    I was thinking about this today. What I think the league should do (and I don't know the major implications in the overall US Sports scene) is move the SB to March, so there you get 4 weeks of space to move games, not forcing teams to miss their byes...

    It would allow CBS to use their "March Madness" moniker... but I honestly think the league would be happy not playing a few meaningless games given the circumstances.

    Plus what do the playoff teams that don't have any CoVid Bye-Weeks do for those 4 weeks?

      When is any game "meaningless".  Even if a game isn't for playoff contenders, those late season games can often have impact on draft positioning....which we all think is important.  Fair to say?

        Well, I think that we're 5 weeks in and we already have postponed games. I don't think it'll get any better, so some anticipation would be ideal. What happens if they have to postpone games after say Week 15 when there are no more bye weeks left?

          Also feels like heading towards a week being added to the season to play postponed games with playoff implications.

              General thread that I am afraid will get busier and busier...

              Pats' CB Gilmore has tested positive as have two more Titans. This week's TN-BUF game is now in jeopardy.

              Then there's this...

              NFL chief medical officer doesn't rule out league pausing 2020 season amid rising number of COVID-19 cases

              'Every option's on the table,' Allen Sills said Wednesday

              Just when the BIG TEN and PAC 10 are getting their abbreviated season going.

              All bets are still off the table this year on contact sports.

              I was a bit surprised that the NHL and NBA did complete their seasons......hey I read today that LeBron got his 4th ring with 3 different teams.

              MLB is surprisingly limping along in the playoffs. -but- the NFL is yet TBD.

              GO BROWNS, playoffs.....we hope, baby !

              GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND!

                They did a lot of scrambling of the schedule yesterday.    Seems that you may not know who is  playing who from week to week.

                  Thanks, but with the NFL raising the prospect of forfeitures, I'm not sure I'll need it. 😉

                    We cancelled in-person meetings today due to a player reporting flu-like symptoms... no positive CoVid-19 results as yet.

                    Elsewhere a Packer (A.J. Dillon) and a Raven (Humphrey) tested positive.

                    Side Note: Apparently Vegas takes the game off the board if a player on either team tests positive.

                      Yep. I saw Trevor Lawrence with his test and immediately tried to take BC covering the spread - everything including props were pulled.

                        Player now has tested negative... as has all other Browns tested.
