Let's hope it's a false positive or isolated. :banghead:

Ah shit.. Saw 2 more titans players got tested positive too...

[doomy3]

Ugh. Vividly remember Gilmore and Mahomes talking for a while after the game Sunday.

If they postpone the Bills game...the Bills will be coming off a bye week to play the Chiefs next Thursday.

The Vikings were able to play last week after facing the Titans so that's promising. I think they were limited to virtual practice though.

Hate to say this but that’s on Patrick they’re not supposed to gather like that after game.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

The Titans stuff is what’s really bad. They went two days without it and now back again. They’re fucked and clearly test results can take forever to truly show.

[DRM08]

If they postpone the Bills game...the Bills will be coming off a bye week to play the Chiefs next Thursday.

Feels like that game is setting up heavily in Buffalo’s favor. If KC wins, it will be very impressive.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Chiefs are fixing to get their bye early here too because the Raiders are about to have an outbreak.

[RealSNR]

Give your coach a hug, Stephon

More on Gilmore - if you have been exposed maybe he should not hang out on the field after the game.

Cross your fingers, but I fear it’s just a matter of time

[nychief]

They should have paused the season for two weeks.

Love to see KC all negative but damn that feels unlikely considering Gilmore was all around our guys just a couple days ago.

Yeah no more post game chit chats.

It’s a weird season, just play the game and move along.

Who knows man, NFL will do whatever it takes to avoid adding a week 18 it seems like. Although that feels like a foregone conclusion with all the issues they’re having, most significantly Tennessee who has no more wiggle room.

I think you need to read the rest of my posts.

I’m absolutely expecting Chiefs tests to come back positive in the coming days once the incubation period is through. Hoping for the best though..

[Sassy Squatch]

Stephon Gilmore really living up to his shutdown corner billing.

[Deberg_1990]

We’ll be fine for a few weeks with Henne at the helm.

They could easily move everything back because the Super Bowl doesn’t need to be played the first Sunday in February.

[TribalElder]

I thought that shit at the time it happened

don't talk to the patriot players after the game they are carrying the coronoavirus :(

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

It’s time to do what the NFL wants. All players in a hotel.

[Dunerdr]

I guess im in the minority, not really sweating this.. it was bound to happen. People, players, and coaches will eventually get it. Were all probably gonna get it. The fucking president got it.

[Mahomes_Is_God]

Shits getting out of control. They should just postpone the season for a few weeks and let everything get back to normal. Then regroup and come up with a better plan.

I swear to fucking christ if we're forced to forfeit a game because of this weak ass virus I will lose my shit completely

Yep. Thurs, Fri and Sat will be telling...

Titans may be forced to forfeit. Goddamn

[RunKC]

I posted this on Monday after the game

I’m being paranoid but I keep wondering how Cam has Covid but never spread it? Just hope this wasn’t a “too early to confirm” stage that later found one of their guys actually had it and played tonight.

Ugh I knew it was too good to be true that only 1 fucking person had that without spreading despite tests.

Postponing a few weeks isn't going to change a thing, the virus isn't going away. You just have to work through it like every fucking body else.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Titans may be forced to forfeit. Goddamn

I don’t think they can go that route. Wouldn’t be fair to hand the Bills a win and not Pittsburgh.

Just add Week 18 now. Every team damn near is going to end up being in it anyways.

[wazu]

I don’t think they can go that route. Wouldn’t be fair to hand the Bills a win and not Pittsburgh.

Just add Week 18 now. Every team damn near is going to end up being in it anyways.

Then what? When the Titans do it again next week do we add Week 19?

[Titty Meat]

Cut the season short to 10 or 12 games allow my schedule flexibility like this move forward. Might need some sort of bubble for playoffs.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Then what? When the Titans do it again next week do we add Week 19?

Probably, yeah.

It’s week 5 and there’s a lot of teams dealing with COVID now. It’s going to probably lead to 3 or more postponed games this week alone.

Safe bet that we have many more issues in the coming months making a week 19 necessary.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Cut the season short to 10 or 12 games allow my schedule flexibility like this move forward. Might need some sort of bubble for playoffs.

There’s gotta be some sort of team lockdown for the playoffs. Can’t risk losing a critical player then.

[RunKC]

Hate to say this but that’s on Patrick they’re not supposed to gather like that after game.

Andy and Clark need to learn from this and tell these guys not to talk to anybody after the games moving forward.

Cut the risk out entirely

[Mahomes_Is_God]

Postponing a few weeks isn't going to change a thing, the virus isn't going away. You just have to work through it like every ****ing body else.

