nfl is now pondering a third postponement of the ravens-steelers game to later this week, per league source. Game already has been moved from thanksgiving to sunday to tuesday....and now could be on the move again.
 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Baltimore's team facility is scheduled to reopen this evening, at which point the team will discuss its options. There is some concern among players about playing tomorrow, but also an understanding that, if the game is canceled, no one gets paid. Decisions likely tonight.</p>— Dan Graziano (@DanGrazianoESPN) <a href="https://twitter.com/DanGrazianoESPN/status/1333521022839103495?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 30, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Man, if they pull this bs, then they definitely should be forced to forfeit, pay all the Steeler players that are going to miss a paycheck and fine the **** out of them.

News is coming in fast and furious now

The more that comes out the more this seems like an all-out effort by the Ravens to get this postponed to Week 18 when they'll have a health roster in place. At least that's the optics of the situation as it is currently being reported.

it was their ******* fault...get your ***** on a plane and play the game
 
Make them forfeit. **** the Rats. Get your **** in order you infested ******* city.

No ****. They opted into this season knowing the risks. They caused this **** within their organization by being lax with the protocols. Play or forfeit *******!
 
If they refuse to play, they forfeit. It sucks for the Steelers as they would lose their game salary but that is what it would have to be. Delaying the game a couple more days is assinine.

I agree, and the league should make the Ravens pay the Steeler players that would lose a game check. This is complete bs, what a bunch of *******. I thought Baltimore was tougher than this to be honest.

I don't see how it's possible to postpone the game to even later this week, comments like that are just asinine.

So the Steelers will now play on 3 days rest before Washington on Sunday?
 
or - take the players from the Rats and Redskins (**** being PC) let them make one team.
When we win, we get two wins for playing one game.
if we lose, we only get one loss.

It's no different than playing a Thursday night game. Mon, Tues, Wed and Thur(Game Day). in this case, Thur, Fri, Sat and Sun(Game Day). hell they could move it to Thur and play the Wash game Monday. or They could move it to Fri and play the game Tues if they want to.
