Thread: No Broncos Game This Week

New positive test this morning. We have so many injured, I'm happy they are putting player safety first. We don't need the rona on top of all these injures.

This sucks for a number of reasons. This could end up being our bye week if the NFL will keep rescheduling our games. So we spent a bye week preparing for a team we didn’t play. Cam will and Gilmore could be back next Sunday. I also just wanted Rypien to get one last shot. Silver lining is that Lock, Fant, Hamler, Bouye, and Purcell could all play next week.

I’m glad safety is being considered but it’s a pretty raw deal for our guys overall.

It does suck, but that's just the reality of the league this year. I'm guessing this is going to keep happening to other teams as well. Just gotta play through it. Having Lock next week is definitely the huge plus from this at least.

Just an early bye week pretty much, but playing Pats without Cam would have been a near automatic win. Lock's return is good.

Automatic win? You've watched the broncos this year right? We barely beat the Jets. A game against all the Pats backups wouldn't be an automatic win.

It feels like the Broncos-Dolphins game is getting postponed so as to not disrupt the Pats’ schedule. Who’s to say they don’t just cancel that game at the end of the year if neither team is in contention? Maybe we benefit by prepping for the Patriots for 2 weeks. I honestly don’t know, but it feels like we’re getting the short end of the stick here.

It's bullshit. The Pats got preferential treatment and the Broncos got punished. Pats should have been forced to forfeit.

That would be bad for players trying to hit incentives in their contracts...

NFL needs to just add an extra week or two to the season. If the NFL wants their week 17 division games, they can simply push the full slate back and add the extra week before that week. Titans are going to barely get a game in this week, but it is possible New England is at the beginning of their outbreak not the end. What happens then?

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The Broncos-Patriots game that had been rescheduled to Monday is now being moved to next Sunday after the Patriots had one new positive test for the coronavirus Sunday morning, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Patriots were to be on bye in Week 6, while the Broncos were supposed to play Miami. The Dolphins-Broncos game is being rescheduled.

Aside from the one positive test, all other Patriots tests were negative Sunday morning, a source told Schefter.

Broncos running back Melvin Gordon and safety Justin Simmons expressed their displeasure on Twitter:
