So are you saying they tested both Newton and Gilmore and they were both positive but decided to lie about one of the players' test? How else is there a "slip up"? The test results are the ruling body here, positive or negative....

Not being combative here, but I’m not sure I’m understanding your angle. Nor you mine. I’m not suggesting anyone lied about anything. I agree, the test results should rule. But, how did the league testing fail in this scenario? The players tested positive using the available testing methods and the league/team reacted. There’s no telling what those individuals did to become exposed and infected. 
 

Where I think you can blame the league (and maybe you are considering this part of the testing protocols which is fair) is on whether they should’ve played the game on Monday or if it should’ve been postponed. Knowing how this virus works (i.e., the incubation period and when an infected person will actually show positive), with Cam testing positive when he did, the prudent thing to do would’ve been postpone it like they did Steelers and Titans. Honestly, I have no clue why they didn’t do it for one game and did for the other. Particularly, when one team was down its starting QB resulting in a weaker matchup. If this results in a widespread outbreak, the testing/science didn’t fail. The league failed in its response.

Wow, so it sounds like McDermott does not want to play this game.

He and I are of the same mind.  The goal is to win the super bowl.  Infecting our roster by playing this group of knuckleheads does not advance that purpose.

I would love to get a win this week without playing since we have KC on Thursday next week. I do not expect us to be the one seed in the AFC but the road there will shrink drastically if we lose next Thursday

Its not that he let the teams manage it themselves, its that he let teams enforce it themselves. He laid out the rules, some teams have just not been enforcing them.  Which is sort of surprising to me; I wouldn't expect that from a professional organization. 


Manage vs. enforce. We aren't saying anything different here. Semantics

The league thought that they could just get by, turns out they couldn't, and neither could any other sports league so far. They didn't give themselves any wiggle room to reschedule more than a "perfect fit" situation like the Titans v. Steelers or week 18 for each team. We can't even get people to wear a mask to the grocery store. People stood outside of city halls all over the country with signs complaining about not getting haircuts. Parents refuse to leave pop warner football games because they won't put on a mask. GOV officials and campaign managers are refusing to wear masks when they are at debates and press conferences. College kids are throwing Covid parties.

Why would we be surprised that guys like Gruden and Vrabel are skirting the rules? Being shocked this is happening at the moment is exactly how we got here.

Btw Chris brown is going nuts again on radio lol

 

I honestly can't listen to him anymore..  I like the show, generally speaking, but he is really frustrating when it comes to anything COVID related.
