NFL: ***2020 NFL Season Thread***

[madguy30]

I'm not sure who the teams are, but the idea that they could all still be winless after next week blows my mind. There should not be ties in sports, especially professional sports.

I don't care how boring it is. Have a field-goal off, or 2 point conversion off, or something so there's a conclusion for the football game.

The field goal off would be less contact so injuries aren't as big of a concern. Start at the 10 yard line, each team gets a shot. If they both make it, move back ten yards, and so forth until someone misses.

Yeah that wasn't a great look but it was somewhat understandable. Was 4th and Long if you miss it gives the ball back at like midfield for Bengals to have a play and then a kick to win it.

Hell the Eagles tied yesterday and gained a 1/2 game on the rest of their Division.

Chiefs offense putting on a clinic right now.

All chiefs fans right now.....
Well at least me.

Ravens back in it now.

 

[JP4CY]

I know the Ravens are off but the Chiefs have made mistakes too and could easily be up more than 20 at the moment.

Mahomes>>>>>Jackson

I know Jackson is good, but I’ve never been 100% sold on him.

Interesting. I'd imagine with the NFL they call up some practice squad guys and keep chugging along. I get the sense the NFL in particular isn't going to delay anything.

The Vikings have also stopped all in-person activities. This might end up with two games being cancelled this week.

It'll certainly be interesting. I'd imagine with rapid testing they can identify (or at least claim to identify) those who have it to mitigate the need to quarantine. With that plus practice squad players I'll be they each play.

The way the Vikings are playing they should just forfeit the next 2 games

It probably depends on contact tracing results since the NFL is doing contact tracing after each positive test.

Some practice players will probably get lots of opportunities this season as players get more careless.

Good for guys like Hakeem Butler.

Missed PAT, missed usual Butker gimme field goal, gave up kickoff return TD, didn't convert 3rd and 4th and one, Thompson fumbled away a likely touchdown drive and still won by 14 on the road. This Chiefs team is goooooood.

This could be a "fun bad" watch Thursday Night. Broncos vs. Jets.
