I’d honestly look at playing only in division games

Doing regional bubbles, perhaps.  

I dunno.  Games are supposed to start in 6 weeks - can’t see it.

It’s a shame cause the nfl had the most time to get this right.  

As it stands, zero % chance this season happens if they just ‘move ahead w the current covid plan’

I (a guy who that probably doesn't have .005% of the information needed to even opine about this) would have done 8 regional bubbles of 4 teams split into 2 conferences. 6 games per region with games played every 14 days. Conference A plays even weeks, Conference B plays odd weeks. 8 Team playoff at a single bubble. 

I think that was the best possibly feasible solution. Although I'm fairly certain now that the NFL season was doomed from the get go. Not only just because of the US's response to the pandemic, but we've already seen in other sports that there are 20 something year olds that simply won't maintain quarantine (and it's hard to really blame them). There are other players that are high-risk, have families to worry about or for whom the risks don't outweigh the potential benefits. 

They might still find a way to play football (and I really hope they do), but this season will have a very large asterisk next to it, at least in my mind.
