owners are good friends of goodhell?

actually, the NFL position is, if the covid only affects one position on the team. Or some maybe

dishonest rationalization.

We'll see.

The Denver thing was more of a punishment for their break in protocol

Of course in arguably the biggest game of the last 25 years this shit happens. Good lord.

Damn Murphy's Law had to come in didn't it?

Obviously a big blow. Down somewhere around 5 or 6 starters now.

Jarvis...Higgins....DPJ all to be placed on covid list...wow!!!

Do they postpone the game at this point?

your WRs for tomorrow

Derrick Willies, Jmarcus Bradley, Hall, Njoku, Hunt

Wait, now...you are saying it is 4 WRs? Landry, Higgins, Hodge and Peeps all on covid list?

Isn't that ALL of our WRs? Except for guys brought up from the PS? Willies, Bradley... and Hall, whom I didn't even know was on the team?

That means a lot of throws to Hooper, Harrison, Njoku, and to our RBs... Chubb/Hunt/D'Ernest Johnson?

Is the league going to let this happen?

Maybe. I heard that if we get a guy that tests positive tomorrow and tracing cannot not be confirmed the game could be postponed.

They also broke COVID protocol.

Final Practice reports...

Other than the CoVid kids and Smith, who continues to look iffy, we're not looking too bad.

As predicted Richardson looks good to go and Ward went FP on Friday. Conklin just resting... he has no choice but to play.

No changes for NYJ.

They need to put the players in a bubble for the playoffs.

There was some talk about doing just that. And perhaps they should. Maybe only playing games in 4 cities...including the Super Bowl city. Last year in the playoffs they played in 9 cities....including the Super Bowl.

I just don't know how, logistically they would do it. You could say that 3 of them would be the SB city (Tampa this year) plus the stadiums of the team that has won home field advantage.....but this year those 2 cities look like they could be Kansas City and Green Bay.....two obvious cold weather stadia, and if they wanted to do a bubble, they would not choose those cities. They would choose warm weather or dome facilities.

So, I don't know. Also, some states are very very strict on who can come and go in their state at this point. See the map in this link:

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/map-coronavirus-travel-restrictions-inside-united-states-n1236157

You can see that California is out, But Georgia, Texas, Arizona, Louisiana Nevada and Florida could work because they have few if any restrictions and at least they would let the teams come play there.

So, how about this:

All 1st and 2d round AFC games to be played in Dallas (an NFC stadium) (or you could choose say ATL/ARIZ/N.O)

All 1st and 2d round AFC games to be played in Houston (an AFC stadium)...or you could choose Indy/Miami/JAX/Las Vegas [it could be hard for players to "bubble" in LV and MIami]

The two Conference Championship games on the home field of the Top seed who has made it. e. g. if both KC and GB make it, they they would host that game, as usual.

Super Bowl stays in Tampa as set.

Its a plan. Put me in charge and we could make it work.
