rangerous Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 And? How is this any different than if a player is put on IR? It isn’t. That’s why the patsies have backups like Hoyer and Stidman. Same thing goes for the Titans. It’s each team’s and players responsibility to act responsibly. As for covid, the virus and it’s treatment are much different today than back in March. Superman is healthy and young. Chances are he will slough it off like a bad case of the flu. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using Savage's example of the 1982 strike shorted NFL season, we likely need another four of five games before they call it a season. I gotta think that they are going to play this out as long as they can...there's too much money at stake. Teams need to put at least one qb in quarantine. The president and the starting QB of the Patriots getting diagnosed for Covid19 in the same week, what are the odds of that happening?

jgb Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Season in trouble... if they cancel it at some point what happens to draft order? Would be so typical to get screwed out of Lawrence because the league adopts some kind of hybrid standings-at-cancellation/lottery hybrid.

Hmmm seems that adding in an extra bye weeks or two would have been an intelligent choice. Assuming more games are cancelled, the season will have to be extended for make-up games. 3) The NFL season is heading into the winter when viruses are much more transmissible. 4) An NFL playoff bubble is possible, but not likely, again due to the sheer volume of personnel. 5) Are NFL players being as careful as MLB, NHL and NBA players were?

He is also receiving Remdesivir- which costs between $3,120-$5,700 based on the length of treatment prescribed (love big pharma) - based on your particular insurance carrier the out of pocket cost could be in the hundreds. I fully expect once Trump is recovered a significant portion of the US Population will be unmasked and living life to the fullest, creating rampant spread (that will reach professional athletes) and hospital overload.

Gangrene Posted October 3, 2020 Author Share Posted October 3, 2020 NFL is willing to put teams in hotels for the rest of the season; will the NFLPA agree? (Profootballtalk.com) Events of recent days make it more and more clear that the best way (perhaps the only way) to get all 256 regular-season and 13 postseason games played this year will be to put all teams in hotels, immediately. Per multiple sources, the NFL gladly would do that. The question is whether the NFL Players Association would agree to it. As one source explained it to PFT, the NFLPA balked during July negotiations at a Thursday-to-Sunday team-by-team bubble. The union likely would balk at a continuous bubble for the balance of the season. The players may feel differently. Faced with game checks that will be lost for good if games are cancelled, staying in a hotel for the next three months seems to be an acceptable sacrifice. The NBA is doing it. The NHL has done it. If the NFL wants to have a full and complete season, the NFL needs to do it, too. As another source noted earlier today, putting all players, coaches, and essential personnel in a hotel for the rest of the season should re-open the window on opting out, with some sort of financial benefit if they choose not to embrace staying in a hotel for the rest of the year. But even if another cluster of players decides to tap out as 32 bubbles form, that’s better than eventually having to cancel ga 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players are coached by a staff of 30 people, half of which are in high risk groups due to age, weight, health, etc. As soon as a coach or coordinator gets hospitalized it’s all over. The linemen are heavy, and they are the ones in each other’s faces 75 plays per game, matter of time before some 25 year old 300 pounder has complications. And as they fly from city to city, hotel workers and bus drivers are at risk too, the lack of a bubble in a close-contact sport was foolish from the start. They should have designed an N95 helmet mask and helped this type of situation from getting out of control. SAR I 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry McCockinner Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 This makes for a challenging fantasy football season. The game is postponed but might be played monday, and might be played tuesday but we won't know until ... when, exactly?
