Problem is, the Broncos will not have the traditional bye week. Will this make a difference? Who knows

Y’all didn’t think the NFL would inconvenience the Cheatriots, did ya?

Do the Cheatriots still get a regular bye week?

No. Next week was their bye.

The NFL is reshuffling its schedule following Sunday's announcement that the Denver Broncos-New England Patriots game, already rescheduled for Monday night, was being postponed after another Patriots player tested positive for COVID-19.

The league announced Sunday afternoon a number of scheduling changes stemming from this week's postponement. Among them is that the Broncos-Patriots game will be moved to Week 6 on Sunday, Oct. 18 at 1 p.m. ET.

Absolutely, and you could see it coming a mile away... unless you're BTB.

Good. I didn’t like the 2pm PT start anyway. I’m still at work during that time.

Tell me how the Pats have gotten preferential treatment and the Titans haven't. I'll wait.

It's ridiculous how much real estate the pats have in some of your heads. This was always going to be a weird, screwed up year and the schedule was going to be wonky. There's no grand scheme to help the Pats here. Seems more like you guys just want to have an excuse for if we lose. I'm glad Fangio isn't letting the team be so soft.

Let's have those samples tested by a second, independent lab. There is some belief that other than the first positive, all the rest have simply been an attempt by the NFL to make sure that when the Pats play, they have Newton and a full complement of players on the field.

It’s not a conspiracy. Besides, the Broncos benefit from the delay too, maybe even more so. Lock, Lindsay, Bouye, Jeudy.

I’m not saying this Patriots preferential treatment is a conspiracy, but Robert Kraft definitely has some dirt on someone at the league office.

You just described a conspiracy.
