As I too posted....other than the obvious 'money' reason....

I think we are all old enough to understand money talks. Here is the pivot point though, IMO. The game is scheduled for Tuesday, the day after tomorrow, 2 days away. 22 players have tested positive with 2 testing positive just this morning. This is still an ongoing outbreak. Cancel the damn game. Add it back on at the end of the season IF it even makes a difference for playoff seeding. It can then be played on NBC in primetime. I don't understand why the risk here is less than the reward there.

Add Willie Snead to the Clovid List. I think that’s 7-8 offensive starters?

I wholeheartedly agree: postpone this game.

Matthew Judon just tested positive. There are something like 22 Ravens players who have the ‘rona. Speaking from an ego-centric standpoint: I’d be scared to play against them (for fear of losing Steelers players for the next two weeks). On a more altruistic scale: how can they let a team so depleted take the field???

One last thing: as I have avered repeatedly, the NFL should have postponed this game already... so that the Steelers players could have taken the past week off.

Play the damn game.

I think the Ravens should have to forfeit the next game they make another team wait for. They've used up all their good fortune.

As much as I want to play this game this highlighted quoted part is why I agree, just postpone it.

Run up a quick 4 score lead in the first quarter against a team that can barely field starters, then get all of your '1s' off of the field. Call up a bunch of PS / grocery-bagger types off of the street, give 'em a hat and let them be 'Rona sponges for the remaining 3 quarters, keeping the starters healthy for another week.

All kidding aside, even playing this game on Tuesday has me nervous. Baltimore is turning into a walking petri dish with all of their infections. Leave it to those jackasses to play the game, lose by 5 touchdowns and still manage to screw the Steelers with infections for the remainder of the season.

Even though this game will be an absolute curb-stomping given the loss of talent on Baltimore's roster, I'd breathe a sigh of relief if the game gets postponed.

Yes.

We talkin bout practice???

[HollywoodSteel]

Bad weather only helps the Ravens as randomness is an equalizer.

I wish something would go right. I just want this game over with already.

[vasteeler]

Heck yeah, snow game...bring it.

Need “The Bus” for that.

The selfish part of me wants to see the game. The "what's in the best interest of the team" part of me thinks the bye would serve them better. I'm talking in football terms alone and leaving the virus out of it. Obviously, I don't want to see anyone sick, but it is what it is.

I'm tired being tired about the rescheduling.

The NFL needs to be consistent and have some balls. Right now, they are making a mockery of how to have a REAL plan and how to run a professional sports league.

New Steelers fan? They don’t make anything easy...especially against the Ravens...lol.

RELAX Tube....it’s not going to get any better.

[86WARD]

Ravens players still have not been informed about travel plans for Pittsburgh. Also heard a report on the radio that there are grumbling a that the Ravens players may be refusing to play Tuesday?

[DesertSteel]

Schefter is now reporting the game is being moved to Wednesday! This is getting ridiculous.

[hwalker84]

Game moved to Wednesday per Schefter...

[86WARD]

Saying that the Washington game would be moved to Monday night.

[DesertSteel]

Maybe they can just play the game on Zoom?

[Rotorhead]

WTF, so we get to play back to back games, at this rate we will be playing Sunday then Monday

[st33lersguy]

So the nfl will bend over backwards to ensure the rats are adequately prepared for this game like a pampering mother spoiling a bratty child but the Broncos don't have a qb and the NFL decides to take a not my problem approach

Would it be better to beat the Ravens and have a dozen Steelers infected and miss 2 games?
