Get ready for the stay home stay safe crowd to demand the league be shut down. Lets see if Roger has the sack to do what's right and ignore the media and fear hype and press on.

Hang in there, man. I’ll be praying for you.

I’ve had a few coworkers test positive, it’s a crazy world right now. So far I’ve dodged it.

Thanks, man but I got rid of it just in time for Labor Day weekend. Was a shitty couple of weeks but clearly I survived.

You got that right, my man...even at my advanced age.

The NFL has done a good job putting protocols into place. There are going to be positive cases that occur as the season goes on. Hopefully they can continue be identified and isolated quickly.

just because you don’t care about anyone else and only want to watch football, doesn’t mean people should have to subject themselves the a virus that could kill you or leave you with unforeseen complications for the rest of their lives.

the nfl doesn’t care you and is not impressed that you are tooting their horn. this whole return to normalcy nonsense is only going to make us have to deal with it longer.

let’s see, so if they don’t cancel the game, they have to reschedule it. but the two teams would have different bye weeks. so i don’t know how that works, but it should be easier if you aren’t selling tickets.

but really, why would we expect it not to spread throughout the whole league? it’s early in the schedule. and mlb wasn’t able to prevent outbreaks without a bubble.

we are three weeks into a 16 game season. plus, we have flu season coming. it was fun for a couple weeks. but how many teams do you need cases from before you shut it down?

Your anger is misdirected. Having NFL games is no more dangerous than the people who refuse to wear masks in public or the states that have opened everything back up prematurely. And who knows what "normal" will be when we come out of this. We're not returning to the way things were anytime soon, with or without football.

COVID-19 SURVIVAL RATES (per CDC):Ages 0-19: 99.997%Ages 20-49: 99.98%Ages 50-69: 99.5%Ages 70+: 94.6%

These are the updated survival rates from the cdc, obviously what the media doesn't want to tell everyone is how much more likely survivability has become since March, as they have learned what not to do and as the virus itself losses steam. We are not shutting down again and if we do the damage done to this nation will be felt for decades to come!

Schultz’s 16 targets in place of Blake Jarwin (torn ACL) since Week 2 are tied with Logan Thomas (see below) for the fourth-most at their respective position. And unlike Thomas, 13 of Schultz’s targets have been charted as ‘catchable’ at Pro Football Focus in that span. He can be depended on weekly from Dak Prescott.

Brett Rypien getting the start Thursday for the Broncos.

[El Rey]

Per Schefter, league plan as of right now, is to proceed with TEN-PIT game this Sunday

DET plans to proceed with Adrian Peterson at lead RB

[Tony208]

As long as teams and players continue to follow protocols and minimize risk it looks like we will have a full season. Titans will be fine without 3 players for a month.

Didn't they get Bortles? Is he in COVID protocol or something?

Sports are a part of that.

Kids in my area attend virtual school. Small businesses are operating at below half capacity. Practically all team sports at all levels up to HS are cancelled. MD Governor Hogan has been praised for his handling of the pandemic. It’s a shame more Governors don’t share His cautious approach.
NFL is not essential. The vast resources of the NFL can be used in much more beneficial ways.

Oh yeah, this just in: first game has been postponed a day or two over Covid concerns.
Over 200k dead. How about let’s dial things back a bit, at the very least, until a proven vaccine is in mass production...as experts predict will happen in a few months.

I asked this before and I will ask again, as it went unanswered: what happens if someone linked to an NFL team is critically injured or killed due to Covid complications? Was it all worth it?
Ignorant fanboy: Sure was, didn’t affect me in any way.
