or maybe Van Pelt gets to call the plays???

[Zombo]

Baker has it.😵

[luke8878]

Chances of being rescheduled? Would not the Ravens be having players popping up with the Rona?

And there's going to be more, you can tell very easily by the way the press releases are worded. 

These guys are all fucking vaccinated, and we're going to be out essentially our whole fucking team and coaches because of something out of their control. If Roger doesn't postpone this game he may as well say "we don't give a shit about certain teams"

[SdBacker80]

Oh no Baker is out

I believe there's a "no tolerance" policy. Might be a forfeit🙁if it gets any worse for the Browns

[gumby73]

Are ya telling me Ohio Governor Dewitt would have to shut this game down? move venue? Monday?

• Every club is obligated under the Constitution and Bylaws to have its team ready to play at the scheduled time and place. A failure to do so is deemed conduct detrimental. There is no right to postpone a game. Postponements will only occur if required by government authorities, medical experts, or at the Commissioner’s discretion.

This where I am at…wouldn’t it be reckless to allow the Browns who could have guys with it but not popping positives tests Saturday (may be positive by Sunday or even Monday) play a team this week?  Do the Raiders want the risk? They have hope for the playoffs too. 
 

If they are serious about the protocols it is either a forfeit or a reschedule.

I think our only hope is the Commissioner's discretion exception.

It's hump-day ! 

The Dawgpound at the Governors mansion would be a priceless photo opt... 🤓 

[Bob806]

If Brady or Big Ben test positive then Goodell will renege the policy lol

[SdBacker80]

if the Browns are decimated with this how in the World are other teams not in the same boat ASSUMING they are testing properly.

And the other team hit hard…the Rams…just so happens they get all these positive tests AFTER their big game.  Now should we see positive tests with the Cardinals?  Are they testing properly

[calfoxwc]

This is crazy.

Any rule in the stupid NFL for players to play both ways??? lol'

Let's see, Garrett at...TE?

McDowell at OT ?  Owusu-Koramoah at WR?

etc?

Just looked at the depth chart by ESPN

Ben happened last season? No?..Brady? don't think so? (YET !)

We just need 46 active guys doesn’t matter the position? Otherwise game on? 

I see the Ravens backup Practice Squad Center has it- if this strand is so contagious I don’t understand how the Ravens Dline hasn’t been infected?

Is this a case of the Browns following the rules and others not following the rules?  
 

 

[nickers]

This is preposterous... reschedule the game... But we all know Goodell is a shill of the league

And Stefansky. Shit, Kev is triple vaccinated,  AND has had covid in the past. At the rate this is going a forfeit isn't out of the question.  Apparently there's a new "Browns" covid variant that vaccines are totally ineffective against. 

PS, Baker says he feels "completely normal ".

With 1\2 the starters out, it would take the miracles of miracles to beat an essentially full strength Raiders team.

Yeah Roger.. How's a Nationally Televised shit show Saturday afternoon going to play out?

I imagine he does feel normal.  Taking care of yourself (health wise) eating properly and/or exercising and getting annual checkups to monitor cholesterol and other underlying issues that COVID impacts- that’s better than the vaccine. 

[hoorta]

Hmmm. From my Hospital Laboratory days, I have to wonder. It says that they have to test negative.  Does it specify what test they have to use? If it's PCR, they're getting results back at lightning speed.  Hell, I'm all for using those home test kits. See a second pink line? No? You're good to go. 

FWIW, I used to be responsible for PCR testing myself.  And you have to be damn meticulous when you're doing it. Personally,  I would look into the very real possibility of laboratory contamination.  Find another lab that does PCR testing!!

Sort of reminiscent of why the Browns now use University Hospitals, instead of the Cleveland Clinic. CC couldn't figure out where that MRSA was coming from.  It ended LeCharles Bentley's career. 

[Zombo]

And now for the Defense:

Troy Hill, John Johnson, Malik McDowell and Ifeadi Odeniabo just added to the list.

Tagliabue was pissed we got our team back. 

Name, colors, & history is all we will ever get from the NFL offices😥

Let these players outta the bubble! PLAY FOOTBALL!!

Mike

Well said Mike. 75 here too and both been triple vaccinated. I'm more interested that my kids and grandkids do well. The old man has already had a good run far better than luck alone. I want some of that to rub off on all of them.🤠

[SdBacker80]

stupidly speaking here because I’m still in disbelief….Should we just let Modell into the HOF or at least be judged in his merits and then maybe this curse will be lifted?

No. Never.

A guy who fired 2 of the best coaches of all time (Paul Brown, BB) is NOT worthy of the HOF, ever. 

Only way he gets in is when people like me are dead ( baby boomers) and the voters have no clue about that and "the move."
