Tomorrows Steeler and Ravens game moved to Sunday...no Tuesday... no Wednesday

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

The Ravens were already reeling out of the playoff race, and now they'll be without Lamar Jackson for 2 games.

Have to admit that its somewhat suspicious that only 1 player is testing positive during each passing day... The team hasn't practiced this week. So if there was a super-spread event, you would think that these players would all be testing positive on the same day.

Quick question... Why was it fine for the NFL to allow the games when the 49ers had to field their practice squad on TNF & then the Raiders had their entire O-line on COVID list?

Where's the consistency here?

Not to mention... Why did they even implement the expansion of the practice squads & eligibilities for it if they are just going to reschedule games instead?

They rolled the dice, it came up 14, 14 on the chart says move the game 3 days. They have been very consistent with adhering to what the random dice rolls tell them to do.

Now Tuesday Night

Now Tuesday Night

and their next TNF game would have to be moved as well? Or are they really going to make the Ravens play twice in 3 days lol?

Will take it.

We got the Giants at home.

But they'll want a big time marquee game...

Probably either Cleveland vs Tennessee or Arizona vs Rams

ESPN's Adam Schefter said the Ravens-Steelers Week 12 game has been moved from Sunday to Tuesday.​

We could be on the cusp of our first COVID-related NFL forfeit if these teams can't manage to play by Tuesday. The Ravens have been ravaged by COVID-19 over the past week. They'll be without Lamar Jackson, J.K. Dobbins, and Mark Ingram, among other players, if Baltimore can play the Steelers on Tuesday. Fantasy managers will have to take calculated risks with their Steelers and Ravens players, just as managers did early in the season with the postponed Bills-Titans game.

Well, they are only playing the Cowboys...so maybe...

Just cancel it already and yes the team I am playing in fantasy football has Ben as his QB and Winston as his backup

I just do not see how they can cancel it, given the impact on competitive integrity.

How do you reconcile potential playoff spots and positioning at the end of the season with two teams involved having played one less game than everyone else?

Because 2020

Steelers Ravens to play tuesday
Cowboys Ravens to play on following Monday

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Willie Snead tested positive yesterday. 8th consecutive day of positive tests for Baltimore.

Begs the question... What now? Positive cases haven't slowed & the game is tomorrow. This is different than what the Broncos just endured. Positive cases still coming in this close to kickoff puts the players' safety at risk.

After 2 reschedulings they may be looking at outright cancelling this game.

Ravens personnel that have tested positive:
OLB Matthew Judon
TE Mark Andrews
OL D.J. Fluker
OLB Jaylon Ferguson
G Will Holden
DT Broderick Washington
CB Khalil Dorsey (IR)
CB Tavon Young (IR)
QB Lamar Jackson
FB Patrick Ricard
DE Justin Madubuike
LS Morgan Cox
DE Calais Campbell
RB Mark Ingram
RB J.K. Dobbins
OLB Pernell McPhee
OL Matt Skura
OL Patrick Mekari
DE Jihad Ward
QB Trace McSorley

High risk close contacts:
NT Brandon Williams

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Steelers personnel that tested positive:
RB James Conner
Coach (ST) Danny Smith
Coach (Ass Ofns) Matt Canada

High risk close contacts:
DE Stephon Tuitt
DL Isaiah Buggs
OT (backup) Jerald Hawkins

It's 50/50 right now. They will NOT reschedule it. It will be cancelled and they will have to make due with a 15 game standing. The Steelers are 10-0 and look like a sure playoff contender. The raven, on the other hand could get knocked out with a cancellation. Worse for them is that they've lost some pretty miserable tiebreaker scenarios. If the game is cancelled, the automatic 16 team playoff thing kicks in. It also might kill the bye week and the week off before the Superbowl. Three cancellations will end the season.

7/11 projected starters on Baltimore's offense have tested positive...

 

[molsaniceman]

The NFL cancelled the Ravens' Monday practice ahead of their Tuesday game against the Steelers.​

Baltimore hasn't practiced for nine days while they grapple with a full-blown COVID-19 outbreak. The team could have as many as 23 players on the reserve/COVID-19 list headed into their Tuesday night contest. They will be without offensive weapons Lamar Jackson, Mark Andrews, Mark Ingram, Willie Snead, and J.K. Dobbins. If the game is played -- and somehow, it appears it will be played -- Robert Griffin III will quarterback a largely second team offense against one of the NFL's best defenses

Really sucks if the 16-team playoff kicks in... That takes away the 1st round bye for the Steelers.

That said... I would be outraged if they play this game and then the Steelers suffer an outbreak.