Postponing would HELP US. Do you really want to see us forfeit games because of this shit? This is our best shot at going undefeated and it's all going to be fucking ruined.

[CupidStunt]

I guess im in the minority, not really sweating this.. it was bound to happen. People, players, and coaches will eventually get it. Were all probably gonna get it. The ****ing president got it.

The issue isn't a player or 3 getting it, it's the bigger impact it has on teams, schedules and the overall season.

The human side of it aside, we're SB favorites and primed to dominate the league for a decade. Of course we don't want anything, especially something like this, to get in the way.

[O.city]

So with Gilmore being a close contact of someone testing positive, why was he allowed to play? Same with any of the Chiefs in close contact with Ta'Amu

[CupidStunt]

On another note, 2 more Titans tested positive and and they play the Bills this week. Just imagine if that game is postponed or whatever and the Bills have a bye week, AND our schedule doesn't change. That'd mean next TNF has the Bills coming off 2 weeks rest vs our 3rd game in 11 days. LOL

Exactly this.

If we were back in 2012, we’d be begging the league to call the season off.

But this is too grand of an opportunity. The Chiefs are headed right for a repeat title. They’ve gotta get this thing figured out and I’m sure they will even if it means a Super Bowl in March. Too much money at stake.

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

Who cares about a undefeated season? This season will always have a * by it. No fans , players missing games with covid19

Depends on WHEN the close contact occurred. One would have to assume it was at least 5 days before he tested negative on a Covid test.

Typically you go back 48 hours before the positive test to see who was a close contact but not sure what NFL protocols are.

[DRM08]

Love to see KC all negative but damn that feels unlikely considering Gilmore was all around our guys just a couple days ago.

Takes a solid 7+ days for people to start testing positive after exposure, right? So we might not see the impact on KC until early next week.

If they're symptomatic it's 48 hours prior IIRC. I assumed by them flying the close contacts on a different plane they were cautious.

I get that, however theres already basically an extra 4 weeks built in. They have facilities in tampa taken care of for 1 month after the superbowl. Theres no need to panic and pull the plug on things like people are talking about in this thread. We just have to work through it like everyone else. Something will probably have to be done come the playoffs to keep things fair.

Bring all players and coaches together in one stadium and hose them down with Covid. Just get it over with. Restart the season in two weeks. Then give all Americans one drop each of Patrick's blood. Our nation would then be super badass forever.

If there are Chiefs players that get COVID and they can trace it back to Gilmore, that easily could just upend the whole season. Doubt it happens but still just don't know enough about this virus.

JFC. The "season is falling apart" because .000000001% of NFL players have tested positive?

Comments like these are the leading cause of brain bleeding. Do a little bit of research, fuck stick. Our entire roster could be infected and we wouldn't find out about it until next week.

Again, the Vikings have had zero positive tests after playing Tennessee who has had how many players test positive now? 10?

One of them a starting DL playing in the trenches.....

Anything is "possible" but transmission here is unlikely. Especially considering he was negative the day of the game and is still asymptomatic.

[BigRedChief]

I don't understand how you people are worried that Gilmore briefly chatted or touched someone when he was ALL OVER OUR RECEIVERS ALL GAME. Shouldn't you be more worried about Hill/Watkins/Hardman?We can lose one of those for 2-3 weeks without a major disruption but losing Mahomes, especially for the Bills , ensures the loss.

Well good. Remember, I'm not the one freaking out about the season being over.

[wazu]

Well is it fair for the chiefs to have 16k fans? While others can have 0

Not fair at all that other team's cities/states impose BS and seemingly arbitrary regulations, or that teams simply don't care enough to make the necessary accommodations. It's also not fair that we have Patrick Mahomes.

Going to have to have a playoff bubble it looks like. And frankly this shouldn't be any different than any other year as far as injury or Covid goes, no asterisk needed.

Look at what's happening to the Titans. That can very easily happen to any team in the league. And the only reason I'm using insults is because you guys are fucking morons.

This guy has been dry humping me up and down the field for 60 minutes but don't go shake hands after the game.....

And you believe that latter is the problem?

[O.city]

Outside in quick contacts like that the probability of spread is basically zero. It's probably a good idea not to do it just to be safe, but I woudln't be too worried about it.

[baitism]

COVID is absolutely not a health risk to any NFL player (with maybe 1 or 2 exceptions). This whole thing is an exercise in stupidity. Even fat, old President Trump overcame it in a couple days. Pat isn't getting the 'rona from a ten second conversation with an asymptomatic person.

Then the GM's ability to put together a deep and talented team is on full display, as are the coaches' abilities to coach up players and implement a proper game plan.

