bizzyeddie Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 I went with delayed but I'm seriously worried they may not be a season at all. Football can be played deep into winter so not like the seasons make a big difference. I just remember laying off my employees and saying see you all in a couple weeks...that was what seemed like forever ago and still can't tell them when they'll be back. So I'm not counting on anything. I burned out waiting for baseball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 There is a lot of money to be made, which means there would be a lot of money to be lost if they don’t play. The owners lose money and the players lose money. Even if there are no fans in the stands, there is a lot of TV money on the line. I think there’s a good chance they cancel some exhibition games, but I don’t think they will delay the regular season. Of course, it could start spreading during training camp or during the season and then they could take emergency actions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scine09 Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) Not sure I see the point in a delayed start. Things aren’t going to really change I wouldn’t think from September 10th to weeks later. To me it’s either a full season or nothing. And the way things are going no season could be possible. I mean what’s going to happen if a lineman gets it? Are they going to have to quarantine every other lineman? You won’t be able to field a team of legit NFL players at that point.

Starkiller Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 The players don’t seem to mind the risk of brain injuries enough to stop playing so I doubt the risk of a virus is going to deter them unless players start to die Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliTitan3518 Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 I think they are going to attempt to start the season on time. There is too much money to be had for them not to try. A delay would only happen if there is some kind of push back from the NFLPA. No delay is going to change the risk. I still think they need to increase roster sizes or implement a veteran practice squad. They need players on hand that are capable of stepping in. There should be a mandatory quarantine period, daily testing/monitoring and mandatory isolation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle021 Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 I’m 50/50 One part of me says for the benefit and safety of everyone to not have a season One part says have the players sign a waiver and have them wear a mask while playing. If they will risk brain injuries, and spinal cord injuries then they will risk catching a virus. One thing is for sure. No fans should be allowed, and if there are it should be kept to a minimum of no more than 5,000 fans and families can be no larger than a family of 4 and people over 60 and younger than 7 not allowed to attend.

CaliTitan3518 Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 Ive got a few friends that are currently on rosters and they said they haven't heard anything or received any updates. The fact that the season is suppose to start in a month and there isn't a detailed plan in place is kind of concerning. luvyablue256, SleepingTitan, pat, and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepingTitan Posted June 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 My worry is that teams will lose so much training time that it won't be feasibly to put together a roster. Also, what happens when the game starts at 12, but at 9am 9 players test positive? Now your 53 man roster is reduced plus in key positions you're missing stars or even starters all together. Maybe no QB or no corner or no center. What if your long snapper or punter goes out? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're concerned about the liability and if later they could be responsible for deaths, deaths of family members, or even increased deaths or medical problems in the communities in which these players live -- not necessarily the players. I'm sure a ton of new case law will be developed because of this. Questions like: did the NFL foster and environment that was conducive to increased Covid-19 infections that then was passed onto the community and healthcare systems.

Dinx81 Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 Im expecting a regular start to the season. Possible cancellation of pre season, few, possibly no fans and every player, coach etc getting tested the day before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a team makes approx 138 million off of fans per game? That seems like a lot. Oiler FANatic 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems like a lot. ya there is no way that is right. My last post was sarcasm. Maybe that is per week across the whole league. That would be about $8-$10m per home team. 60k fans would be a little under $150 per fan. Edited June 23, 2020 by CaliTitan3518 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
