More Covid - Steelers - Titans being postponed

The NFL is rescheduling the Steelers - Titans game to later in the season after an additional Titans player and one personnel tested positive for COVID-19. It will not be played Week 4.

 

The good news here is that the Vikings have no positives so far, meaning it didn't spread during the game (hopefully).

If Steelers-Titans has to be postponed, there's a relatively easy fix. Titans have a Week 7 bye, but Steelers bye isn't until Week 8. However, Steelers play Ravens in Week 7, and Baltimore also has a Week 8 bye. So move Steelers-Titans to Week 7 and Steelers-Ravens to Week 8.

Makes sense

Does anyone else find it funny that literally out of ALL of these “cases” we have heard about between the MLB and NFL that ZERO resulted in hospitalizations or deaths and infact were all “asymptomatic”? when is this country going to get smart and take a more focused approach to Covid and protect those truly vulnerable and at risk, this one size fits all approach is the wrong way to go. For example, why should kids ages 18 years or younger, who literally have a better chance of getting struck by lightning twice than dying from Covid are being treated with the same abundance of caution as say a 75 year old with emphysema and heart disease?

Sweden did exactly what I suggested and guess what, they are pretty much over the Covid crisis already meanwhile Europe is surging. Extreme measures do not fix anything, only delays the inevitable. I’m reminded of the scene in Moneyball. Would you rather die slowly by taking multiple gunshots to the chest, or one quick and fast one to the head?

They aren't being treated the same and there is no one size fits all. Football, basketball, baseball, and hockey are being played. Many if not most schools around the country are open until dumb kids like at several Universities go to frat parties and create outbreaks in their communities. It's being handled differently everywhere in this country. Where is this one size?

Our very own Panther player, Reed, was not “asymptomatic". He literally just said this in his interview yesterday.  People who are young and healthy are not immune to having serious cases, even football players (https://www.insider.com/college-football-player-jamain-stephens-dies-covid-19-2020-9) and when they think they don't matter they spread it to those who are vulnerable. This just keeps prolonging how long we deal with this because we are a selfish lazy nation. Not to mention the lingering heart issues. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/covid19-coronavirus-heart-injury-college-athletes-sports

won't be the first game that gets postponed. was very surprised the short sighted NFL decided to schedule the season with the same number of bye weeks. should have extended the season length adding in more bye weeks to account for rescheduled games. idiots.

Seven months later and you still don't get it.

You could essentially add a COVID week at the end of the season to kick games to.   Bump playoffs a week.

We had a player who was not asymptotic. 
Also, baseball had a player who was not:

Boston Red Sox pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez described his experience with covid-19 as feeling “like I was 100 years old.” Now, the 27-year-old left-hander will miss the 2020 season while recovering from a heart issue related to the illness.

      Do they practice down field throws at practice?

      By CRA · Posted

      I still think a Dalton thumb injury screwed us 2 seasons in a row.  It allowed the Bryce Young comeback after whoever finally gave a greenlight on being done w/ him 2 weeks into the season.  and I think we saw a soft benching this year and they wanted to see Andy run it with this crew.  But Andy hurting his thumb killed us from seeing whatever he has at full go in a game.  Bryce Young was never hurt those 2 games to the degree which called him to miss a game IMO.  You don't see QBs sit for such minor things....unless you just want to use it to explore and see.

      Dave Canales Panthers are 3-6 following a win

      By frankw · Posted

      I was quite critical of Ron Rivera's game day coaching decisions and management over his years here. Especially when he coached super conservative playing not to lose. But at the end of the day he never had to try and win with a Bryce Young. John Fox had to try and win with a Bryce Young and he completely checked out and got himself fired. The only. Only solution right now. Is to remove the anchor around our necks from the equation and move forward however we can and assess all the moving parts with the time we have left so we can move forward accordingly in the offseason. Not doing so is only going to further delay evaluating what we have in this young roster and this staff led by Canales.

      XL is a bust

      By hepcat · Posted

      Sometimes GMs try outsmart everyone by picking a player they think has the physical tools and can be coached up but Legette is an example what happens when that doesn't work out. Teams that are already contenders with a full roster can take those chances. The Eagles, for example, could have rolled the dice on a guy like Legette. But the Panthers needed, and still need, to draft guys who are ready to play now in the first round. Legette wasn't that guy and there were much better options available.
