If I was asked before the season to pick 5 high profile players to come down with COVID during the season, Cam would have been one of them.

Ya! I’m sure Bellichick is thrilled to roll with Hoyer or Stidham vs the Chiefs. Since I don’t bet and don’t care for the Patriots I am cool with them having to use their backup QBs.

[youdunnf'dup 2,147]

Hopefully they don’t get more positive tests and end up having to cancel this game. That seems like a possibility, no?

I would’ve definitely said that about Zeke, but Cam doesn’t exactly strike me as dumb like Zeke does. I don’t think you can play qb for Bellicheck if you are. I get what you’re saying, but it seems like you can borderline do everything right and still end up testing positive. I bet a ton of people on this board have had it without even realizing they had it because they aren’t getting tested 2 times a day every single day.

Yeah, this game is getting postponed. 

[youdunnf'dup 2,147]

I guess they answered my question pretty quickly:

 

[Beantown Express 2.0 6,598]

I am hearing Patriots flight at 1pm to KC was cancelled and all players were sent him so guess they ain’t playing tomorrow.

[4th&Five 42,027]

 

[Rougarou 594]

Without a bubble, and heading into Fall/Winter, NFL ain’t gonna make it. Will be cancelled I’m betting.

Perfect avatar is perfect.

[4th&Five 42,027]

I hope the game is postponed. No Thomas, lattimore, Jenkins or Cooke already. The way it’s going I’m sure Kamara is the positive. 

[youdunnf'dup 2,147]

The NFL is absolutely about to get shut down, isn’t it. They really fucked up by not having a league wide bye for one week just to have a little more room to play with when they inevitably have to cancel games.

[BradInATX 9,208]

They need to just postpone week 3. I thought I read they have a contingency plan to move the super bowl back to February. Have to assume it was made for something like this

No ones ever going to believe you when you tell us Bill Murray is a defensive tackle on the Patriots

Cinderella story, unknown, came out of nowhere.

Belichick played Gilmore on purpose to do this

 

 

[BurntOrange&White 42,020]

Honestly the NFL shouldn’t allow the post game hand shakes and etc.

"Potentially historical punishment"? Are they going to be forced to hire Bill O'Brien as their GM?

[TXSooner518 2,455]

I mean, let's not be ridiculous, they will probably just get a 2 year death penalty. NFL isn't going to do something as drastic as making a team hire that fat moron.

[Js1 87,306]

I, for one, a shocked a former Pats player and guy who coached under Urban would flaunt safety rules to win. 

[4th&Five 42,027]

Make them forfeit the games they can’t play. 

[staboner 5,098]

make them pass go and redo 2020

It’s either him or Jeff Fisher

If everything that’s being reported is true, I feel like this is the only way. Which sucks, because I would hate to be a divisional opponent of a team that for the benefit of a win by forfeit against an undefeated titans team.

we all hoped the NFL had sort of figured out covid, but they cant put 75 people (or whatever it is) per team in fucking isolation. Even if they tried, too many of these guys have their boys they want to hang with and no one is watching those boys and their activities when they arent with the players

and even if the NFL really try, lets be honest, of all 4 major sports, the "boneheaded-ness" factor of the NFL players as a whole is a fuckload higher than any of the other major sports.

The teams with playoff thoughts might bear down and do a players only "dont fuck around meeting", but what happens in 2 weeks if the Texans and Falcons are both 0-6 and the players on those teams start saying fuck it, why bother being hyper-vigilant with Covid now?  we arent gonna be in the playoffs, so who fucking cares if we get it.

NHL and NBA proved the bubble works but you’re right. NFL has so many more people involved it’s Impossible 

[4th&Five 42,027]

Pats and Chiefs will be interesting to watch the next few days. Pats flew with at least one positive player and played a game. The spread from that will be telling.

The good news is none of these players seem to have actually gotten sick. Basically just waiting on the two negative tests.

And really, we shouldn't expect any of the players to get seriously sick - they're generally in peak physical condition without any comorbidities.

The coaching and facilities staff are another story. And the families of the players who get to enjoy second-hand COVID exposure.

[youdunnf'dup 2,147]

Yeah you have to punish the titans pretty hard for this shit

 

[youdunnf'dup 2,147]

Holy shit

 

[MNLonghornFUKM 8,985]

If the Jets think they can skate to a 12-4 record by quarantining their team for the rest of the year and replacing them with equipment managers and scouts, I can sniff your plan out 2000 miles away

[Brothahorn 10,100]

They put the whole league in jeopardy. Any money lost to the opposition should be paid by them.

[Deej 77,900]

Their punishment should be having to hire Jeff Fisher as their head coach, again.

I thought they did seeing as not one person has been listed as ill or required hospitalization and most seem to test negative within 10 days.

[HornOnTheBayou 9,069]

And the Falcons had been doing so well containing Covid. That's odd that they would all of a sudden fall behind in their efforts to stop it.

On the plus side, maybe this means we're in the 4th quarter of the pandemic.
