Trojan Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 If we don't have an outbreak, then we play them Monday and we have an outbreak next week I'm going to be pretty mad. They should play down with their available players as we should if the situation were reversed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rules have to be rules, because if they are not rules then what? We have no DPI in week 16, no HOLDING in week 17 and for the last week of the regular season we will turn a blind eye to TARGETING? We could have a little wheel of fortune to decide what rules apply that week and which ones don't. What exactly are the rules? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drfrey13 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 The way I see it a player on the covid list should be treated the same way a layer on the injured list is. If we had 10 injured players would they push the game back for our players to be healthy? Now if the Raiders had somehow caused players on the Browns team to not be ready for whatever reason then I can understand. I do not like the forfeit rule nor do I want to win this game because I think it will end up being meaningless anyways but the NFL made a rule and is now changing its tune. Whether it is our team or another it should have been enforced if it is the rule. Usual NFL BS like Kelce not fulfilling the time aspect of a catch.

Wouldn't have been as big of an issue if they just kept it on Sunday as originally scheduled. When did they announce who would be playing on Saturday? I thought it had been us the entire time but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That if a team had an outbreak and didn't have enough players to play the game on the originally scheduled date that they'd either have to forfeit or the owner would have to pay all of the costs that come with rescheduling the game. (IIRC it's like $60M) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDonald’s tweet isn’t wrong, but there’s a widespread feeling among the fan base that the league (i.e., Goodell) has one set of rules for certain teams that get conveniently tossed aside when other certain teams are concerned — and I don’t think that feeling is entirely unjustified. The fact that the game was switched to Monday is absolute BS. There was some next-level conflict of interest going on, as mentioned earlier in this thread.

First it said if it's an outbreak of unvaccinated players the game could be forfeited. Is that the case with the browns? Also it said owners would have to to pay cost of the cancel game if cannot be rescheduled which is also determined of the outbreak being among the unvaccinated. Not sure why anybody thinks the league was suppose to forfeit this game. Or that is what the rules said. They clearly didn't say that.
