Not to get too off topic, but the bubble (w/out fans) was like watching glorified pickup games. :wink:

Plus its practically impossible for the NFL to create a bubble. Not just the fact that there are 32 teams and each team has a coaching staff that is bigger than an NBA roster and a NFL roster is 4x the size of a NBA roster. The amount of space needed for a NFL bubble is just way too much. You need a place that has the space of 32 football fields so teams can all practice. Even if you split it up in 4 groups, youre still talking needing to find 4 places that can house 8 NFL teams plus all the medical and TV personnel. Then again needing to find 4 places that has 8 football field size places for teams to practice.

Yes, the NBA created a successful bubble. But the games we're still boring af.

Heck no . The NBA bubble was perfect and alot better than I can imagine. Mitchell vs. Murray, Jokic vs Gobert. Luka vs the super team Clippers. The Nuggets upsetting the Clippers from being down 3-1. Heat dominating and upsetting the Bucks. Raps vs Celtics going to game 7. This bubble was gold. I'll admit down the stretch it got a little boring. The WCF and the finals were pretty boring but everything else was dope.

Totally agreed with Papi & Lakeshow NBA Bubble was **** awesome

so was the NHL Bubble. zero positive tests they knew what they were doing.

Good point by Dukelife, I don't know what the answer is but it's not what they are currently doing(the NFL).

I still have a *strong* feeling it's going to go sideways/pear shaped at any moment.

Regards.

There were fans...just virtual, but they were there. There were definitely some good and great games and a few great series. I think the NFL is much worse without fans than the NBA.

I think the NFL, overall, is doing pretty well with COVID. Sure, problems with 2 or 3 teams, but that's it so far through almost a third of the season.

It's just not the same without a packed arena unfortunately. Felt too much like Summer League games. I thought the virtual fans element was really tacky if I'm being honest.

At least with the NFL, they still feel like actual games being played in real stadiums.

I think with the NFL it also has the feel of a practice game....I am just used to the crowd noise really being a factor in NFL games and you hearing the stadium stuff.

Of course I'm not used to crowd noise in either sport being a Suns and Chargers fan.

There we go. :D

Not having a crowd really takes away from the experience in most sports. Baseball might be the one team sport that isn't so negatively affected by this.

I guess in my experience the games are just as watchable because I'm a Football junkie.
