For as well as the NBA and the UFC have managed the COVID situation, the NFL seems to be equally as bad at it.

NBA and UFC didn't have thousands of players they could cram into a little bubble. The challenges keeping thousands of players virus-free are much more severe in this sport.

Adam Silver got lucky that he has a league with small rosters where the regular season was all but over when the season was postponed.

The scheduling problems though are 100% on the NFL and their corrupt media partners. There is no excuse not to have additional bye weeks for postponed games.

Another positive test for the Pats. Game postponed to next Sunday.

And it looks like the Pats are technically now in their "bye week" which was originally scheduled for next week.

Lol what a mess.

Titans also had another positive so it's possible their game against BUF on Tuesday night wouldn't happen either.

They're gonna keep having "bye" weeks if there's more covid positive results. Roger Goodell, a joke of a commish.

The NFL should have split the season into segments. 1st segment lasts 8 weeks and all teams play all 6 of their divisional games.  So basically there are 8 little bubbles of 4 teams each.  These are the most important games so get them out of the way first.

Next segment teams play their 6 conference games, last segment they play their 4 non-conference games.  So everything is nicely compartmentalized with extra bye weeks between each segment.

 And because of the symmetrical way the Divisions play each other -  for instance the AFC East plays the NFC West this year -  It is a lot easier to keep the teams who are playing one another on the same page  in case of an infection.

 So they could have effectively played  the entire season with a series of mini bubbles.

 They could have also used the strategy to basically lengthen the season and Put more games on national television, raising revenue.

Far too clever for the NFL to even consider something like this ;D

Feels like the pats season is already off the rails.

Why not just tank now? This season is meaningless anyway.

What's the record for the most field goals in a single game? I feel like the Broncos are gonna break it.

This is pathetic. Held to 3 points so far? Newton with two picks. Ugh.

Considering that the season might not even finish, and the fact that they're about to fall to 2-3, I'm all for them tanking. Saddest part is, they may not have to try to tank; it might just happen naturally.

Great, they went for the 2-point conversion when the didn't yet have to, and failed. So it's still a two-possession game.

Wow, Drew Lock with back 2 back interceptions. Patriots with a chance to win the game?

They have a chance, which is shocking.

What good is it having a running QB if he's just gonna stand in the pocket and take sacks?
