I have been to 3 Super Bowls - and I can tell you that the players won't even notice.
a bunch of cardboard cutouts have about as much as enthusiasm as the "swells" who show up for that game.
that epic Giants upset over the 18-0 Pats? through 3 quarters, the crowd in Phoenix was roughly as enthusiastic as a preseason contest.
they did buzz a bit, at least, in the last quarter.
conference championships? the atmosphere is off the charts. so THAT would be the weird part, if it comes to this.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

We know from baseball's experience that a ton of players are going to get COVID. The question is whether the league, players and fans care. Unlike with baseball players, no one, including themselves, has ever seemed to have a problem putting NFL players at risk.
The league will indeed do whatever it can to keep the money coming in. I don't expect a 16-game season, but I do expect a 10-ish game season that is shut down once or twice, and a full slate of playoffs. Unless someone of note dies, it will in the end be looked at as an anomaly like the strike/lockout seasons.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.

I voted for 5-10. I really think they're going to try to get as many weeks as they can played. I just don't think they're going to be able to generate all that they aspire to. For that reason, I'll be surprised if they can pull off a post-season."Igor, would you give me a hand with the bags?"

Originally posted by Long John View PostI'd like to believe this is what will end up happening. However, it's not like baseball where if you cancel a series, you can try and make up some of the games later. Imagine not being able to play one of your divisional opponents at home because their team is being quarantined. That puts you at a disadvantage vs. the rest of your division. Cancelling one game has a whole host of ripple effects.

The NFL can schedule a week or even two in between the end of the regular season and the post-season, or even on a bye week between one team and a team that was collateral damage. Not saying they're going to, but they could. With the likelihood of zero fans attending even the post-season game, the logistics of moving these games a week or two isn't as impossible as it was.

"Imagine not being able to play one of your divisional opponents at home because their team is being quarantined."
in 1982 NFL's 9-game season, the champion.... Indigenous Peoples played 7 of their 9 games against division rivals, missing only at Dallas.
as it happened, they didn't play any AFC teams.
the Jets, who went 6-3, played 4 NFC teams and didn't play the Bills even once.
yet the NFL continued to revolve on its axis.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

Originally posted by Long John View PostSuch sacrilege... But then again, didn't they also give the MVP to Mark Moseley that year? Clearly that was a "nothing's sacred" year.

Moseley was the last of the "straight-on" kickers, so younger football fans seeing clips of him will probably be amazed to see him in action.
it doesn't take a physics major to figure out the inefficiency of that style, but he made it work.
ended his career with the Browns when they got to one of those AFC title games that.... dare not be mentioned.
he also was in on the ground floor - no pun intended - of the Five Guys hamburger franchise dynasty.
