Set to change numerous times surely
Sports Business Daily reports the NFL considers Oct. 15 the drop-dead date for a 16-game season that could still be completed by February.
Oct. 15 would be Week 6 under normal circumstances. John Ourand and Ben Fischer report the league would strongly want any 16-game season to be completed by the end of February. In that scenario, regular season bye weeks would be eliminated as well as the traditional off week between the conference championship games and Super Bowl. For now, the league is still planning to release a normal schedule by May 7, but it will be constructed in such a way that allows easy reconfiguration. Ourand and Fischer's entire article is worth a click.

So for a wild card team to go to the Super Bowl they would play 20 weeks straight? I imagine the NFLPA will have something to say about that.

Yeah. I think you get rid of the week before the Super Bowl for sure, but I think you need regular-season bye weeks.

Teams with early season byes would get insanely screwed
Imagine having a week 4 bye then playing 16 straight weeks into the SB, vs another team with a week 12 bye or something

The problem is the wildcard games. The top 2 in each conference would get an insane advantage by having wildcard weekend off if it's the only bye available to any team all season. I think they'd honestly be better playing a 14 or 15 game regular season than trying to do 16 games with no bye.

On the other hand I'm simply demanding a well planned reopening of the shining jewel of NNJ.

What do you think is going to happen if nobody is allowed to work for 6 months? It's not realistic. We have a lot more data now than in early March, excrement was overblown. That's fine, understandable, but it can't go on this way certainly until the fall.

what data are you speaking about? what has been overblown?
the reason why the statistics are the way they are right now is precisely because of the measures many states decided to take in early-mid march

Number of deaths was way overestimated even factoring in mitigation. Now we're learning a lot more people are testing to have had the virus and have developed an antibody, which means the fatality rate is much lower then originally thought, we know which groups are more at risk and why.
Not telling everyone to go out and lick a subway pole but much of the country can get back to work and be careful. It's not like the first few weeks when we had no clue what we were dealing with. Except for a few places in NY the hospitals weren't overloaded, some are now closing down. The Navy ship, Javits Center, much of that was never used.

If things are so simple. Why are no politicians anywhere in the world agreeing with you?
I will concede the majority of politicians are absolute freaking morons, but I'm sure even they could realize this
That said hospitals across the country are going bankrupt as freak

There was almost 6000 new cases in NY 4/27, you can't open up NY right now that's nuts. Anyone wanting to is a freaking idiot. There has to be a negligible amount before you start opening things up, then you have to factor in the absolute worst thing to do is put 80,000 people in close proximity while the virus is running wild.
-
Not to mention hospitals across the country still have (almost) every single surgery postponed indefinitely. My hospitals losing almost 100 million dollars a month.
The thought that you want to open things up (increasing hosptial volume) when hospitals aren't even willing to freaking (most) heart surgeries right now is monumentally freaking stupid

Politicians are inherently risk averse, no one wants to be seen as the idiot who opens up only to get blamed for infecting a bunch of people

Most people's jobs are bullshit. The problem is assuming they can't or don't deserve to be housed/fed/clothed if they aren't working. I'm not even disagreeing that we'll have football this year, just poking a hole in the Venezuela comparison.

Some politicians want to open and some don't. Let's face it, a lot of them get off on having tons of power, if they and the media had their way they'd have everyone locked up watching them all the time. Their main interest is themselves and keeping their power, so nobody wants to do anything where they can later get blamed for anything bad happening. That said, depending on where they are, there are a lot of voices on both sides.

New York isn't the rest of the country. Most of the problem is New York, that doesn't mean people out west and everywhere else should lose their businesses because stupid Cuomo ordered nursing homes to take positive patients in with a bunch of elderly people. The rest of the country isn't packed on subway trains. A one size fits all solution isn't going to work.

They're losing money because they anticipated a lot of COVID cases that never came in, and by canceling everything else some have gone out of business. All of what they are doing and we are doing was based on doomsday projections that never happened and fear of the unknown. Now that we know more and the numbers didn't pan out, time to adjust.
Again, my point here is we can and should be playing football games by September. Whether or not you cram 80,000 people into MetLife by then is another issue, but there is absolutely no reason why there shouldn't be an NFL season.

