Short of luring GM John Elway out of retirement, it sets up as the most unexpected NFL scene of 2020. Broncos have no QBs for a game against the Saints. https://t.co/ig4knEI9vQ
Oh how the mighty have fallen. 5 years ago when the Donkeys were the NFL's darling, they would have forced the Saints to bench all their QBs to even the competitive advantage. Now the Ravens get their game bumped but lowly Denver is screwed. [Reply]
I would love to see the offense Reid would run if this happened to the Chiefs. I think I'd be more excited to watch that wizardry than any other game in years. [Reply]

That said, it is kind of shitty that teams who contain it get punished while those who have don't get their games postponed. Kind of is what it is, but wouldn't blame Broncos fans for being pissed.
Unless everyone lives outdoors they're not "containing" an airborne pathogen. Aerosols spread 30 feet (there's no 6 foot force field) and a mask isn't going to stop a virus unless it has a filter and a valve. The studies are conclusive on the mask bullshit. Masks make people do stupid things (hang out in rooms with no air circulation) and can be hazardous (if you believe in science and you're 80 years old or high-risk never stand to to the side of somebody wearing one of these fucking surgical masks).

Its really a lesson in how difficult it is to stop an organization from collapsing when it starts to slide. Look at the examples in the NFL of teams that can't seem to get out of their own way. The "old" ways don't seem to work anymore, the deck seems stacked against them, the quality talent doesn't come your way etc etc.
Even though I don't like John Elway or the Brown Cows, its still "sad" in the same way as watching a train wreck, you just can't stop marveling at it [Reply]

Train wreck exhibit 1 The Chiefs circa 2010, 11 and 12. The Peeholi years. As far as I'm concerned the Bronco's haven't suffered enough. :-) [Reply]

WTF is this wheres your proof BS :-)
You think I know or claiming to have Bronco people in the front office that I know or something? That must be a DC thing.
But more than one nationally respected reporters are saying
they all didn't wear a mask around a person who tested positive.
They took off their tracking braces all the time, Maybe wore it 10% of the time.
