At some point they may just take “your 14 best results” and move on.

So if a team misses 3 weeks due to covid either on their own rosters or their opponents rosters they’ll play “weeks 18-20.” And the teams that played all 16 games as scheduled and get a 1 seed need to sit 4 weeks between the end of their regular season and their first playoff game?

No bueno.

If the choice is that or walking away from millions in TV revenue ... what do you think?

Indeed. The same reason they're playing in the first place.

I think their choice would be a few random games don’t get played but they get a 17 week season and a full Playoff schedule.

There's nothing special about a 17-week season. And there's no reason there won't be a full playoff schedule.

I’m not sold the NFL would be thrilled to have a Patriots vs. Chiefs game by itself in “week 18” when their playoff spots may already be locked in.

I don’t see the NFL just extending its regular season as much as long as it needs to to get all 16 games played for every team in the NFL. Again, I don’t think it’s in the NFL’s best interest to have a team sitting 3-5 weeks between their last regular season game and the start of the Playoffs while other teams are playing their makeup games.

I think that's the key. If their playoff spots are locked in, it could be one of those games where the teams don't take risks, rest their stars to avoid injuries and nobody cares who wins. But if playoff positions, home field or the like are on the line, it could be ratings gold.

As long as they get the 17 weeks in, the NFL won’t extend the season for a handful of missed games. Most people who were going to watch Pats / Chiefs are just going to watch Bills / Raiders instead.

Bingo. There isn’t a chance in hell CBS is going to give up one of their biggest games of the year to have it be possibly meaningless in Week 18.

Every year, one network gets the short end of the stick on scheduling and this year it was CBS. With a re-negotiation taking place, and CBS already forfeiting an early window next month for The Masters, the NFL will do everything possible to play this game this week.

I think it's a little of both.  Apparently Rodgers, Lafleur, Hackett and Getsy spent days on Zoom calls taking about the offense...what worked...what didn't...and how to improve it.  I think that is what you are seeing.

I am sure though that a lot of this was motivated by the Love draft.

 i'd be cool with that.  next year,  trade up for lawrence and keep the fire going ;D

CDC still says 14. If people are following 3 to 7, it might be a factor in the recent surge in cases.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/if-you-are-sick/quarantine.html

  nothing is set in stone as we are constantly learning more about this virus-

" That said, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has established minimal criteria for your return to whatever passes for “normal life” these days. If you’ve been sick with COVID-19, whether your illness was confirmed by testing or symptom-based criteria, the CDC recommends that you remain isolated for at least 10 days after your symptoms first appeared AND at least three days (72 hours) after recovery."

My post was referring to quarantine time since exposure.

Your post talks about something totally different; quarantine time since symptoms appeared and the patient recovered (assuming the person develops symptoms).

The CDC‘s guidance on a minimum of 14 days after exposure has remained unchanged for months.

Saints/Lions on verge of being postponed tomorrow. The NFL is going to quickly create 32 hotel bubbles this week.

Appears that the re-test was negative so the game will be played as scheduled.

Good news in the short term. Still hope they go to hotel bubbles so they have a better chance of getting through the season.

I guess I can see why they initially went with Trubisky.

Foles almost threw about 5 interceptions last week, so it's hardly surprising that he was mediocre (at best) today.

He's a journeyman -- pretty much the definition of the term -- who was in the right place at the right time a couple years ago. But I don't blame the Bears for trying him. Trubisky obviously isn't the answer.

The Bears are very fortunate to not be 0-4. Looking forward to when the Panthers get to play 'em in two weeks.

I guess I can see why they initially went with Trubisky.

But he still made multiple throws and reads that Trubisky never would. Doesn’t make him great, but shows how rough the options are. 

Then again, it probably didn’t matter with what Nagy was play calling. 3rd and 1 in a close, still winnable game? Let’s run it with Patterson, not on an end around but up the middle. Umm what?  Not to be out done, decides to go for it on 4th and 2 from his own 25 in a 2 possession game with basically the entire 4th quarter left.  What does he call?  Deep throw to David Montgomery.  I mean what?  Bailed out by a PI but what a horrific set of decisions.

To quote Denny Green, coincidentally also about the Bears, they are who we thought they were

Will they keep Pace around to draft their next QB?

I can’t see it.

Not a chance.  Given the success of the passers chosen behind Trubisky, there isn’t a sane owner who would give Pace another shot at it.  He went all in and came up bust.
