It's getting worse and worse. The NFL is now dancing on a knife edge trying to get these games in. To the point now where there will be a game played during my Wednesday team meeting. That will be weird.
I can't imagine it's going to improve much the last few weeks. NFL will be lucky to finish the year.
My prediction was the season would be done on Thanksgiving, this may signal the end of the season. That Denver game, why? Put a fork and an asterisk in 2020.
Very surprised they have not implemented a bubble, but hard with such large teams. I think it will happen for the playoffs...they won't want a Super Bowl with starting QBs held out.
TV money is driving most of this - the network paid the NFL for the Broncos game, regardless of who played QB.
The NFL Salary cap is frozen between 175 mil and 198 mil until 2023.
I wonder if the NFL and NFLPA will consider having nationally televised games on Tuesday and Wednesday nights as a way to recoup the lost salary cap funds.
Wrapping a Tuesday or Wednesday night game around and NFL team BYE in 2021 is one way they could do it.
