I just woke up to use the bathroom. smoked a cigarette, and I see this tweet .. I can't fall back asleep.  The Bills have been a major source of happiness for years but especially in this surreal year of 2020. 

God I hope the NFL goes a different route. 

Oh and Don't kill the messenger!

 

You shouldn't smoke.

I don’t believe anyone is freaking out but a break in play is pretty inevitable. These guys aren’t in a bubble and there seems to be an uptick in cases right now. A week ago today there were no positives. Look at what happened in 6 days.

 

It is what it is.

Florio is of the Dan Wolken/Darren Rovell school of Coronavirus hyperventilating.  
 

Unfortunately he’s cried wolf too much for me to take that seriously.

That was literally my 1st thought!!

My bad!

Oh and Cam was only Patriot to test positive. 

Looks like  Titans are only team with multiple players infected , obviously still waiting on rest of Saints players results too but that's a great sign.

I just can’t see any way no one else was infected. I know yesterday’s tests came back negative, but there’s indistinguishable incubation period. Cam practiced all week with his teammates. All of a sudden he’s positive stepping on the plane and no onther Pat* is?

 

I’m not buying it.

Falcons managed to contain it to one player.  
 

Vikings didn’t get it after playing the Titans.  
 

If the Pats/Chiefs can keep it contained, that would be a huge boost to the NFL, leaving only the Titans who had an outbreak.   If not, we could have problems.

Those stories are old. This is brand new.

No. Plenty of people freak out over this topic and have since March.

 

A break is not inevitable.

I agree about the freak out since March but I think you’ll see the NFL shut down for a bit by the end of this month. I mean, if a player test positive the day before, or the day of, a game, how can the NFL move forward with that game when there could be multiple other players infected that have yet to test positive?

 

I don’t have the answers but this doesn’t look good.

Huh? There were positives last week, what are you talking about? The difference this week is what’s happened with the Titans and we’ve had the first high profile player.

There is also the Saints player that tested positive the day before the game. How does the NFL handle that? Seclude him and send the rest of the players out to play with the possibility some are infected but have yet to give a positive test?

 

The Patriots game was postponed with one positive test that happened the day prior.

I will say, while I don’t believe this report at all, a “pause” would be such a horrible optic for the NFL.  
 

Every other league went into this with a plan, executed it (in MLB’s case, with bumps in the road) and had their season with minor interruptions.  
 

CFB is revving up to a full slate of conference games by November, and you have teams like Virginia Tech playing games without 20+ players, gutting their way through it.  Some games postponed, see Notre Dame etc.  

 

For the NFL to have to recalibrate for what everyone had to assume was inevitable, would be quite the admission of failure on a league level.

I’m sorry that you weren’t paying attention but a Falcons player tested positive last Saturday and they played the Falcons/Bears game. Not to mention the Titans practice squad player that tested positive last Saturday and didn’t travel with the team.

 

Again, the difference is what happened with the Titans this week. What we don’t know, which there are rumours that it happened, is if the Titans broke protocol.

Then why is the Patriots/Chiefs game postponed?

This. And who tf is “multiple coaches”? 

Weak journalism. Professional Rabble-Rousing

[whatdrought]

I hear Dan Quinn, Mike Zimmer, Bill O’Brian, and Adam Gase are very concerned.

 

Seriously though, I don’t consider this worth anything. Don’t forget that PFT is the group that was absolutely sure people would die because the league went forward with Free Agency and they said at the time that 30 GM’s were petitioning the league to cancel it...

I did pay attention.

 

I’ll repeat again, the reactions this week are because of what happened with the Titans.

Florio has been doing this since jump.  I don’t understand this mentality from some sports journalists that seem hell-bent on not having sports, but he’s been pushing the panic narrative far before today.
