Honestly, Tomlin deserves Coach of the Year award. TWICE now his team has been screwed over due to COVID, neither time was his team’s fault, and they’re still 10-0.

The problem being, no consistency.     why was this game postponed, but the Bills game last week not?  We lost 4 players.  The niners had a game where they were missing 6.  The picking and choo

They can cry about it, but they are lucky to be playing at all this year. Given the circumstance, this is what they signed up for. There are a lot more people in far worse situations from the pandemic

Who the hell watches that crap?  It has to be terrible this year.  I’m sure all the B level celebrities and stuff will be virtual.  Everyone in masks.

This is good for the Bills, no? Steelers should be absolutely gassed playing Wednesday, Monday and then Sunday. 


I want to be the team to end their unbeaten run 

 

let’s hope they remain undefeated until then and we give them a wake up call

NFL: We will not use basic common sense and add a week to the schedule so teams During a pandemic are not forced into bad situations. This would somehow make us look dumb.

 

Also NFL:  We will play on Wednesday at 3:40 because NBC has to air a christmas tree getting lit.

This year with all that's happened it might be more popular than usual.

Which is kind of the point I made in another thread. If one tests positive, spread it to the team. Then they will postpone the game forever until enough starters are out of the protocol. 


 

Or they will force a team to play without 14 starters and top back-ups.

 

Plus the team, coaches and FO will be heavily fined and you will lose draft picks, but ok sounds like a plan.

The NFL didn't have the common sense to just add two buffer weeks between Week 17 and the Wildcard round and now everyone's paying for it.


 

The NFL could not mandate that - need NFLPA approval and that was not given.

 

Same with people complaining about bubbles and additional bye weeks.  All were rejected by the NFLPA without compensation.

So are you suggesting adding a week 18 to the schedule and as of this point, have one game Balt V Pitt play that day believe it would be Jan 10th?

Which has been more true thus far, my scenario or yours?

My scenario- your scenario has occurred twice and both times the teams had significant numbers of players missing - so the delay did not allow everyone back.

 

The big difference with the Titans was that were able to shift a bye week which did allow some players to get back. Bye weeks are gone - these theses are going to be missing a ton of players.

 

The Ravens will be missing 15 players including their QB, top RBs, and a huge group of DBs.

 

You can ask, but my guess is the Ravens would of preferred a Denver situation with just missing your QB as some of these players may miss more than 1 game.

 

But please feel free to believe your thought that a ravaged team is better off because they could delay a game a day or 2.

Titans will be missing 15 players?  Were there suspensions handed out that I haven't seen?  (seriously asking).

 

And to your last point, a ravaged team has already pushed a game back from Thursday night to the following Wednesday which is 6 days.  Meanwhile, Denver (who actually controlled their Covid situation), didn't get moved a second and had to play a PS WR as their QB.

And the ravens will still be playing incredibly short handed but without a contagious outbreak being on the field of play.

 

this isn’t difficult. Why are some of you so determined to act like it’s more dramatic than it is?

Let's be realistic, other than Lamar being out, how shorthanded would they really be?  He's pretty much the entire offense so him playing vs him not is a huge difference.  Yes I know a bunch of players are out but he's the only one that matters on that side of the ball right now for them.

 

 

Other than that, not being dramatic.  Just asking the question of why it's fair that some teams violate the protocol and get to postpone their game for a week (and then get players back from covid or normal IR) while other teams follow it and are punished by having to play shorthanded?

the answer is easy, obvious and publicly known. 
 

if this is too controversial I’d hate to see reactions to the nfl making decisions based off rushed investigations and arbitrary ratings of how impacted teams are by specific players

Schefter said at halftime that Lamar should be back. Not sure about the rest. I know the RBs will be back. But there are bunch of other guys on it

Not to be crass but you didn't answer either of my questions.

 

Are Titan players being suspended because of the protocol violations?

Why are teams following the protocol punished while the teams that are not getting games postponed and allowing all of the players to come back?

 

What is the easy, obvious and publicly known answer?
