Nice call. 

He'll still be there in spirit. Sucks what happened to him. The Bengals really need to invest in an O line to protect that dude.

That's wonderful. Maybe he'll lead them to a moral victory.

Why can't the league just dissolve the Jets franchise and replace them with a bye week, saving everyone the trouble of travel?

Broncos are in trouble and I'm not even sure of a solution.

All of their eligible QB's are on the Covid list because of contact with someone that was massless and had it. But on the flip side, because of the Covid rules in the NFL, they can't just bring someone in to play as the rules state their is a quarantine period after a team signs someone.....I think it's 5 days while the game is set to be played tomorrow.

Blake Bortles too?   Jason Mendoza will be devastated.

Former Duck RB Royce Freeman could start as Broncos quarterback

I was going to post that Freeman would probably be the best QB out of Oregon since Dan Fouts but I didn't want to pile on to the Chargers fans

I'm not even sure what you mean here. The Chargers keep losing games, that's kind of their thing, but Herbert has been great.

For old timers like myself, harkens back to when Colts’ QB’s Johnny Unitas and Gary Cuozzo were both injured, and RB Tom Matte was pressed into duty as their QB in the last reg season game of 1965 against the Rams and also against the Packers in a 1965 post-season game.

Don Shula wrote down the plays on Matte’s wristband so he wouldn’t forget them.   They only lost to the eventual NFL champs in the post-season game by a 13-10 score.

I don't know how it could when you seem quite content with Phillip Rivers, Jr

Rivers will most likely end up in the HOF so again I'm not sure what your point is

49ers have got a problem.

Probably makes a bit more sense to put in a guy that played qb in college. 

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

Denver should have just forfeited.

Did you happen to catch that scintillating 3 play 1 yard drive that lead to the 58 yard FG? That's Broncos football 2020 in a nutshell. Brandon McManus for MVP!

Tough end to the chargers game if you had them to cover

[Tank]

not sure why the NFL wouldn't delay the broncos game by a couple of days after delaying the steelers/ravens game for a few days.

They didn't delay Devner's game to send a message which is the same reason they're still planning to have Pitt/Baltimore play tomorrow night.  Denver's QB's all came in on an off day sitting around without masks on and didn't social distance while one of the back up QB's there had tested positive already.  Baltimore also ignored or broke protocols and as of yesterday had 20 players/coaches who tested positive.  The league already tweaked Pitt's schedule earlier in the year for the Tenn outbreak so the only way to make up the game if they don't play this week would be in week 18.  If outbreaks get bad enough the league has said they're willing to have a week 18 to make up games but they shouldn't simply be doing it to benefit teams that couldn't follow protocols.

okay, but they still decided to delay one team's game while not delaying the other team's game. maybe i'm missing something, but it seems like one team was punished and the other team was given leniency.
