Practice facility closed. Everyone working remote today lol.... 

 

Oh joy.

 

Wouldn't mind them moving the game to Tuesday though.

The browns had covid obj tested I heard it could be our defense 

The browns should be fined letting obj play with covid against the colts

Was hoping we could avoid it for the year. Looks like that didn't happen. Curious who got it.

Seems premature and frankly just ridiculous to point the finger for Colts positive tests at OBJ. But it is what I expect from you

[HorseFly 32]

Well...it was fun while it lasted.  

[Nadine 6,215]

It is spreading pretty rapidly in Indiana, stay safe everyone

Colts are in a bubble the only contact was with the browns . Obj gets sick a couple days after the game .  I blamed the browns for not testing not obj

Colts aren't in a bubble. No team is. OBJ was sent home yesterday. Obviously, someone from the Colts tested positive yesterday. To say it was one team or the other at this point is silly.

[Jared Cisneros 3,768]

Hopefully they turn out to be false positives. All I got at this point.

[Imgrandojji 1,245]

I agree jared but I doubt it'll happen that way.  I think we're seeing the beginning of the end of the football season to be honest.  what's that, 7 different teams with COVID outbreaks in the same WEEK?????  How long can we even keep this up?

Frank and ballard are running a tight ship . I would be willing to be it was the browns lack of testing .  We will see the nfl does the research and caught the titans breaking the rules which caused the spread.   I doubt frank would do that as he is a great coach.   If I am wrong I'll eat crow .  Certain teams are more laxed on the rules .

The titans had 20 players get covid they just played.   Money is very important to the owners.

All players go home to family. Families have kids that go to school.

Indiana's positives have been going way up if you haven't noticed. 

It can happen to any team. 

[Fluke_33 2,329]

This is really disappointing.  The league should have done a lot more to limit contact earlier and through the season.  
 

I doubt the colts have the authority to have a bubble without the entire league doing it and union approval.
 

 Young men are going to take risks.  That’s what young men do.  

[Boss7894 20]

People are That surprised at Covid showing up on the team?

Then the season is over if this gets worse unless they take a 2 month break like the nba.

Rivers has 9 kids. Would be easy for any one of them to contract it at school and bring it home.  In San Diego they home-schooled but his kids are attending school in Indiana.

I thought they were in a bubble like the nba where the players and their families stayed at hotels near the colts stadium.  I thought away games the players went into the other teams hotel set up i thought the players and families were never in contact with the outside.    I just looked it up you are right .   The way the nfl set this up was horrible. it should be a bubble like the  nba .have one stadium and no practice and teams play at .  With 15 games a week they could rotate between friday night and Monday night with all teams sharing one stadium.

Why. We've seen both CFB and NFL teams test positive, and simply delay their games. There's nothing that prohibits them from adding and extra week or so to the end of the season for make up games, etc.. It's not the end of the world.

I hope so I love football . What if every team gets a bad outbreak and teams run out of players to use .that is my fear .

Community spread is high in Indiana. It doesn’t matter how tight of a ship

you run.

TY is safe, he can’t catch anything this year.

We've already had teams with positives, that have recovered and started playing again. No reason to freak out at this point.

Maybe. I’d be surprised if they are in public schools or not in school remotely.  I highly doubt it’s rivers.  

More likely a young guy going out.  Could be staff members too.

WR and TEs going up against Okereke this year have been catching everything (21 of 23). Better test all those guys. 

[w87r 3,885]

Not very good being this late in the week.

 

If its postponed maybe that gives Leonard enough time to get back?

It's bound to happen to every team eventually. But yes, a lot of these players have kids that attend school which bring home the virus from other kids. Nobody can out run this virus, its at your heels everywhere you go.

[Nadine 6,215]

Assume the virus is everywhere and make sure you wash your hands.  Corona Virus can live on your hands for 9 hours.  Imagine all the people out there touching things......and then you touch the same thing.

 

Respect the virus, it is very good at what it does

[Coltsman1788 1,450]

It was a matter of time unfortunately.  Hopefully the organization is able to take the proper precautions to mitigate spread and allow affected players/personnel to recover safely.

At what point did you hear or see or think this? Because that’s as far from the truth as possible.
