The NFL Hall of Fame game is cancelled. 

Officially it is the first NFL casualty to Covid-19 

 

The NFL Preseason will not start on time. This puts the on time start to the season in real doubt. 

 

If you want football, wear a damn mask in public. If we all do that, we can have nice things again.

I saw on the news this morning an "anti-mask" protest in Arizona, led by a Scottsdale city council member. Arizona has the fastest rising rate of infections in the US. I used to be skeptical that the NFL season would even be delayed. After see this level of stupidity, I will be surprised if there is any football played this year.

Why is the US having the worst pandemic experience by far despite having first world medical resources?

Draw yourself this Venn diagram:

three circles with heavy overlap.
One labeled high emphasis On personal freedom.

One labeled low emphasis on personal responsibility.

The third just labeled Amount of Stupid.

The area where they intersect label: Craptacular pandemic response.

Sadly it's the anti mask league all over. They will tank the economy and football will be another casualty of their stupidity and self righteousness. I think the saying goes 'opinions are like buttholes, everyone has one and some share the smell and view.'

Wear the damn masks and wash your damn hands.

I wonder when the Panthers will start issuing refunds?  At this point they can't make season ticket holders attend games against their will or else forfeit ticket money.  I know teams will hold out as long as they can, but it seems even if limited attendance is allowed, people that want refunds should be able to get them with no questions asked.

The ironic thing is that those same people were the ones clamoring the loudest for re-opening. Somehow they couldn't wrap their little pea brains around the idea that wearing masks was the fastest and surest way to re-open the economy.

We are short-sighted and selfish people.

They will probably handle it like some of the ticket agencies my friend has been dealing with.  She had tickets to several different events.  When it was clear the events weren't going to happen, she requested a refund.  They basically told her until the day the event doesn't take place, she's not due a refund.  Then the date would come and go, and they'd issue her a refund several weeks after the event didn't happen.

I never thought there would be a season to start with. But how does this effect next years NFL draft? Do we all pick in the same spot as the last draft, or is there a lottery?

Who will there be to draft though? NCAA won't have a season and schools might not even be in session, lol.

They aren't self righteous. They are ignorant, lazy, and spiteful.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Yep, I always said the best way to use him in the NFL is as a full time CB, and then get 8-12 offensive snaps a game. Half those snaps he's out there as a decoy so the defense doesn't know where the ball is going every time he's on the field, the other have are play calls with him as the first read, and likely trying to get it into his hands quickly to let him make plays with his athleticism.  That also would mean he needs less practice time on offense too, as he's not trying to get his routes/timing down with the QB as he'd be running a bunch of quick hitter routes or screens to get it in his hands. How NFL GM's didn't see this is beyond me (or maybe some did and it's why the Browns traded the pick and it was just the Jags who were dumb enough to think he'd be able to play both ways full time at an elite level.

      Also reading this thread again and seeing that was a clear WoahCam alt, it really makes me wish he was still around to hear his takes on how "his guys" are doing this year. Shedeur can't beat out Gabriel for the #2 job behind old man Flacco, Hunter is struggling on offense and doesn't have a clear role, while T-Mac is proving to be exactly who I said he was and the guy WoahCam was very much down on for a while until he said he was coming around on him, lol

      Yeah, it really seems like they made that move legitimately expecting him to be a two way player which is just crazy. You just can't be a two way player in the modern NFL. The obvious approach with Hunter was to have him focus on being a CB first and basically motivate him by telling him that the better you play on defense and the more comfortable you are on the field there, the more comfortable we're going to be putting more on your plate by carving out a bigger piece for you on offense but likely always limiting that to maybe 10-12 snaps a game at most on offense. Starting him out primarily at WR was just insane. At least they quickly saw that and adjusted but they really blew it with the off-season/preseason approach and it's causing Hunter to play catch up.