Hell no. That's the last thing I want. Read my earlier posts. I literally said they should pause the season for a few weeks and come up with a better plan. I said that in this very thread. If they don't do that, shit is just going to keep getting worse and sooner or later the law will get involved. I don't want that. I want us to become the 2nd team in history to go undefeated and win the Super Bowl.

Unless that plan includes successfully eliminating the virus then the rest of your ideas about this are pointless.

[TwistedChief]

I think of someone is gonna cry about a handshake or hug after these same guys just played tackle football for 60 minutes you have your priorities a little off-kilter.

There are actions that are part of the playing the game.

Then there are actions that are unnecessary like handshakes after the game.

Living in a covid world often requires limiting less-than-essential activities. Is this really so hard to understand? Does this have anything whatsoever to do with anyone's priorities?

Take it to the extreme. Every player shakes every other players' hand on the opposing team after the game. Would you agree that virus transmission would be more prevalent and we'd thus be less likely to have a full season? Wouldn't that suck?

[ping2000]

That's really about what you are saying. I know it isn't..but it is.

False.

That's my opinion. I wasn't asking a true or false question. If you want to look at this as a normal season go ahead but no one other than fans of SB winning team is going to take this season that serious.

[displacedinMN]

No, you really didn't.

we won....so......


6 feet away for more that 15 min. He should be fine.

[FloridaMan88]

All of the Chiefs have continued to test negative as of this morning.

[Mahomes_Is_God]

Sorry I missed it, is the Titans entire roster infected? Oh no its 9 out of what 65?

Speaking of morons.

It was a bit of an exaggeration. I was using it to prove a point. We could have multiple players infected and we wouldn't know about it until way later. That's my whole point. You guys seem to lack the understanding that this virus is stealthy. It takes time to come up positive.

[mr. tegu]

It just sounds like you are hedging your bets in case the Chiefs don’t win so you can believe we would have won in a regular season.

So you’re telling me that if the Chiefs lose the SB, we’re just going to immediately disqualify the credibility of the opponent’s win?

Watch an episode of Inside The NFL and tell me that these players aren’t still competing their asses off.

[Marcellus]

Pretty sure I'm more aware of these things including protocols, incubation times, and testing than you are. I deal with it daily.

I agree with this. The likelihood that he'll have contracted enough of the viral load - even if Gilmore was contagious at that point - is pretty low. But now Mahomes is going to be the poster boy for post-game on-field activity and what not to do.

You say that like we're immune. We probably have an outbreak too because of ****ing Gilmore.

That’s the part that made no sense — we know it can take up to 10 days for a person who is exposed to test positive. The fact that Pats players are now positive isn’t surprising at all, just like it shouldn’t be surprising if KC starts having positives a week from now.

On the other side of the ledger you have the Vikings who didn’t get any positives from playing the Titans. Not sure if their QB hung out with anyone who later came down with it though. Letting the players mingle after the game was really stupid.

To be honest, he deserves some criticism. But maybe it can turn into a good thing overall. High profile example of bad behavior. Maybe the coaches and organizations will be way more strict across the entire league about all the postgame chatting, hugging, etc.

The NFL was stupid to play the game in the first place. This makes me furious.

I said this in the game is on thread and people thought it was stupid. Not a lot of common sense in here. People cared more about playing one game than the safety of our players and missing several weeks. What I said was that the nfl was risking their reputation on how they handle Covid by playing this game. We know that it can take up to 10 days to test positive. There was zero reason to believe that Cam could test positive and no one else on the team would. The NFL was foolish to play that game and it’s gonna come back to bite them hard.

For those saying they were outside so it’s fine is absolutely not true. It’s why the cdc says you should still be 6 feet apart. If your breathing that close to someone’s face like he was with Mahomes being outside doesn’t protect you.

CDC's definition of "close contact" when it comes to a potential COVID-19 exposure:

Link: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/php/contact-tracing/contact-tracing-plan/appendix.html#contact

Someone who was within 6 feet of an infected person for at least 15 minutes starting from 2 days before illness onset (or, for asymptomatic patients, 2 days prior to specimen collection) until the time the patient is isolated.

[Chiefnj2]

I’m looking forward to the playoffs when Henne faces off against Robert Griffin Jr in the AFC and Geno Smith vs. Jordan Love battle it out in the NFC,

They need to bubble up.

[tatorhog]

None of this makes any sense to me.

if its so bad, just pull the plug on the whole damn thing and let it pass.

