If I were a Steelers fan, I’d be pissed too.  This has very real likelihood of nixing Steelers bye in the playoffs.  

 

Couldn't happen to a better group! Let them get pissed, I still think we got hosed over more. They got a bye last time and now dont have to play on a short week if they play Sunday. Not really that big of a deal honestly. Now if Sunday gets canceled... we'll see.

Honestly, Tomlin deserves Coach of the Year award. TWICE now his team has been screwed over due to COVID, neither time was his team’s fault, and they’re still 10-0.

The problem being, no consistency.     why was this game postponed, but the Bills game last week not?  We lost 4 players.  The niners had a game where they were missing 6.  The picking and choo

They can cry about it, but they are lucky to be playing at all this year. Given the circumstance, this is what they signed up for. There are a lot more people in far worse situations from the pandemic

I get that, but bending over backwards to cover incompetence screws other teams.


 

they probably should’ve just moved it to Monday earlier and flip flopped which week was the steelers long week off... but just because something isn’t happening exactly as planned doesn’t mean anyone’s been screwed. It’s not ideal, sure, but nothing about 2020 is and you either came into this season looking for solutions, or for punishments.

 

sliding a game a few days is hardly bending over backwards. And if you think it is you never actually wanted to see the season happen 😂

The Baltimore Poe-birds say another player and "a couple of staff members" test positive and go on the Covid list, contact-tracing to follow

It's said these results will not affect plans for Sunday's game against the Pissed-off Steelers

I know Goodell declined to do this with the Titans (a clear mistake, in hindsight), but the NFL really needs to call this a Ravens forfeit. This is the only real Deterrent to violating the rules in such a way as to cause a widespread outbreak and endanger the safety of many players and staff. 
 

if they don’t bring down the hammer, I guarantee we will continue to see other instances of non-compliance across the league. You can’t have a staffer who doesn’t wear his mask, and doesn’t report symptoms. There’s no excuse.

Cases are exploding all over the country I think NFL needs to do something I’m not saying a bubble type but SOMETHING, and teams need to be held more  accountable or else I’m afraid the rest of the season and the playoffs won’t end / start on schedule

Not gonna happen. Not only did they not punish the titans, they went out of the way on the broadcast to praise them for their tenacity. Crap happens. BMORE will lose anyways now without Ljax

And the broadcasters said nothing about players continuing to practice post facility closedown.

They were coconspirators in coverup.

Seems like the way it's going, the Ravens might struggle to put out a team of backups, let alone starters.

 

In many respects, it seems as though the NFL as a whole, has done remarkably well to avoid this type of scenario, for as long as it has.

 

I think we are getting to the point where there are going to be some decisions made, that a lot of people aren't going to like, simply to keep the season on track.

 

There may be a need for teams to forfeit games, not so much because they couldn't be rescheduled, but more because there is no guarantee, that a rescheduled game, can be played at a much later date - e.g. week 18

 

In some ways, it's ironic that the NFL has got through almost 3/4 of the regular season, but might have to then go down the route of some games being forfeited, because they are running out of time.

Exactly, that's why I'm saying NFL will do everything to avoid a black eye on them or their teams. See no evil, hear no evil.

So we test these guys twice a day?  Move the game to Tuesday.  Problem is Ravens supposed to play Dallas Thursday night.  

 

 

 

S*** like ^^^^ If you have to postpone the game more then once then the game should be forfeited ( f**** the Ravens )  and the same for everyone else who doesn’t start taking  this s*** more seriously

I haven’t been quick to say “forfeit” on any game, but i think this should be the first.  They will seriously have to jack up the Pittsburgh schedule to get this one in, and that’s not fair. 


 

Why - the Titans screwed up 2 of our games and the Pittsburgh game and the NFL did not force a forfeit.

 

Move the game to Tuesday/Wednesday and then move back Pittsburgh/Baltimore’s next game to Monday/Tuesday if needed.

 

I thought the Titans should of forfeited against us, but if they can jerk around multiple teams and play on weird nights for the Bills earlier then they can do it here also - get the game in.

 

I will be interested to see because this is the work of 1 bad coach and just spreading within the team from that.  The Titans was a coach and a PS player that had not been cleared, but the real harm was when the team did not follow protocol and practiced together outside the facility.  To me that situation warranted a forfeit way before this one.

i think they basically used the titans as a warning to teams that if they violate protocol going forward, there may be forfeits. So if they are serious about what they said, this is precisely the situation where you forfeit. 
 


“Protocol violations that result in virus spread requiring adjustments to the schedule or otherwise impacting other teams will result in additional financial and competitive discipline, including the adjustment or loss of draft choices or even the forfeit of a game,” Goodell wrote in the memo obtained by the Associated Press.

Ravens can play on Tuesday, and adjust the NFL schedule accordingly.  
 

We got jerked around, Pats had to play without Cam, Raiders had to play KC with no practice and the 49ers had to play without half of their team.  
 

Everyone else has managed to mitigate this since the train wreck that was the Titans, and here’s my utter lack of surprise that it’s a team like the Ravens, with their constant yapping and in-fighting that becomes train wreck #2.

The way it's going they may still be getting positives on Tuesday....

 

With the titans they not only had to cancel a game but move the FOLLOWING game to Tuesday.

Teams should be sacrificing picks to team they force game move to or choose to forfeit

 

Let the penalty be in football - yards or loss of down.

Titans choose to work remotely too in violation of rules.

We need the Ravens to be at their best to beat the Steelers so don't know why that is bad.

The Bills aren’t going to catch the Steelers in the standings if that’s your reasoning here. Not going to happen. I’m putting the Ravens in the same category with the Titans, they broke protocols and don’t deserve this special treatment from the league. They deserve to be punished. Hope it happens soon.
