None of them have thought of that.


They need to insert several bye weeks throughout the season for covid teams to make up games on.

The NFL can always stretch out the season if necessary. They could move the playoffs back a week if need be.

They certainly need to avoid replacing scheduled games with covid games. It will create a domino effect, and will end up being a shitshow disaster.

They need a general plan that covers everyone, not just the Titan's/Steelers.

.

As a fan of the Chiefs, with the hope they don't get COVID, you really don't want that. Sitting for 2 weeks wouldn't be a great thing, IMO.

They can insert a makeup week after week 13/14. That way all the teams that had covid can play their makeup games, and the teams that didn't can have a bye.

It will also allow the 1 seed to play several games going into the playoffs.

It sucks, but this is the kind of thing that was likely to happen and they signed up for it. It's a weird season and teams that can be flexibly and always changing will be the successful ones.

It'll work out.

It's nuts we're actually playing a full 16 game season.

Should have just cut it short and allowed more teams in the playoffs.

Whatever

I imagine the NFL is also trying to send a message. Mlb was kind of a shit show but the marlins and Indians fiasco made this thing real. And after that all teams seemed to do an excellent job and mlb season went on without a hitch. The clevinger and plesac incident in particular should be a warning that consequences not only extend to teams, they extend to players too.

Prolonging the schedule for some outdoor playing teams only increases the possibility of terrible weather conditions. Like us. The AFCCG was January 20th last year.

Would have been interesting if this had happened next week when Buffalo has to go to Tennessee. Does it mean Buffalo gets a 10 day break before hosting KC on TNF with a huge disadvantage to KC being both the road team and on a four day schedule?

Yep, just push the season out. Don’t cancel.

They an always use indoor stadiums that aren't going to be utilized or play in the south.

Just put these teams in certain cities and have 'em play double-headers like the mLB! :)

you can try and plan but there is no way to prevent one team from getting a competitive advantage. Shits going to happen this year.
