The Frankish Reich Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 The NFL right now is where MLB was in early August, just a week or so into the scheduled 60 game season. They got it under control by shutting down the Marlins and then the Cardinals, and those teams were able to make up the games despite (for the Cards) about a 17 day shutdown. That was feasible in baseball with 7 inning doubleheaders, etc.  It isn't in football. Nobody wants to see 45 minute doubleheaders in the NFL. At this point, the fairest solution is to take about a 2 week (3 week?) pause in the entire season and try to get in a 14 game schedule for everyone. I don't like it, but I also don't like what this is doing right now to teams like the Bills, waiting around uncertain of who they're playing next and when. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shut it down for 2 weeks is a good idea. But what happens after the 2 weeks are up? Players will still be at risk to be exposed to the virus. Could they go the NBA route and bubble the players in a hotel or complex for 10-12 weeks? I don’t think they want to do that but it has been effective for the NBA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you just wasted the rest of October.  The real thing is to admit the playoffs will be played in February and March and start rescheduling these games for January.

1ManRaid Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 The newest narrative from delusional Titans fans on Twitter is that the NFL investigation into the Titans proved them innocent of breaking protocols. Probably some fan misconstrued the NFL not releasing their findings as proof of innocence, and the rest just ran with it.  The weird thing is they claim that there were no protocols in the first place, but then claim they were found innocent of breaking existing protocols. Schroedinger's Protocols? Then they say it doesn't matter if they broke protocols because they are just "recommendations", and not required. It's freaking baffling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) Taking a break makes zero sense.  This is just going to happen again when they restart.   Unless they expand rosters and do what CFB is doing, ie., bench anyone sick and play on, I don’t see how this works.  The league is on fire right now because two teams have a bunch of (from what it sounds) asymptomatic players/personnel.  I mean, how do you even combat that?  Im all for playing through it, but certain teams needs to wise up and the NFL needs to expand its contingency plans.   Edited October 11, 2020 by SCBills 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use dome stadiums if you have to. Except that it DID work for MLB, which is the closest comparison to the NFL (large traveling parties, no bubbles). Part of that was MLB coming down hard on players who violated protocols, which the NFL hasn't had the guts to do to protect its product. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 300 pound behemoths usually don't try to deliberately hit hotel maids and airport workers. The real fear the NFL has is a superspreader event that goes well beyond the confines of team facilities and personnel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