Venezuela is the most recent example of a prosperous country turning to excrement once centralized government decided they were going to take over everything. An extreme example yes, you seem to be taking it literally, but if that's the way we go that's the direction this will head.
Look how hard a time our government has doing anything, ever. Not just now, go back as far as you want. In this case they wanted to "quickly get money in the hands of people", what happened? The money goes to Harvard, big corporations, pet projects, like everything else it gets wasted. Now people are scrambling to get some scraps which aren't going to cover their bills, and the politicians blame each other while looking to borrow, print and spend more.
I don't know how you get off saying most people's jobs are bullshit. Tell that to them and their families. You want everyone on a gigantic welfare roll? Some people do, and those are the ones trying to use this as an opportunity to push that crap on everyone else who doesn't want it. Again, early on in this I think everyone was on board with a temporary shutdown to avoid a mass outbreak. Except for a couple places there is no mass outbreak, so at this point it's overkill. Leaving everything shut down guarantees an economic and societal disaster worse than what were were originally trying to avoid.

Oh ok so lets add, NJ, California, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Michigan off the top of my head, they all have unacceptable numbers at the moment and that represents how many teams? So yeah stupid Cuomo, one of the few leaders actually leading (I traditionally didn't like Cuomo) actually doing a good job, lets criticize him.
I have no idea what you're talking about with the nursing home thing, it honestly doesn't make sense.

Otherwise healthy 35-year-olds are having strokes as the initial symptom of coronavirus.
The first dog was diagnosed with coronavirus after it had previously been found to jump to cats.
I'll agree there are lots of people on "both sides" with opinions. There are all those experts on the "stay the freak home" side, and all the idiots on the "get back to normal, everything's fine" side.
I keep hearing this bullshit strawman argument that people want others to get sick just to "be right." Here's my thing. I don't want anyone to get sick, even someone I'd consider an enemy, because this disease is horrible. But if you demand everything go back to normal, you go ahead with everyone who agrees with you. The rest of us will hold one big memorial in the name of your sacrifice when it's safe to come outside again.

Now could you specifically name which people in the government support more robust direct payments to people and which ones ensured the rich didn't have to skip a meal? Because just chalking it up to some vague force of nature called "our government" doesn't cut it, and trying to pull a "both sides" argument completely contradicts reality right now.
There are proposals on the table right now to make $2000 monthly payments to every American until quarantine ends and the people opposing that have names and addresses. There's no logistical obstacle here, only political opposition.

My statement about bullshit jobs doesn't begrudge anyone making a living, it's just a fact and a consequence of the way our economy is set up. Life goes on, our resources aren't going anywhere, and any economic suffering (actual suffering, not postponed Disneyworld trips) as a result of the duration of quarantine is completely avoidable if we use the tools at our disposal.

Football teams have 53-man rosters plus practice squads plus massive coaching staffs and training staffs.
Football is a logistical nightmare to do during coronavirus, and it's less than 3 months until training camp.
Everyone who plays and is involved in a football game would need to be quarantined. Likely for months during the season. No visiting extended friends and family. None of that. Because if one football player gets it, there's a good chance that will spread like wildfire. Imagine 68-year old Bill Belichick getting coronavirus. Or 81-year old Tom Moore. Or if some player gets it, spreads it to his wife, who spreads it to her parents, and now more people are dying.
It's not that simple as saying, "We can and should be playing football games in September." Quite frankly, we probably shouldn't play football games in September. I hope they play because I love the NFL and I don't want to think of fall without it. But it's hard to think of a responsible way of doing that which doesn't completely upend players' and coaches' lives for several months.
We aren't Venezuela. Comparing the US to Venezuela is an irrelevant and useless argument.

Read up on it and it will make sense to you. He mandated nursing homes accept COVID patients, exposing them to the most vulnerable people. This was on March 25 when people already knew the elderly were at risk.
Not sure your point about the other states. Every state should go at their own pace, not one size fits all. Regarding football, that's 4 or 5 months off.

To be clear, I don't favor demanding people go to work or demanding they stay home. We have a Bill of Rights, people should be able to make their own choices and take their own risks.

Where is that money going to come from? We're over $22 trillion in debt now, mostly from entitlements. Then you have politicians--yes, sorry, on both sides--who love to stuff our money into their own interests and write these massive bills, leading to delays, corruption and waste. You seriously think we can pay people to do nothing and our economy will be fine?

