Hebert19 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 What would league do if burrow Rodgers or Brady got covid late in week? We can't bubble these guys and it's bound to happen with the new variant. All the playoff QBs are better to just get covid now in all honesty. Wentz may be last man standing if the rules don't change as he's not subject to new testing for 90 days. We would still have mitch at least for same reason. Just a general topic. How will they address this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Imo, it’s a fluid situation and will remain fluid. The league will choose to do what’s they think is best for the league at any moment, which could differ from the current protocols. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hebert19 Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 Ita actually a strategic advantage to have had an outbreak. Chargers have Williams and Allen who have already had as an example so won't be shorthanded. We should have Gabe Knox and Beasley regardless. Could be a real factor in playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 You don't get tested if you don't have symptoms and are vaccinated, so even if they do get it, the league won't know about it unless they get symptoms, and being asymptomatic with Omicron is really common for those who are vaccinated. So even though it is likely spreading like fire, it's going to affect playing time largely for those players who are not vaccinated because they are tested all the time, and I would guess that they are more likely to exhibit symptoms.

Matt_In_NH Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I think they would try to make reasonable accommodations, move the game out a couple days, not past Tuesday though. There are teams that wont be in the post season because of Covid already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the unvaccinated. Tons of unvaccinated have gotten Omicron and been asymptomatic. Nobody vaccinated or unvaccinated is missing the playoffs unless they want to. The NFL made it that way. I doubt a single player misses the playoffs due to Covid. Edited January 3, 2022 by Evian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be fascinating to see how this plays out, if a QB gets it in particular. I wouldn't be surprised to see some spur of the moment reaction from the NFL, switching things around, which is kind of bush league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I would have to look at the data. I'm assuming that being asymptomatic is at least slightly more common for those who are vaccinated, but yeah, there is still a high rate for the unvaccinated. But there is still a chance you can exhibit symptoms and then get tested and be out. But I think with the new protocols that we will see less players missing games.

Process Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Can someone explain how the eagles had 12 people test positive today? I thought vaccinated players were no longer getting tested? Surely they don't have that many unvaccinated players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 There's already a documentary about what will happen if a large number of players cannot play due to illness. Does anyone remember Second String? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If their game had real meaning this weekend there probably would have been no testing. lol The Eagles are playing a meaningless game. The NFL has a huge problem. They can't have vaccinated players sitting out while guys like Aaron Rodgers, Cole Beasley, and Carson Wentz are guaranteed to play as long as their teams are alive. The only way you can solve that problem is by making sure nobody tests positive. How do you do that? You only test players that want to be tested. Could you imagine if a vaccinated Tom Brady tested positive for the NFC Championship game at Green Bay and the unvaccinated Rodgers got to play? Nightmare for the NFL and the government that is trying to get everyone vaccinated. Edited January 3, 2022 by Evian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I don’t think you’ll see many starting qbs getting tested in the playoffs lol unless they show symptoms of course. They’re going to ‘randomly’ test all the bench qbs in the qb room and not the starters haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
