MikeT14 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Handshake agreement. Raiders and Eagles get W's. They play. WFT and Browns trot out the 14 players they have left and play 7 on 7 flag football. I'd watch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Smithers Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 The NFL can’t be serious. They can’t be. I expect by tomorrow for the game to be postponed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broncofan Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) FWIW, this answer from DET's HC Dan Campbell highlights a point I was making yesterday - the new criteria won't likely change the outcome for most players who test positive. For most players, it takes 7+ days to get 2 negative tests on separate days - with the revised criteria, it's still most likely to need 6+ days (maybe 5 if the threshold of positivity changed for transmission risk and return to playing). For this reason alone, if the enhanced measures that teams and the league institute aren't enough to stem the tide - I expect that the league will change the criteria again to enable a faster return to play after positive tests with vaxxed individuals. And yes, @wwhickok is correct - the primary driver is the league's desire to keep games being played on time, on schedule - to lock in their irreplaceable value of certainty for the TV $. They're just doing it trying to keep the appearance of doing it safely - but it's all about getting games in, the show must go on. For this week - don't expect many, if any players who suddenly are able to return. There are the odd few who will test negative in time, but most likely it still results in a 1 missed game.

BullsandBroncos Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 This week is going to be like The Replacements and Kyle Shurmur is Shane Falco. I bet Derrick Henry isnt even hurt. They were saving him for all the other teams to get COVID so he could run over all the waiver wire defenses he will face. *takes off tin foil hat* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 We're going to have teams playing "iron man" football before we're through. This is getting ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of where I’d play, it would still be for the same minimum contract. So I’ll take the position with the best odds of not needing medical attention afterwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are clearly a lot of unvaccinated players/coaches around the league. How long before we think the league starts taking tougher measures? Or do we think they even will after the precedent set with a few people already? If anything, the vaccinated players should be following the same protocols Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broncofan Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 And make no mistake - 1 more guy's unlikely to change the plans to play tomorrow's game, and delaying it won't likely change the status of pretty much all the key Browns players.
