No, actually, it is just what I said above.....a complete lack of foresight on their behalf by not having a contingency plan. What would happen if Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Derrick Henry. Russell Wilson..Drew Brees etc. or a team's entire WR/QB/RB corps comes down with it? I predict something like the above will happen between now and Saturday.

Meanwhile, the game will go on, apparently. Just like the NFL made the ratbirds and squealers go ahead and pla... oh, wait. They had their games delayed.... It was Denver with a WR as QB they made play. I watched because I knew it would look like the original Mets. They did not disappoint. Kendall Hinton was one of nine for 13 yards. On the plus side he completed twice as many as that to their opponent. LOL!🤗🏈 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone were brought in, it would have to be now so they could be in that bubble for 2 weeks. I mean, you bring your PS and injured list with you....unless you rule anyone out completely. if there had been a bubble the plans should have been made months ago DOH, uh, yea....see above. Wholly a lack of foresight. Wholly a failure to at least have that contingency plan. Still, I think it could be done. But yes, difficult.

But I doubt the NFL would want that out of weather concerns. They would want domes or warm weather sites. As for the timing....that is what the 2 week delay is supposed to be for. I think it could be done logistically even with the greater number of players. Have 2 sites with 7 teams each would certainly not be as difficult as what the NBA did in Orlando. As for the other leagues having more time to decide on it: I think that just bespeaks of the NFL's failure to have a contingency plan in place. A lack of foresight and vision. Hell, my self and other shmoes on here thought of it long ago. Why couldn't the brilliant minds of the NFL think of it? What is that you say? What brilliant minds? OK, fair to say. Again, you actually thinking that they didn't explore it is delusional. And no, doing it now would be a complete logistics nightmare. But I am certainly not going to go into all of that. All I will further comment, is just imagine how you would feel as a Chiefs or Packers player that EVERYTHING changes on you last minute and 90% of the advantage you EARNED is taken away. Or even look at it in your orange colored glasses. I think everyone (even the Jets) would agree that if the Browns weren't without the WR that they would have won. Which would now have them sitting in 3rd and hosting. You think it would be right for NFL to take their EARNED PO game away? Basically, I am saying that since a move doesn't make things worse for the Browns that you don't have another thought on it. But if it did, you would show more of an inclination to dive deeper, even if you came to the same conclusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure. And actually a 2 week delay would take them only to like President's Day, not St. Patty's for the Super Bowl. The weird thing is the Sunday before President day is their ultimate goal because most people will be off the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, it would suck for sure. (but think about how it would suck if Mahomes or Rodgers caught it....that would suck even more for them probably). Beside....as someone suggested....bubble up in KC and GB....though, yes, those grass fields couldn't probably take those 6 games. Or even look at it in your orange colored glasses. I think everyone (even the Jets) would agree that if the Browns weren't without the WR that they would have won. Which would now have them sitting in 3rd and hosting. You think it would be right for NFL to take their EARNED PO game away? Wait....are you saying that if the Browns beat the Jets, and then beat the Steelers, they would have won the division? I am not certain that would have been the case. Depends on the tiebreaker situation. I think division record would still have favored Pitt. I thought for some reason that we would have also needed the Colts to beat the Steelers. Not sure. Of course, if the division title did come down to that game.....none of those Steelers would have been sitting out for sure. Irrelevant now though. Basically, I am saying that since a move doesn't make things worse for the Browns that you don't have another thought on it. But if it did, you would show more of an inclination to dive deeper, even if you came to the same conclusion. I am not sure where you are going here. I am only thinking about how the league could avoid a possible disaster if several other playoff teams ended up facing the same crap we have to deal with now. But, I will say that you are right about one thing: I don't care IF those other teams do have to face the same crap that I do. In my gut I kind of have enough Schadenfreud to wish some of them do have to. Terrible of me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point you can’t tell a player what to do- outside of practice and games- it is not working. They are seeing friends and family that see other people a bubble throughout this time at least limits contacts and secondary contacts where things are spreading. Probably worth a shot. Are we in full contamination mode here? God Forbid Mahomes gets it and we have to cancel the playoffs for 14 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well first off.....just like the NBA....NO one gets into the bubble unless they test negative. I would have thought that would have been and obvious requirement. Second....I said it would not be surprising if the league were to try to exercise its influence to get its guys vaccinated ahead of most everyone else. They do not seem to have done that because the negative public relations repercussions could be something they would never want to deal with.....it would be worse public relations for them to do that than to live with teams getting decimated by the virus. (they must protect the shield....even at the cost of protecting their players health). Also, as predictable, this administration's incompetence has shown up in spades wherein only 10-15% of the people that were supposed to have been vaccinated so far have actually received it. Third: where are you coming up with this $100 business. Am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
