because of numbers, since the population in predominantly white.

You said that’s “not how math works”
He replied with “it is”
I agree that both statements are “silly”. If you have 61% of the population vaccinated with more and more getting vaccinated every day it’s not out of the realm to suggest more transmission is occurring from people who are vaccinated today. I don’t agree that it’s factual, yet, but it’s not laughable either. If you live in the North East you’ll be seeing this soon. It doesn’t need to make you more transmissible. We already know vaccinated people can spread it and most of the spreading occurs at home.
If we had a 100% vaccination rate and transmission was still occurring the same would hold true. As our percentage ticks upward it gets closer and closer to being a correct statement. He (Insien) added a question mark I believe for that reason.
Like I said, I didn’t want to clog the thread up so I deleted my post. Sorry for ruining that “gotcha” moment you thought you had

It’s not dumb. It’s factual and only dumb because it’s understood to be true or very close to it. It goes without saying.
Wasn't a gotcha moment at all. You still seem pretty clueless on this. Saying "vaxxed people spread it as much IF NOT MORE than unvaxxed" is clearly suggesting that being vaxxed could actually make it WORSE. It is absolutely laughable to have this point of view.You said that’s “not how math works”

That's like saying "people who brush their teeth (even once in their lifetime) get cavities more than people who don't brush their teeth". While this is factually probably true, but is absolutely not how math works.

GTFOH lol. Definitely a gotcha moment lol
He said it in a questionable way and not a factual statement. You know this but you got a hard on for certain people in here lol
If the masses are vaccinated or white (as stated above) it is not out of the realm to suggest the masses are spreading something more. Masses and all…
I swear you and Djax have more in common than not lol
Im done, Go Birds!

Still can’t believe this is a thing but I’m glad it’s the Giants in the middle and both are home. Really have to hope for no injuries almost at all this Tuesday which really blows. I haven’t looked but is there any reason at all why the Giants game isn’t at least bumped to Monday night?
Certain people in here? I've always liked Insein and have no issues with him. Same with you.
His comment was definitely insinuating that vaxxed people could be spreading it MORE than unvaxxed (as a percentage).
His comment was not simply "People who brush their teeth get cavities as much if not more than those who don't"

I took it as a suggestion/unknown and the “lol” as bait. I wanted to avoid what I ended up doing lol

Definitely have to see how we come out of this game first. If we can escape without injuries and get a win I think we beat them. Still have no idea why they don’t move it to Monday night.

I know I'm getting off on Tues for this (I mean I won the Tickets from work what are they gonna say no?) but this really sucks for people who can't go now or won't go with the Flyers game also or people traveling for XMass/New Yrs. My Uncle and Aunt leave for Germany Tuesday night so my Uncle won't be able to attend the game. I was also looking forward to the big tailgate they do with their friends and now there won't be one.
My issue now is Work wants me on Sunday but I had requested off anyway Sun for another event now with the postponement I can do. I also have my brothers birthday dinner Sunday night so I aint working Sunday night. So this complicated things a bit. At least I don't have to work late now on Tues and maybe I can work a little earlier Tuesday. leave at 5 or so, Either way I feel horrible for people as I'm seeing a lot say with the game moved can't go anymore which sucks for them.
NFL really doesn't give a dam about the fans or players. Eagles have every right to be as mad as they are too.

Avoid me!
The “adding insult to injury” cherry on top of this poop sundae is the likely patient zero that caused all this, Montez Sweat, is going to get to play in the game now that it has been moved to Tuesday.
There’s a hundred other dominoes that will fall the rest of the season because of this. Since 2020, the teams that had games postponed due to their opponent having COVID issues are 1-5 the following week on unexpected short rest.
Then there’s the inevitable injuries next game or the game after that may have been avoided with normal rest and recovery.

this is where I'm upset. How do you make one team play on 4 days rest and give the other 7? At least in Thursday games it's typically BOTH teams affected.

Sweat should be DQ'd from playing Tues and fined. I'm sorry I read the Jimmy K article and forgot about this clowns idiot comments on vaccines in the offseason he made. I can't say what I want to about him but lets just say I won't feel bad if the OL gives Sweat a little extra rough stuff on Tuesday night now
Yep that sucks but I'm interested in knowing what teams they were, their record etc. If they were bad teams not playoff bound not sure if the non rest really would've made much of a difference
This is actually an on going issue with Soccer calander schedule. FIFA put in this new Nations league thing wherein doesn't really help much of qualifying for one of the big Tournaments. Just gets rid of friendly matches. With the scheduled changed with QATAR in Nov-Dec next year players only have 1 month off between matches for the year now. Also do to the pandemic, league games European league (name that country or whatever CCL tournament) plus domestic tournaments matches are pushed through. We're seeing more and more injuries to players with covid also having an effect on those who had it.
Football is a very physical sport but the League really should move our game and the Minn/Rams game both to Mon night. Unless we get word government officials stepped in here on plans (which the nFL ruled can postpone games and such) Goodell is showing what a spineless gutless zero balls coward he is. He's proved it for yrs including spy gate when he had his guys wreck all the tapes.

