COVID hits the Patriots once again

If they can't play the game by Monday or Tuesday this one will not be able to be rescheduled like the others that have been postponed. Seems like the only 3 options would be 

1) add weeks at the end of the season for these makeup games.

2) make the COVID team forfeit

3) cancel the games entirely and go based on W%

 

NFL has already strongly indicated that they do not want to add extra weeks to the season. I doubt they make a team forfeit, but I honestly do think it would be the most logical decision (and that's not due to Pats disdain, I felt the same about the Titans if it came to that and I actually like that team). NFL's response will be very interesting. Of course, there's still a chance that the Pats-Broncos do play by Monday/Tuesday.

I’m telling you, this way of super strict protocols and freaking out over every little asymptomatic “case” isn’t the proper way to do things. Stop the testing all together, have the older and more at risk staff and coaching members take extra precautions, treat Covid like any other illness in the nfl. Isolate those that don’t feel well and are actually sick. If you are asymptomatic and feel perfectly fine, then play and practice as normal

You can't forfeit if something is out of their control.  These players are going home every night so the virus spread is not contained to team facilities.

It's not completely out of their control. And if a team is unable to be ready to play a scheduled game then it can result in a forfeit, doesn't matter whether it's anyone's fault or out of their control. This is standard in many sports leagues around the world. Unprecedented in the NFL, but this is 2020 and there's a pandemic, it may very well be the best option.

They should really just make the teams play all the rest of their division games in a bubble environment and then the playoffs.

The way you post sure doesn’t make it sound like you are busy enjoying life.

But they can play, the whole team isn't affected but is NFL willing to take the risk of someone not testing positive during the incubation period.

We don't know if they can play. If it winds up like the Titans and they have more and more players testing positive every day they won't be able to play. If it's another situation like before their game against the Chiefs with a player or two testing positive but with several days of consistent negative testing for everyone else before the game then they'll be fine to play by Tuesday probably. It's not really black and white.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.

      oh now that's what you call Mother Fiuggure fans the ones that always have this fierce protective shield around the team no matter if they win or lose  & to be honest there is nothing really wrong with being a Mother Fiugguer fan they just have a different meaning or sense of what a true fan really is                                                 ☺️
