As for team response, I have a meh reaction to that. Every other team is dealing with the same thing, so in theory they're all being brought closer together too. Don't think there will be any kind of intangible or emotional factor here that contributes to our W L record, no more so than any other team has.



What might play a factor is number of missed practice/training camp days. Or worse, missed games. With so many guys missing camp because of being on the COVID list, we're at a disadvantage compared to most teams, not an advantage.

Like I said there are 2 other threads for people to talk about it in the sense of population as a whole or for lumping all those who hesitate into one category. And that is the second time in this thread that you seem to want to play the dumb guy, first on the charts and second here about not being able to seperate duscussion topics. You are better than that. I know you are smarter, and definitely capable, of intelligent discussion and keeping football in football. Others may or may not, but you are certainly able to - if you choose to.

As for how the team is handling it compared to the rest of the league, I stand by my statement. I have seen a few coaches outright throw players under the bus - that may play well to fans but players will remember that. RR's approach has been to focus on the team and focus on the unity of the players. I liken it to Gibbs in the strike season. And it builds esprit de corps that will play a role at the end of the season.

If the team forfeits multiple games then that will change obviously, but right now RR is being a leader, and guiding not dictating the players to make their own choice and make it with team in mind.
