2020 NFL Season Thread

[tcphoto]

As the 2020 NFL Season approaches, what are the odds that we are watching games through the coming months? How many think that it will end abruptly, fizzle out or make it through to the Super Bowl? Do you think that we'll see Playoff games without fans or even an empty stadium with a Super Bowl?

I know some College football programs are allowing 25% capacity; starting this weekend. Depends of the state and Governors decision. I bet the DIRECTV Sunday ticket is going to be a hot seller.

too much money in the NFL for them not to play the full season. They will do everything they can to make it through the season

I was I big football fan, but not any longer. The rules changes that protect the QB, helmet-helmet hits, defenseless player, and kick-offs, ruined the sport. Throwing in Colon Kaepernick's disrespect for his country capped it for me. And the whole crapshow the Redskins have been since Snyder's ownership, topped off with PC pressure to change the name to "Football Team". Lol.

Having games with no live fans... good luck with that.

the skins got trolled hard with their team name. someone trademarked and bought up all the domains with their leaked ideas for a team name so they had nothing else to do. I like to think it was jerry jones.

He's just mad because with the opening of SoFi stadium, the Rams/Chargers have a bigger screen

its longer so more screen, but not bigger. that screen in jerry world is massive and its hard to watch the actual game vs the big screen, even when sitting down low.

the rams is definitely cool though cause you can see it from all angles where the cowboys has some spots that arent optimal.

I’m hugely skeptical considering they’re not in a bubble like the nba. We’ve seen plenty of baseball games canceled/postponed from one player or staff get tested positive.

It is a guy in Alexandria, Virginia. The holdup on the new name I'm sure is Snyder either suing for the naming rights or negotiating a deal to by it. Snyder is probably suing to make a point. I know I guy who did the same thing to Apple. He didn't get rich off it.

LET'S GO!!!!!

I was planning on Season Tickets but of course Covid-19 happened...

Oh well. And then I was literally about to call and order Sunday NFL Ticket and I got this email first...

Nice!

I was hoping to attend a Cowboys game this year (My brother and I try to go to at least 1 home game each year) but it doesn't look like it. We might still make a trip out of it and tailgate if they allow it.

Excited for this season!

It's actually been pretty interesting watching Hard Knocks on HBO featuring both LA teams. Dallas país the Rams in their new stadium Sunday night!

Yeah if the anticipated jump in cases happens in the fall, hard to believe they can get a season in without some big name players getting infected. If that happens its all over.

Miami 9
Atlanta 29

Did the regulate season start a day early?????

My brother and I will be at the area to tailgate. Should be epic!

LA since it's not a far drive from San Diego.

We are still going to try and make it to Dallas though. It's just something about the food, atmosphere and people that make it a nice trip to do once a year.

Plus I am good friends with the service department at Classic BMW, gives me a reason to stop by and say hi to them.

^^ Nice!

Football is BACK!!!!

There is something about the energy in New Orleans for a Saints game. From the Dome to the Quarter, the streets come even more alive with all sorts of tailgating. The noise inside the Dome during a game is fun to experience. If you can't make it to a game, there are plenty or bars & outdoor seating areas that have the same vibe. It won't quite be the same and will be very strange. I'm going to miss the games and excitement of the city during Saints season🖤⚜️💛

There were actually fans in the stands last night???

With 5:39 left in the fourth, I was in teh square for $220. Why can't we just sit down, you aren't going to make up that many points. . .

Yeah I believe only KC and Jac will be the only 2 teams that will have stands for now. I know that the Bucs aren't doing any fans for the first 2 home games so not sure if that's what the rest of the league is doing as well.

Given that last night was the 1st game with no preseason it was def a slow game to watch.
