Maybe the NFL needs a 1 to 2 week hiatus here before things get out of hand. If they're struggling to figure out how to fit certain teams' games in while positive tests emerge on a daily basis, maybe they just need a short break to reiterate protocol and get this under control before trying to do anything else.

Saints vs Chargers game on Monday night could be moved to Indianapolis because of Hurricane Delta which is supposed to hit Louisiana over the weekend.

Agreed with this - it only seems to be getting worse from here. There's also a lot of pictures showing affected players very much in the personal space of other players. More positive tests incoming you'd suspect.

Jets player has tested positive for the virus, so staff & other players have been sent home, can only be a positive for the awful Jets.

Titans shut down facilities again after a coach tests positive for COVID. 24 total positive tests for the Titans now

Also:

Although New England had no new positive tests and was able to practice yesterday, today the NFL is shutting down the Patriots, facility, according to ESPN.

The NFL is postponing the #Patriots-Broncos game after the latest positive COVID-19 test in New England.

Details on new date shortly. Both teams will now have a Week 5 bye.

Crazy how all this has been sorted. Should have planned a 20 week season with 4 byes.

in a weird way it could be a good thing for the patriots because they're more likely to have newton available.

I was expecting Kansas to walk all over the Raiders but that hasn’t been the case. Game is tied 24-24 at halftime. Been a good game so far.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #57132 on:** October 11, 2020, 08:00:09 pm »

the raiders seem to be playing like the chiefs on offense. and it's working.

MBL? · « **Reply #57133 on:** October 11, 2020, 08:40:32 pm »

Eagles back in the game despite more injuries. Would be a huge win if we can pull it off.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #57134 on:** October 11, 2020, 08:48:00 pm »

falcons games look so bad.

the lighting, the look of the playing surface and the fact they're going mono-black these days. it's offensive on my eyes every time they show a clip of one of their games.

MBL? · « **Reply #57135 on:** October 11, 2020, 08:49:40 pm »

Another terrible call against the stealers.

coverage by the raiders has looked good. just seemingly given mahomes nothing to throw at

With my limited knowledge I didn’t think the Raiders defense would be able to handle Mahomes. Like you said, they’ve been very good. Looks like they’ll go on to win this.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #57138 on:** October 11, 2020, 09:14:22 pm »

nobody thought the raiders D would be able to handle them. I've no idea what was said at half time but it's worked beyond anyone's wildest dreams.

Ray K · « **Reply #57139 on:** October 11, 2020, 09:15:08 pm »

Chiefs are 16 points down with 4 mins left. Which probably means they'll only win by 7 or so.

dalarr · « **Reply #57140 on:** October 11, 2020, 09:20:09 pm »

I should edit my post. Watch Mahomes turn it around now.

Raiders win 40-32 at the Chiefs!! First defeat for them in 13 games over playoffs & 2019/20 regular season (336 days).

A pretty much perfect performance by the Raiders in the 2nd half, only allowed 1 TD.

Opens the AFC West up a little more now & the Raiders have done well to get to 3-2 with a pretty tough start (NO, Car, NE, Buf & KC).

With the extended playoffs this season, I think they have a pretty good chance of post-season for the 1st time in several years.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #57142 on:** October 11, 2020, 09:46:28 pm »

I saw the chiefs schedule the other day and it's not difficult!

Nice to see a RB bounce over the line from a yard again. Until it got mentioned the other day I hadn't realised it had fallen out of fashion so much.

Cowboys are pathetic

Ray K · « **Reply #57144 on:** October 11, 2020, 09:56:38 pm »

Dan Quinn's been fired by the Falcons. About 15 months too late I'd say.

Ray K · « **Reply #57145 on:** October 11, 2020, 10:34:50 pm »

Not sure if Jimmy Garopplo or Ryan Fitzpatrick is doing most for the Dolphins as QB today.

jimmy g has been benched for cj who gets beat hard.

quite funny king doing that summing up of what's happened today. it's been quite eventful all in all.

Looked like potentially a bad injury for Dak Prescott

Looked like his foot was facing the wrong way. Didn't look good.

he's gone for the season, looked horrendous

He's in a contract year too

Fiasco · « **Reply #57152 on:** October 11, 2020, 11:45:16 pm »

Fuck me, no idea how he could just sit there like he'd grazed his knee. Adrenaline, I suppose.

Best wishes to him. Nasty, nasty injury that.

Crying his eyes out, looks like he might be out for a long time at least.

Ray K · « **Reply #57154 on:** October 12, 2020, 01:06:58 am »

That sucks for Dak, I really like the guy. Hope it doesn't screw him over on his contract, but you know Jerry Jones...

Just read it's a compound fracture, so that's the worst possibly injury. Urgh.

I kind of love it. Like a Michael Mann film or something.

By the way best team in the NFL is Seahawks at the moment, by a mile too.

Statto Red · « **Reply #57158 on:** October 12, 2020, 07:29:36 am »

Pretty dumb by the Vikings not to go for the FG, even though it was 4th & 1, & they converted a few 4th downs in the game, they'd have had an 8 point lead, Seahawks needing a TD & 2 point conversion to take it into overtime.

Bizarre, back in the day (i`m talking the eighties) they had a simple algorithm where the teams that did better had a more difficult schedule than the team that did poorly). Not sure how the Chiefs get an easier schedule than the Raiders

I have to say I did not see this win coming. Great offence, we got a couple of players back and a defence that`s limited sticking to a good gameplan. Apparently we also generated the most or second most pressures on Mahomes ever too. Which is another surprise.
