That's pretty serious. They are certainly shedding negative light on the organization by not following protocols, especially after other members have contacted the virus and have been in the protocol. I heard the game will be played at 1:00 pm on Sunday and there will be no fans now. The good news is that they will still wear the color rush uniforms.

Dcash4 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 It’s a very stupid thing to be interested in, but if anyone finds out why the game is 1:15 PM, let me know. Has to be something to do with contract language for CBS and Fox that the NFL games at 1:05 PM are exclusive to them or something. Just very strange. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people will think the kickoff is at 1 and turn on NBC at that time(I'm in a steelers fan facebook group and some people still think a game is still being played today lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warfelg Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Well, Lamar tested positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I was joking about this being a trap game with the Ravens being in 3rd place, but now.... Steelers should win this going away(if the NFL does not move the game again) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcash4 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Hope everyone is prepared to find out how the NFL handles a cancellation. I’d put it at about 15% chance this game gets played this Sunday. Way too many positives coming out, especially with the news about their S&C coach.

They'll end up doing a week 18 * * - I think if it doesn't matter they'll leave records as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcash4 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Just now, warfelg said: They'll end up doing a week 18 * * - I think if it doesn't matter they'll leave records as is. They might. I still have a hard time imagining they would risk another week for 1 game. Covid is blowing up all over, I’m sure the want to get to playoffs ASAP. I hate the idea of it, but this could be forfeit territory with their coach being in breach, and knowingly doing it. I feel like the NFL won’t delay everything because a team blatantly broke the rules. I don’t know where you go from here. I know the popular thing is “screw the NFL”, but honestly; what’s the best choice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More so this is the time and team that needs the hammer dropped for not just the spread, but the gross negligence in it to not wear a mask, not wear the tracker, and being ill. The Ravens are talking like they know they still expect big numbers the next two days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) no way do I see a forfeit happening. NBC won't let it happen I think the game will be moved to Tuesday and if the Ravens are sill finding positives, it becomes a week 18 game.

Makes it hard on NBC still because the Ravens can’t play Thursday then. Though, I think the Steelers Ravens moving to Monday/Tuesday and next Thursday bumping is the most logical right now. I just don’t believe ween 18 is a real option, unless there are more games to play. Maybe the league postpones the game indefinitely and if more games need played they add week 18 and if not, Ravens forfeit/no contest if not needed by record (like @warfelg mentioned). There are just no good answers, and there was never going to be. Will be interesting to see what happens. At this point, I’m more upset about losing Diontae in a big fantasy week.

jebrick Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I understand the NFLN announced that RGIII is starting. I do not think they move the game or give the Steelers a 2nd bye week. This is the exact scenario I asked in week 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