Thinking positive. Everybody including the players are going to vent today but tomorrow it will be back to business for them. They have some extra time to work on stuff. Extra time for Miles and Jordan to heal up. Extra time to make some last minute adjustments. The coaches can also use Sunday to prepare for the following week. Not with the players but to come up with an outline on how to run the week starting Wednesday.
This is a huge monkey wrench thrown at a rookie coach and his staff. I'm interested to see how he handles it.

Superfan Giovani moving to Indianapolis do to Dad getting a new job
Gio's dad got a new job but Gio is also going to be closer to a hospital to help his treatment. I can't remember exactly where they live but the closes hospital to take care of his medical issues is over an hour away and becomes a whole day experience for the family. And he can now watch his favorite player as much as he wants. Gio is also still going to do the Podcasts so thats not going anywhere.

So I was talking to a buddy of mine in the league this morning about everything going on and he was mentioning issues about Goodell and he brought up the spy gate Scandal. The Eagles had known about NE spying on teams on for weeks. They changed a lot of hand signals and stuff over the 2 weeks to get ready and disguise things better. problem is Andy and Jim Johnson's playbooks were so extensive they couldn't change all the plays. They just had to hope NE wouldn't recognize some of the ones they had changed.
I thought it was pretty interesting the Eagles knew about this but one of the disadvantages of an extensive playbook is unfortunately stuff like this can happen.

NFL was apparently getting some heat put on them. Its why I'm not rolling out political invention from some DC Politician in place here who Roger and the NFL might donate too ringed his number.

Yeah I mean it's not like Hurts lights it up consistently. The Hurts Stans will say but it was the Jets for Minshew but him running that offense was night and day compared to Hurts> Just seems like Hurts is just scrambling all the time to get the play in or not knowing the whole play, where Minshew was like a floor general had everyone in place, and knew where to go with the ball depending on a situation. This isn't saying Minshew is a world beater by any means just that the offense flows better with him I think.
I'd rather have a game manager at QB right now then sending Hurts out there and not knowing if you'll get Dr Jeklly Hurts or MrHyde version of him game to game. However I think given Minshew's play vs the Jets Hurts does have a shorter leash right now and I know he needs play at this point.

gonna keep bumping this till Tuesday so we don't get sidetracked further. win or lose, this is all that matters to me for this game. okay i lie, winning matters and sidetracking is fun until gameday, but this right here is another defining moment for where this team is going.

Making us play 3 games in 13 days because we did everything right and WTF did everything wrong is ####### ludicrous.

The line for this game has been crazy. Opened at -3.5 for Phi. Settled at -4.5. then the craziness set in. Jumped all the way to -12.5 yesterday. Then dropped to -8.5 after the game moved. Now it's at -5.5 after Allen and Sweat were announced back. We'll see what it is by game time.

It's what I said from the beginning. They were positioning it as a way to make it seem like they were being proactive against Covid but as soon as this scenario would come up, they'd abandon that plan and go back to business as usual. I have no problems with this as punishing healthy players makes no sense. I just find it funny that people thought the NFL was genuine this time in their player safety efforts.

You nailed it, total BS. I’m sure they will delay it for us if we lose a key player the next couple days right? With the dumpster fire Dan Snyder is it’s beyond me how he gets this treatment.

Yep, didn’t see this coming with the way the season started but Taylor is a beast and Carson is managing the games well. Welp, better than a high second.

Their schedule was really tough to start the year and Wentz had zero camp or practice almost. Now they are clicking. If they can keep playing like they are with that defense I wouldn't be shocked to see them in the SB or at least a KC/Indy AFC Title Match up.

Ya know if it was for Brady all those yrs and BB and Krafts scummy tactics over the years NE would be an easy AFC team for me to root for. Over the years they've gotten a lot of players I want to root for. A few of these guys they have now are really easy to root for too.

Spoke too soon there's still a few clowns. Not sure how Pittman was DQ'd after getting cheap shot by Van Noy from behind. Guess they got Pittman for head butting with his helmet and ejecting a player on both teams to get more control of the game
