Even though undrafted rookie practice squad WR Kendall Hinton is expected to start at QB today vs. the Saints, the Broncos wanted their starting QB to be Rob Calabrese, their offensive quality control coach for the past two years, per sources.

And the league wouldn't let them. If this game is played, and it shouldn't be, Goddell should be fired by tomorrow morning.

If Rail would have posted the tape of him and coach Ravdel playing catch at the Gold Coast garage, he may be starting in Denver.

terrible packages, i would have used a spread option with linton qb and lindsay at back, with some diamond formation hitches, and hitch goes, bubble screens and throws to tight end. i would have never let lindsay take a snap at qb, he is not a power runner which you need for wildcat. nor would i have let him run spread option. if teams switched coaches it would have been a 1 score game.

In what other world can you continue to work knowing you have so many positive tests and people infected? Many articles are going hard on the NFL. I know people want sports and contracts need to be fullfilled but damn man, look at this circus. Fortunately some people do get it.

New Era pinstripe bowl cancelled in NY and many others to follow.
Washington Post headline yesterday, The coronavirus has turned the NFL into a joke, and nobody should be laughing
I might lose bets and might not be the brightest but you idiots have to wake up. It shouldnt take a loved one or family member passing away or getting severely sick to do it either.

Think about how sick in the head everybody is playing still and us betting on it as well. Psychopathic type shit.

Also while I'm on my morning after, coming off a loss rant it's a shame we can't authoritatively determine who a breakout originated fron. There are hardly any consequences for people causing this. I just wish we can force people to face consequences of their feels based decision making that is costing lives.
I bet you pussys would think twice.

A lot of people don’t know they have it to spread. You cannot get a test here unless you have 2 symptoms.

My buddy was at a family Thanksgiving dinner, about 10+ people there. One person started showing symptoms the day after, tested positive. Now everyone else at that dinner is at risk. just one example of someone having it, they don't know it, then bam!

If people were dying or seriously ill from exposures to the NFL it then I'm sure it would be shutdown. They are going to incredible lengths to make sure their mostly quite healthy players and team employees are less at risk than people in the "real world". I'd be very surprised if for example these Bronco QBs all test positive this week now that they are in isolation and sounds like their exposure to the one who has it was very light.
Problem is their family members and those around them aren't subjected to the same scrutiny as it appears almost all of them in recent months have gotten it from outside their teams. If they had played in a bubble there would be no cases to worry about, but that was the decision they and their union agreed to.
For old-timers, this year is absolutely nothing compared to 1987.
A player's strike was called after Week 2 of 1987 leading to the NFL playing weeks 4 thru 6 with replacement players. A few regular players like Joe Montana, Tony Dorsett, Steve Largent, and Lawrence Taylor came back after a week or two.
Then Cal Neva Sportsbook Director Chris Andrews tells a great tale about how he had a guy, John Falenski (later was JA Nugget's Sportsbook Director), make new, pretty accurate power ratings for all the replacement rosters. Game lines were all over the map. A wild 3 weeks before the strike was called off.

I remember those games, some bettors made some good scores. Still having a never even practiced in the NFL as a QB going out against a top defense is a whole different situation than a bunch of guys who never got a shot at the NFL going out to pretend to be NFLers. The stats on Hinton were horrific, but for anyone who actually watched the game it was even worse. His one completion was on a screen pass behind the line and even that wasn't a well placed ball but it was caught. The rest of his passes were off by 10 feet or more. I totally agreed with the Broncos, signing a coach to play QB would have been better.

redskins went 3-0 with their replacement players, they all received superbowl rings too.

1987 seemed wild. I was only 6. Just to go back to the newspaper days would be interesting.
Insane indeed.

That is surprising that ownership gave them rings. That would never have happened in Chicago or Philly. Actually Ditka kind of lost the players during this strike, calling the scabs the real Bears because they were playing.

If the league is letting Tenn and Balt reschedule, they should have let Denver do the same. I get that Denver was negligent, but so was Tenn. The NFL really should take this weekend off and push everything back a week. If they are not letting teams go to their HQ's monday and tuesday, that tells you its bad. Without practicing, its a safety and conditioning issue for the players also. Unless the NFLPA signed off on this, I'm surprised they are allowing it.

Notice the Bronco QBs were all cleared this morning except for Driskel. So they could have played today. NFL won't ever admit it, but they just saw a chance to "teach a lesson" to a team that in their minds had little impact on the course of the season. If Lock played the result probably still would have been the same, but at least we'd have seen an NFL game instead of that glorified exhibition.
Yeah they probably would have lost but the defense did keep them within reach for as long as they could. I mean with absolutely zero offense they eventually just broke. I agree would have been a totally different game with an actual QB
That wouldn't include the Broncos who until 2018 hadn't had back to back losing seasons since 1972. I think the Pats are the only team to have more Superbowl appearances. Easily one of the top 10 most storied franchises in the NFL. Sorry but trying to lump them in with Lions and Browns just proves how low your football acumen is.

My business acumen is better. Three years losing is too long. Three years bad performance is not acceptable. No food for you.
Let me fill you in on something.
How you are performing NOW is all that matters.

Its not really a matter for the Broncos, its for the rest of the NFC that didn't see the Saints play a legitimate team. All the Broncos lost was a game of Lock to see what his potential is, not exactly a big deal.
Actually it was Mike Hohensee who started 2 of the 3 replacement games. Payton never started, was 8 of 23 for 79 yards with 0 tds, 1 int in 3 games.
Other 1987 Bear QBs were Jim McMahon, Mike Tomczak, and Jim Harbaugh.
