Reminds me in college in my fraternity house, we had a bar/lounge on the third floor. We would watch Sunday after dinner, Star Trek (the original reruns). We had kegs and a full bar, etc. there would be at least 20 of us or more in a room made for maybe 8. Every time you heard the swoosh for the doors on Enterprise, you had to drink. The worst was a horrible snowstorm, and we were stuck in the house. We did the same for Scarface, but the trigger to drink was every time you heard that word that was said all the time in that movie. Lots of headaches that next day. Never saw so many hungover brothers in my life. 2

Expand Jmo, but I think the time to postpone/reschedule games has come & gone. Few -if any teams- have a bye left and every week through the SB is now filled up. 2
Malazan Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 While the double standard for the league bending over backwards for the Titans and Ravens is some BS... Isn't Denver somewhat culpable for not having the foresight to have an isolated QB? 2

Either way, this has been escalating and they seem to have this “push through it” approach. It does feel different depending on the team though.
nucci Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 it's almost like the owners just want the games to be played and don't care about anything else. Shocking 1

For all those complaining that they didn't do this to the Ravens or Titans, the difference is, those teams had real cases and they could not take the chance of infecting the other players or opposing team. In this case, they blatantly did not follow the rules. No one is infected, they just disobeyed the league directives. The result, those players sit as a penalty. The only way the NFL is going to get full compliance is, so no more warnings, time for action (I really felt this is what should have happened to the Raiders). For all the conspiracy theorist here, understand, this is a simple matter: They didn't do what they were supposed to do, now they suffer the consequences for it. To add to the Elway and Vic. F. stupidity in Denver, neither did they have an emergency plan in place (like the Bills do with Fromm). ... "Stupid is as stupid does." .... Or, should it be "stupidity breads stupidity"? In the end, I have no sympathy for Denver, they're getting what they deserve as an organization. Having said that, just for the fun story it could be, I hope the PS WR Hinton leads them to a win today. That would be the "cherry on top" of this entire episode. Edited November 29, 2020 by CSBill 1
Rochesterfan Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 On 11/29/2020 at 3:48 AM, Hapless Bills Fan said: When the contact tracing is delayed without isolating the contacts (which from the sound if it is what happened in Denver), long enough to get into the period where people can start to become infectious, you're potentially in an outbreak situation. You just don't know it yet. Agreed. but to my point about the exposure being Weds, the positive test returned Thurs am, and the QBs not identified as close contacts until Saturday afternoon - by not identifying and immediately isolating the close contacts, they aren't cleanly in the latter situation any more. Expand This Hap is the only reason I could see them moving the game - if the medical team feels there was risk of exposure from the guys on Thursday and Friday. I think they are lumping them in a very low risk group and feel they are safe, but they have been wrong before - we will see.
Utah John Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 This is a terrible decision. The Ravens have been given all sorts of rescheduling gifts because Jackson has covid. The Broncos are just getting screwed.

Expand Not sure I agree with this - Denver will be missing their QBs, but pretty much back to normal by next week. The Ravens will be missing 15-20 players when they play Steelers and as some of their players tested positive this weekend - may not be available for next weeks game either. Lamar could miss 2 games if he does not clear in time. Edited November 29, 2020 by Rochesterfan
