These schedule changes are going to start penalizing teams that have done everything correctly in regards to COVID and don't have any infections. At some point, I think the league has start imposing forfeits on teams that have outbreaks, especially if they can trace the breakout to a violation of protocols by said teams or if there are repeated outbreaks. It's not fair to the teams that have everything right and have no positive tests. The NFL might have to put the league in a bubble later in the season in order to finish it.

Winners and losers of league's reshuffling...
Los Angeles Chargers
The Chargers probably aren't too upset with all the scheduling changes and that's because they now have a Week 6 bye. The reason that's a big deal is because the Chargers are playing a Monday night road game against the Saints in Week 5. Instead of flying home from New Orleans and being forced to play on short rest in Week 6, the Chargers now get a bye. Under the old schedule, the Chargers had a Week 10 bye with a game in Week 6 (vs. Jets), but now they'll be able to take it easy after their game in New Orleans.
Again, at some point the league is going to have to issue forfeits, they can't continue to reshuffle the schedule.

Problem is, when is it fair to do forfeits? The Titans and Patriots get over...but when we get a covid outbreak, we have to forfeit, because they have run out of fixes? Should have been forfeits from the start...maybe the Titans would have complied with the regs...Originally posted by Velo View PostWinners and losers of league's reshuffling...

Agree. Rearranging the whole schedule to accommodate a team that actually broke the rules is beyond silly.Originally posted by Lone Bolt View Post
having said that, this is a good time for a bye week for the ChargersComment

NFL is gonna try to avoid forfeits. Forfeits translate to lost revenue. I've heard that they have contingencies in place which include pushing the Super Bowl back a few weeks. They're the 800 pound gorilla. Everybody can react to them. They don't give a shit about moving the Super Bowl to the third week of February. Plus, it's not like previous years. The Super Bowl is already gonna be much less of an event than normal.
But the league is driven by money. Lost games mean lost money. So they will play the games. Just follow the money.Comment

With 11 or 12 starters out this is a gift for the Chargers. How many injured do we get healthy in the next two weeks?Comment

Melvin Ingram, Ira Turner, should be back and Bosa can rest up a heal up and get closer to 100%, .Originally posted by PORTERPARTY1 View Post
Bryan Bulaga hopefully but with a back injury it is hard to say, Cliff Harris I believe his injury was 4-6 week, Ekler elgible to be back in 2 more weeks but I think he may be out a little longerComment
