The NFL has 2 teams struggling with Covid right now. One the NFL forced to jam a bunch of close contacts to a recent positive in a plane together and then stuffed them in a small locker room despite that team’s request for a larger locker room. The other consistently ignored Covid protocols and continued to meet together despite having a bunch of positives and being ordered not to.
While I do agree with you that the NFL has handled this terribly and that their plan from the beginning was garbage, almost all teams have managed to keep this thing at bay so far. IMO, the NFL likely caused the issue in NE by not postponing the Chiefs game, but the Titans issues are wholly on themselves.
But it certainly is a joke that they didn’t create mini bubbles, didn’t build in more byes, didn’t make other schedule adjustments, didn’t account for most predictable situations, etc. Goodell should lose his job over his terrible leadership through this.
