He’s missed the last 2.75 games and is not 100%, therefore the game as a gauge is not valid. It’s turns in a biased result. I’d be with you entirely if he was fully healthy, or as healthy as a NFL player can be, and hadn’t missed almost entirely the last 3 games. Facing BB’s scheming and defense would be a FANTASTIC measuring stick. But not given situation with Drew’s health and his not playing recently. Agreed. Lock needs to sit until he is 100%. There’s no win bringing him back earlier than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bMiller031 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Looks like it’ll be Miami on 10/18 as @AnAngryAmerican predicted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because other players could be infected and still test negative. Plus the nfl is not actually testing on gamedays. So unless they are doubly cautious they run the risk of just exacerbating any outbreaks and spiraling out of control 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that's not how this virus works. There's false negatives, false positives, asymptomatic players, no gameday testing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncosFan2010 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 They really should have done a 14 game season to allow for more flexibility in rescheduling due to COVID. Would have been good on the players health as well as this injury flurry cant just be a coincidence, lack of preseason practices and dare I say preseason games has a lot of guys stiff on the field and getting more injuries IMO. More time off means more time to let their not-ready-for-full-contact bodies recharge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More time off means more time to let their not-ready-for-full-contact bodies recharge. Agreed. I'd also add, they should have clustered games together and create mini bubbles with a quarantine So our scheduled for example should have looked something like: Bubble (4 teams) Vs AFC West (Chiefs, Chargers, Raiders, Chiefs, Chargers, Raiders) 2 weeks bye Bubble (8 teams) vs NFC South East (Tampa, Panthers, Saints, Falcons) 2 weeks bye Bubble (8 teams) vs AFC East (Bills, Patriots, Dolphins, Jets) 2 weeks bye vs Steelers and Titans. (these wouldn't be a bubble and would look most like the system does now since these games for everyone look different. These games are the ones I would have removed to make space for the extra bye weeks) Edited October 12, 2020 by grizmo78 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
