  • Let’s hope Baker is clear.  He was standing next to Stefanski most of the game 

  • Oh man...

    Wouldn’t that make the rest of the team as well as the majority of the Steelers’ roster a “close contact?”

    The first guy I thought of was Baker and then I thought Tomlin prior to the game- yacking it up.

    Within 6 feet for more than 15 mins. 
     

    Im hearing it could be Bitonio.  He was breathing on defensive lineman and backers all game are they tracing back to Sunday is the question.

  • Can't we catch a break? Can he hold team meetings and game plan remotely? We're the last game on Sunday night would hate to get steamrolled on national TV because of fricking COVID.

  • Did anybody really think this was not going to happen...

    Put both teams on a full 10 day quarantine?   Oh that would be fresh. 

  • Again no problem if certain people have to sit out because of what their test or contact tracing - just be fair when it happens to Pitt., KC, GB, etc.  

    And with the games this week stakes are just a tad higher if the positives roll in with multiple places.  Why not postpone it all for one week?  Curb the spread a bit- Isn’t it a Health and safety risk continuing forward- obviously coaches players are seemingly healthy but contacting it. 

  • It's Bitonio and Hodge too. I'm going to be extremely curious to know about the details that led to this situation devolving the way it has. So unbelievably unfortunate.

  • I blame Haden,  how much says he gave it to a bunch of shittsburgh people and they never tracked it. Cover up for league sweethearts

    You saying you think the Steelers gave it to us?  

    Here we go with another conspiracy theory.

  • Dez Bryant tested positive before a game, and they simply removed him and the game went on. 

    I'm wondering how consistent this testing is, team to team. I'm sure it's supposed to be all the same per the agreement with management & the union, but you've got to wonder.

    So much for this fucking game.

    The last game should have been postponed.   They all got it because they were forced to all be together for that game.

    Fucking NFL.  I suspect their attitude is "it's just the Browns...no big deal".    But what if it now becomes  the Chiefs or the Packers...or someone the league cares about?

    What did I say about the NFL  needing to  "Bubble".  

    Of course, you also have to ask:  WTF is going on over there. They have seemed to have had more trouble than anyone else.

    Good guess... dammit...

    So now it's in the OL room... and back in the WR with Hodge... if they in fact were in rooms this past week.

    As for "close contact"... I wonder if masks are a mitigating factor? Also outdoors... both of which would play into the Stef-Tomlin interactions Sunday.

  • Oh.... and on playcalling...

    I wonder whether letting Baker call his own game is being considered.

    Isn't it just bitonio out from the o line? We had all our starters last week and unless I'm missing something he's the only I've heard will be out.
