Multiple members of Ravens org test positive for Covid

I know. I just hate them. South Park can blame Canada. I blame Tennessee.

 

Well, either 1) Game is postponed until Sunday, 2) Ratbirds put a B team on the field on Thursday night, or 3) If outbreak gets much bigger, Forfeit.
#3 ain’t happening. Because of television money lost, #1, though possible, will be done as a last resort. By process of elimination, I think #2 is the most like likely outcome.
It is a terrible situation and I hope everyone comes out OK, but it may work to the Steelers advantage, as they may play a weakened opponent or get extra days to heal up from the Jags and prepare for the Rats.

 

I find it crazy that league wide these Covid tests always come to light on Monday morning. You going to sit there and tell me these folks weren't positive yesterday?

 

The raisins were definitely negative yesterday.

 

I think Marlon Humphreys was the one that tested positive the Monday after the game four weeks ago.

 

Should help Pittsburgh

 

Edwards is pretty decent back in his own right

 

It'll be interesting to see if any other players will be put on the list because of close contact. Got to think there has to be a few.

 

That's exactly what I'm thinking.

Should be very interesting to see how the day unfolds.

 

We weren't able to stop him either last game.

 

True, but there's a difference in preparing for a feature back and preparing for a committee of change of pace backs. It also impacts their packages and blocking schemes. It limits the offense. There are plays and formations that are better suited to Ingram and Dobbins that they will lose access to. It definitely doesn't make them one dimensional, but it makes them more predictable.

 

I'd rather have Ingram and Dobbins. Edwards always seems to do well vs the Steelers

 

Ok, that’s a legitimately big loss for Baltimore

 

Steelers players should be extra vigilant this week. Treat all Ravens players like they're positive, who knows how many people in that locker room may have it.

 

That is a good point. I could see that happening.

 

But wait, don't we run worse against depleted units? One could say we run down to the level of our opponents.

 

Good counterpoint. So I'll say HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

 

Unless there is a mass positive and contact list for Ravens the game will be played. NO WAY on the biggest football night in America (and at this moment in America with everyone home) will they want to move this high profile game.

 

He was already injured and might have missed the game anyway. I do wonder if the will have Campbell back from his calf injury.

 

Hairball probably doing this on purpose so he has all his guys healthy for this game when it gets delayed to end of year.

Because right now his team is lost.

 

There’s no way the NFL and NBC are turning away the Brinks truck by delaying this. That said, we are in a no win situation. Play them and we expose our players to the virus. Beat them and people will say we didn’t beat their best. Lose to them and people will say we lost to the B team.
