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.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Icege · Posted

      I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.

      C Mc. Gotta love this guy!!

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
