It’s looking more likely that NFL season will be cancelled.

Mayor of NYC just said that September would be the earliest he sees big public gatherings again. I just can’t foresee a scenario in which the NFL season goes on at this point. No OTAs, no training camp, no mini camp and NY not even thinking about large gatherings until September. Yes, this is looking bad.

That’s absurd...you can’t shut our country down for a year and a half

Then re open everything business as usual and let the virus runs its course. OR another plan. Have those that are high risk of dying self quarantine. Set guidelines, for those over age of 70  and with the following health conditions, stay home

I've had the feeling for a while now that the season won't be played as normal.  But, I'm not sure it will be completely cancelled.  I think they'll end up starting camp in September or October, and play games the following month.  My guess is that they'll end up with like an 8-10 game season.  

With that said, I wonder what they will do with next year's draft if there is no season this year.  PFT had an article about it.  Most likely, they would probably do something along these lines.

2021 Draft If No 2020 Season

Quote

hockey came up with a three-tiered lottery to determine who would get dibs on him. Three balls, two balls, or one ball were handed out to all teams based on performance in the three prior seasons. Teams who hadn’t been to the playoffs at all and hadn’t had the No. 1 overall pick in any of the four prior drafts received three balls. Teams with only one playoff appearance or one No. 1 pick received two. Everyone else got one.

Start the season in feb, Super Bowl Sunday a couple days before 4th of July, what’s more American than super bowl right at Independence Day? Instead of playing in bitter cold in the dec and Jan months, you will just play in bitter heat in the June and July months, so you still are playing in the elements. Could be interesting

The country isn't going to be shut down for a year and a half.  States are going to be in varying levels of lockdown probably into the summer, then certain restrictions will start being lifted very slowly, and then there will be multiple outbreaks that will hopefully be contained better because we've bought our healthcare infrastructure some time.

I don't think the start will be that late, but they could decide to extend the season into March, or even April.  But that would likely require reducing the offseason program and likely pushing back the draft until May or June. 

Ideally, I think they would prefer to play the Super Bowl no later than early March (maybe on Sunday, March 7th).  That would allow for FA and draft prep while still keeping the draft in late April or maybe moving it back by only a week or two.

The thing is that they still need to prepare for the 2021 season.  So unless they are willing to have two truncated season back to back, I think they will do everything in their power to be done with the season early enough to give players a reasonable amount of time between finishing one season and starting the next.

I don’t read that as the nfl is cancelled... yet. What better way to comfort America than give them football.

      If his seat was hot enough for him to be fired 6 games in then you should've just fired him when you made the decision to draft a QB #1 overall. I don't think you go from "this is definitely our guy" to "you're fired in 6 games". Seems like there would be had to have been doubts going in and that's not a recipe for success for a rookie QB.

      I like to use the analogy that a high draft pick QB is like a new supercar. Great to have one except too often, one forgets that they are high maintenance. A bad team secures their car under a cheap tent, puts regular gas in the tank, services it at Pep Boys, and then blames the car for not working properly and proceeds to get another one.  At the least, Ward getting sacked 25 times already is a massive red flag. If you can't protect your rookie QB, you do not put him out there. Otherwise, it's taking your supercar and immediately spinning it right into a tree. A few survive that rough of a start. Most do not.

      I don't think there's any one size fits all answer. I think you play the rookie when A) you think he's ready and B) you think there's a reasonable expectation that the overall situation provides him an opportunity to be successful, not necessarily in terms of wins and losses but just in terms of giving him a fighting chance with surrounding talent. If you rush either one it's probably not gonna be pretty.
