MAD597 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Gonna be the first of many, I bet we don't get 4 games into the season before it shuts down, and if they THINK they are getting 20k fans in the stands in the next year as stadiums across the country they are nuts. 408Falcon, gkgrimes and blizzard_falcon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

athell Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 He may not even have tested positive. lol slow your rolls, doomers. This new reserve list category was created for a player who either tests positive for COVID-19 or who has been quarantined after having been in close contact with an infected person or persons. If a player falls into either of these categories, their club is required to immediately place the player on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Per agreed upon NFL-NFLPA policy, clubs are not permitted to comment on player's medical status other than referring to roster status. Clubs may not disclose whether player is in quarantine or is positive for COVID-19. papachaz and Tim Mazetti 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, proactively quarantining players who have been exposed is a good sign that the NFL is taking this seriously. God forbid you get half a team to test positive like the Marlins did. Can you imagine two weeks (plus) with a 35 man NFL roster? This might be one brutal *** season. I also believe the season will start although I think it might have a couple extra byes and a gap in between playoff weeks. Might see a late February/early March Super Bowl*. *That actually wouldn't be bad because off-season activities would begin immediately after the season.

The NFL is also the media's and societies prison b**** when it comes to pressure.

I took this as a good thing, then went and researched their overall plans and I think it is good! We of course have no clue how this will all unfold, but they seem to be approaching it from a good point. JayOzOne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think this NFL train has not been derailed yet, and they are continuing down the tracks even despite the pandemic. They have never wavered on their stance with this and there will no doubt be a team impacted by covid at the wrong time, ie playoff push or in the playoffs, but they know this and they are good with it if it means players on the field come this Fall. octoslash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtybird56 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Closer we get to the season the more confident I am that we won’t have one. And I started off in March thinking 100% this season would happen solely because I couldn’t envision a multi billion dollar operation giving up a season 408Falcon and blizzard_falcon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
