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.

    • I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50. 
    • And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂
    • 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.
