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.

2021 Draft If No 2020 Season

 

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.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
