How are no Saints players being held out for being in contact with Armstead?

Then why keep helping the ravens.

The Ravens are still having positive tests - both this morning and tonight. The NFL won't play games when a team is returning new positives every day. If they can't make it another day without new positives, I don't think the game will be played.

The Steelers have had new cases this weekend too. That game is very much in jeopardy.

How are no Saints players being held out for being in contact with Armstead?

If so, it would be because nobody met the high-risk tracing criteria.

My guess is low risk contact only. Meaning, they had masks on and didn’t exceed the time exposure threshold set by the CDC.

The Broncos qbs were hanging out without masks.

Goodell already taking a lot of heat from national writers. My gut tells me he caves and postpones Saints Broncos game in the morning.

The good news is that regardless of the outcome, we are guaranteed not receive an astrick.

What type of penalty is misspelling..illegal formation or false start?

 

[OutlawSaint]

We have to take away the easy passes and make him make the hard throws! Why do I feel like this will be a 24-20 type of game... I just feel like we will play down to the competition a lot

I would be up for postponing, but then it wouldnt be fair to teams that should have had their game postponed.

Like the Bucs/Raiders game where Raiders went in with no offensive line. I believe that would of put Bucs at 6-5 and we wouldnt worry about them no more this year.

Didn’t all teams sign off on a plan that doesn’t allow a game to be canceled or moved just based on one position group? If they had an outbreak all around the team and didn’t have the numbers I could see it, but as it is now it seems like something that was already agreed upon and set as the expectation.

I think if there's no new positive tests tomorrow for the Broncos or Saints, the game will be played.

It's crazy, but I think that's how they're viewing it. The league is trying to finish the season more than anything - that's the prize. It puts it in the books and keeps the contract partners happy. And every postponed game challenges that goal.

Although, I want a fair game instead of an astrick *
I think the reason no postponement is due to
1. Sunday Game (as some stated)
However, playoff seeding..Saints are in the top seed, if canceled, rescheduled, entire seeding into a nightmare. Remember only the top division gets a Bye During first Rd..due to covid.

It doesn’t have to be canceled. Just reschedule the game. There’s 7 weeks left to play. Each team already plays 2 games in 10 days at least once each year.

The QB position is the head of the team. If all three are out short notice, that’s unfair. I wouldn’t mind the cancellation. We would probably want it if the Saints were in the Broncos position at QB.

What is an astrick?

I would rather them postpone the game than give us a huge competitive advantage and an asterisk win.
