The National Football League

Gee that would never happen

Ideally this sort of scenario would have been discussed in advance. If they’re all playing by the same rules, then every team has the possibility of losing their QB on short notice in this manner. So there is nothing unfair about it at all.

Sure, but it seems like the NFL didn’t have a standard in place for this and are just winging it as to how many positive tests = postponement vs. cancellation.

I saw somewhere that NFL planned a couple extra weeks between championship games and the superbowl to accommodate postponements. If that’s true, they do have some options for postponing games. Just add the games onto the end of the season and push the playoffs back.

Seems like they didn’t plan well enough, specifically for multiple outbreaks on the same team. We are drawing very live to that still.

The Titans have this now

I mean to the point where it affects multiple weeks/games. It’s not as big a deal now as it would be four weeks from now, when it would be a pretty big problem.

I am trying to find out how much being on the practice squad means interacting with the rest of the team. Hoping it’s low but fearing it’s the same as being on the team.

Cam though - shit. He’s gotta be spewing all over everyone.

You’ve seen Rudy, right?

Guessing the entire team is pozzed. The other players absolutely love this guy and he is so animated and outgoing (he seemed to have nicknames for basically every player in training camp) that I’m guessing he spread it everywhere.

You literally practice against them daily

Yeah a diminished slate of games really makes red zone less appealing.

LOL at Tuesday. Do they mean Election Day?

I think they mean Tuesday the 6th

They’ll all be contagious by Tuesday, though. Just in time!

Chiefs’ scout team qb went all in mimicking Cam this week.
