I'm going to be watching regardless, and I was going to see if the Ravings could beat the Squealers later. Will have to wait until Sunday though. The Chiefs could beat the Steelers either at Arrowhead or Heinz. They just have too many weapons and possible inside intel from LeVeon Bell.

But that ain't happening so the next best thing would be.....since the Redskins and Cowboys played today and each play the Steelers and Ravens next weekend......Schedule the Steelers vs the Redskins this Tuesday night, and then the Ravens vs Cowboys this coming Wednesday, then move the Steelers vs Ravens to Monday Dec7th.

Steelers get a few extra days off
Ravens get a chance to get their shit together
Redskins and Cowboys get (almost) and extra bye week

The NFL got lucky on this one. This is the easiest, simplest, and most fair solution.

Was too dejected to look at solutions, good thinking. All it takes is one person being a careless, inconsiderate a-hole to mess things up for everybody. I've seen a lot of ugly things said between Ravens & especially Steelers fans this week; some really uncalled for trolling. So it is really refreshing to see this post. 

The Steelers have every right to be pissed but I do think it's below the Steelers players to publicly complain about it. It's not the Ravens players' fault. "Allegedly", current Ravens strength & conditioning coach Steve Saunders (ex Steelers coach) went rogue, no contact tracer and infected players during workouts. Sometimes it takes positive tests days to show up and everybody's scrambling.

Aside from all the football problems this caused, I'm really just hoping that the players' families are okay. I don't want to see anything happen to somebody's mom or grandparents. My bet would be they find a way to reschedule the game and take away a draft pick or two from us. Who knows though, more cases could surface tomorrow.

The cause of this is unacceptable in the Cov-19 world. All employees should have been trained and used a zero tolerance policy, you violate the rules, you are fired whether staff, coach or player.

The moron strength coach put the lives of thousands in jeopardy. The mere fact he is still employed to me tells the NFL all they need to know, huge fines and loss of top 3 draft pick in 2021 at a minimum. Otherwise, other teams will pull the same crap.

It was raiders who lost 6th round pick. Ravens have already been fined once, so this next penalty should be extreme. They obviously did not learn from be penalized already.

Wouldn't read too much into him not being fired though. I believe he's on leave so it's not like the organization is keeping him, he'll be gone. Ravens players are rightfully angry that he put them and their families in jeopardy. They'd probably punch him if he showed his face in there.

The big argument I keep seeing around here is how much of it is Harbaugh's fault. Some think he's 100% responsible for not being strict enough. Others think it's impossible to police everything, especially the weight room, and it's all on the strength coach. I don't have an opinion because we're not close enough to really know. And all the info coming out in the future will be spun. Just seems like a ton of speculation. But as usual, people are angry and opinionated and think they know what goes on inside The Castle. 

Have any thoughts Luvnit2 or anybody else? Would you blame your coach or is this part of playing football in a pandemic and one meathead strength coach just messed up really bad?

I was heavy at wide receiver (and basically busted on my top 2 picks Zeke and Kenyan Drake) so I packaged a couple of them for Miles Sanders & Amari Cooper. I figured I could roll with Cooper and Tee Higgins. Also traded Tyler Lockett for Burrow. I started Burrow last week, and lost by 4 points. Higgins didn't have a catch after the injury either. I figure this week I'll lose by my guy taking a knee at the 1 to kill clock. Literally my worst year ever.
