What did actually happen is that Harbaugh cried to the league repeatedly and the Steelers had to go to Baltimore on a short week (an actual disadvantage). I'm sorry that Harbaugh and the Ravens come up small in primetime games. Really, I am. Tears and everything. Playing in prime time on the road isn't an actual disadvantage any self-respecting head coach should be crying about. Um, no? You're just factually incorrect? Lol can't tell if you're just misinformed or a liar. I'm banking on liar. The Ravens have had the least home MNF games in the league since 2008. Last night was their 3rd. They've played at Heinz Field 7 times in primetime in the last 9 seasons, and the Steelers have played at M&T once in primetime in that span. Stop lying to make yourself look better. And Harbaugh and the Ravens have the league's best record in primetime home games at 14-2 you absolute clown 😂😂 😂😂 Man it must be exhausting just being so wrong so hard in such a small post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league isn't going to want to set a precedent. But leave it to a Baltimore fan to hold a 12 year grudge about having their bye week shifted around because Houston had a hurricane.

Broncofan Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Do we know yet the Titans players who tested positive are? If it was a Titans WR then you can probably exclude the Vikes CB’s they definitely were more than 6 feet away at all times. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn''t "test positive for Covid", they tested positive for the virus designated Sars-Cov-2 (or a piece of RNA there of). Covid19 is "Coronavirus Disease 2019", a set of clinical symptoms associated with the virus. You can't be tested for that, it's just a syndrome of connected symptoms. If you have a positive test - assuming you're not one of the false positives, which can be caused by myriad factors - then you have (or have had at some point in the past) come into contact with the virus (or possibly one of the other coronaviruses, it's not a good test). You don't have "Covid" unless and until you display the symptoms - which most people won't (asymptomatic in anything up to 80% of cases). The media conflating asymptomatic carriers with people who actually have a disease has caused so much unnecessary confusion and fear during this whole ordeal. You can be asymptomatic and still spread Covid 19 to others on the team and staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the stock answer is that the players tested negative on Sunday - but that's hardly surprising or comforting, given the time lag between exposure and test positivity. The players who were exposed and now tested positive could create a massive cascade. MIN can only wait and hold their breath. Hopefully this sinks in to every team and every player / coach / staff member to realize how they could become a patient zero for a team outbreak. The fact the coaches tested positive does show why distancing and masking (along with good hand hygiene) is necessary, even if you aren't on the field. Hopefully it's a lesson only 1-2 teams have to learn, for the rest of the league to adapt and tighten their practice. There should really ever only be 1 case like this, every team & the league need to adjust and adapt accordingly, if they want the season to complete. Thank you for this post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for making me go back to look up the stat, because it’s much worse than i thought. Last 6 seasons it’s been 5 primetime games in Pittsburgh and 0 in Baltimore. Whatever, you got your wish. You won’t have a slight competitive disadvantage - the other team will have a major one without practicing this week. Cant wait for the Ravens to ruin your Thanksgiving in that (not so coincidentally) primetime game later this year at Heinz. Take care Edited September 29, 2020 by Ray Reed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossibleCabbage Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I think the eyes are on the Vikings (who the Titans just played) and the next team the Titans play (whoever that is). If it turns up guys start testing positive from those teams, I have to think the season might be in jeopardy/shortened/moved to a bubble etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the other option would have been to take out the players exposed. Obviously that would have implications on competitive balance. The fact the league & Titans took a “let’s hope it’s all ok” & did nothing doesn’t happen again. Edited September 29, 2020 by Broncofan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep seeing players missing time as a competitive disadvantage...I get the practice part but how is a player being ruled out any different from getting hurt? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
