Virus isn’t that serious to young people While every NFL player who winds up getting it likely will be fine, they aren't the only people at risk. You have the families of the players, then you have coaches(who fit in to all sorts of age brackets), officials, trainers, etc. That's what everyone always seems to forget about this virus. It's not about "oh I'm young if I get it I'll be just fine, it's no worse than the flu", and yeah that might be the case, but all the elderly or people with comorbidities you can infect may not be "just fine". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawgX Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Yeah, as much as it pains me to say, I really don't see how the season finishes with how the NFL has managed this whole thing. It's been really pathetic on their part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanSlim Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Once again, the next few days will be crucial. If it comes out that more Patriots or Raiders have it, than it’ll officially be danger time for the NFL(if it’s not already). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Titans had two new people get positives today when they were shut down this time last week. It’s dangerous to even assume the Patriots can practice and have games for at least two weeks. Likewise it was dangerous To have a game last Monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a numbers game. That’s not even including relatives 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 It's hilarious to me that the NFL is operating outside of the basic structure that we as high school football programs have to abide by with contact tracing. It's comical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXsteeler Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 So, I don't see how you can let the Patriots or Chiefs practice or play a game at all this week. The safe thing to do is to assume every single member of both teams/coaching staffs have it or are in the process of getting it. Clearly there is a lag time where a player tests negative but is already in the process of becoming positive. If the NFL doesn't take a break for mass testing and quarantine this weekend then the season is 100% over and will be canceled soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
