Leonard, Pascal and Willis all ruled OUT

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I wonder if the NFL is going to put colts in advanced protocols and require everyone to get tested like they did the Browns.

[chickenMan]

Also whoever fills in for Pascal has a golden opportunity to prove they deserve to stay through the offseason. Maybe a coming out game for Patmon or Strachan?

So right now who will be starting at safety? Odum obviously, but who fills in? Chesley? Certainly not ideal. We know Pryor, Pinter, and Reed are filling in on the OL, we have Patmon for Pascal, and Speed for Darius, but who plays SS?

Carrie maybe.

I agree, especially since new data is showing the Omicron variant is more transmissible than the common cold. I pray that the information coming out of SA holds for every country like it is for theirs. 

 

I guess what i am saying is; the NFL is just as responsible for these positive tests since they are still allowing fans in the stadiums.

What's your viral load if you are asymptomatic versus symptoatic?

Asymptomatic is lower than symptomatic.

Really the NFL should postpone this game if they really do care about risk of Covid being spread (not to mention the playoff implications for both teams), but they need those TV ratings for Christmas night so whatever.

Are you so comprehending in your life in general? I mean if you buy an expensive ticket for a concert and the rock star skips the concert because "he has other preferences", then what you do? You say it is what it is, roll on, put it behind? Or you want your money back?

Apples and oranges - I come to watch a team in a team sport, you can prefer to put your eggs in your one or two stars theory.

 

No different than Polian sitting starters. Take it up with the Colts, and good luck!!!

I’d be willing to bet if this were the Bucs or Cowboys they’d do it.

The only reason Browns had so many players was they had about 8 positives and the nfl went in and tested everyone.

If too many players test positive, the NFL loses money. They really don’t care if fans get sick. The season tickets are already paid for. They aren’t refunding tickets.

Addae with Redmond backing him up

[bigt]

It’s inevitable that this will continue to hit NFL players.  Frank needs to start thinking about getting Ehlinger in the games  more and have him run plays other than hand offs.  He needs to be ready.

[WoolMagnet]

Its Frustrating and somewhat concerning that arguably our 3 top “leaders” on the team arent vaxxed.  Wentz, nelson, leonard.

Leaders?   I can see this season goin sown the crapper.  

Wentz gets covid in 3 , 2 , 1.......,,

Yep their starting center. He is horrible as the president of the union. Never listens to the players. Funny thing is he is missing this game from covid lol.

Because your viral load is lower if you’re unvaccinated. That means not only will you suffer less symptoms, you are also less likely to be a super spreader.

Fauci said the viral load is the same whether you're vaccinated or  unvaccinated.

So if that is the case why test asymptomatic? They don't daily test vaccinated because of less viral load. If a player is asymptomatic then they are less likely to spread just like vaccinated,  no?

[IrsaysArmy]

I still think we win tonight. Change my mind

Because the NFL rules are dumb. They are ruining the playoffs.

If we win this week or next and vs Jags we are in and the backups forced to play these games will have gotten vital snaps. Could help come playoff time, just saying

They knew the rules were different for vaccinated and unvaccinated.   They chose to put the teams success at risk.  Apparently they don't feel too much for their teammates.    They are selfish people.  

I think its selfish of you to think a grown man can't make a decision that he believes is the best for him and his family.

We saw leonard getting on the plane.   So now what?  Next week 10 more of our players are on the list?

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I am kind of excited to see how Dulin does with increased snaps. He will take pascals spot.

They were all on the plane. Hopefully pascal and Willis are close contacts. 

[colts89]

Can some of you not debate about vaccinations on a football forum/personally insult players? Its really not that hard.

[bigt]

We need to clinch a playoff spot ASAP, hope most of the Covid positives happen during the next 2 weeks, let back up players get valuable playing time, and march into playoffs with the worst behind us.

My main concern is our secondary against Murray and his receivers.  Our overall offense dominates their overall defense and our run defense is better than their run offense.  Their pass attack has the potential to dominate our secondary.  Go Colts!!!

 

 Agree. Willis/Odom didn't sound so bad.

  Boxcar Willie/Odom  and Flus lines them up 25 yards deep and it's

free tosses over the middle All Night Long.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

There is one saving grace to all of this. Ravens most likely lose tomorrow. Browns are behind by ten to packers. Steelers loose we are still in a good spot. Chargers have two big players on the covid list. So we may not lose much ground. Then if we make it to playoffs everyone will be on a covid holiday.

 

Chargers are playing Texans so I assume they will win. Bengals should win. But all those other teams should lose.

Absolutely right! I can pull for the team, but some of these players are getting under my skin. They make insane money yet they are just selfish.

For what it’s worth, that was the same doctor who told everyone in March of 2020 that masks would do no good at all and then by May of 2020, reversed course and eventually demanded double masks.

Heres the deal. Unvaccinated kids in my daughters middle school, if quarantined because of being a close contact, can go back with a negative test. That’s the logical rule. If they can make a rule change for vaccinated players in the middle of the season for economic reasons, they can do so for unvaccinated individuals, even if they’d prefer 2 negative tests in 24 or 48 hours, IMO.

 

They do insist in schools to test 5 days after first onset of symptoms of original Covid positive for close contacts to account for incubation period.

Yes, i fully expect this to happen because of the transmissibility on the new variant. Its best for all to mentally prepare themselves for the news that more Colts test positive and physically prepare themselves to also be exposed. 

[csmopar]

My question is why isn’t this game being postponed like the Ravens game was?!

 Unfortunately, if one is getting all their news and facts from ALL the other cable sources your head would be filled with garbage and lies.

 Plenty of Doctors say so.
