Re: NFL Off Topic

Reporting with @FieldYates: The Patriots will be canceling their Friday practice after a positive COVID-19 test, per a source. There is also a second test they are awaiting to confirm is a positive.

If the game could not be played Sunday, the NFL would be presented with its toughest scheduling challenge to date. Both teams, the Patriots and Broncos, had their byes last weekend and bye flexibility is gone. https://t.co/HMCsLPbd8l

Re: NFL Off Topic

What do you think it will take?

I think the most they will do is a postponement. Figure things out and then keep going. But these bandaids aren't working clearly.

Re: NFL Off Topic

I doubt it.

Give me a legitimate reason to believe he won't be successful as the starter on the Chiefs. The dude was the best receiving back in the whole league next to Gurley in 2017, and now he has arguably the best quarterback in the league to go with Andy Reid and an incredible supporting cast instead of a dumpster fire and Adam Gase as his coach

IMO it will take multiple Titans-sized outbreaks, concurrently.

Re: NFL Off Topic

From a fantasy perspective, I honestly wish the season would just die. Injuries, suspensions, not a problem, they happen every year and you need to expect them.

But what's BS is basically needing to expect a player of yours, even though he's completely healthy, won't play because staff on his team got COVID and the game had to be postponed... Imagine if someone loses a championship game because a couple of their key players' game's got postponed or just straight up cancelled.

Don't care one bit about fantasy, and it should not be a concern or factor in whether or not to continue the NFL season, give me a break

Re: NFL Off Topic

Colts had one player and three staff members with troubling initial tests, but all four came back as false positives after the rerun, per sources.

Bengals at Colts, Sunday, 1 pm.

What type of labs is the NFL continuing to use that can't run a test correctly? Then if the lab keeps screwing up, can you even trust the 2nd run that said they were false positives? Hopefully they are doing separate tests and sending them to a different lab to confirm instead of having the same lab test the sample again.

Kind of sounds like you might not understand or appreciate the volume and scale of testing being performed.

Re: NFL Off Topic

I see where you're coming from. And I totally get it. But personal I don't give a flying f about fantasy. Especially with lives on the line. And the potential for spreading to others. I totally get it. The quality of the product isn't amazing right now. But this world turns ugly when "my fantasy" is involved.

In the grand scheme of things i completely agree. And plus, i dont even have much money involved anyways AND I'm still in a position to win money too. But with how random and inconsistent things are ATM, I wish fantasy seasons would just shut down. I can't imagine the outcry towards the NFL and ESPN/Yahoo/NFL.com if a couple games get postponed/cancelled on week 16 and mess up championship games.

Because this is the second time you have come in this thread just to complain about the effect Covid has had on your fantasy football. Gain a little perspective

The size and volume is relatively small for the amount of tests being performed, it's <100 per team. The false positive % is supposed to be very low for these tests, but we may not know the real % because the average person isn't going to be tested again with the same sample.

The issue is they are rerunning the same sample again. So how is the test returning positive? Either it's in the small % of false positives or the labs continue to screw up. You wouldn't be seeing multiple people on the same team have false positives on the same day if it was just test failures. The chance multiple tests return false positives is probably extremely small.

If these tests are really false positives, then the labs continue to screw up.

He took one year off completely without taking any beating to his body at all. He's not your typical 28 year old running back. His ability is still similar to what it's been in the past, the Jets are just morons who don't know how to use him correctly

This is my territory lol. I'm the one usually fighting for these old backs. But think with. It's more of a wait and see in my opinion. He hasn't been health in my opinion.
