Mastercheddaar Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I'm blaming the Jets for this crap. Them and their New Jersey land fill of a stadium... which by the way is shared with the Giants. You know the turds at 6-10 whining about not being in the playoffs. Seriously though, this sucks. MC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are serious rules about cell communications between coaches inside the stadium - it was either CLE or ATL that got busted for it and fines were levied. The NFL is so uptight about it, they use scanners during the game to make sure no communications/ unknown bandwidths are communicating during the contest. So its a big no-no from the leagues' POV and maybe that's why such a simple solution hasn't been pursued. There has to be a work-around Im more or less just want the league to put Stefanski in a isolated booth where he can still call plays in the headset from up top. Doubt it though, if somebody has Covid, I assume they want them as far away from the stadium as possibe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also assumes Stefanski isn't experiencing symptoms. Have we learned nothing from Community? iPad duct taped to a broomstick secured to an RC car! Granted, it is a reference from the last season - which we like to pretend didn't exist, but still... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a quarantined playoff coach still be communicating with the team in real-time should be doable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have to be evenly distributed postponement league-wide in order to ensure competitive fairness. The double-edged sword bit to this is... it creates an additional week wherein players/coaches on the team or other playoff teams could test positive. I hate the term, but it's a slippery slope not matter how you approach it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but whatever, hopefully this is able to motivate the players to catch lightning in a bottle and pull a upset.

It was with Ray Farmer (I can't believe he's getting an interview LOL) communicating with Pettine. The same doofus who drafted Justin Gilbert and Johnny Manziel.

True, but this was pretty much established pretty early in the season. We can hang (some) blame on the league forh the logistics put in place, but equally we have to hold the individuals concerned with responsibility for not taking all the precautions they were able to in order to prevent exposure.

For sure, it’s not all on the league. The league should have followed the lead of the NBA and had prospective playoff teams start to bubble up a couple weeks ago.

NBA you're talking about teams (not including staffs) of ~20 players - where your average team runs around a 12-13 man rotation. NFL, you're talking more than double that and that's before we even start counting practice squad/scout team players; and larger coaching staffs as well. Multiply that by 32 teams and there's just way, way more moving parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
