2020 season guesses

Did she quarantine for a few weeks? Players would have to also to keep from spreading their cooties? It could get shut down when more players get infected & not enough to field a team. Say Cincy gets a spike & 3/4 of the team gets positive, do they forfeit games for a few weeks?

 

Bye Felecia

 

Off topic, but how would you feel about housing me while I play a couple golf courses down your way? Asking for a friend!

 

Lol. Cmon down. Lots of Steelers fans in my plan. Bring beer.

 

MLB
Players will undergo COVID-19 testing upon arrival, then begin workouts if they test negative. Players, coaches and support staff will be tested for COVID-19 every other day during training camps, the regular season and postseason

That will be 900 tests every 2 days; that seems crazy. One false positive and you are shutdown?

 

Steeler/cowboy hall of fame game cancelled till 2021:

She did quarantine but was in same house as my brother-in-law and she lives around corner from me and I was in house also. Nothing happened to either of us but I did not get tested. Very confusing to me how the hell this will play out. My luck the BUCS will be a shocker and have a great record and then they will shut down.

Wish the Steelers would have won the last SB. There is a possibility they could have held the title for more then a year. The Chiefs could be champs for a long time if things go south.

 

Never saw this many draft picks unsigned this late in the off season, covid has really messed everything in the NFL up:

Bucs being a shocker...I see the fanatic in you, lol.

My nephew came over about a month ago, got into everything & told us his work buddy has the covid infection...

Anyway I was feeling bad the next weekend (dehydrated due to FL humidity)
& went & got tested. Negative results for both me & my nephew.

 

It's hard to nail down with Ben's recovery. If he's fully healthy, we're probably 12-4 or 11-5; if he's 60% of his old self, we're probably 10-6; if we're looking at Mason and company, I'd go with 8-8. The defense will keep them in most games.

 

what do you think they will do if they say no fans?
Refund the money in full I assume?

 

I read somewhere either refund or credit to next year.

 

Steelers sent me an e-mail a while back (5-6 weeks ago) and said if no fans weren't allowed to attend. They would either offer a refund on season tickets purchased or just use what was paid for a Credit toward 2021 season tickets.

I'd probably just use it as a credit if no 2020 season and we aren't allowed to go to games.

 

I think the Steelers will be somewhere between 9-7 and 12-4 assuming a full season and a ‘normal’ level of injuries. I am hopeful Ben will be fine.

Looking at the projected Steelers starters I don’t see a glaring weakness anywhere, the depth at certain positions is not great however, safety in particular. They have good continuity from last year also, Hargrave being the only key departure. That could be important with the shortened pre season and the likelihood of at least some preseason games being cancelled.

PFF has them at no. 10 in terms of roster strength if that is of any relevance.

If Covid is still rampant I don’t see how a season can go ahead. Even with no fans at games you could potentially have situations where whole position groups gets sick together. Imagine if 3-4 of your starting OLine get Covid from each other and are missing for several weeks, it would be reckless to put Ben or any other QB behind a makeshift line in order to fulfil fixtures. Even with a regular testing programme players are going to get it and possibly give it to other players.

 

I hope they do play but keep in mind that some players may opt out to protect they families from the COVID-19. They are doing it in the MLB and some are very notable names.

 

The depth at ILB is worrisome, and no backup at FS.

 

Cardinal owner Michael Bidwill has covid 19.....

I still think Mark Barron comes back on a 1 year cheap deal.
