[Mega merged] Underhill: Covid hitting Saints coaching staff. (3 Viewers)

I believe that a forfeit is only if there is an outbreak among unvaccinated players.

Thank you, the rules are very confusing

Not exactly. The exposed or positive vaccinated players still have to pass 2 Covid tests in 24 hours to be eligible to play. So in theory…if we start seeing some active roster positives and associated close contacts in the next 48 to 72 hours, we could run into a timing issue that could jeopardize the game.

Its not likely…but can’t be ruled out yet.

I’m editing to add…I could be I’m misinterpreting things.

It’s BB.

Yeah, Payton and our staff thoroughly out coached LaFleur and his on Sunday. That isn’t happening against Belichick. They’re a good team, the threw away that game against Miami but they looked like the better team to me.

When rules don't make sense, they tend to be that way.

NFL informs clubs that COVID-19 outbreaks among unvaccinated players could lead to forfeited games

As the NFL approaches the 2021 season, the league informed clubs that it would not extend the season to accommodate a COVID-19 outbreak among unvaccinated players that causes a game cancellation.

Everything I've read says that only unvaccinated player breakouts can cause a forfeit.

Saints about to get Denver'd ...

Are we at 100% vaccination rate yet? Have we heard anything regarding others that weren't vaccinated?

100% coaches/ 90% players

 

[Goatman Saint]

Honestly wouldn’t be surprised to see them back by this weekend. Breakthroughs tend to be pretty short duration

 

[Super44]

Not really for me. Not impressed by Mac Jones and his supporting cast.

Not impressed by Mac Jones! OK

Do not forget to not be impressed by Bill Belichick either. The greatest NFL coach of all time, who happened to draft the unimpressionable Mac Jones.

I don’t think we’re 100%, thought we were high 90s. It’s unknown if Michael Thomas is vaccinated, based on his Twitter “likes history” someone posted, doesn’t seem like he’s a fan of the vaccine.

It is unknown if Thomas is vaccinated, but the entire coaching staff contingent is fully vaccinated.

Saints place WR Michael Thomas on reserve/COVID-19 list, protect K Aldrick Rosas; see list of moves

FORT WORTH, Texas — New Orleans Saints receiver Michael Thomas has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, according to the NFL's transaction list.

A little soon to judge a draft pick, no?

Brightside, MT is still catching everything.

Cancellation or rescheduling could happen, but not a forfeit. Not if they were vaccinated and did what they were supposed to do.....after living in hotels for 3 weeks. No way the NFL makes us forfeit.

On GMFB, they stated that Saints players are not 100% vaccinated.

I thought they were???


ETA: I guess not:

" While New Orleans’ coaches have achieved a 100% vaccination rate, a handful of players remain unvaccinated, and the immediate concern is an infection spreading throughout the roster."
