If there is anything the NFL wants more is to screw one it's most storied and popular teams. Gotta make sure they don't make it to Super Bowl and attract MILLONS of views around the world. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

August4th 3,156 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 moving the game to sunday afternoon means it will be on the same time the KC/TB gm will be on...I was looking forward to that game they should move the ravens/steelers game to SNF. no one wants to see the Bears 2 Link to post Share on other sites
dante9876 1,192 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 7 players, with new positives each day since monday, and people want them to play a game tomorrow. Yall being silly. The league don't want to lose a Thanksgiving primetime game. Cmon folks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Do a better job with the protocol. 2nd time this season Pittsburgh has gotten screwed because of another team lmao bruh it's a global pandemic. stop acting like the team is doing a bad job because these players may have gone grocery shopping at the wrong time or something. it's still on the NFL, imo 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Do a better job with the protocol. 2nd time this season Pittsburgh has gotten screwed because of another team How exactly is Pitt getting screwed in all of this? One, you now get a full and normal week to prepare. Two, if their players are positive now, they won't be cleared by Sunday. Instead, they will have a better handle on who is actually positive, which will, in turn lessen the Steelers to exposure. Win-win for you. The only thing your team loses is the extra time after the game to rest, but any NFL player will tell you they hate playing on Thursdays anyway. The whole "woah for the Steelers" act because of this and the Titans game is wearing thin. Plus, your players, as well as your opponents', health trumps the entertainment factor for the rest of us Thursday night. As much as I was looking forward to watching this game, their health is more important, and I'll get over it. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Tk3 2,183 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Lots of teams have had games moved this season. That was an arrangement EVERYBODY knew would have to happen going into this. Sometimes it will affect a team more than once, sometimes it won't affect a specific team at all. That's just the way it goes and we all knew this was going to happen. Get over yourself, Steelers guy 2 Link to post Share on other sites

BlaqOptic 2,412 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Remember when the 49ers basically couldn't filed a team due to COVID positives but the NFL still made them go out there and be embarrassed on primetime tv? All I am asking for is some consistency in how they handle these situations because the Steelers seems to keep getting the short end of the stick for following rules.

They get extra rest. Don't have to play on a short week. Outside of not being a primetime game and not having the lore of a Thanksgiving game, where is the disadvantage? Well, given that this was the closest thing the Steelers were getting to a Bye (in terms of the 11 day layoff until the next game) in a long time because their original bye was moved, I completely would say their justified in feeling that way. It's funny, Derek Wolfe tweeted "Player Safety, what a joke" yet the Steelers players don't have the right to feel that way as if their safety (in terms of on the field) hasn't been considered this year? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
