NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[Stakesarehigh]

Yeah...I don't know why he replied as though you have claimed Haskins would be successful in the NFL.

I was surprised he didn't come back and didn't think he was ready. Worked out because osu got a better qb (for osu) but I think a year with Day as coach would've helped him.

Not saying he would've been a stud then but he'd be further along imo.

I don't think he will ever win a pro bowl. Would love to be proved wrong.

congrats to @bksballer89 ?

Handful of Tennessee players/staff tested positive for Covid and facility is closed until saturday. No word on if their game with steelers will be postponed yet (that I have heard).

 

[dtgold88]

Why are you making that assumption?

I just restated his comment in another way because others I have talked to (not here) assume that Haskins can read the field because of his success at OSU.

Totally different ball game. And I think he was rarely in situations with complex reads in college because his guys were always open.

Pretty sure most know OSU QBs have it easier than many QBs because of exceptional OL and targets. Just like Oklahoma and other elite offensive programs (and/or who face awful defenses).

They can't even practice until Saturday. Unless they allow them to practice off site

For what?

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Right...thinking if can still practice somewhere they'll play. If not, that one gets postponed.

seems like Covid issues get you excited.

Just messing with ya.

Well i said the nfl should be in good shape due to daily testing but who knows what players are doing in their free time

That's always been the concern with bubble-less leagues. But MLB got to the playoffs even though supposedly they had "no chance".

Hopefully, the bubbles in MLB starting with the division series (or do they start at LCS) work as well as the NBA. Admittedly, selfishly I only care as long as the Tribe is alive.

What a bunch of boneheads.

Because in past he seemed to get giddy when any team loses players to Covid and MIGHT have a game or games postponed.

 

[dtgold88]

have they said how they got infected?

My guess is that they were irresponsible. They are only hurting their team.

Not gonna say that was how without knowing, but does seem like that was often the case in MLB.

 

[bksballer89]

Only took until week 4 but this nfl season about to become a shit show unless the NFL fix this problem

congrats? Still think "no chance" MLB finishes?

all seriousness, seems like an easy solution.....make the playoffs in bubble cities and add 2 weeks to schedule for makeup games if needed.

Hopefully, it will be a wake up call like the Marlins appear to have been for MLB. So far, the NFL has only had to postpone 2 games. If it was going to happen (and it always was going to happen) it's better that it happen now than week 12 or 14 or something when they might actually have to cancel games that could effect playoff eligibility and division championships.
