I saw Janikowski kick a 61-yarder to end the half at a Browns game like 12 years ago. It looked like a goddamn mile away, sitting in the Dawg Pound with my frozen Coors. Dude is a beast.

That one was impressive cause the weather.

I think the most impressive was actually a miss off one of the uprights. It was a 64 yarder against the Texans, from where it hit the upright it looked like it would've been good from 70 no problem.

That's slightly more readable if you aren't in the NFC South, but I seriously question his assertion that the whole league version will improve over time.

I remember Houston had one week 2 once because of a hurricane or something.

IIRC there was also that brief period from 1999-2001 where the league only had 31 teams, so somebody had to get a bye week one, and every other team in their division lost, so they technically lead it at 0-0.

issuing a team a loss if they miss a game because of covid would be a pretty powerful incentive to not get covid, although i don't know how you'd handle team-to-team transmission in that case.

Week 12, the Ravens play the Steelers. Ravens contract covid on purpose beforehand and both teams forfeit their next game.

The following week, the Ravens play the Cowboys and the Steelers play the Football Team. Now there's no guarantee that the Ravens would lose to the Cowboys but it is far from a lock for them to win it. Forcing the Steelers to take the L against Washington: worth it?

But they don't

They have bye weeks in weeks 7 (ten) and 8 (pit)

Steelers play the ravens in week 7, ravens have a week 8 bye

League could move steelers - ravens to week 8, ravens bye to week 7

Tennessee and Steelers play week 7, this week (3) is now their bye week

My guess is that their contact tracing is a mess or like Ryan Tannehill has it and they're hoping for a miraculous recovery

You can get false negatives if tested too soon after exposure. Ideally the players and staff would all be quarantined individually and tested multiple times for like 5-10 days.

Give the NFL time to figure out a cockamamie scheme to get the teams to play.

I called Week 4 being the time when positive COVID-19 tests surface. The bigger thing will be Week 5 & seeing who else comes up positive.

It's pretty astounding that an organization like the NFL is still using tests that apparently can throw false positives instead of using PCR tests.

I guess that'd be a lot to deal with but using a test that cannot throw a false positive vs. a test that will throw multiple false positives seems unnecessarily dumb.

Gets the clones out of their tanks. It’s Ryaan Tannehill’s time to print the shirts!

Presumably the NFL wants to see how more tests come back, but as many have mentioned, one week between games makes it nearly impossible to create a realistic plan.
