If I were a Steelers fan, I’d be pissed too.  This has very real likelihood of nixing Steelers bye in the playoffs.  

 

Couldn't happen to a better group! Let them get pissed, I still think we got hosed over more. They got a bye last time and now dont have to play on a short week if they play Sunday. Not really that big of a deal honestly. Now if Sunday gets canceled... we'll see.

I get that, but bending over backwards to cover incompetence screws other teams.

 

they probably should’ve just moved it to Monday earlier and flip flopped which week was the steelers long week off... but just because something isn’t happening exactly as planned doesn’t mean anyone’s been screwed. It’s not ideal, sure, but nothing about 2020 is and you either came into this season looking for solutions, or for punishments.

 

sliding a game a few days is hardly bending over backwards. And if you think it is you never actually wanted to see the season happen 😂

The Baltimore Poe-birds say another player and "a couple of staff members" test positive and go on the Covid list, contact-tracing to follow

It's said these results will not affect plans for Sunday's game against the Pissed-off Steelers

Just came here to post this.. yup.

[Big Blitz]

They reported no new positives this am 

 

He probably tested positive earlier in week.

First week 18 game?

[Big Blitz]

Never mind he must have been the one

I know Goodell declined to do this with the Titans (a clear mistake, in hindsight), but the NFL really needs to call this a Ravens forfeit. This is the only real Deterrent to violating the rules in such a way as to cause a widespread outbreak and endanger the safety of many players and staff. 
 

if they don’t bring down the hammer, I guarantee we will continue to see other instances of non-compliance across the league. You can’t have a staffer who doesn’t wear his mask, and doesn’t report symptoms. There’s no excuse. 

[Big Blitz]

So we test these guys twice a day?  Move the game to Tuesday.  Problem is Ravens supposed to play Dallas Thursday night.

Cases are exploding all over the country I think NFL needs to do something I’m not saying a bubble type but SOMETHING, and teams need to be held more  accountable or else I’m afraid the rest of the season and the playoffs won’t end / start on schedule

Not gonna happen. Not only did they not punish the titans, they went out of the way on the broadcast to praise them for their tenacity. Crap happens. BMORE will lose anyways now without Ljax

[Big Blitz]

With the Steelers on track to get a bye, the case to move this to week 18....it ain't happening 

 

Play the game Tuesday.  Move that Thursday game.

Ravens basically admitted fault and recklessness by punishing one of their coaches. They should just be forced to forfeit.

And the broadcasters said nothing about players continuing to practice post facility closedown.

They were coconspirators in coverup.

Seems like the way it's going, the Ravens might struggle to put out a team of backups, let alone starters.

 

In many respects, it seems as though the NFL as a whole, has done remarkably well to avoid this type of scenario, for as long as it has.

 

I think we are getting to the point where there are going to be some decisions made, that a lot of people aren't going to like, simply to keep the season on track.

 

There may be a need for teams to forfeit games, not so much because they couldn't be rescheduled, but more because there is no guarantee, that a rescheduled game, can be played at a much later date - e.g. week 18

 

In some ways, it's ironic that the NFL has got through almost 3/4 of the regular season, but might have to then go down the route of some games being forfeited, because they are running out of time.

Exactly, that's why I'm saying NFL will do everything to avoid a black eye on them or their teams. See no evil, hear no evil.

S*** like ^^^^ If you have to postpone the game more then once then the game should be forfeited ( f**** the Ravens )  and the same for everyone else who doesn’t start taking  this s*** more seriously

I haven’t been quick to say “forfeit” on any game, but i think this should be the first.  They will seriously have to jack up the Pittsburgh schedule to get this one in, and that’s not fair.