Boy you guys are really defensive of Venezuela. I'll be sure not to criticize Cuba or the USSR while we're here. Pro football teams also have the best medical staff handy at all times and their players are among the lowest risk groups.
Again, there's a balance between taking unnecessary risks and just hiding at home for a year. The survival rate here is over 99%, the overall numbers are lower than past viruses and way lower than projected. It's amazing the group think here, people want to dig into the original thought of STAY HOME based on inaccurate data, and the mere suggestion that we should rethink it now that we know the data was flawed brings all kids of sarcasm and vitriol.

Yeah, go ahead. Take your own risk. But try to contain your shock when the vast majority of people say "Yeah, that's okay, I'll see you when the experts tell me it's safe."
I would love to know what the people who want to reopen everything actually think would happen. The only thing that would happen is a lot of people would be fired for telling their bosses to freak right off.
But that would serve the "side" that wants to reopen everything because then everyone could be denied unemployment.

It’s because it’s nice for them to sit on their lazy asses all day and watch Sesame Street with their kids in their pajamas and day drink and smoke weed and excrement post on social media and talk about how they should get Yang/Trump bux every week because they’re STAYing HOME
Once those luxuries start to come to an end because 80% of the population is on a welfare timeout they’ll come to their senses. Global food shortage, rampant inflation, economic destruction, and rioting isn’t far off. Until then let them find reasons to get upset about Trump so they can high five each other
-
. It's amazing the group think here
Group think? You realize that Badger and JE probably wanted to punch in the face over some of my views. See there's a thing called nuance. I can have an opinion without needing to ask the Montana State militia or some or some other random dumb motherfuckers. To close your eyes and open up stuff and hope the virus will disappear won't make it so.

"...people should be able to make their own choices and take their own risks," isn't a convincing argument when your decision can kill me or someone I love. Grow the freak up, snowflake.

People aren't even allowed to chose when and how the freaking die in this country. Hell we've spent the last 50 years having fierce debates about who can have sex with with who or when a fetus becomes a baby.
People in America can't make grownup decisions without a solid 100 years of debate first

At least I'm not alone here. I don't think reevaluating drastic measures based on real data that we now have, or questioning "leaders" and media who have been lying to us for years are radical ideas. You're right, once people go to the store and can't find basic excrement they need they might rethink what an "essential worker" means.
-
"...people should be able to make their own choices and take their own risks," isn't a convincing argument when your decision can kill me or someone I love. Grow the freak up, snowflake.
Then you or someone you love can stay home if you feel at risk. Nobody is forcing anyone to go out, but forcing people who need to take care of their families to stay home is disastrous, especially in places where it's no longer necessary, assuming it ever was.
-
Yeah, go ahead. Take your own risk. But try to contain your shock when the vast majority of people say "Yeah, that's okay, I'll see you when the experts tell me it's safe."

You're making a strawman argument here, who is saying reopen everything? The vast majority of the country is not at risk like New York City, and shouldn't have to base their decisions, freedoms and economy on New York City which is completely different in every way.
What do we think would actually happen? Based on what we've seen so far, it wouldn't be much different than staying in a lockdown, except for keeping people from going broke and losing their homes. Sweden had no lockdown and their death rate is lower than Michigan, roughly the same size and has a complete lockdown. My guess is we'll know even more as time goes by and more places take different approaches.

Here is real data: take a look at Sweden
From well known trash mag and failing Fake News source commonly known as The NY Times:
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/28/world/europe/sweden-coronavirus-herd-immunity.html
STOCKHOLM — She stood leaning on her cane, briefly resting among dozens of bubbly young Swedes out enjoying one of the first sunny spring days of the year.
“I’m trying not to get too close to people,” said Birgit Lilja, 82, explaining that she had left her house to pick up a new identity card in person. “But I trust them to be careful with me.”
Trust is high in Sweden — in government, institutions and fellow Swedes. When the government defied conventional wisdom and refused to order a wholesale lockdown to “flatten the curve” of the coronavirus epidemic, public health officials pointed to trust as a central justification.
Swedes, they said, could be trusted to stay home, follow social distancing protocols and wash their hands to slow the spread of the virus — without any mandatory orders. And, to a large extent, Sweden does seem to have been as successful in controlling the virus as most other nations.
Sweden’s death rate of 22 per 100,000 people is the same as that of Ireland, which has earned accolades for its handling of the pandemic, and far better than in Britain or France.
Yet, on this warm spring day, at least, there was little evidence that people were observing the protocols — adding further mystery to Sweden’s apparent success in handling the scourge without an economically devastating lockdown.