I don't understand the need for masks by coaches on the sidelines when players active or not, do not wear masks. There is no consistency. Its dumb, Either its bad enough for PPE or its not. I also don't fully understand the logic of NE taking two planes. Ok, so you want separation between exposed and not exposed, but then mush them all together on the field where they are sweating and in close contact. And somehow thats less "dangerous" as coaches not wearing PPE. If it was serious enough to take two planes, then why field the questionable players at all?

Do we as fans get to see a quality product or not? If its going to be a week in and week out hodgepodge of covid-itis, it sucks the fun out of it. I really don't want to see my team suddenly field a half-assed roster of practice squad level guys, nor do i really want to see the reverse were we curbstomp a juco-esque team.

[tk13]

I'd be skeptical such a short interaction would cause Mahomes to get it. Ta'amu getting it is still probably a bigger deal. That said, if Mahomes actually got it from Gilmore you may not know until this weekend. I'm not particularly shocked that Gilmore got it... you might see other players get it too which is why some people thought it was dumb to play that game Monday Night. If Cam spread it at all, you may not know the extent of it until later this week.

The biggest deal is what's going on with the Titans. If they're still having cases and it's because they broke the rules, not only this week's game is in trouble but next week's could be too because it could start spreading it all over again. Not sure what the NFL does there. You just can't play a bunch of doubleheaders like the St. Louis Cardinals did.

I agree that this interaction is a minuscule risk to Patrick. Minuscule risk notwithstanding, its still a totally unnecessary risk.

None of this makes any sense to me.

if its so bad, just pull the plug on the whole damn thing and let it pass.

I don't understand the need for masks by coaches on the sidelines when players active or not, do not wear masks. There is no consistency. Its dumb, Either its bad enough for PPE or its not. I also don't fully understand the logic of NE taking two planes. Ok, so you want separation between exposed and not exposed, but then mush them all together on the field where they are sweating and in close contact. And somehow thats less "dangerous" as coaches not wearing PPE. If it was serious enough to take two planes, then why field the questionable players at all?

Do we as fans get to see a quality product or not? If its going to be a week in and week out hodgepodge of covid-itis, it sucks the fun out of it. I really don't want to see my team suddenly field a half-assed roster of practice squad level guys, nor do i really want to see the reverse were we curbstomp a juco-esque team.

This was how it was always going to be. Football as a sport doesn't really lend itself to preventing spread of a virus. Not that any sport does, but at least baseball players are generally far apart on a field. NFL teams have so many meetings indoors and guys practice together and spend so much time together, there's just no way.

I think it was John Harbaugh or McVay that said it during the offseason. There's no way to actually run an NFL team and comply with safety protocols. Plus now we're actually going into fall when the virus will get worse. If you don't put teams in a bubble you're just going to deal with these small outbreaks all year and teams will be shorthanded at times.

I HATE the forfeit option. You can’t hand Buffalo a win like that if you wouldn’t do the same for Pittsburgh. Start doing that and the season is going to have some real asterisk points.

If the bubble option was feasible, they'd have done it. People just become to fatigued by it or really by any restrictions for that long. It's why this was always gonna be so tough for all of us, not just playerss.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

I would rather see the season last into April than see a single forfeit.

I agree, I don't think anyone would have agreed to the bubble. I was just saying if you don't do that, you just have to deal with stuff like this. This season was always going to have issues. I think they can still have a season. But is it possible you get into important playoff seeding games and have key players missing time? Yeah it is. Same is true of the playoffs unless they decide to do a short bubble like baseball did.

Isn't there an incubation period? Hopefully Gilmore wasn't capable of spreading the virus yet even if he had it.

[PAChiefsGuy]

I dont follow NHL but lets keep in mind NBA has less players per team and they also are in the playoffs which means even less players.

[BigRedChief]

Isn't there an incubation period? Hopefully Gilmore wasn't capable of spreading the virus yet even if he had it.10-14 days before you are cleared. It would be considered "normal" to be exposed, have no symptoms and then test positive in 5 days.

[DRM08]

I would rather see the season last into April than see a single forfeit.

Agreed 100%. Seems like they could have added an extra 3-4 bye weeks for every team. This would have given them more flexibility to deal with COVID postponed games compared to the traditional schedule.

[BigRedChief]

I dont follow NHL but lets keep in mind NBA has less players per team and they also are in the playoffs which means even less players.I was addressing the "since its physical it will never work" part.

The increase in player, support staff and coaches part would be a logistical nightmare but America can do anything like this if it wants too. OHHH its going to be too hard to figure out a NFL bubble, lets not even try. Lets just let season fail instead.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Just looking at the pace we are on now, it won’t be a surprise at all if every team gets at least one postponed game. So yeah I think the NFL needs to recognize that there’s much more to come and just add the extra week or two.

