    The Kung Flu Is Starting To Give The NFL Headaches

    Las Vegas
    New England

    Both games involving those teams could get postponed.

    Tennessee with more tests, can't open the practice facility, already dealing with being a game short and may have to move the Buffalo game.

    Goodell had already expressed frustration after seeing coaches and players viloating mask protocols on and off the field...

    “Protocol violations that result in virus spread requiring adjustments to the schedule or otherwise impacting other teams will result in additional financial and competitive discipline, including the adjustment or loss of draft choices or even the forfeit of a game,” Goodell wrote in the memo, obtained by the Associated Press. “Simply put, compliance is mandatory. Now is the time to recommit ourselves to our protocols and best practices for the duration of the season.”...

    ..."Our fans will be deprived of games," Goodall said. "Competitive inequities will be introduced into our season. Players will not be paid for games not played and clubs will similarly suffer financial consequences.”
    They've already been handing out fines like Halloween candy...

    There is a reason MLS, NHL and NBA had a bubble created to play games. Maybe they followed the health professionals advice and not Trump's wish.

    Being in a bubble doesn't guarantee safety

    I remember bubble boy on Seinfeld had to be rushed to the hospital after his fight with George

    That's just medical fact

    Maybe Carolina but not sure that's really going to be much of an upset.
    Fitzmaqic in MIA could be worth a look against SF. But I dunno.

    Yeah, I would imagine Seattle on Sunday night is going to be sitting in some parlays.

    The question is whether or not those parlays survive the morning, then afternoon games.

    Yeah, this thread is not about mask wearing, it's about the inevitable juggling of schedules, including Thursday night games throwing a wrench in the sheduling.

    Let's see how the weekend unfolds. They seem to be game for playing games any day of the week.

    https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...vid-19-issues/

    ...Currently, 15 teams have issues with the virus, in one form or another. In no particular order, they are the Ravens, Texans, Colts, Broncos, Chiefs, Cowboys, Packers, Bears, 49ers, Cardinals, Eagles, Raiders, Lions, Falcons, and Dolphins...

    That’s nearly half the league, presently struggling with some issue or another related to the pandemic...

    Raiders lost a draft pick because of that action in the original post and then subsequent repeat violations....
