I hope Omicron is mild…I know it’s TBD…
The last I checked, if it was in a most kills match against Aaron Hernandez it'd be going into overtime

Nothing wrong with looking like Soulfly3 in the Josh Gordon thread.Sooooooooo, all those "no chance" posts kinda looking like me in the Josh Gordon thread right now
I think this is BS to be honest. So what happens now if Raiders players tests positive on Sunday?
Good point. Is there any "chatter" that the now Tuesday games could be cancelled if nothing changes till then?For now, moving to Monday or Tuesday is a relief. This is obviously terrible timing being the first week of a lot of fantasy playoffs.
I cant imagine the grief the Commish's will get if games are not played this week
Tell me about it. How we got to this point is a total clusterfudge, but if the end result is that we get two straight days of NFL doubleheaders -- especially on days where my wife and kids will be at my mother-in-law's and I will be "working from home" at a time where there's nothing going on at work -- well, sign me up for that.Doesn't get much better than settling in on the couch on a Monday night for Brows-Raiders followed by Vikings-Bears.
yes that’s equivalent to what happened here.I’m sure the Chargers would have liked to have last night’s game moved back a few days so that they could have their starting LT Rashawn Slater in the lineup

This is what I'm wondering, considering i have 2 defenses and both now play on Tues! (PHI/LA)Good point. Is there any "chatter" that the now Tuesday games could be cancelled if nothing changes till then?
Agreed. They opened up a whole can of worms here.IMO it’s too subjective. How many players have to be out with Covid to move the game? Does it count more if they are starters?
So it’s about quantity over quality?yes that’s equivalent to what happened here.
Which is exactly why this is an absolutely abhorrent display of leadership. They set very clear guidelines and rules going into the season. They should have stuck to them. Instead, at the first sign of a little adversity, they cave and start changing things with very little rhyme or reason. Terrible display.IMO it’s too subjective. How many players have to be out with Covid to move the game? Does it count more if they are starters?
My question is what are FF commissioners going to do if one or more games are not played this week? It seems like anyone starting a player on one of these 6 teams is risking a zero.
What I wanted to do was have teams in the playoffs list contingency players if any player’s game is cancelled but we have some owners who are sticklers to the rules as they are written at the start of the season.My league has a rule, where if a game is not played all players from that game that are in the FF starting lineup get 50 points. ers -
Kidding, of course, but maybe there is something to that concept... 5 points? 10 points? The player's season average? The next best score from the bench? The average of all players on the bench for the applicable position? Big fat 0?
and KC get Jones, etc as well....I’m sure the Chargers would have liked to have last night’s game moved back a few days so that they could have their starting LT Rashawn Slater in the lineup
That doesnt answer the question.Teams get smarter and players take social distancing more seriously when it's playoff time.
I dont know.did anyone test positive last year during the playoffs?
Bingo.I dont know.
Maybe they just wont test in the playoffs.....
I have a commissioner (I’m in three of his leagues) allowing us to post “If I had know, I’d have started player x…” posts so long as it’s done before both players’ game. For example, something like “I intend to start Josh Jacobs, but if his game is canceled and/or he has Covid, I’d have started rhamondre Stevenson.” This is legit provided the post is made to the league before Stevenson plays.My league has a rule, where if a game is not played all players from that game that are in the FF starting lineup get 50 points. ers -

I have several leagues with a standing rule like this....it happens FAR FAR less often then you'd expect, and is much easier to enforce/manage then you think. After several years with this rule I can honestly say in no league has it been used more then 3 or 4 times in a given season, and provides a TON of peace of mind to owners.I have a commissioner (I’m in three of his leagues) allowing us to post “If I had know, I’d have started player x…” posts so long as it’s done before both players’ game.

Lotta work for the commish in theory policing it but I found it a nice and reasonable idea.
some have reported that the forfeit rule was for outbreaks among unvaccinated players, therefore it may not apply.I just saw a report that said a few more players were added to Cleveland's COVID list including Clowney. If The Browns can't get anyone, or let's say just a couple of players,off the list by gametime Monday,would The NFL cancel the game and move it later in the season? The Browns are currently scheduled to play next Saturday,Christmas Day. I assume the game was pushed back so Cleveland could get more time to get more players eligible. What if they don't? Another query,The Raiders are saying The Browns should have forfeited the game based on the rules that were in place. Do they have a legitimate argument and do they have any recourse before Monday? So many questions,so few answers.
