If lobbying works the Steelers better get on the phone to have the game be played Sunday no matter what... because I think it's getting moved again and the Steelers are going to get f***ed out of another week of rest or, worse yet, cancelled and the NFL will go with the horseshit 8-team playoffs with no bye week for the #1 seed.

I think moving this game to Sunday was the obvious and sensible thing to do. Not sure why people are getting so upset over this decision.

And IMO it's better for the Steelers. Historically, there is a higher % of injuries during a Thursday game. Players need rest. Our players need rest.

I was thinking the same thing, other then not getting a full day of football, this one doesn't hurt as much as the last one and they will get more rest.

The only thing that is BS, the team that has the Covid gets a break, whereas the players with it should have to sit out, while the other compliant team gets screwed.

 

[RustyRazor]

I totally get why the Steelers players are pissed. They've spent the week doing prep for a short week. They'd normally have Monday off and instead they had to practice. They'd also get extra rest after the Thursday game and now that's out the window.

I think fans are mostly pissed because it feels like the Ravens are getting a break and that whiny bitch Harbaugh whined and bitched his way to this decision.

I love that it's our f***ing fault the Titans and Ravens had outbreaks. Like f*** that. Forfeit or play with who you have. Unless it's playoffs then I understand.

And let me tell you.. if the Steelers have an outbreak, i say the same thing. Play with who you have or there is a loss.

Exactly. They should have to play with who is healthy.

Man this sucks. It's been a long time since I was looking forward for a primetime game this much. Would have been an amazing Thanksgiving evening.

I hope this lights a fire under their ass and they come out blazing on Sunday. Make it hurt and then let these whiny bitches with a short week to lick their wounds.

 

[Shockmaster]

No fans allowed at Heinz Field this Sunday. Probably going to be that way for the remainder of the season.

 

[Mario_is_BACK!!]

I’m past the thought that the Ravens should forfeit. I now think the Steelers should be spotted 14 points to start the game. f*** that. Fair is fair.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

So when Ben could have had covid, they were going to make us play, yeah?

When these f***ing in Baltimore get it, the game has to be postponed?

Wow.

Wow.

I'm pretty confident League will make good by fining the Ravens at least $1,000 for their transgressions. Lost difference in revenue from Thursday primetime and Sunday afternoon might be more fitting.

Hit 'em where it really hurts, the amount equivalent to the change on the floor of one of Lamar Jackson's ride.

I know it is late, but f*** the Bengals. I knew they were going to get Burrow killed.

That franchise doesn't deserve him.

That franchise doesn't deserve him.

They're aiming at a very high pick this year, so maybe they sign a LT to protect him. It's not like they didn't have an all-Pro LT a while back that they were too cheap to pay and let go.

Mike Brown keeps the Brown family extremely wealthy and the Bengals in perpetual ineptitude.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

how does this screw the Steelers? Those rayvens players that tested positive still have to sit out right?

The shit birds push a game out when the other team was prepping to play the night they were scheduled to, that has ramifications on prep, mental game, etc.

I mean, we all thought the Titans having that same issue would result in the Steelers coming in and destroying them, wasn't the case. It just seems pretty f***ing unfair that the Steelers had no talk of postponing the game when Ben was getting tested, but the Titans and Ravens caused the Steelers to push the game they were expecting to play, out, f***ing up their Bye week, etc.

It's what happens when you land a potential franchise QB and then have a mickey mouse O-Line.

The NFL always screws us. We could have been 10-0.

AND, the new “guidelines” that take effect on capacity at stadiums and such, do so on FRIDAY, thus no fans will be allowed at Sunday’s game that would have been there tomorrow night. Another advantage to the Ravens...

I’m pretty sure those 5k fans weren’t going to be mistaken for the 12th man or anything.

No, but they do make a difference and give some semblance of “home field” advantage...

Ravens punish staff member for conduct surrounding recent COVID-19 outbreak within the team

It's OK, an employee was punished internally. No dessert at the training table lunch.

 

[ImporterExporter]

Goes without saying but I hope we stomp the absolute shit out of them on Sunday.

Boys are going to be fired up. Keep giving this team ammo.

I guess if you could call a fourth quarter pre-season crowd with about 2 minutes left, an advantage, sure.
