Ravens-Steelers game could be postponed if Ravens get more positive tests; how this affects the Saints (UPDATE: Moved to Sunday) (1 Viewer)

[26ISTHEMAN]

8 playoff teams is disgusting. That’s half the league in the playoffs.

That's where it's headed, I'm afraid. Look at the NBA - 16 out of 30 teams make the playoffs. If it means more revenue, roger will do it. Maybe they can send parting gifts to the teams that are left out. Don't want to hurt anyone's leedle feewings.

How about keep your players healthy or forfeit. Why should other teams be penalized because a certain team gets sick?

If the 8 team playoff scenario is enacted - then the whole group needs to be re-seeded based on record. If the Saints are the 1 seed and don't get a bye, they damn sure need to be playing the NFC East winner and not one of the West teams or Minnesota.

Ok and your point

To get people to stop pretending what we talk about matters. What’s yours by saying to focus on Denver?

 

[DerrickB]

And what’s yours by saying to focus on Denver?

Because I said focus on Denver.

 

[LetsGetWaffles]

Because I said focus on Denver.

Why? What could possibly go wrong if we don’t focus on Denver first?

 

[DerrickB]

Why?

People's health is at risk but we are worrying about it effecting the number one seed because a game could get postponed.

Ahh come on Derrick. You can worry about people's health and still discuss the effects it will have on certain components of your life (even if that component is "how will it affect the NFL season").

Both things can be true.

So you said to focus on a game against Denver instead of looking ahead at a potential game in the future bc people’s health is at risk..? Not sure I understand the correlation.

So I’ll ask again, how is what we’re talking about going to affect any of that since we’re not players or directly fighting a virus?

 

[Saint Greg]

Could they push the game to Sunday, Monday or Tuesday?

Ok so the game between Baltimore and Pittsburgh can get postponed because players got the virus right? So immediately folks go into panic mode about not playing in a half empty dome once the playoffs start. To me that's just jumping the gun. Ain't nothing guaranteed in this league.

Understood, but that's not how I am.

And no I am not a coronabro.

My understanding (admittedly based on an article I read some months ago) was that the NFL had booked out accommodation in Tampa for virtually a month.

Surely the whole season can just be shifted back a few weeks if the need arises. I mean, on one view, it’s surprising that it hasn’t happened already.

 

[HoustonGold]

Over and under on the pages before this thread gets locked too? Vegas have odds on it? Don’t let this be a bad beat.

If option 2 happens the 5th seed may be the most desirable seed in the NFC.
