Test them all tomorrow and if no one is positive, play the game. This is sports during a pandemic. There will be positive tests.

Again the problem is the incubation period. We know for a fact people can test negative over a week before coming up positive. Just putting a blinder is going to guarantee more spread next week

It means that someone tested positive that had significant contact with someone in the organization who hasn't tested positive himself yet due to the incubation period (the virus is contagious before it can be detected via test).

i mean, its not that complicated of an idea either. If you cant understand that fairly cimple concept maybe you shouldnt be covering it/posting snark.

No positive tests for Minny or KC after playing in this situation. Not saying it can't happen, but we haven't seen it yet.

They should do an NFC and AFC separate playoff bubble IMO. Near impossible to accomplish with all 32 teams, much easier with 7 teams

Even if Jerry's team isn't in the mix, this will certainly be possible.

Neutral sites, warm to moderate temps, and the Cowboys will throw in 25k fans.

It’s an unnecessary risk when you know for a fact there is an incubation period. This isn’t a “we don’t know” situation. The NFL might have just gotten lucky with fast detections with them

Playing sports in a pandemic for entertainment purposes is in itself "an unnecessary risk." We all wanted them to play, the players that are here wanted to play, now that risk is necessary if that's the case. Like I've said, you start calling games off for 1 positive test, might as well cancel this season since you can't play in a bubble. They'll be more and more as the season goes.
