Terrible..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 11/30/2020 5:06 pm : link
move. Reschedule the game for a different time.
Steelers play  
Jolly Blue Giant : 11/30/2020 5:10 pm : link
Washington on Sunday and Ravens play Cowboys on Monday. Talk about a short week.
Not good ....

WTF vs Steelers on Sunday and
Raven vs Cowboys on Monday

Advantage to our NFC East foes
How can this be happening  
mattlawson : 11/30/2020 5:13 pm : link
This seems unbelievably unfair
Ridiculous.  
AcidTest : 11/30/2020 5:14 pm : link
Reschedule the game. Whoever heard of playing on a Wednesday, and then again the next Sunday, or even Monday?

They'll move the Steelers game to Monday I'd imagine.
And then move subsequent games vs Dal & WA  
HopePhil and Optimistic : 11/30/2020 5:15 pm : link
To the following Tuesday. And then the following week’s games of all involved teams to the following Monday, and then any game scheduled for Thursday to ... nevermind.
Move it to the end of the year,  
smshmth8690 : 11/30/2020 5:15 pm : link
or make Baltimore forfeit. Why are they making all of these accommodations for the Ravens, yet they made Denver play without a QB? Also Pittsburg get's screwed having to play on an even shorter week.
I would expect the NFL to postpone

Steelers/Washington to Monday. Could end up having a MNF triple header next week
...  
26.2 : 11/30/2020 5:17 pm : link
I guess they could reschedule both of next weeks games to Tuesday and the following weeks games to Monday. The Dallas-BAL game was already rescheduled to Monday due to this anyway.
Theyll keep the Ravens Cowboys MNF  
nym172 : 11/30/2020 5:24 pm : link
Thats 4 days rest, more than a TNF week. Theyll move PIT DAL to MNF too, also 4 days rest.

I like it, get to watch all NFC East games.
Let's think about how this affects my fantasy fortunes this week  
Bob from Massachusetts : 11/30/2020 5:26 pm : link
I have the Steelers D, which seems like a pretty good choice this week, but my opponent has Claypool at flex. So should I root for the game to get postponed, or not?
the NFL is really  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 11/30/2020 5:27 pm : link
doing a terrible job with this situation.
Theres going to be 3 Monday night games next week  
nym172 : 11/30/2020 5:27 pm : link
has that ever happened in the history of the nfl?
A few thoughts  
Matt M. : 11/30/2020 5:30 pm : link
1) Why all the concessions and rescheduling for Baltimore?

2) They can't do this without moving both of next week's games until Mon or Tues (I know Dal vs. Bal is already Mon)

3) This only gives our NFC East opponents a fighting chance. Both should still be underdogs next week.
Doesn't seem fair  
gogiants : 11/30/2020 5:34 pm : link
They move the Ravens game three times but made the Broncos play.
They need to not affect competitive balance  
Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 11/30/2020 5:37 pm : link
When accommodating a “sick” team. This is no different than injuries. Sucks but you don’t keep moving games. Everyone knew that you had to be careful.

If I understand this correctly, the big difference is that the Broncos were short at QB, but the Ravens may not be able to field a full team and haven't practiced in a couple of weeks. The Broncos at least had the full 48 guys. The alternative with the Ravens is probably to forfeit and the league really, REALLY doesn't want that, for a bunch of reasons.

I think the difference is that Ravens have had new positives every day, so it's a safety issue. The Broncos "outbreak" was limited. It's a player safety issue, not a personnel issue. So the NFL doesn't actually care how short-handed the Ravens would be in their game, as long as they believe the outbreak has been contained and the two teams can play safely.

The Ravens should be fined &/or docked picks for their handling of this COVID outbreak. A complete joke.
The game is being played at 3:40PM  
Mad Mike : 11/30/2020 10:18 pm : link
because NBC doesn't want to lose the Rockefeller Center tree lighting.

It's because the Ravens kept on getting fresh infections throughout the team. It's as much to do with not exposing the Steelers and Refs to a team with an uncontained active spread of infection than anything else.

The NFL wouldn't care if the Ravens had 20 players out, but they need them to stop getting new infections for two days.

Where they seem to have buckled to the Ravens is that they've moved the schedule to give them the ability to practice, supposedly under threat of a wildcard strike by the Ravens players but that appears to be just rumor.
Ravens probably bluffed  
Mike in NY : 12/1/2020 7:56 am : link
So Dobbins and Ingram would be eligible. League should have conditioned it on nobody ineligible as of Tuesday could play.
