Football isn't getting played this season. It's been obvious since March. At best they get a couple games in before it all gets scrapped. It's not happening.

Well I guess we should just tell everyone see ya next year. The world has got to move on. This is a virus that will most likely always be here. What good is a vaccine if 100% don’t take it? Look at the percentage of people that take a flu vaccine each year. You can’t force a vaccine on people by law. If your in the high risk group, don’t go. If not, wear a mask or not, but go. We can’t all hold our heads under blankets and ask someone to tell us when the boogeyman goes away.
You actually trust the league to put safety before profit? It's not like owners will be at risk.The NFL’s first concern has to be the players and team staff. Most of them are under contract and won’t have the choice to decide not to go. I think for fans in attendance, they will defer to local law/rules. But if the league doesn’t think they can conduct a season without jeopardizing the health and safety of those players and staff, they’re not going to do it.
I guess the difference between the NFL and NCAA. NFLPA give them rights to refuse to play.So when will they get serious? The nflpa just advised players not to work out together, and camp guidelines keep getting revised.
Now this...
I always try to be an optimist but there's no way we can have a normal football season. Goodell needs to get his head out of his butt and make a decision. It's not fair to the players, staff and most importantly the fans, who are spending their hard earned money and waiting for something that probably won't happen.
Good point. I guess I find it baffling that they keep doing this cloak and dagger thing with planning when every other major institution (schools, governments, companies, etc.) is engaged in serious discussions on how to return.I guess the difference between the NFL and NCAA. NFLPA give them rights to refuse to play.
NCAA not so much. Blue collar ideals are too ingrained.
For this to remotely work... I'd say the schedule is gonna have to one week minimal byes inbetween every game. 14 days in between games.
We also can't ignore obvious health issues, so yeah. Let's go your route and just end all sports completely. Why be responsible and take measured steps when we can follow ignorant, knee-jerk reactions?Well I guess we should just tell everyone see ya next year. The world has got to move on.

Add to the issues that the disease has mutated and now they need to come up with several vaccines.IMO, bye-bye 2020, and LUCKY if 21 happens... there's no possible way you can play contact sports AND practice social distancing without a vaccine or a medication that's a proven cure for those who become infected.. I mean really, think about it, sweat, spit, body contact, are you kidding ??.. smh.. check them Florida numbers for further proof..
And don't get me wrong, i'm craving watching the Saints as much as everyone else here.. but there's no way you can not only put kids in harms way, but the future of the NFL as well.. I know there's huge dollars involved, but again, shut it down til' it's safe.. PROTECT THE FUTURE!

No way do we have football this year, college, pro, high school, you name it.30 LSU players in QT just recently and they are one of the most advanced and cautious teams in sports medicine and protocol.
Then, you have teams like UT, Bama, Clemson, and etc.
I know NFL is gonna wait till the last second to make any decisions, but what is a team going to do if 30 players are on QT at the start of the season. Do they just forfeit the game?
Well I guess we should just tell everyone see ya next year.. If YOU ARE in the high risk group, don’t go. If not, wear a mask or not, but go.
Wrong, wearing any style of mask significantly cuts down your risk of exposure. Does it make the chances zero? No, but it does help.Wearing a mask does not prevent ANYONE from getting the virus. High risk group, or not. It helps prevent the spread of the virus.
So what will the 14 days between games do? There will be travel to away games. Players and coaches will need to be getting on planes...etc. It does no good. It is a waste. So everyone gets on a plane, on Friday to travel, while waiting for test results. Sunday comes, and there is too many players showing up positive. Now what? You have players/coaches infected in another city, waiting to get home, or do you just put them on the same plane with the players and coaches that did not test positive? What are we doing here?I guess the difference between the NFL and NCAA. NFLPA give them rights to refuse to play.
