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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes I to account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as a treading water year. I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked.

      think these smaller Qb's are going to have a much harder time convincing an NFL team to draft them. not saying a smaller Qb under 6 feet tall will not make an NFL roster .it will most likely be a UDFA contract more or less prove it deal.NFL teams have been burnt time & time again investing in these small NFL Qbs & i think  teams are now finally starting to realize that investing in these smaller Qb's under 6 feet tall is simply a bad idea  ...just saying