To close your eyes and open up stuff and hope the virus will disappear won't make it so.
Best way to get rid of it is to develop herd immunity, which isn't going to happen with everyone hiding at home.

NY Times is pretty biased, always has been. They covered up the Holocaust for a long time, look it up.
You can have no lockdown and still take protective measures, nobody is saying to go on like there is no danger. I'm out delivering food to people all the time now, we take measures, mask, gloves, distance, that's fine. Helps people stay home that need to stay home and allows me to be able to feed my family while my wife is out of two jobs.

Listen I’m with you but even the suggestion of such things with these people makes you think that you’re suggesting full systems go 100% reopen with all old people and immunocompromised in a massive room getting sprayed by corona hoses

Yes it was, and there's no reason they can't play football games 4-1/2 months from now. There's a number of ways it can be done based on the circumstances as we get to that point. The NBA was already playing when the virus got here and a large number of those guys tested positive early on, then recovered. Pretty sure they all lived. Most of the money comes from TV anyway, even if you had to have no crowd or a sparse crowd.

Perfect way to wrap this up. See you down the road, guys, stay safe. Maybe I'll deliver some of you guys food.

I realize you're not the brightest tool in the shed so I'll explain.
Sure most nfl players will recover if they get it. I'm sure very few of them will die during the season, and the league will get monster ratings and mass viewership everytime a player does die.
The problem is multiple fold. First you're basically saying players have to agree not to see any of their friends/family at all for 5 to 8 months depending on how much camp/training they have.
Next is the issue is what happens when one player does get it and it spreads like wildfire through the league? What will happen every game when you have multiple players missing every week either positive with coronavirus or mandatory quarantine for suspected Corona?
I'll concede that football will be entertaining even with a mish mosh of players. But the product will be immensely fucked up when you have not only the regular football injuries (which I imagine will be increased due to the dcreeased camps/practices etc) but then having numerous players out every week with the virus or quarantine.
I am of the belief that there's a decent chance of their being football this year. But if it does happen it will be a season with a severely diminished product the likes of which none of us will ever see again, likely much more diminished than even XFL.
Ill also point out that there's probably close to a 100% chance that if this season happens there will be at least a few games canceled or forfeited because of outbreaks within a single teams locker room

I agree? Good job DCM
In order to hold practices over 100 people need to be in the same facility.
In order to hold a game and broadcast it, that number probably jumps up to 300. 300 new people every game. That's how this thing becomes worse during the second wave than the first.
I really dont see this being feasible.

Number of deaths was way overestimated even factoring in mitigation. Now we're learning a lot more people are testing to have had the virus and have developed an antibody, which means the fatality rate is much lower then originally thought, we know which groups are more at risk and why.
again, please cite the data and the models that you're referring to. i hope you haven't been making these statements simply because it echoes things you've been hearing from politicians and other people/groups who are tired of the stay-at-home orders.
if you're talking about the IHME model being used by the white house that earlier this month predicted that the expected number of deaths by august had gone down from 100,000 to 60,000.....the US just passed 60,000 confirmed deaths from coronavirus today, and it is not august. deaths encompassing pneumonias with or without a confirmed coronavirus diagnosis are also severely elevated compared to what we should be expecting at this time of year, and it has to be assumed that this is because of coronavirus involvement that has not yet been confirmed by a test at time of death. the mortality rate based on the US numbers for coronavirus is also much higher than mortality rate for influenza. this is all data from the CDC, updated today.
if you're just looking for lower death numbers then great, i'm all for it, but again, the lower death numbers are because of the measures that have been taken. it doesn't change the obscene severity or fatality risk that coronavirus possesses. in other words, it doesn't make sense to be using the death counts to say 'it's actually not that bad, we should open everything back up again'.
They're losing money because they anticipated a lot of COVID cases that never came in, and by canceling everything else some have gone out of business. All of what they are doing and we are doing was based on doomsday projections that never happened and fear of the unknown. Now that we know more and the numbers didn't pan out, time to adjust.
this is also wrong. hospitals weren't expecting to make money off of coronavirus lmfao. hospital networks profit most off of outpatient visits and elective procedures. inpatient hospitalizations are quite costly and are often detrimental to the bottom line. most hospitals knew they'd be operating at a net loss when they shut down all elective procedures and nearly all outpatient visits in order to better be able to deal with the coronavirus pandemic, but that's what needed to be done. to say that hospitals are losing money because they weren't hitting the coronavirus numbers they were expecting to hit is shitty in more ways than one
i'd like to state that i'm not here to argue about whether the stay-at-home orders should be lifted or not. as i've said before economics is not my area of strength, and i have to admit that i do worry about the ramifications on people and the economy that this all has. i didn't read all of your posts, but from the ones that i saw, the reasons you gave to justify re-opening everything back up were factually wrong
-
Uhhh this sounds a little too optimistic
https://www.google.com/amp/s/profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/05/02/extremely-small-chance-that-there-will-be-no-nfl-season-in-2020/amp/
The TLDR is its "extremely probable" there's a full nfl season with fans in the stadiums.
-
The NBA season was basically over when this all started.
The NFL is going to do everything they can to start the season in October with empty stadiums.
NBA is easier to play because there are so many fewer players. I think they could get back to playing faster than most sports, but it depends how much they want to push back next season.
The article DCM just posted is optimistic, but it's not crazy. Testing is the No. 1 thing that needs to happen. When players and coaches can get tests as often as necessary, teams and players could return to action.
But like DCM said in his long post above, all it takes is one player to get a false negative or someone somehow gets it between the test and coming in contact with others.

