What happens if the Steelers have an outbreak later in the year? Do they forfeit games because they already had their bye week? 10000% agree. All these people defaulting to forfeit with absolutely zero suggestions, SMH. At least I am coming up with some alternatives, even if they don't agree with them.

If you think this is a “wild” take, then you’re one radical opinion away from flag football. But why should a team have to play 3 games in a weeks time and why do the other teams have to play multiple games in a week's time? You are playing at a high rate and putting your body through a lot and need to recover from it. You telling me someone can give 100% every other day, mentally and physically? Not to mention game planning from the coaching perspective. That to me is ridiculous to expect. There is a reason why this sport is so spread out because of how much is involved. Baseball you stand around most of the time with very little physical exertion. Minimal trauma to the body when you run bases compared to running at each other at full speed. Go out and run a marathon tomorrow, then again in 2 days, then again 2 days after that and you tell me if you can give me 100% on each run, that is basically what you are telling these guys to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I am coming up with some alternatives, even if they don't agree with them. The issue I am having is the investigation has shown that before the outbreak the titans were fined for not following simple protocols that both the NFL and NFLPA agreed on. Social distancing and masks were required with in the facility Titans have been sanctioned for it by not following the rules. Now that the players are said to be at home doing zoom meetings and not in the facility the containment should have stopped over a week ago being tested everyday proved that. Yet the titans are being investigated for having illegal practices/workouts with each other when they were suppose to avoid being around. That is on the Coaching staff and players. There are 32 teams and overall 31 have contained their players outside of a random 1 or 2 incidents because they abide by the rules that both NFL and NFLPA put in place before the season. It shouldn't be a punishment for the other 31 teams because 1 team cant follow proper procedures. We all want to see the game at its best and hope the season continues but if one team cant follow the simple rules the other 31 shouldnt suffer because of it. As more and more information comes out on it from the NFL proving that these were false claims and that Titans followed proper procedures then they need to come out with an extension but from what is being said by top guys who report this stuff with main sources are showing that the Titans have been in the wrong on multiple occasions. If that is the case then forfeiting may have to be the consequences for it. That is on Vrabel, coaching staff, and players who are not following the guidelines that were set in place by everyone who agreed to play this season. If for some reason this stuff is incorrect then I am sure the NFL will look to add the game towards the end of the year and extend the playoff time I doubt they will just force a team to forfeit because of something that happened out of their hands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This shows that basically no matter what is done, there is almost certainly going to be a competitive advantage for some teams and disadvantages for others, for example the Monday Night Chiefs vs. Patriots game. I would much rather spread the season out than have half of the games look like that in one way or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cause cam got covid doesnt mean a team should cancel the game for another day, that is like tyrod getting a bad needle to the chest, or every other injury that has happened. Next man up, the issue with titans is they didnt follow proper procedure and they got caught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good post. That's all I was looking for, some alternative suggestions, even if mine was labeled "dumb". All I saw in this thread, was the same massive overreaction as the Cam thread. No suggestions, complete panic, cancel the season, etc. People need to calm down and use their brain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being hurt is not contagious though (unless you're the Niners) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why the NFL is so reluctant to do extend the season (2 week pause, rescheduled games, extra bye) ...even you push the SB to early to mid March, they'll still smash everything in direct competition, this season was always going to be weird and different from the start might as well embrace it.

I listen to 100% science and not religious at all but both of your perspectives seem to be media fear-mongering talking points. Media is all non-stop lies, propaganda, and fear mongering. THIS is the type of stuff we're trying to get away from. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
