Got to get those boosters in arms. League needs to bring in medical folks with shots ready to go

It’s a little scary how we navigated last year decently and now this is happening.

Behind the scenes the league and the union have to be scrambling. Imagine the playoffs with a bunch of stars sitting due to covid, or how about a SB played with a bunch of backups. They need to do something asap.

In two days this went from “interesting” to a big fucking problem

Shout out to Ron logic

The league is going to have to change it's Covid policy. Otherwise how do you play competitive games? Every winter this is going to be an issue.

As we know, even if you're vaccinated, you can still test positive. For most people who are young and in good shape like NFL players, they'll probably not even experience any symptoms. So let those that are vaccinated and asymptomatic play.

I think the optics would be bad. I don’t know how I feel about just letting them play

Time to let vaccinated asymptomatic guys play. Otherwise this season is going to turn ugly really quick.

I would go even further than this, but this is definitely a start.

What's the alternative at this point?

Stop testing vaccinated players?

I don't know what else they can do other than those two options.

It’s a cluster effer…I think restarting covid procedures from last year immediately…boosters in arms.

Maybe implement another bye week to reset

Mike Jones thinks one reason for the spread is that vaxxed players are only tested once every 2 weeks vs every day. If they were tested everyday, youd catch cases a lot quicker and they wouldnt spread like wildfire to whole units.

The seahawks test their vaxxed players every few days. That is an owner and organization that gets it. Competent decision making. Attention to detail with one goal - win games.

Apparently the NFLPA wanted every day testing for vaxxed or unvaxxed.

Its the new normal, do the best you can under the circumstances.

This could easily be done if they had a vaccine mandate in the league. And before anyone bitches about this, they have mandated drug testing, so yes, this could have easily happened.

I hope we have a Blaine Gabbert vs. Brian Hoyer Super Bowl. I'm sure anti-vaxxer idiots are going to be screaming for players to be vaccinated.
