Playoff Solutions Assuming they don’t replay the Bengals game.
NoSaint replied to Locomark's topic in The Stadium Wall
conversationally saying that is different than literally quitting the nfl has also come out several times saying they did not intend to restart the game, contrary to the ESPN comment but you know these things no, they’d much rather host in a 2 v 3 showdown to go to the Super Bowl -

while I hear what your saying, it also still makes a ton of sense among imperfect solutions and may actually be the most reasonable approach if not for the emotions it evokes and the inability of a guy like Keyshawn Johnson to explain it -

the idea of removing a random game from the chiefs makes more sense than simply week 17. Which is allegedly the nfl front running plan -

there’s no giant asterisk. It’ll be forgotten near instantly. -

was typing the same thing and got an error. I’ll shorthand it to “call me back when Miami fixes their stadium or allows shade for visitors” if you want to talk to me about the nfl owing fairness to all teams. It’s a standard the league doesn’t believe in, outside of preserving ratings to preserve income. im cool if they make it up, and cool if you skip it. Nothing about that is unfair… and frankly even if it was it’s not even among the most egregious examples that needs to be fixed. -

you should bet your house and retirement on it I guess -
yea, between college, camps, regional connections (high schools with an nfl talent or two find their way to state championships often), shared agents, shared marketing guys, pro bowls, etc… guys are on each others radars for a lot of years in that super elite skill range that makes up the nfl brotherhood. And that’s all outside the roster churn of playing together or getting together for fun in the off-season

I think the nfl quietly hopes it’ll prove to be inconsequential after this weeks games.
-
I think no news is still no news at this crossroads, unfortunately- it could just as easily be a rough patch but waiting on a miracle. Just have to wait and see. I know this all intuitively but had hoped for a lil something still. Just being human. Especially after clicking through that one guys Twitter account a few mins ago (totally my own fault)
-
Probably not. they know it’s a dangerous game, and have seen guys paralyzed. I think the retirement talk is larger being a prisoner of the emotions of the moment- on Sunday they will be nfl players, and for many it’s everything they ever dreamed of, even knowing the risk. hell, the concussion stuff illustrates the need for outsiders to intervene and stop the players from hurting themselves
-
yea, a scripted first drive only means so much. It was two big teams in a heavyweight fight- looking at the first punch from each means little on who would be standing hours later
-
everyone handles it different and we will all project our own preferred method on it but I’ve admittedly been a person that appreciates the opportunity to be distracted. I can only fill so many hours with worry or grief. I suspect today will see a big team meeting to talk about some of the what do we do now personally and professionally- and I think our staff is exceptional at that probably light workouts, film and general being together today with a lot of flexibility and then get into the grind tomorrow barring a catastrophic update today
-
the ambulance remained for some time before leaving. that said I don’t think the league stood any chance of making that call within minutes of him going down so I doubt that was a heavy consideration. the bigger issue on the delay was simply that there is no reason to race public announcements. It sucked for viewers but sometimes that’s just life.
-
Yea, I think It depends on the trajectory it’s taking if going to norms it’s probably a statement from family/reps with a thanks for concern and currently stable but not out of the woods sooner and a more meaningful update but still high level later in the day we might not have concrete for a bit here
