Somewhere, Jeff George is sitting, fingers nervously tapping the table, and waiting for his phone to ring.

Where? The Villages?

can someone explain why this game is being played while Pittsburgh-Baltimore was delayed?

Much easier to move a Thursday game as opposed to a Sunday game
Also why should we be forced in to a short week because the opposing teams QBs refused to wear masks ?

Because the Ravens situation was a single assistant strength coach who reportedly showed up with symptoms and didn’t tell anyone. A huge outbreak followed and the Ravens disciplined him.

The Broncos conducted practice while ignoring protocols, allowing QBs to practice together without masks and Driskel later tested positive.

From what I understand, they won't cancel games because of who is not available player-wise. They will cancel games if they think there is a threat to spread covid by playing the game. Having said that, this doesn't feel like any sort of competitive game. A win is a win, but I won't be cheering or making a big deal about it.

My thoughts are they had the ability to delay that one 5 days and not adversely impact either team. They trade a 4-day Sun-Thurs turnaround for a 5-day Tues-Sun turnaround. In our case the most they could delay it is two days which may not be enough time to get a QB back...plus they're in this spot for violating protocols...and it would adversely impact both teams giving them short weeks next week.

I don’t understand....so...who would play QB tommorow?

Notice how Armstead is out but life goes on for the Saints because they have good coaching that insists that the protocols be followed. The Broncos screwed up. They’ve already been warned and they did nothing but pay lip service to the NFL. Sound familiar? They won’t get sympathy

I’m concerned we won’t see out the season at this rate. Notwithstanding that, despite the logistics, I think they should be looking at establishing a bubble for the playoffs if not sooner.

Exactly!.. this is definetly a 1st.. smh..

Push everything back two weeks, with no contact, test every day, and go back to the top 6 team playoff system in each conference. When you resume in two weeks, each team stays in a bubble till the end of the season. Do this or just cancel the season outright.

Forget Tim Tebow, what about Colin Kaepernick?

Thought about him. Glad that can't happen.
