COVID Hits Atlanta
December 31st, 2020
Distractions! Some fans just go mental about them. Perceived or real.
So file this into whichever cabinet you wish. The Dixie Chicks are staying home today instead of working out/practicing at Flowery Branch.
Per their official Twitter account, all team duties will be done virtually because someone on the team tested positive for The Sickness.
The team, per the Dixie Chicks’ website, did this in consultation with the NFL and did not out the player who tested positive.
The Bucs need this win on Sunday. Every little bit helps. If that means one less practice for Atlanta and dudes getting too hungover from tonight’s events, it all adds up.
We will conduct business virtually today after one positive COVID-19 test from a member of the team. https://t.co/vBDVE4o1LA

They said that teams out of the hunt might get sloppy following protocol at the end of the season.

Time to keep rolling and knock The Koetter back to Idaho for retirement and possibly place Matty Ice-Cold and Julio on the trading block. No mercy a la Cobra Kai. 🐍

I would say sit RoJo but this is still a big game for the five seed.

I guess there is little chance it’s Calvin Ridley……

Unless the numbers get out of hand as in dozens who can’t play Sunday they’ll play the game.
Atlanta has NOTHING on the line anyway and the league would LOVE to see the Brady Bucs roar into the playoffs 11-5 and on a win streak.
We may have lost “America’s QB” but we swapped it out to become “America’s team”.

As much as I love this site, this article includes another example of my least favorite of Joe’s opinions – the way he relishes injuries and other disadvantages faced by Bucs opponents. “Every little bit helps”.
This constant desire for unearned privileges that permeates our society is so frustrating. Joe has no constant desire for unearned privileges. LOL.–Joe
Why wouldn’t you want your team to earn their victories? To overcome every obstacle? If you follow this mentality to its logical conclusion, you would have to think that it would be great if every opponent just forfeited and the Bucs were awarded the Lombardi without playing a single game. Yay!
It flies in rhe face of everything valuable about competitive sports. Forget that! Give me your best and force me to give you mine or lose trying.

Shut up Rich!

I wonder after the Haskins fiasco in DC if teams are less likely to out their players because of videos surfacing. Why wouldn’t they want players to be know so others that have had contact could be advised?

it’ll be the new “america’s team” (the bucs)
vs
the old “america’s team” (the cowdungs)

I’m by no means defending Rich. But Funny how another teams demise is all good until its…Your turn. Then its, we coulda..Shoulda..Woulda all over again. Hopefully our turn never comes. But when and If it does, remember..It is our turn.