I believe the point was them putting pressure on vendors and 3rd parties to not freak over fans.
Which is them doing a service to the fans (while ultimately being about their own self interest in wanting to sell their tickets)

Have a nice cry.
The "old white men" narrative is getting dated. The older people now are less racist than these 20 somethings in the streets yelling about race. We came up on the heels of the civil rights era, after MLK. We quote his words because they made sense, people lived by them and we made a good 40 years of progress.
WE GAVE YOU OBAMA!
We did. Fact. Whether you liked him or not isn't the point.

i will try to say this in as nice a way as possible; you need to change your mind. you as a white man are not experiencing racism nor are you being racially victimized when encountering a person or a group of people that disagree with your thoughts on the current state of race relations within the country.
moreover, the fact that you're invoking MLK quotes or may have been around during the civil rights era (how old were you then/are you now?) does not give you the right to act self-righteous/all-knowing in the arena of race relations.

2-I said my generation came up AFTER the civil rights era, I was born in 1967. It's 2020, people over 50 are now people who grew up in the era between MLK and Obama, we weren't the "old white men" blocking school houses or spraying fire hoses.
3-I am not acting "all knowing", just giving you guys a little perspective on history which you are clearly lacking.
If you guys want to keep going on pretending the whole civil rights movement never happened, that's on you. A black man who got the excrement kicked out of him in 1965 just had a massive state ceremony for his funeral. But we've made no progress, right? Whose generation do you think got us there? And who is trying to take us back? The more people make race an issue the more it is an issue.

Back to the purpose of this thread. Assuming that somehow a full season is played, what do you think will be the biggest difference of the actual gameplay?
My gut feeling is the best teams will be those who have strong running games.
I'm not sure if it'll be teams with old school power running games or cutesy college option style run games. But I think that'll just be determined by who stocks their rosters right.
Baltimore might be the scariest team in the league though. Lamar Jackson could destroy last seasons numbers playing against defenses with backups all over the field.

Judging by European soccer and MLB, the games will probably be pretty normal with empty seats or cutouts and decorations in the stands. For the Jets the empty stadium will look normal by mid to late November.

I think dcm's point is the number of skill position players opting out could influence the way the game is played temporarily. I don't think MLB has an analogous situation.

Uhm...
You do know Mosley isn't playing this year right?
And yes guys get injured every year.
Presumably injuries will be worse this year because of poor training/camps/conditioning etc
And in addition to that we should basically a revolving door at positions all over the field.
I think the game will be played in a way like none of us have seen before, and none of us will see again

I don't think that enough have opted out to make a material difference. I think the final list was about 70 players, over 10% of which were on the Patriots, and plenty of whom were if not scrubs then not exactly players whose presence dictates gameplan. I think Seafood's right, it's just next man up.

