I think it is more reasonable to say, there is wishful thinking that there will be a season. Well...ok, maybe so. With no fans in the seats, I suppose it's possible, but the staff size worries me. You get 1 person in regular contact with the team, the whole team will have to go into quarantine. Players...50. Coaches...12? Strength and conditioning assistants. Clubhouse and equipment staff. Grounds crew and facilities maintenance. And that's regular season. Training camp???? 90 players, many more trainer types, food service types, housekeeping types. Would the physical stress of training camp lead to higher risk of infection in the event of exposure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 They've got 3 months to see how things work, no need for any real speculation at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 On the contrary, everyone is unemployed and sequestered, there is absolutely a need for wild speculation. Logan D. Hurricanes and Starlord 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthews wasn't a big shock...11 years at LB is high mileage. Gurley was; but the reporting is, it was his contract conditions. his bonus and salary for NEXT year would go to fully guaranteed. Joe Flacco cut, with reason given as failed physical. Which might be a bit of an excuse; Broncos' doctors haven't been able to examine him recently. Potential grievance there, tho, I think. Badger, you're right that it's early, but the experts are expecting this will not go away soon. The impact of the measures we're under now, is quite severe. It probably is not supportable for that long. The expert opinion is we may see cyclic surges...relax when the new cases are down until there's an upswing, and there will, they believe, be upswings. If we're talking strictly local, like schools, it might be plausible to work around this. But in football, as tightly joined by the schedule as the league is, it's fair to treat the entire league as one single, large, distributed group. If one team gets hit by a local/regional lockdown, or their area gets hit with a travel block...then what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 Yeah, I just saying not to commit to one way or another. When it comes to the public, it has been handled badly, with hysteria sweeping in well before the disease. Some of my worries right now, is that the panic will end up causing more fallout than the disease itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 Former Seahawks QB Tarvaris Jackson was killed in an auto accident last Saturday. He was 36. Rather mediocre as a quarterback, Jackson deserves an MVP mention for one the greatest comebacks in NFL playoff history... without playing a down. The 2014 NFC championship game was between the Packers and the Seahawks in Seattle, and frankly, Russell Wilson stank it up for most of regulation, while the last five minutes was direct conjuration of raw chaos ... and the Packers tied it back up with a FG at 0:19 left in regulation. And then came Tarvaris Jackson. Pete Carroll sent Jackson out alone to the coin toss. Which he won. Which he had done every other time he'd gone out for a toss. Seattle took the ball, and drove the length of the field with redemptive long passes by Wilson to Doug Baldwin and Jerome Kearse, the last scoring a TD to win the game 28-22 without Green Bay ever touching the ball. But without Jackson ... who knows. RIP, sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 And now the XFL is filing for bankruptcy. No resources to weather the break. I wonder if the Atlanta uniform designer was poached from them slightly ahead of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hopcroft Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 I got to see the 2018 game between the Chiefs and the Rams a few days ago, on YouTube. Which was quite fascinating. It was weird that a game with 105 career points was most notable for aggressive defense. Neither team was quite the same after that game, but the Chiefs did win the Super Bowl last season. The Chiefs are looking to repeat, while the Rams now have a quarterback controversy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 The Rams also had to let a couple of key players walk this offseason (including Todd Gurley and Brandin Cooks) and are eating tens of millions in dead cap space as a result. It almost feels like they're rebuilding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
