Oddly canceling the game may be best for Ravens. Not only does it give them better chance for playoffs by having 8 teams, it means eliminating toughest remaining game and 10-5 probably gets them in (higher winning percentage than trams that finish 10-6)

I can’t see the NFL forcing a forfeit, but I do think there will be penalties in fines and draft pick(s)

Yep, this makes the most sense

Steelers complaining about lack of a bye week can suck the 2008 Ravens hurricane's bye week.

Not saying it’s going to happen but that is a memo sent out by the NFL at the beginning of October.

Seems to fit our feet pretty damn snug.

I do not know if they can indeed trace this to one singular person how they can justify penalizing the whole team/company. Now if the team disregarded protocol or ignored protocol then this is a likely outcome.

That’s just my two cents

Why Tuesday? Have the ever played a game on Tuesday? Just curious because I know you thought this out

They have already disciplined a coach for not following protocols, not reporting symptoms and using facilities without the proper protection/mask.

They all but admitted that they broke protocols.

Bills/Titans was Tuesday (and their next game vs Chiefs was pushed from Thurs to Mon) Reports are Ravens won’t be allowed into facility until Monday. That’s why I am guessing Tuesday...basically as late as they can postpone and still have game the next week.

Let's add something else to the mix. If game is forfeited both team's players lose a weekly pay check. Why should Steelers lose 1/16 of their salary due to Raven's Covid mess?

Man, I have a feeling that the hammer is coming.

That’s strictly up to the owners. With how old school the Steelers are, I could see them just paying their guys regardless. I bet we would do the same in that scenario.

Exactly!!! I’ve been saying this ever since I heard the Squealies were chirping about us this week.

We were forced to take a week 2 bye, went to the AFCCG (lost to Squealies) while being road warriors in the playoffs.

Until the Squealies deal with that they can blow me.
