KellyToTasker Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 The NFL needs to hit the pause button. They largely went unscathed during the regular season. View it as getting across a hurdle, the closing of one chapter in the 20-21 year. Just pause, re-evaluate, and make needed adjustments to see us through the Super Bowl. At this rate (by staying the course), the eventual champion will have a huge asterisk because they played a team without a key player in the Super Bowl. The Titans were catered to, the Browns are getting hosed. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way the NFL wants guys like Mahomes or Rodgers unable to play a playoff game I don't doubt the NFL would do that but is it them reporting test results or an independent group? I honestly don't know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way the NFL wants guys like Mahomes or Rodgers unable to play a playoff game They might not want it, but as they are hard enough about it, to make the Broncos play a game without a recognised QB, then a team missing its starter, isn't going to phase them. Their attitude is, in effect, that whoever is missing, is the result of 'injury'. There has been talk, in the past, of getting teams to 'bubble' for the playoffs, but whether or not that happens, is another question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I've changed my mind about Sunday. Rest all the key starters and self isolate Josh and Diggs from everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they've stepped up the turn-around, what's nerve racking is getting the results of Fri am's tests at 4:30 am on Saturday I think McDermott, Daboll and Frazier going to be waking up at 4:25 am tomorrow 6 minutes ago, Rock'em Sock'em said: Fromm was not elevated, did not see any WRs that I can see.

I guess - though I'd think in today's environment they're all on notice to be called upon. Letting your guard down is equal to letting your team down.

They should follow NFL protocol, wash hands, sing the happy birthday song twice doing so, and then shake. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't know. I don't know either. If it's team Dr's, I wouldn't doubt in anyway that the more important players probably barely even get swabbed for these tests. A quick swipe along the tip of the nose will do 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is Diggs, white, hughes, poyer/hyde, some lbs all inactive. Josh plays a series or two. And that's it. Really? No reason to think otherwise?

REALLY funny! 1 hour ago, CorkScrewHill said: Two things I wonder about: 1) will they stop the needless hand shaking after games .. it is bizarre how they have all these protocols in place but then after the game they are hugging and otherwise getting close to the other team. Simply maddening. 2) will players who already tested positive be exempt from the close contact protocol? Re: 1) - couldn't agree more. no clue on 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
