The players are going to fine, the majority don't even have symptoms. It's you don't want to test positive because you want to play, not because they're afraid for their health.

In your scenarion, the teams moved up from Sunday to Thursday risk injury.

I just don't see the Players Association signing off on this.

You missed the heavy sarcasm. Yeah, I don’t believe they rearrange the schedule, although if the NFL could they certainly would.

Oh, and if the NFL cared about the risk of injuries, they would t have Thursday games in the first place.

The Ravens may have to adopt these new uniforms for the game.

Their coach is saying that is it if we are to believe him.

As a fellow Canadian, I took the next day off because I don't give a **** about the Kaboys and The Washington Football Team. But I was going to stay up late and get full of Weisers Rye and watch my Steelrs. Then when my hangover subsides on Friday I would go find black Friday deals while the suckers work.
 
Uh... what scrub teams do you expect to be in the playoffs? Cause I'm interested.

Is it the Raiders? Who can score pretty much at will against anyone?

The Bills, who also are offensive juggernauts when firing on all pistons?

The Dolphins, who defensively are just as opportunistic as the Steelers?

Maybe you mean the Colts, who just seem to find ways to win (much like another team I happen to love.)

Perhaps the Titans? Cause THEY suck, right?

Or are you referring to the Chiefs? Which sucky team are you worrying about in the playoffs?

I feel like this will be the ultimate test of science vs. $. When Vance tested positive 5 guys landed on the list and tested out to play vs. The Bungles. So if that same standard is used even in a conservative way and 3 players are considered close contacts that is at the very least 9 more players many I would assume being starters. Because its 3 positives correct? Not 1 positive and 2 contacts.

In this case it is two positives and one contact. I don't know what their limit is that would make them alter a game being played. I think they altered their original approach and are somewhat winging it week to week. Money Vs science. Just so many scenerios. But we know money tops their list.

That puts our players at risk for testing positive and missing games then though.. this game will be played in week 18 and there will be 8 playoff teams now. NBC will still get their game that could still be a big game and NFL gets their 8 teams in the playoffs.

Steelers get screwed yet again.

Actually this is the best time for us to catch Covid. 10 days off before our next game, 10 days on the Covid list. All 5 Day close contacts still get a full week of practice. Raven's can't **** us if they tried!

Also Humphries tested negative for Covid all week. He didn't test positive until Sunday's game the last time. There was no cover up. It's just he Steelers are smarter than the ravens about it now. If you're sick, Tomlin is treating it like Covid. We've had players miss for non covid illness the last 2 games. This is important, because on the off chance they become positive, we'd be screwed like the Ravens on a short week. Give our doctors, trainers and coaching staff some severe props for this strategy.

I agree 100 percent here. Other teams should take notice how to properly handle sick players.

I placed a bet this morning on Steelers -3 1/2. It'll be interesting to see how the line moves after this.

I'd be willing to bet they delay the game until Sunday.
 
Also of note, no change to the status of the game. The game is still on.
