Looks like no college football. NFL on Saturdays?

I still believe everyone is and has been doing the same thing.  Easier to fake going back to football instead of canceling from the jump. 

Even the NFL doesn't actually make sense.  I mean people discuss all the protocols except for the one that matters most.  What do you do when your starting C test positive late in the week.   How many people does that put on the shelf and for how long.  Just because you have access to rapid testing doesn't mean you can test people right then and put them back on the field.

It's just a desperate attempt to get some money flowing in for as long as they can keep it going. I would be absolutely shocked if the season is played to completion. They just want to be able to collect on this TV contracts for as many weeks as they possibly can. I just want enough games to be played for this year's season to be factored into next year's draft position.

yeah, a variation of a NBA lottery would suck for the next draft.  Patriots would end up w/ the #1 pick....I mean you just know that would happen.

NCAA had ample time to create plans and viable options to avoid this. Big surprise, the NCAA wasn’t up to the task. I guess they bought into the trump logic that the virus would burn itself out with hot weather (LOL!) or just magically disappear (even bigger LOL). We are probably going to see some athletic departments completely disband in some schools. Bubba Cunningham, AD for UNC, said if college FB is cancelled this year Carolina would lose around $51 million dollars. Yowza. The NCAA is about as incompetent of a sports organization as there is. The people in charge are too rich for their own good. They probably want to cancel the season NOT because of Covid but because there are serious rumblings of the student athletes organizing and creating a sort of players union which absolutely strikes fear in the NCAA. 
 

NFL season is probably next.

      panthers offense 30 of 32 in yards per play

      My point exactly. Does that mean they have a poor offense? Of course not. That is why cherry picking stats without context rarely results in an accurate and fair assessment.

      Could go 9 - 8

      Lotta football to go, and a lot of things can change.  Team health makes a huge difference down the road.  The big thing is and will be getting a rhythm.  2015 and 2013 are great examples.  That said, while we have a schedule, we dont really know who we're gonna play past a few weeks from now and by that I mean, like, end of october we're scheduled to play The Buffalo Bills...but between now and then, what if theres an injury to Josh Allen or just suffer a rash of injuries to any position group really.  Lots can change honestly and after 3 weeks, we're healthier than we were last year after week 3 with our only serious injuries to Hunt and Corbett (who...sorry the guy got injured, but Mays continues to outplay him).  the other injuries are short term return situations with JT Sanders, XL, and Coker.

      I get a lot more than you. Scheme dictates average yards per play for example. If you run a lot like Philly your average yards per play will go down versus a team that passes all the time. And if you only play 3 games  then one outlier like Jacksonville holds more weight than it should. Plus yards per play doesn't correlate to wins for example versus effectiveness in the red zone. So yeah I get it and know that stats like yards per game much like yards per play have little correlation with wins and loses and the final score is the only thing that matters at the end of the day not some BS cherry picked stat.
