At this point in the season, was it worth the risk?

1. Kamara and Gardner-Johnson were maskless at events and could have caught the virus.
2. Saints running back corps affected
3. Playoff seeding still in play

Risky Behavior? Maskless Players, COVID-19, and Saints Playoffs

Two prominent players for the New Orleans Saints have been maskless at events in the New Orleans area. Both tested positive for COVID-19 and may affect the Saints playoff seeding chase on Sunday.

Well hell no it wasn’t worth it.

I do have mixed feelings about it tho. It’s really no different than having a Christmas or New Years get-together.

but they could’ve at least worn masks

Covid gave the league another way to influence games besides the refs for their desired outcomes. Throw asymptomatic positive results on a key player and you can wipe out a position group with the close contact protocols.

It wasn't worth it even if he didn't play football.

I’m surprise that Kamara and CJ not getting the Dwayne Haskins treatment from media. Why go out partying without a mask during a pandemic?! Crazy

Some hope out there... that rest of the RBs are not infected but just in a high-risk category

Meh, young people believe they are invincible to everything. It’s been that way for all of eternity. Hopefully this is an eye opener for them. Also, if they still get paid, I doubt they care as much as we want them to. It’s just a different mindset as a fan compared to player.

Honestly, at this point nothing has changed for us.

I still expect us to win this week and have the exact same odds to get the first round bye.

If we don't get the bye then we still have Thomas coming back and one more week removed from injury for Brees. I'm confident we can get to the divisional round and be at full strength.

Young and invincible. That's what the young people think. Probably no different than I would have been at 23-25 years old. That said, this is complete selfishness and irresponsible. Season could be at risk.

Lattimore too.

I mean if y'all had to guess who would have put us in this predicament, it would have been these 2 at the very top of the list, and probably Jameis. That would have been my top 3.

I didn't and thats what makes me so frustrated right now. First few weeks of the season I wasn't emotionally invested because I figured it would be a shortened or canceled season. I was just enjoying watching the football i had..
Once we reached the midpoint I started thinking we could get through this. By last week I was fully invested again and fired up for the playoffs so it figures the rug would be pulled from me now.