It's not about the optouts
It's about the logistics of football, the sizes of rosters, the lack of camps/practices, not operating within a bubble. Meaning that we're almost certainly going to see a chunk of guys out each week.
At the absolute minimum you'd have to think this entire offseason getting scrapped will have a significant impact on offensive chemistry.
Do we not see it every year where defenses are typically ahead of offenses early in the preseason?
-
I think teams with a lot of continuity will be in better shape.
I was really optimistic our defense could take a big step forward because it was most of the same guys. Then Adams and Mosley peaced out. It's still most of the same guys, but the top-end talent isn't there anymore unless some of the young DL take big steps forward.

If Quinnen Williams takes the next step, our defense should too. Jabari Zuniga is an X-Factor too.
I'm mostly concerned about the corners.
McDougald/Maye/Davis should be fine at safety.

Is there reason to be excited about Zuniga this year? I remember reading his upside is prime Calvin Pace. Now that’s a damn good player who we could definitely use, but he won’t be that guy year 1 for sure. I just envision a guy that’s gets 3-4 sacks 5 or so TFLs and a few QB pressures. Now granted that might be astounding production for the Jets, but it doesn’t exactly scream future pass rush demon

Zuniga is a chess piece in the front seven. He can play every DL spot in any front (even NT in some looks) and he can stand up as a true 3-4 OLB.
I expect Gregg to use him as an interior pass rusher early on.

Definitely didn't expect you to bring up Zuniga as the X-factor. To me, Ashtyn Davis is an X-factor as someone who can play corner and safety in nickel/dime packages and provide some speed on the back end.
I think we have a number of defensive linemen who flashed last year. Shepherd and Foley both took huge leaps in year 2. Maybe they can take another leap this year. Quinnen didn't flash a ton, but he was banged up and he did help our run defense. Year 2 needs to be a big leap for him. Even Kyle Phillips was productive as a rookie.
-
I'm a huge fan of Kyle Phillips. He does a lot of dirty work and does it well. He's not afraid to take on double teams and pulling linemen.
-
Definitely didn't expect you to bring up Zuniga as the X-factor.
A healthy Jabari Zuniga is dangerous against interior offensive linemen. He's deceptively powerful and quick off the snap.
I really wanted Marlon Davidson on this team, but Zuniga can do a lot of the same things.

Also factor in the overseas market that they're trying to grow - for example they just announced a dedicated NFL channel on Sky Sports in the UK - and the fact that lots of those overseas broadcasters would have a significant problem with the NFL switching games to slots that conflict with other high profile broadcasts like soccer. It's hard to see it happening, because any gains they might make from the additional broadcast slots would be offset by the headaches it would cause.

Well I don't know anything about the EU channels for football, but are the games mostly watched live? I know when games here are played over there it's typically at like 630 am pst/930 ET.
And on Sundays when there's numerous games in the same time slot, are they all played on TV in Europe? Or just a single game?
The college football thing is interesting, but at this point even that being totally or almost totally canceled is a real possibility
But you make a good point and I guess right now it's pretty unlikely for anything drastic to happen at this time. But hopefully the league gets concerned and offers some kind of discounted/unique ways to watch as the quality and uncertainty of the product is definitely in question
Hell I'd be thrilled if they made nfl gamepass free for the season and made the games include commercials.
I think that's a somewhat satisfying compromise

A 1pm game here is 6pm in the UK and 7pm in Germany, the two biggest markets for the NFL in Europe. On a Saturday that would clash with primetime soccer in both countries. If the NFL took up full college slots then they could be kicking off games at noon on Saturday which would be 5pm / 6pm, which is worse.

Moving games off of Sunday would make the package better. One of the reasons I dropped it was all the games are on at the same time, so you pay for them all and can't possibly watch them all. Being local to NY I'm watching the Jets for free, usually at 1:00, and most of the package goes to waste. Good thing about the other sports packages is that you get games day and night for months at all different times.

The NFL will consult an advisory committee made up of former coaches, GMs and players on such issues as postponing, moving or even canceling games this season due to the pandemic.

