does it count as wearing a mask if they are all wearing them around their chins
To be fair that’s almost as effective as the face shields they allow coaches to wear.

The more you kick against the pricks, the more you suffer.
Did the Broncos really *have* quarterbacks before, though?

I don't think that counts as close contact unless they are sitting all together instead of 6 feet apart though but would love an answer. When this happened to the raiders it turned out just nobody was wearing a mask inside the facilities, hence the mil dollar fine and the 6th round draft pick forfeiture.

PFT says they weren't wearing masks

I mean it could be worse for the Broncos if they would actually followed through on this, which I will believe would happen once it actually happens to a bunch of large boys:

Imagine playing with no offensive linemen. Just lining up your practice squad running backs and poo poo along the line.

Rescheduled to the Steelers bye week and they made someone else play them on the originally scheduled day. They lost their bye and it's part of why they're all whiny about this Ravens thing happening now, since this would have been a mini-bye for them. Now they are going on Tuesday (if the game happens) and turning right back around again.

Why can't the Broncos just sign some free agent journeyman QB? Is there a cutoff window each week/at a certain point in the season, where players can only come from the practice squad?

I think there is a 10 day waiting period when you sign with a team to where you can actually participate in practice and play.

Any free agent QB wouldn’t pass the COVID restrictions to play in less than 24 hrs

They also added holes to the faceshield after week 1, because at the very least Reid's shield kept fogging up. Making them arguably even more useless.

Fire Vic Fangio if he doesn't call play action on their first offensive play imo.

Niners probably end up at the old Chargers stadium. I mean the one in Carson, but I think they should be forced to play in a half-standing Qualcomm so football historians will have a sufficiently dystopian photograph to describe the 2020 season.

Though to be fair, they had 98 yards of offense... and 17 net passing

Fun fact I forgot to point out in that post, the Texans' only offensive score was a field goal after a -5 yard drive (Pittsburgh had muffed a punt)

So even when the offense succeeded it was literally only because the Steelers put them in a place where they couldn't help but get at least 3

The Ravens game keeps getting pushed back and the Broncos can’t even field a QB because they didn’t wear masks.

That’s got to be worth a sixth rounder at least.
