no college season and the draft becomes a complete lottery anyway
Adams going to have to adjust to a new system as he's not a natural ball attacker

First Garrett, now Bosa. Serious shifts in how pass rushers getting paid.

Seahawks need a replacement for Earl Thomas in the secondary as he was the key part of the legion of boom. He was so fast he could cover both sides of the field at once and that allowed Chancellor to play basically as an extra LB

We stole (for a fucking fifth rounder somehow!) Quandre Diggs from the Lions for that role last season, our defense shot from 25th-ish to top 10 as soon as he started playing. If Diggs stays healthy this year, Adams is going to have plenty of chances to just smack guys. I can't wait.

Looking likely college football could be postponed until spring.

Zimmer loves his DEs. I'll take Ngakoue for a 2nd pick in an uncertain draft.

Hard to see a college football season being completed before Xmas. Alabama already has 1300 students and 166 staff with COVID and they've only been back short time. Auburn already have 16 players in quarantine - nearly every other college has had cases amongst players.

I'm into my 4th season of following the NFL now, each year I find my excitement for the new season is growing bigger and bigger. Like all sports, it'll be affected by the pandemic. Being the US maybe more so. Still, I cannot wait for kick off.

Is it starting BCD? if so that'll be a pisser for a lot of teams as the home advantage with the crowd noise on 3rd downs etc. is huge

Seahawks have said at least the first 3 will be, I'm not sure if it's being done on a per club basis.

Will there be fans at NFL games in 2020? Where all 32 teams stand for the regular season

From limited capacity to no fans at all, teams reveal to our NFL Nation reporters their updated plans for attendance at regular-season games.

IDK,the political scene over there may render games defunct.
Potential strikes civil unrest?

Not all NFL, but there might be a chance Tampa could win all the major U.S sports this year..
Buccaneers have a hell of a chance at the Superbowl.
The Lightning are the best in NHL right now and look big favourites for the Stanley Cup and no one can get near the TB Rays in Baseball.
Great time to be a TB fan right now!

I think the WFT have already said no fans this season. No different from last TBF.

Piping sound into the stadiums I believe is the plan, although same level throughout which as you said takes away advantage that the likes of Seattle, KC and NO can create. Wonder if the NFL will address that before the season starts.

Teams like the chargers could have a big advantage, their home games are often like road games so having no fans would be better than 30,000 road fans

Got a strange level of optimism for the WFT going into our opener, sounds like Philly have quite a few injuries, excited to see what our defence can do and how Haskins is improving

I’m sure I read no fans in the Mercedes Benz for Falcons or ATL United all season. Not that that should bother the Falcons too much as they never sell it out anyway.

Not sure it's a huge shock, but Washington have released Adrian Peterson.

I was pretty shocked. Something happened that I’ve missed? I thought he’d start the season RB1

kind of surprising considering how little Gibson actually ran the ball in college - if he's going to new Number 1
Think Rivera is looking long-term as he knows he's got a free pass this season. Also likes his RBs to be able to catch the ball.
Does clear some cap space but AP wasn't on a big contract.

I want to see a lot of Bryce Love. If he’s overcome his injury he could be a secret weapon. Rivera does love a receiving back though.

Getting close. Squads cut to final 53. 4 days until Watson vs Mahomes starts us off.

I’m actually really looking forward to seeing how this season works with no home field advantage. You can see away teams being a lot more comfortable in Kansas City and Seattle to name a couple.

I feel sorry for the Raiders fans that have paid thousands for season tickets in Vegas only to be locked out though.

Going to throw up all sorts of interesting issues. Also might see some players step up without crowds eg Trubisky less pressure. Others may fall away. None of the arm waving for crowds to up the noise.
Games going to seem at a slower pace without distractions between downs etc

Nah, there had been a few rumblings. Sounds like they are all in on Antonio Gibson, but they also have Bryce Love who is a talent. I'd have kept him over Peyton Barber though.
