DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Tailgate Forum What if the season is canceled?

.

At best, I expect the season will be delayed and shortened.... or, if played, played without fans.

Now that would be a strange day indeed.

Peradventure if Pigs will fly on that day too

I don't expect things to get rolling til late August. 10 or 12 game season is best case scenario. If the NFL is faced with playing without fans, it could be shortened further. A lot may depend on the fine print in the TV contracts.

China has a population of 1.8 billion and only 3247 deaths as of today. That translates to an extremely small less than .0002% of their population. Clueless much? The season if anyone had a brain should go on as usual. But the gutless wonders that run the Leagues, Government and Businesses due to legal issues are shutting things down for a tiny segment of the population.

Let the games go on

That's if you believe China's numbers.

Here's the bottom line. When very few people have access to the test, you won't have a lot of confirmed cases. The more people you test, the more cases you will find.

Tests are just now beginning to become more readily available. The case number will be rising rapidly.

True on tests. However deaths are finite figures.

Do you believe Ohio figures 88 cases, 0 deaths out of 11.75 million people.

Do you believe California figures? 17 deaths out of 39.95 million people.

I can't post what I believe in response to your posts without getting banned.

You want to see what happens when this thing isn't handled right? Look at Italy.

We're going to be just like Italy; right after Spain, France, and Germany get there.


As for China, you will see them bloom again as soon as they begin to relax the strict lockdowns they implemented. I feel there is little chance that they keep the full-on lockdown going until they have zero unresolved cases, and that is really their only hope - anyone's hope - of clearing this.

People can be thick. They think that our nation lives in a bubble and refuse to look at the world. There are examples to look at if people would only open their eyes. And the fact that some refuse will cause the death count to rise among us all.

I’m a community nurse. I hope like hell people are being smarter than ‘Newfan2020’. I have to go visit people in their homes, retirement communities, and nursing homes. I don’t want to be a vector. People with flippant attitudes put me at risk along with those I serve.

And as a front line worker I can attest, we don’t have the proper protective equipment available to us. Not at my company, or many others. If, when, this thing explodes in the Portland metro area I’m going to be taking live fire.

This isn’t some hoax, or conspiracy, or just a flu, yada yada. This is my life.

My sincerest hopes and prayers go out to you and several people I know in the healthcare field.

j/c

That doesn't jive with the official numbers.

p.s. This will be getting moved as it really isn't 'Pure Football' anymore.

What if those people in Iran didn't die from COVID-19, but rather were executed by the Iranian regime?

j/c:

I think ignoring the one dude might be wise.

To keep it about football, I agree w/Purp that the season will probably be delayed. It might be shortened, but there is a lot of money at stake and they could very easily extend the season into March if they had to.

Lets look at Italy too. Their population is 60.4 million and they have as of a few hours ago 3408 deaths. That breaks down to .0056% of their population.

I know these facts dispute your fake outrage and hysteria but thats me. Facts are facts. Too bad it doesnt support your opinion

Just because people are testing positive for the Corona doesnt mean anything. Football season may be delayed but it shouldnt be. The number of deaths vs the population size is a non issue. People die from more things at a higher percentange than this virus. Heck the normal flu has killed 20000 people way more than this. Sean Payton was just diagnosed

...and the death rate is growing by the day. Your "facts" only hold water if the fatalities stop today...and they are doing nothing of the kind, they are increasing not only by the day, but also in numbers per day. Are you just going to sit back and wait until they reach some number in which you finally admit that there's a problem, and then say "my bad"?


In response to your other post, yes...you are ignorant, troll.

And even though they are increasing by the day they aren't even close to approaching .10% of the population. This would have to go on for a year. LOL

.10% of the population (1 per thousand) dying from this is your benchmark to consider it a problem?....and you're laughing? Ignorance is bliss, I guess.

exponential growth is kinda difficult to understand...

here's a video for more insight...

If nothing was done.. and we didn't do a thing to flatten the curve.. which puts far more risk on those who are immunocompromised.

we'd be looking at about 4 million deaths. We as a nation see about 4.2 million deaths a year. This is why maintaining social distancing is such a thing.





This is also pretty informative

Lol, Jfanent! Edited to add ‘troll’!

The fact is currently there is an exponential trend of cases going on in the us.... that's why everyone shut down... if we stick with the current curve we are going to be in serious trouble...

Twice.

I get ya!

Flippin hilarious!!

thanks for the videos. I saw something similar that outlined the effects of it (Imperial College report).

The thought expiriment in the "its okay to be smart" video puts things into perspective real quick...


"If you had a pond, and in this pond you had lilly pads where they doubled each night

It takes 60 days to fill the entire pond... on what day would the pond be half as full"

The answer is day 59

How much for 1 percent?... the answer is day 54..."



if we look back into the thread... someone was talking about 1 percent of the population.

if this thing hits 1 percent... we're fricken screwed.

OK...that brings up another question. Would they even have a draft next year if the colleges don't have a season? The guys we draft this year will more or less be rookies in 2021, if we even play that season.

If they did, would teams keep the same draft order as is this year? If not, how would it be seeded? Just a lottery of sorts?

That it a depressing thing to consider.

How about we get through March 2020?

And we will go from there.

If it's cancelled the Haslam's will keep my season ticket payment plus the interest earned on it thru next year.

More money to be made for a few at the far end. WE might have a Replacements ball feel, but it would be welcome in whatever degree.

These are difficult times, but not for any without some moral sense. Those would be needing a TV presentation of one sort or the other.

Be well.

Hey, maybe why they gave 1.5 back?


I don't really think that. They have a history of being generous around the community, be it Cleveland or Knoxville.


Virus or not, we are at the age where we could croak for any number of reasons. We might be paying for tickets we never use.

Just saying.


As I tell my kids, when after I die and you see a player on the other team trip up, I did that.

I will be on that field.

What a difference 5 days can make. I hope you weren't the man of the house.

We can always watch the last 20 years of Fantastic Brown’s replays. I’m good.
