Hopefully there are no more positive test over the week and the Patriots can practice this coming week. I hope both Cam and Gilmour make it back for next weeks game.
Personally I would have let the Pats have their BYE week and postponed the Broncos game indefinitely just to make sure that NE is out of the woods in terms of incubation time and whatnot. As things are now there is still a chance that the new positive case in independent of Newton/Gilmore which would restart the entire timer yet again.
If someone else shows positive next Tuesday/Wednesday the entire clown show starts from anew.
I thought they should cancel it before the season basically because they didn’t seem to have a real plan in place to deal with it. I also wanted them to cancel the season beforehand because I didn’t want to get a month or two of football to have it taken away. Another team or two ends up with a Titans-like situation I think that will at least put a pause on the season.That would suck. I can deal with postponements. And so long as the players still good with taking the risk so they can earn a living then I'm good.
It amazes me that NFL didnt plan for game postponements etc. There should've been more by weeks this season and makeup game weeks
This is just turning into a huge mess. I don't see how they play tomorrow.
The NFL continues to put the players at risk while the union sits back and does nothing.
It's still absurd these guys are playing. It's a horrible look for the NFL right now.
Pushing through with little to no plan is better than an outright cancel. Unless your the players taking the risk what is the value in cancelling? Also if this continues to get worse and they cancel at least you got a few weeks of fun and learned a few things about the players on your team.I thought they should cancel it before the season basically because they didn’t seem to have a real plan in place to deal with it.

at risk of what? Some people are still acting like getting Covid is a death sentence..99.9% of football players who catch covid will be fine...
They should probably avoid those people at least while the virus is in their locker room. Sux but they could of opted out. They knew what they signed up for. And it's on them to avoid those at risk in their lives.What about the people they see their parents their kids their significant others some of the coaching staff?
Over 200,000 people have died because of this and that amount will likely double in the next 6 months. It's attitudes like is the reason this isn't going away anytime soon.
How do you think the gamblers and Vegas feels with factors changing by the minute????No idea how they finish this year with any kind of credibility. The league was about to have the Pats play a game w/o practicing after already playing the same day they traveled and w/o their starting QB. What if that had been the AFCCG? Are these decisions being made on clearly defined protocols that all teams are aware of or all they being made on the fly? We all know how important integrity of the league is.
Was shortsighted to NOT add more byes from the get-go. Not surprising, but very shortsightedLeague should add league wide byes after week 10 and 14 (or something like that) and use them for make up games as needed. Hopefully that will be enough to avoid the scheduling chaos we are in the midst of.
