Oso planning to go pro
Is it just me, or are the Lions not very good?
The NFL’s handling of the Ravens-Steelers game is making it look like they won’t cancel as long as they can find 22 COVID-negative guys willing to wear a uniform.First Thursday, then Sunday, now Tuesday.
The NFL has ordered teams to close their facilities on Monday and Tuesday with teams playing those days being exempt:https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/30403539/nfl-closing-team-facilities-monday-tuesday-amid-coronavirus-spike-holiday-guestsFrom the article:"The NFL cited the spike in coronavirus cases around the country as well as the "understanding that a number of players and staff celebrated the Thanksgiving holiday with out-of-town guests" as reasons for closing facilities."
How were players supposed to know that could be a problem?
I believe Matt Campbell will get the Lions job.
What a risky hire that would be. I know he’s the hot name right now but I don’t see anything to suggest that he’s going to be an NFL success.
This week is getting pretty nuts. Broncos sent home their entire QB room due to close contact to Jeff Driskel’s positive test. A few Steelers have tested positive. SF isn’t allowed to practice/play in Santa Clara.
It really is starting to snowball. If it gets worse I would consider a two week shutdown and required quarantine because pretty soon they are going to run out of options.
Bears fans can only dream about playing without quarterbacks.
The NFL required the Broncos either to play or forfeit. This puts way too much pressure on a team to play undermanned or possibly even with infected players. Crazy... and dangerous.
USA Today columnist about this and the NFL refusing to acknowledge reality of Covid:https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/columnist/nancy-armour/2020/11/28/nfl-needs-hit-pause-now-if-wants-finish-season/6454197002/Oh but that's right they told the teams to shut down their facilities on Monday and Tuesday (with the exception of teams playing on those days) - yeah - don't think that's going to help at all...
