Why not shorten the season to 12 games and start in mid-December? Cut out AFC/NFC matchups and end regular season late February, play the Super Bowl the last week of March or 1st week of April.

It's readily hoped we will have a vaccine before the end of 2020, at that point each fan should make an informed decision on whether to attend or not if they are not one of the people vaccinated. 

Getting sick of these games... if its not safe NOW, how is it going to be safe to kickoff in early September when we have done nothing yet to pull a 180?

Id rather have a late shortened season where fans can attend games, as opposed to the turd we will get this fall when every media outlet will be looking for a reason to help cancel the season. 

Id assume 12 games with capacity crowds would create more revenue then 16 games with 0 fans (let's be real, no NFL team will have more then 15,000 at best.). 

There are multiple vaccine candidates in phase 3, odds are at least one or two will work... this BS the NFL is trying to put together at the last second is pointless.

I think the chances we not only have an effective vaccine available by November but distributed and administered to enough people that we could reasonably try to play with fans at full capacity in stadiums is somewhere between 0 and negative 15%. Also the virus is more likely to be more easily spread by then and also will coincide with the start of flu season. It's just a colossally bad idea. Your goal is realistically reserved for the 2021 season and even that's not 100% certain.

A December regular season with 12 games selling 60,000 tickets on average would make more money then a regular season with 16 games with zero fans

 

No legal basis for blocking fan attendence once you have a vaccine.

No it would not.  Probably not even close.  TV contracts are based on 17 weeks of games.  You change that to 12,  no matter how many fans you have in the stands for all 12 games,  it would be less money than a normal 17 week season.  The NFL currently makes more than 5 billion a year for TV deals.  Fans in the stadium help, but TV drives the NFL and all of sports for that matter.

Your thoughts are very wrong about the vaccine chances considering what billionaires and millionaires are betting on.

It's not just about developing the vaccine. It's about producing it and all of the related materials (vials, etc). Lots of money is required for this, but it doesn't magically solve the issue. It'll take time to ramp up the production. Having a widespread vaccine available a year from now would still be a monumental achievement. It'll be emergency use for awhile. The wealthy and powerful will get theirs, then the most vulnerable segments of the population, then widespread availability.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      By PNW_PantherMan · Posted

      As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By frankw · Posted

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
