hemma Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 If the NFL doesn't give a *****, I think the players should reciprocate. Potentially getting injured for this crap? No way. I think the D should 'olé ' every play and the O should take a knee all game. 500 to 0. screw it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Had the Broncos not eliminated fans for the final home games, they could have run the ever popular 'Bronco QB For a Day' promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Even though the Ravens are getting some favoritism, they're still going to be without the QB who gives them a chance in their biggest game of the season so far. And again the Broncos were stupid for not sequestering a QB. I have no sympathy for them. As the saying goes: "poor planning on your part does not make an emergency on my part."

Couldn’t get a new guy through team protocol in time. 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. Was he hurt? No , if my memory serves me tight. Three linemen could block for whoever was back there.

What makes thr QB position any different. We need consistency... if their is an outbreak reschedule and if one position group cant play then game should still go on The difference is that teams can game-plan around a TE more easily - play a good-blocking WR, play 2 back sets Whereas a QB touches the ball on every play Still, Denver could have isolated a QB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_In_NH Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) The Broncos could not sign a new guy given protocols of onbaording and they tried to get some kind of a petition to sign a coach I guess and the NFL declined it. Why would you need a petition to sign a guy even if he is a coach? It is fair that he would not be subject to the multitple day onboarding/covid testing. Seems plausible to me. Anyway, the fact the QB's were not wearing masks together takes away any leniency the NFL may have given them. The Bills are smart how they are handling Fromm.

Punching Bag Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 12 hours ago, Doc said: Bring in a QB and have him learn their system in 5 days? And no one good is available anyway. Let the former college QB/NFL WR do it. They actually have someone on staff who played QB and I am saying Elway. There are rules about coaches playing from old days when teams would stash players on staff to get around roster limits but NFL could grant an exception.

To be fair...We all probably were last week It sounds crazy and it only applies to a team with no real playoff hopes...but something like this must be a little bit fun for a coach. An OC has a chance to do something really wild and outside the box today. Possibly even cutting edge or revolutionary. If you are a competitor, you kind of love that challenge. Also, if you suck nobody is going to think twice. If you win somehow, you might be in play for big time promotions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Doug Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 This is probably just the league drawing a line in the sand. This is obviously an ongoing problem and they can’t just keep rescheduling games. If your QB or whatever gets Covid, tough *****. You’re playing. Better prepare for the worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 4 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: Any idea as to why the NFL was so firmly set against this? Edit OK I see above. Unfair, teams could "store players as coaches". Eh, if the only time the team is allowed to dress a coach is if the whole position group is knocked out of a game with a contagious disease, not much advantage there. I'm not too impressed by "slippery slope" arguments when the slope in question is reached by a rare set of circumstances. I think the NFL is kind of being ***** to the Ponies here.

sven233 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Man, if I was the Broncos in this situation, I would have been hoping for more positive tests to come back yesterday and today. Only way the game could be pushed. But whatever, man, You don't follow the rules, you have to deal with the fallout. The only thing I wish that was different right now is that it would be great if we were playing them today. I think we'll beat them in a few weeks anyway, but this would be the biggest lock win of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1968 he played 3 games at QB when we lost four QBs to injury. He was the teams disaster QB and 1968 was truly a disaster. I will never forget the game we lost to the Raiders 13-10. I was a kid watching that game with my Dad and Uncles. We had the ball on the 1 yard line and Rutkowski ran a bootleg. I thought he scored but he actually fumbled. It almost went out of bounds but it was ruled in bounds and recovered by Oakland. I cried. Everyone laughed at me. I insisted he scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevestojan Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I have no feelings one way out the other about the Broncos, but this is the ultimate “stop testing us” from the NFL.
