Since 2000 we have played in Tampa Bay 6 times. The Packers are 4-2 in that stretch.TheGreenMan wrote: ↑06 May 2020 15:43I hate playing in Tampa. If you take Brady off the team, I still say we have a shot of losing that one. We often look ill prepared down there.

Not knowing what live game situations are going to look like, fans in stadiums... maybe giving the Covid pandemic "more time" to settle down before rivalry games? Divisional games produce more revenue, want the league on all cylinders type of thing.
I think that is exactly why they are doing it.TheGreenMan wrote: ↑06 May 2020 17:07Not knowing what live game situations are going to look like, fans in stadiums... maybe giving the Covid pandemic "more time" to settle down before rivalry games?

… I'm obviously guessing here.
Thats my thing. I just dont see how if the conditions arent right to play by week 1, i have no confidence it will be right by week 5. I guess it will just come down to what risk players are willing to accept, and how big of a PR hit the league is willing to take.British wrote: ↑07 May 2020 09:24It's interesting from overseas to observe the way the US is dealing with the pandemic. If it was Germany I'd have greater optimism that we'd be good to go by September. But the hodgepodge of different tactics and responses taken by different states feels like it will still be swirling around from state to state for some time.
Right now I'm expecting zero fans in the stadium all season. My guess is political pressure will mean games will get the green light to be played but all players will probably have to sign a waiver that they won't sue if they catch it and teams may be have to be prepared for star players to be quarantined for a week if they show symptoms.
Anyone know if players will get paid if the season is cancelled/they opt out? Does it depend on the guarantees in each player's contracts? Might we have guys with guarantees sitting out on safety grounds and those without taking part?Drj820 wrote: ↑07 May 2020 09:45Thats my thing.

Yeah you will want to monitor Georgia and Texas. They the first states who are opening prior to the federal guidelines. Word so far is Georgia's cases are rising faster than anyone in the country now, but it's a bit early to know anything yet.British wrote: ↑07 May 2020 09:24It's interesting from overseas to observe the way the US is dealing with the pandemic.

Without getting into a debate on who is doing it right, and who is wrong. (I wouldnt defend the state of Ga on anything) I will say this: The stats all over the south are skewed currently because we just started having free testing, and we just started allowing people to be tested without a doctors referall. Before the last couple weeks tons of people were just assuming they have it and self quarantining. So the numbers have probably been much higher all along, we are just now seeing a truer representation.go pak go wrote: ↑07 May 2020 10:09Yeah you will want to monitor Georgia and Texas.
