I hope you’re right. But the nfl is by far the worst run of the sports leagues.  Roger is a moron. 

As much as we gripe about Roger, NFL is by far the best run of the major sports.  Not really close, either.

[Nextmanup]

I wonder if this development will force the tv networks to re-think their coverage for tomorrow.

 

Almost the entire country was going to get the NE vs. KC game.

 

Now maybe I have a shot at the BUF vs. LV game instead.

 

Our game is now much more interesting to the average objective fan, I would think, compared to the NE game minus Cam.

Seriously?  'ol Noodly Arm himself > Stidham?

 

I was hearing all sorts of stuff from my Pats fan friend a year ago about how much they liked Stidham and he was going to be their next Jimmy G and looked great in shorts^H^H^H^H^H^Htraining camp

Totally disagree brah.  Football is just the best sport and a monkey could run it and make a ton of money.  The players were complaining during camps about the NFL’s plans for the season.

NFL isn't going to finish the season when the Bills are finally Super Bowl contenders.

 

Just our luck.

Right? We'll' be like 5-0 or 4-1 and the season will get cancelled.

 

So Billsy........

I expect if the KC game turns into a bloodbath the network may switch coverage. 

 

If NE D manages to contain Mahomes and it remains a close game, that would be a heck of a story line so they'll stay with it.

That's what I'm hoping for. But I doubt they will change it since it's tomorrow. But guess you never know.

I don't get this concept of "tainted", @BillsFanSD.  I mean, I know some people will say stuff, but they would say stuff if the player were out for a couple of games with a physical injury or a different illness like Mono.

 

Oh, please. It's 2020. What kind of chucklehead gets mono? 

[716er]

This game will be delayed. Everyone gets to watch the Bills and Raiders.

Atlanta had a guy out of their game last week with a positive Covid test.  

 

Im sorry Cam has it, but if no other Patriots test positive they should play. i’m sure Belichek doesn’t want to play without his best QB so i anticipate the Pats do what they can do to get this game rescheduled 

[mannc]

Chiefs-Pats now off the board.  Would be nice if they switch us to Bills-Raiders for the CBS afternoon game tomorrow.

Awe crap I just remembered he’s my fantasy QB. See i told you all I would jinx him 

That's what you get for putting the NE* QB on your team.

[Wayne Cubed]

I think people are questioning if the game will play because of 1. Who the player is that got the positive result and 2. Because of what’s happening with the Titans.

 

Saying that, no one thought anything of the Falcons/Bears match up last week when a player tested positive close to the game. If NE** has followed protocol there should be no reason why this game can’t go forward.

This. 

 

Also, how is it less impressive if team A manages to avoid covid and win a championship? If anything this is more impressive as it demonstrates the teams commitment to adapting and doing what it takes. 

 

Hap, is there any supplements our boys can start OD'in on to help avoid it? Should we just start mailing care packages of Vitamin C and fish oil to OBD??

If they delay this game because ONE player is sick, then I'll start supplying the pitchforks.

Of course it will.  New England plays which include New Hampshire.

Can you rephrase?

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.

 

So they have that proximity monitor they're all supposed to wear.  I guess it will depend upon who qualifies as a close contact based on the proximity detector; I'm sure they're all being re-checked.

 

Maybe Cam was out clubbing in Vegas.

How many days in a row have Titans players been diagnosed since their first case?

I think the fact that we only see one + in NE is a positive... Didn't we hear about like 5 cases all at once in the Titans lockerroom? Seems like an isolated + could be mean it's not going to cause any major damage.
