Tour2ma Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 General thread that I am afraid will get busier and busier... Pats' CB Gilmore has tested positive as have two more Titans. This week's TN-BUF game is now in jeopardy. Then there's this... NFL chief medical officer doesn't rule out league pausing 2020 season amid rising number of COVID-19 cases 'Every option's on the table,' Allen Sills said Wednesday https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-chief-medical-officer-doesnt-rule-out-league-pausing-2020-season-amid-rising-number-of-covid-19-cases/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcam222 Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 Add to this the governor of Florida saying he will approved 65k fans at games.

TexasAg1969 Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 If they end up cancelling the season before game 9, our FFL will just pay off the winners for each weekend and split the rest evenly with all players. Given how badly I am doing with so many injuries keeping me at the bottom, I'm almost willing to give up the 2020 season. But then I also want to see Garrett get 20 sacks LOL!😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted October 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 Broncos - Pats now postponed until next Sunday due to Pats' coach testing Positive in addition to Cam and Gilmore. Feels like a steady drip ATM, but how long does that last? Also feels like heading towards a week being added to the season to play postponed games with playoff implications. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasAg1969 Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 Well with 7 sacks in 5 games, Garrett is ahead of the pace for 20 in 16 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 I was thinking about this today. What I think the league should do (and I don't know the major implications in the overall US Sports scene) is move the SB to March, so there you get 4 weeks of space to move games, not forcing teams to miss their byes...

It would allow CBS to use their "March Madness" moniker... but I honestly think the league would be happy not playing a few meaningless games given the circumstances. Plus what do the playoff teams that don't have any CoVid Bye-Weeks do for those 4 weeks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if a game isn't for playoff contenders, those late season games can often have impact on draft positioning....which we all think is important. Fair to say? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it'll get any better, so some anticipation would be ideal. What happens if they have to postpone games after say Week 15 when there are no more bye weeks left?

All bets are still off the table this year on contact sports. I was a bit surprised that the NHL and NBA did complete their seasons......hey I read today that LeBron got his 4th ring with 3 different teams. MLB is surprisingly limping along in the playoffs. -but- the NFL is yet TBD. GO BROWNS, playoffs.....we hope, baby ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 They did a lot of scrambling of the schedule yesterday. Seems that you may not know who is playing who from week to week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour2ma Posted November 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 We cancelled in-person meetings today due to a player reporting flu-like symptoms... no positive CoVid-19 results as yet. Elsewhere a Packer (A.J. Dillon) and a Raven (Humphrey) tested positive. Side Note: Apparently Vegas takes the game off the board if a player on either team tests positive. https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/02/us/nfl-covid-packers-browns-ravens-spt-trnd/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
