2 of them did so in a bubble. Baseball is going to a bubble now and had the Cardinals play 53 games in 44 days.
im not going to freak out but football has the biggest rosters and most people connect to a team. It is by far the most riskiest to keep virus free. So while it’s not freak out fine, it’s definitely very concerning.
NFL is not shutting down, especially with College Football playing.
I’m sure there are contingency plans, likely the Week 18 addition for make up games.
As far as playoffs go, no reason the NFL can’t bubble if we don’t have a vaccine by then.

It's only a matter of time before the NFL shuts down. It seems another wave has started.
Lol... NFL is not shutting down. You think they’re going to be the only major sport that folds to this? No way..-

How is it possible that only he tested positive and not any other teammates? I’d be shocked if other Pats players or coaches don’t test positive as well. I bet the NE KC gets postponed.
AJ Terrell tested positive for the Falcons, and it never spread. -
NFL should probably just make Week 18 official and announce Bills/Titans as the first game on the slate.
Obviously if the positives stop accumulating over the weekend, we should play, but the Titans seem to be an absolute dumpster fire right now.

This team has been built for year-in/year-out sustainable success. I absolutely love that Beane took this approach. Cap space is managed well and we are very solid in player evaluation/drafting.
That all being said, and the great start to the year.... THE biggest thing we’ve gotten out of 2020 is that we have a potentially elite franchise QB.
No matter what happens this year... it just feels amazing to finally have that piece of the puzzle solved.

Adam Schefter isn't one for hot takes, it might not:
7 players so far... that’s workable if it stops here, or doesn’t progress too much further, but yea... I think it’s obvious that if that number doubles over the weekend and we hit Monday with 14-15 Titans players testing positive and no end to the continuous days of positive tests that our game would be in jeopardy.
That said, the Titans used up their bye week bullet... Only other option I’ve heard is a “Week 18” make up date for games before the Playoffs start.

There's no way they could allow the Titans to miss two straight weeks right? They really should either have to field a team or forfeit.
Agreed.
Postponed Steelers game is their mulligan. If they have a full blown outbreak, they need to deal with it. Can’t destroy the whole season because of one team.
....and maybe this was all out of their control and the Titans did nothing wrong, but all I know is (so far) two teams have had COVID exposure. One team (Falcons) followed the protocols and it was a non-issue. The other team (Titans) are now a dumpster fire.

NFL should have done two bye weeks for every team. Half the teams should have had a bye the 7th week and the other half the 8th week. They should have done the same for week 14 and 15. That would have put the Superbowl the day before President's Day. Also would have made changes quicker
I heard somewhere that there are contingency plans for a “Week 18” if games need to be postponed after the bye weeks. -
Uhhhh.... big yikes

I’m no rules expert, but I’m pretty sure that’s actually an interception.

Jets playcalling right there in the red zone was hilariously awful

A blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes, I guess.
it seems like they got Becton right, but the rest of that Jets draft is trash, random or injured (Mims).
...and the guy they got right, they seem to actively be trying to destroy.

Is Desir a ghost?.. does he even exist in the physical realm?

This game is a bloodbath
-
This Jets Defense is imploding
-
I find myself rooting for the Jets
A) Because I don’t want Trevor Lawrence there
and
B) I feel awful for Sam Darnold
Great run by him!!

it did happen
The Pittsburgh-Tennessee game scheduled for Week 4 will be rescheduled to later this season after one additional Titans player and one personnel member tested positive for COVID-19 today. An announcement of the new game date will be made shortly.
The decision to postpone the game was made to ensure the health and safety of players, coaches and game day personnel. The Titans facility will remain closed and the team will continue to have no in-person activities until further notice.
We're not discussing the same thing. I know they moved the game. You're saying they did so, potentially, because of the incubation period... They did not postpone due to that... because they were going to play Monday night if there were no positive tests today.

its that ten days incubation where potentially you could by asymptomatic that makes rescheduling for later in the year more sense as they had an additional positive come in and there could be more.
I get that, but that doesn't really apply here. The game was going to happen Monday or Tuesday if nobody else tested positive. The incubation period still applies when guys tested positive yesterday.
I agree they'd have to postpone if more tested positive after today... i'm simply saying I would've waited to see if that happened.

The point is next week those players might still be out but they can play us after making sure no one else has it.
What if nobody else tests positive tomorrow or Saturday? They could have just pulled up a couple guys off their practice squad, practiced Sunday and played the game Monday or Tuesday, and then played us as well.
It just seems like this is exactly what the expanded practice squad was for.. Now, obviously, if more cases arise and it becomes a full blown outbreak, well then they are a mess regardless.

Assuming we'll be picking pretty late in the round, and all the top tier DEs and DBs go early...
Do you go 2nd tier DE/DB, or 1st tier TE/OG?
The easy answer is: Whoever Beane feels is BPA, regardless of position.
I don't think we need a OG... Cody Ford looks like he's going to be a good one at that position, we have Spain under contract and it seems like the FO likes Feliciano and may bring him back.
I'd go BPA RT, EDGE or CB (or Kyle Pitts if he's there)

I posted this on the other titans thread but Chris spielman’s brother is the GM of the Vikes and therefore given the information on what occurred with the titans as they had just played them. Spielman said on his podcast yesterday that it’s his understanding that a PS player on the titans tested positive on Saturday before the team left for minny. The player didn’t travel. That player had been in contact with a coach, who then held a meeting with a group of players while on the road in close quarters, and didn’t wear a mask. No one is tested on Sundays (Gameday). Monday the positives came back. If true, and no reason to not believe Spielman but of course it is second hand from Rick, but it was a break in protocol.
Absolutely unacceptable, if true.. That's just so frustrating to read.
Was wondering what the difference could be between the Falcons who had one case, and isolated it with no further issues, and the Titans...

Does it really though?
The Titans coaches spent all week gaming planning and watching film for the Steelers, now they have to scrap all that an do it all over again for the Bills. Not to mention the whole team is not allowed at the facility, so they cannot even practice what the coaches implement until they are cleared to go back and that might not even be till mid-week next week. Sounds more to me like a cluster-you know what than a strategic advantage. If it's an advantage, it's minimal in my opinion.
This is also a terrible time to have a bye.. so early to begin with, and add in the fact that we had no preseason and teams (see our defense) are still trying to adjust to live action/tackling etc..
Cam Newton tests positive for Covid, OUT Sunday v Chiefs UPDATE: Game postponed

Not gonna lie, I tuned into a baseball playoff game randomly and the announcer mentioned that they lost a player earlier in the game to injury...and I’m just like, how?
