Do you think the NFL season may be canceled this year? Mar 20, 2020 13:22:18 GMT -6

I know we are ~5 months out from the start of the regular season. But do you think it's possible the 2020 NFL season may not happen? In an hour the governor of Illinois is going to announce a lockdown... the Illinois National Guard has been called out. Other states seem to be considering this, or have already locked down. This sounds a lot worse than anyone envisioned. The experts are saying it will be 18 months of pandemic now (LINK).

I know in the grand scheme of things we shouldn't worry about a game, but reality is just setting in for me that we may not see any season at all this year. It doesn't matter who is our QB this year if nobody in the NFL plays. Right?

Well depends on how crappy the season goes. Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top

Quick TC quick PS and onto the regular season games maybe 1-2 weeks late. Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top

Seems to me like you guys are not paying attention to, for example, Italy. I am, cos we are right next to it. Exp.growth, yesterday over 600 deaths in a pretty small area. Spain and France are catching up...

given the typical 8-12 month time frame for a vaccine (they will try for faster), the 18 month looks like a worst case scenario.

season delay is possible, but not probable. give it a month or two.

This +1000. The gravity of this situation cannot be said enough. We are so lucky at the moment to have one of the 2 areas in Spain which have not been hit hard yet. Andalucía & Murcia are lucky to have low infection number per 100,000 residents. Keep safe guys and stay indoors!
