This game is going to be cancelled. Maybe there is some sort of movement to MNF since the team is vaccinated. 

They don't do that this year. This year's teams forfeit. The NFL is done with scheduling nightmares.

Contact tracing homie 

Yeah, but if they don't test positive there is no issue.  Its not 18 months ago.  You don't have to quarantine for 14 days just because you've been in contact with someone who happened to test positive.

I don't want any bad forfeit karma.  Hope they can play

You also don't want COVID passed from team to team. 

They bussed not only the team but the families to Jacksonville. That meant also putting them up in hotels, rentals, etc. In Florida. All of that increases the odds for positive COVID tests.

It all depends on how many coaches and (most important) players are positive for COVID.  A game can go on without coaches (or maybe with remote coaches using headsets) but if enough players are exposed, the game will get shut down.  Only the NFL knows what the number is to have a forfeit. 

The team was displaced due to the hurricane and is currently practicing in Texas.  First game in FLA.  So two COVID hotspots.

I don't know where this forfeit talk is coming from BUT if it did happen, it would be both a good thing and a bad thing.

A good thing because it gives the Panthers a nice 2-0 start to the season plus it's one game less that CMC gets overused.

A bad thing because we still won't know how Sam would've improved from Week 1.   There will be constant speculation for another full week regarding that. 

 

Anyway, we'll see how the NFL handles this.

    • In 2025 Sam Darnold had over 1k more passing yards than Bryce Young on 1 less pass attempt. Repeat that to yourself several times and let it sink in. I absolutely love it when people come on here and invoke Sam Darnold like some gotcha. Darnold is the physical prototype for what anyone needs in a franchise QB. All the physical tools. Few people thought he would put it all together on the mental side of the position. He used to make some of the worst decisions you would ever see. At times in the past he made up for that with absurd throws and athleticism. But make no mistake whatsoever no matter how you feel about our starting QB. Bryce Young is a completely opposite conundrum. He lacks virtually any and all physical tools and athleticism and his elite processing is really mediocre at best on a good day and horrific on a bad day. These are realities people should have already been addressing instead of quadrupling down in year four.
    • The nice thing about the timing of Bryce's contract at least is that it's going to match up with the 2027 Draft Class. No excuses, he either becomes Rams 2nd half Bryce year long, or we draft his replacement.  Nothing wrong with carrying Bryce on his 5th year expiring and a 1st round rookie waiting in the wings. Let the rookie sit until the trade deadline, deal Bryce to a needy team at the time, profit. 
    • Yeah they were bad QBs - but QB's that stayed on their teams for several years.  BY is better than all of those.