Probably not. But there's gotta be some crazy fanboi compilation of who said what to the media and interviewers.
I'd imagine you'd be able to come up with a probable answer for a large number of players.
And who knows. With this forfeit stuff maybe excrement gets leaked to put pressure on players (albeit I'd also imagine this is a HIPPA violation that could stir up legal issues)

I don't know that teams would be subject to HIPAA, most employers aren't. But I don't know if NFL teams are considered healthcare providers, I can see how they might be but my guess is that the actual healthcare side of things is probably outsourced with the teams only owning the physiotherapy / athletic training piece. They're already disclosing players' medical information publicly in the form of injury reports, so if they do have HIPAA obligations it may be that players have to wave their rights as part of the NFL contract.

You appear to be completely correct
I had no idea about that. Kinda crazy an employer has no obligation to protect your private health information. The injury and waiver thing I kinda understand due to the nature of the nfl and competitiveness (ie if you could hide injuries teams would have an incentive to spy on the health of your players etc)
But one would think that the league would shame players for not getting vaccinated if that was a viable option for them

Alaska was the first state in the country to open up vaccines to everyone and they did so on March 10th
Other states didn't start until March 29th, and only very few of them did
March 29
Some States Open Vaccinations to All Adults
Kansas, Louisiana, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma and Texas announce they are expanding vaccine eligibility to all adults, while Minnesota, Indiana, and South Carolina are expected to follow suit later in the week. Nearly all 50 states have pledged to expand eligibility to all adults by May 1.
So it's possible, but fairly unlikely that many of the nfl players were fully vaccinated by the time of the nfl draft
Unless they had special hookups. Which is entirely possible especially ZW
Otherwise you'd have to have lived in one of the first states in the country that offered the vaccine, be one of the first to get it. And even then you'd barely make it

Vaccine centers in DC were allowing people to show up around closing and get the vaccine if they prepped more than they wound up using. He could have received it like that if they were doing it in Utah.

There were only 15-20 players there. I imagine it's not beyond the corporate muscle of the NFL to make some calls and get any player they wanted in attendance vaccinated outside of any stated government policies and without them needing to line up with the hoi polloi.
The optics of a player attending the draft and then subsequently going full Beasley aren't good, and if there's one thing we know about the NFL it's that nothing happens without it first being examined from the perspective of Protect The Shield.

If it was football season sure I could understand this
But why would the NFL go out of its way to get early access to vaccines 6 months before the start of the football season?
And then to give them to guy's who aren't even contracted in the NFL?
Sure I can understand why the nfl would want to get high-profile rookies to the draft to increase viewers and make monies
But I'd have to imagine the risk of blowback and controversy of getting caught giving vaccines to 21 year olds for a glorified photo op while hundreds of thousands of people have died from the disease makes a pretty treacherous risk vs reward profile

He's definitely in the very high risk category, so he absolutely should be all over any freaking jackass player that could literally kill him

Just when you thought Cole Beasley couldn't be any more of a knob:

Also special mention for the Bills putting it out on their official club Twitter account and therefore by definition endorsing his thinly veiled conspiracy tropes.

Still refusing to wear a mask properly. What a piece of excrement.

I will never understand this rhetoric about how it's a personal matter and I'm going to do what's best for me.
It's actually not a personal matter. It's a communal matter. Your actions effect every single person around you. If you don't want to abide by the community recommendations than deal with consequences. In this case strict rules to keep the community and more importantly business safe.

My decision to drive drunk is a personal matter and the government shouldn't tell me what to do with my body

Consuming alcohol isn't putting a possibly dangerous chemical into your body whose effects might not show for years to come!

That’s right! It’s effects are much more readily visible

I wonder if these guys get paid for every exposure related missed game

NFL says that 93% of players and >99% of coaches are now vaccinated.

Quarterbacks, the smartest guys on the team.

That's so dumb I almost can't believe it's not satire.

There's been no double blind clinical trials proving beyond a statistically significant margin that an nfl player, on the football field can transmit the Coronavirus!!!
What the hell are these scientists doing anyway?

I'm going to go out on a limb and think some kind of mandatory quarantines go into effect for the nfl playoffs.
And I also imagine teams strongly contemplate sitting/forfeiting the last week of the season because of the outbreak/uptick
-
Pretty wild that not a single player has gotten covid this year
A little hyperbole, but I honestly don’t remember seeing many cases and can’t think of any specifically off the top of my head.
A stark contrast from a couple years ago.
I wonder what changed?

No testing, right?

What if Zach Wilson and Mike LaFleur have COVID brain fog?

Testing is my guess
Plus players are mostly vaccinated so when they do get it they probably don't even know
