Ravens, Titans, and now Browns? Biological warfare is the only reasonable explanation for the trend at this point. In Italia 90 Word Cup, Argentina plays Brazil in elimination game (round of 16). in some moment of the game, a brazilian player drinks water from a Argentinian assitant waterbotle and it is believed that the water had xanax (a drug). here is the history in spanish (I cant find the history in english, but you can use the translator - or learn spanisha). https://as.com/futbol/2020/06/24/reportajes/1592979406_201752.html

Wait 18 years and their head coach/playcaller will miss the playoff game I still can’t fathom why they wouldn’t set up a quarantine box so they can call the game at least. Not ideal but these guys work so hard for this. id lock myself and team in the building and bubble up.

He IS a POS. Baker? Those commercials are annoying but all in all he doesn't bother me as much as his WR's do. Go BILLS!

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 1 hour ago, Simon said: I couldn't disagree more. It's not a co-incidence that this seems to keep happening to the same team(s). At some point, being responsible for your own procedures becomes more important than being accommodated by other people. I say that your time and date are set in stone and you bring who you can bring. If you've got to put a 340lb DT at the X receiver, too bad you should have done a better job following protocol. If you've got a long snapper lining up at Corner, too bad, you should have done a better job following protocol. If you've got a LB taking snaps from a punter, too bad, you should have done a better job following protocol. good points. I don’t disagree with you on a lot of this. the concern I have is the NFL cannot see one of its star players here come down with covid through no fault of their own. And even the model teams, get a positive here and there, and then that knocks out a few others based on contact tracing. The idea I proposed a few weeks ago was basically each player can designate a protected player or two. If that person had to go on the covid list, you reschedule. To minimize issues, you could make that rule applicable to just the divisional or conference games and beyond.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 2 hours ago, The Wiz said: So the NFL said there was no evidence of spread within the facility prior to Sunday, which is why game went on. The question is, are these still separate instances vs. spread within the facility? Or are we now dealing with a Ravens-like outbreak?

How much you want to bet they house him somewhere where he is on real time, 10 different videos and a direct feed to all his major guys, OC, DC,Line Coach and so on. it’s not like he is not used to super multi tasking.

The thing that concerns me is essentially the Kroft situation, where apparently he had one positive test and was ruled out, followed by 5 negative tests. The lab has to do better there, and the NFL has to do better there. Can you imagine if they ruled out a star or key player who had no known contacts with an infected person, then had 5 successive negative tests, and it arguably cost a playoff game? 3 minutes ago, machine gun kelly said: he’s a good coach.

To avoid interference, I think the NFL has pretty strict protocols about communications. If they allow a communication protocol where a coach outside the stadium can be patched in, that means they're opening a window where interference can occur (think all the Foxborough stories) 1
Big Turk Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 55 minutes ago, JGMcD2 said: The thing is they’re not being careful. I know it for a fact. A friend of mine is related to a Browns player and another lives in Cleveland... he said his friends saw Baker and Kareem out at the bar with a few teammates after they clinched a playoff spot. I asked him why nobody snapped a photo and they said “we wouldn’t do that to our own.” I then said, “Well how do you know your friends aren’t lying?” To which he replied “Well Baker’s wife posted a photo of them there, but you can’t tell where they are unless you know the bar.” Here’s the link... https://www.instagram.com/p/CJomL2YFHLs/?hl=en Cleveland fans deserved so much better than that. That is complete and utter BS their players would clearly and willingly violate NFL COVID protocols the week before the playoffs after their team breaks the longest playoff drought in the NFL.

The question is, are these still separate instances vs. spread within the facility? Or are we now dealing with a Ravens-like outbreak? Not just was there no evidence the prior positives weren't from team spread, there was objective evidence that it was not. They tested positive for three different strains of the virus. Team spread within the facility would be a uniform strain leaping from person to person. I'm sure the league will do what they did last time and have the test samples genome sequenced to get an idea of what they're dealing with and go from there.

Good point. It’s sad as I just don’t see the issue. There are easy ways to set up safe and strict communications, but appreciate the reminder. If other businesses can easily do it, I don’t get why the NFL can’t, but again, if a policy and didn’t know to be honest so my fault, there has to be consistency.
Royale with Cheese Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 The Browns are an unlikable team and I can’t stand them. But....really sucks this happened to them.

Penfield45 Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 Can’t believe the NFL gave the titans 3 weeks off and bent over for them but the browns are being forced to play their games 1
