NFL Playoff Bubble something you can handle this year?
If the COVID 19 tests keep happening, they may have too. During the season you can move games and dates around. Not because of no fans, even though that helps, its because not many events happening where a NFL teams has to share the stadium. Most Soccer and College teams have their own stadiums. Concerts in the domed stadiums are not happening during this pandemic.
If they can find 4 cities to help be bubble cities, it can happen. Tampa and the NFL have said they can move the Super Bowl up to 4 weeks out. This gives time to have a week off between playoff rounds if need be.
Bubble the Wild Card round and next round. Move the Championship rounds to Tampa and the Super Bowl two weeks later. The bubble cities could be Dallas, Arizona, Minnesota, LA or Atlanta to name a few.
This could hopefully keep teams healthy. NBA and NHL had good success bubbling to finish their seasons and playoffs. Not that I want this every year. Lots of things this year I don't to see every year.
I do like the idea of two games on Monday nights. One can be a west coast or Denver home game. GIve an option if the "early" game is a bust, one to switch to. ESPN and ABC and be the networks. They can keep the Thursday game. Enough teams to make this part happen. Iplay Thursday, the week before is your bye week. This goes for the Thanksgiving games as well.
It's a thought. Please let me know your thoughts and ideas on this
