Anytime something related, like 2 MLB getting cancelled, occurs that gives some predictive indication of how an NFL season would go, it is worthy of being discussed. The NFL will run into these same issues if it goes ahead with its season. Someone said in a earlier post that these games would be easy to replay, because MLB postpones games all the time. We're talking about a team being out for two weeks of games. When you have the playoffs scheduled and stuff, I don't see how you fit two weeks(which may be an underestimate) of just 4 teams games before the playoffs. If this happened in the NFL(the NFL has much larger rosters, players come into direct contact with other teams more) how are you going to play 2-3(probably 3) games before the playoffs? What if the team has another wave of infections and they need to play even more games. The logistics of playing the NFL season seem incredibly difficult and the MLB is giving us a clue of just how difficult its going to be. It doesn't appear as if the NFL is going to adopt a bubble format, so I don't see how the above scenarios of teams being out for weeks is avoidable.
The teams are not going to be out for two weeks. Only the infected players will be out until cleared. There are players available to fill out the lineup for the upcoming games. The same will be the case in the NFL, but they have the advantage of playing a game once a week instead of every day. There should be no need to cancel games. And don't expect any large breakouts like what happened with the Marlins. The NFL protocols are already planned to be far more stringent than the MLB. There is also going to be rapid testing (some as quick a turnaround as SEVEN MINUTES.)
