Looks like we might be short on the D line if we play Tuesday.
Internet claims more positive Steelers COVID announcements coming today.
Week 18...here we come!
James Conner tested positive.
This all just sucks!
The Steelers were doing such a good job up until now. These guys are making enough money that they could totally lock their lives down and just go to work and back and have things delivered.
Why would any of them put a historical season in jeopardy? I know it’s hard, but damn. Wear a damn mask!

Get ready for some Benny Snell football.
I’m not going to say “I told you so”, because pandemic disease is, well, a fricking pandemic disease. It’s highly contagious and unless you hole up in a cabin 50 miles from the nearest road, you can reduce your chances of being exposed but you cannot eliminate it 100%. As I said in the Ravens Sucks thread, it is what it is. It’s 2020.
well shit
Looks like its time to show Steeler nation why McFarland was drafted .
We may be getting to a point where the NFL shuts down for a week or two.
It was just reported that the 49ers are going to need to find a place to play their next two home games with Santa Clara County announcing that no pro or college sports teams are able to have games or practices for the next three weeks.
Also, a bubble may be needed come playoff time, looking at Dallas and LA.
I guess Benny Snell gets that trial run as the starter?
And they can totally do that. What is to stop them? There are ZERO sports to compete with for the foreseeable future on TV. Like the networks are gonna find something better to air in January and February?
In MojoUW's fantasy world of logic and reason...there would have already been 2-3 extra bye weeks built in. As well as a contingency "bubble" plan. Set up a few locations in each region of the country. Call them something clever like East, West, North, South. Have a version for just the playoffs. Have another version for a 2 weeks quarantine shutdown and then pivot to the "bubble" for the regular season.
Just have the plans on paper. Set up a liaison office/hotline between the league management contingency planners and the teams. Hold weekly briefings. Each team has a "point person" who is charge of COVID contingency communications with the league. For instance, for the Steelers this could be Omar Khan. Then the league and teams can stay up to date and coordinated for current realities and potential future scenarios.
But...I guess just stubbornly refusing to change anything from the normal schedule and way of doing things is also a path.
The NFL should have just let EVERY fucking player catch it in pre-season, that way just like the Chicken Pox they would all be immune to it now. When I was a kid and someone had the Chicken Pox in our neighborhood you wanted every 7 year old to be exposed to it. Because it was better to catch Chicken Pox as a 7 year old where the survival rate (just like COVID) was ridiculously high. Healthy 20 something NFL athletes are going to feel sick for a few days (if any) and be over this.
Funny how you don't hear a thing about "the second wave" in Sweden. The country everyone said was crazy for protecting their vulnerable population and allowing herd immunity in the rest.
