See, that's the thing. Most leaders lack the strength to admit the obvious: that we will not return to business as usual by the fall. And I understand why competition pressures them into advertising optimistic plans for the near future. The NFL won't walk away from revenue until it's absolutely forced to. My college's president (I'm full-time faculty) hasn't really weighed in one way or the other. It's a bind, I get it. But it's a failure of imagination and leadership to keep pushing for a somewhat unlikely and definitely irresponsible outcome. We currently lack the testing/tracking infrastructure to fully reopen schools and any large public gatherings, like sporting events (and concerts, etc.) any time soon. So the brave and ethical thing to do is to openly plan for this extended disruption in innovative ways. But the market might punish companies who publicly announce such continued restrictions earlier than their competitors. Colleges who lay out plans for exclusively hybrid and/or online curricula and reduced resident density fear losing enrollment to other schools who don't, for example. I think an unchanged 17-week NFL schedule is unrealistic, and maybe irresponsible. There must be creative ways to adapt and uncover temporary opportunities. 1

Fauci is a doctor/scientist and has advised presidents of every party during every major public health crisis in the US since HIV. He is human, he can be wrong but he is most assuredly an honest man with no political dog in the hunt. The attacks on him are simply a case of: don't like the news, blame the messenger. He said this was going to be bad and with over a million cases and nearly 70,000 dead, I'd say its been pretty damn bad. Also, he is Italian so I have to believe him, capisce? 1 1 2

I am not trying to be obtuse..but explain to me the benefits of delaying the start of the season? I have to be missing something, and I want to understand what that is. Thank you in advance. And to be clear, i assume by delay the start you mean start up in Mid to late October?

I want as many games as possible with fans. Most likely there will be no fans at games until 2021.

4merper4mer Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 Just now, Buffalo_Stampede said: Whenever fans are allowed back to games. How much are tickets going to cost in 2037 when half the fans have been out of work for 17 years? 1

Suspending to 2021 makes more logical sense to me than starting in October, right when flu season is about to kick in .
thebandit27 Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 I don’t care if they play in a dimly lit basement; give me Bills football 1

October is the rumored contingency plan. NBA is rumored to be starting in December. It makes the most sense. Edited May 3, 2020 by Buffalo_Stampede 1
Greg S Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 Doesn't the schedule get released this week? I just hope they get to play it.

CaptnCoke11 Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 No fans will ruin it for me.. just cancel 2020 season if that’s the case

We will all be paying in pennies if it last more than 5 years. At least small businesses know where their loyalties lye with all these banks.

The NFL brings in 15-16 billion a year and most of that is thru TV. The ratings which are extremely high in normal times would be that much higher if fans can't attend. With the Bills poised to have a strong season I would be disappointed if this season got cancelled.
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 Idc if there are fans there or not. As long as it’s on TV, I’m good 1
