Plan to save the season

Jersey Heel : 8/2/2020 10:52 pm
The Eagles coach now has Covid. Season looks in jeopardy....unless we do something proactive. You know the NBA has the bubble. Let’s do them one better. My plan is to pick a domed stadium. I don’t care which one. The whole NFL lives there. Players, coaches, trainers, etc. No family. No one leaves until the season is over. Film everything. People will go insane. Teams may form gangs. Provide them with insufficient food. Pump shitty music into the speakers. No team gets any practice time. They’ll have to learn the playbook by playing Madden Football. When there’s a game, the remaining 30 teams have to watch and perform the wave once per quarter. Winning teams get more food rations each week.

You won the webz today, bruddah.
This may be just as crazy but what if teams played every other week.

Gives more time for quarantine, more time for a larger roster (which is an inevitability) to practice and learn and keeps the season going.

I truly think that this is going to be worse than baseball and even if the majority of players dont opt out, by mid to late november, when people usually start getting colds, the league will have to either shut down completely or take a major pause.

Team-to-team spread is a worry, but I think the bigger problem is keeping the virus out of each individual team. Too many guys in general, counting staff and trainers, with too many family members. And on top of that, too many guys who aren't used to being rule-followers in their time off, and who are going to want to go out and/or get laid. Basically, they're not going to be willing to live in a bubble for six months.

I think you can have a fantastic system on paper but if guys treat COVID restrictions like they've traditionally treated curfew, this is going to go south in a hurry.

I wish there was a way to put the league in a bubble for a 16-game season, but I don't think it's feasible. Maybe 8 weeks, tops, and then playoffs with about half the teams making the tournament. Maybe you could bubble the playoffs. Maybe. But again, if even a few players on each team cheat on restrictions, it all falls apart.
The best part.

is that the season is in jeopardy because Petersen has COVID!!
I find it hard to

see the season lasting a few weeks if people start catching the virus. The only real position that is a major factor iss the offensive line. If those guys go down then you really can not play the game. You can play with back up QB's or RB's or Wr's and you can always put together a defense if need be. However, if the O Line goes down people will get hurt and that can not happen
I think this idea
