Seahawks' request to move back Week 16 game vs. Bears denied

[TwistedHusky]

There is a simple solution.

If the Hawks do not feel they can field a team effectively or risk the health of players because of the lack of recovery time (and the possibility of injury) then forfeit and do not play the game.

The reason our game with the Rams was moved was that the Rams might have to forfeit and if the game is not played the players do not get game checks. So the NFLPA freaked out.

But if we lose to the Rams, then the team should just forfeit the Bears game if they don't have enough people or rest time.

Blame China for the virus and eventual chit storm it is still causing right now in the NFL . 2 seasons of this BS .

Or blame Trump for down playing it.

Nah, that's being too realistic.
The League is GREED DRIVEN, and THAT IS the undisputed the truth.

^ this ^ The players want to be tested every day.

This is some really questionable logic. So you’re saying if the Hawks don’t like it their option is forfeit, if the Rams don’t like it the NFL will reschedule for them.

Sounds like that's what the league is saying. Telling them ahead of time that they won't move the Bears game is pretty lame. What if they get a bunch more cases after playing the LA Covid's?
Funny how people point out something that could actually exist, then get called "conspiracy" types.

 

[TwistedHusky]

No.

I am saying that the reason the Rams were catered to is that the potential forfeit by the Rams and Browns got the NFLPA to push for this as well.

The simple lesson would be that pandering to one team will not remove a forfeit, it will only shift it.

The NFLPA would still see players lose out on game checks. The NFL likely rescheduled to avoid that threat.

Also playing teams on short rest gets people injured. It would be in our best interest to do so if we are losing people to the Covid protocols and expected to turnaround with short recovery time. Just forfeit, as that impacts the NFL bottomline and prevents them from doing this again.

Well, then they game should should have been played yesterday or a forfeit.

Well, then they game should should have been played yesterday or a forfeit.

Even when 4 other Hawks got added to the Covid list? You felt they still should have played yesterday? And I don’t think the Hawks are getting COVID from the LA Covids. You and your conspiracy theories, bro.

The NFL sure is giving all of these “conspiracy theories” legs.
Would love to hear them explain the reasons for not moving the Chicago game back next week after moving the Rams game back this week. Their pretzel logic would be delicious. …..I mean since the NFL claims to be about safety and all…

Would love to answer, but now all the sudden I'm a conspiracy guy. Hilarious. Oh well, seems like it would be ok on a message board to have an opinion w/out being lumped in to some category.

Have at it. For the 755th time, I never said it was a conspiracy. The whole thing just seems too convenient.
It's not like anyone can prove their side, it's all OPINIONS.
