In hindsight, NFL should have done 8 weeks, full week off, 8 more weeks, full week off, playoffs start.

Then hope a team doesn't have 2 games cancelled in the same 8 week period.

Uh oh. Cam Newton tests positive. No more huddles for him for a while.

There's no way this season lasts much longer... Right?

[NTP66]

What’s their threshold for when a game is rescheduled? Newton’s sitting, but what if another player or staff gets sick?

[mikey]

Relax...NFL we're talking about here...it would need to get much worse...

[NTP66]

The NFL will find a way to blame concussions and such on covid years later after future lawsuits.

[willeyeam]

This is just what happened in the MLB. People are going to get it, let's see how the protocols work. MLB's worked pretty well after the first outbreak

[NTP66]

I get that, I was just asking what their protocol actually was, because I don’t know.

[willeyeam]

That was more in response to shad

[mikey]

Mine as well...

No matter what happens, sports MUST go on. Athletes are healthy young people. They will be fine.

[NTP66]

Oops, my bad then.

Poe's Law violation, post by offsides at 12:31pm.

I may be guilty, but what is a Poe's Law violation?

I may be guilty, but what is a Poe's Law violation?

I had to look it up...

Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture stating that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views so obviously exaggerated that it cannot be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of the views being parodied.

[PFiDC]

Also, what a time to be alive when the words Adage and Internet are used together like this.

Thanks. I guess that means I should have added an emoji to the post.

Now saying positive tests for players on chiefs and pats; league still going with the “we’ll play Monday or Tuesday” nonsense that worked out well with the Steelers game.

[Beveridge]

The practice squad guy for Chiefs was Newton this week to prepare. Most dedicated practice squad player ever.

[Orlando Penguin]

And then they retested him and it came back negative.

Is Jarvis Landry the best left-handed QB in the NFL

Mayfield wouldn't have made that throw.

[blackjack68]

Lots of interesting scores in the early going.

[tifosi77]

Dak Prescott's second TD...... not sure if amaze throw, or bad decision that should've been picked off.

[shafnutz05]

Cowboys defense is SO bad
