RIPPA Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 This is technically for next week but that's what happens when Thanksgiving fucks everything up The Ravens had to close their facility due to multiple positive test "in the organization". There is no word yet on if that includes any players Obviously if it includes a player (or players) - that could potentially force the NFL to move the game off of Thanksgiving (due to contract tracing) Of course I could also see the NFL saying - because it being the prime Turkey game and to keep Pittsburgh undefeated - YOU MUST PLAY WITH ONLY 12 GUYS! Oh and then take draft picks away from the Raiders because... reasons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 Well this isn't good EDIT - in the team's statement they said the emergency was with a staff member so... yeah... that's not good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Shocker that the only game worth anything on Thursday is the one with COVID issues. The virus is punishing us more by ignoring the Lions vs Texans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His knee bent at an ungodly angle, and it seemed to be flopping around a bit. They never replayed it during the game, which I appreciate, but I was watching Red Zone and they showed it multiple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that he's "undergoing further medical tests". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuetsar Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 They didn't do anything to the Titans, so they won't so it to the Ravens either. Whether they ought to is a different question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyWhioux Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I would just like to have a copy of whatever criteria the league uses to determine which teams get to cancel/postpone their games until they get all their personnel back from a COVID outbreak vs. which teams have to "suck it up" and field a JV J.O.B. Squad at the originally scheduled time like its the 1987 Strike Season all over again [and of course risk infecting the other team in the process] you know, just for my personal edification 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawful Metal Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Fuck the Tits. Texans would never do the Steelers dirty. So excited to see the Texans play the Lions on Thanksgiving! Last time they played, Justin Forsett totally got tackled, then got up and ran untouched for a touchdown and Jim Schwartz that idiot tried to challenge a play that was already under review triggering the dumb rule that if you try to challenge an already challenged play you automatically lose the challenge. How many coaching changes have the Lions had since then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) Just two. From Schwartz to Caldwell to Patricia. Edit: Also the NFL dropped that stupid fucking rule in the following off-season. Edited November 26, 2020 by Brian Fowler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