The NFL and NFLPA talked about putting all teams in hotels last week for the reminder of the year. If this continues I expect that to happen if they want to have a season and players continue to get paid.

So it would be wonky, but if the Raiders can't play this weekend and the Titans can't, couldn't the Chiefs and Bills just play this weekend?

[Demonpenz]

Just cancel this shit already

Just move the Chiefs/Bills game to Sunday. Problem solved.

Thursday games are bullshit anyway.

[fan4ever]

At the end of the game I thought "Why are they letting people shake hands and hug and shit?" Not everyone came in contact with each other during the game. Stupid to expose more people to each other as absolutely necessary.

[mnchiefsguy]

We’ll be fine for a few weeks with Henne at the helm.

Shut the fuck up and don't even go there.

[vonBobo]

That's my opinion. I wasn't asking a true or false question. If you want to look at this as a normal season go ahead but no one other than fans of SB winning team is going to take this season that serious.

It is already happening, Pat fan believes Cam would have won the Chiefs game.

[staylor26]

Who the fuck cares?

You could do this every single year with injury.

[PAChiefsGuy]

They might have. Our defense is the reason we won the game and that was largely due to their bad QB play.

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

Maurice hurst is the raiders player

[RetiredSeniorChief]

All this testing is just stupid, a positive test with no symptoms is not a case. These are healthy adults with basically no risk of serious consequences from this China Cold. So what if they have a cold for a few days.

Yea obviously has nothing to do with the fact that our D is playing amazing and is top 3 in scoring.

True. Rodgers & Green Bay barely beat KC without Mahomes. Texans & Colts took advantage of Mahomes’ gimpy ankle.

[RetiredSeniorChief]

I spent 30 years basically in the business of life/death risk management. The risk this virus poses is essentially nothing in the big scheme of things unless you are over 80 and bed ridden already. Getting in a hot tub poses a higher risk for death to someone like Andy Reid than this virus. It's all media driven Bravo Sierra.

Thats been my biggest concern is Andy catching the rona

I can't help but think Bellicheat encouraged post game mingling by all the second planers to try and fuck us

[Bill Brasky]

And now the reality that the virus can incubate for 3-5 days while showing negative tests sets in. It's too bad the NFL wasn't more prepared. It's not worth risking Andy's health for a broken season that no one is taking seriously.

A ring in any sport this year is super impressive. So much more going on and so many distractions etc.

LeBron’s ring he’s about to get is every bit as impressive as any of them maybe except the 3-1 comeback.

There is a virus, and it does slam some people. We have data now, and know who needs to be protected.

The reason so many people are not following the data and the science and moving forward is due to politics. That’s all.

I knew something was wrong watching the SB ring ceremony, no distancing or masks until the big cameras are on.

I wonder how many players the league is expecting to get sick this season? Or how about the number of at risk coaches there are and the likelihood of serious disease or death occuring? I have to imagine every industry knows these numbers by now.

[MahiMike]

I guess im in the minority, not really sweating this.. it was bound to happen. People, players, and coaches will eventually get it. Were all probably gonna get it. The ****ing president got it.

Play on.

I took a bunch of shit for saying this:

There are still Titans players getting positive tests. A tenth one today. I should not need to explain the reasoning to cancel this game. They won’t though. It’s stupid

Monday?

That seems incredibly shortsighted considering they are waiting on test results by Sunday. If you have the opportunity for Tuesday why not give yourself an extra day considering that some people could still be in the incubation period.

On second thought who am I kidding the NFL is just going to play this game come Hell or Highwater if there is no positive test tomorrow






You all know who you are that called me an idiot.


Now Mahomes is on Covid watch.


Some of you let your desire to see the Chiefs play override your reason.

Gilmore was on Disease Plane. The **** is he talking to players after the game face to face for?

Exactly. People aren't used to this shit. Pat has gone his whole life without experiencing a pandemic like this. He's not used to it. If people try to condemn him for showing good sportsmanship then fuck em. They ain't no good and they ain't somebody I would associate with.

Exactly.

UNTIL it becomes a problem IN the playoffs, it's not a problem.

That being said, if they start canceling games instead of postponing them, that's a problem NOW.

If they're going to move games to the end of the season, move ALL of them to the end of the season.

That said Mahomes needs to get into an apartment stat.

Just looking at the pace we are on now, it won’t be a surprise at all if every team gets at least one postponed game. So yeah I think the NFL needs to recognize that there’s much more to come and just add the extra week or two.

Here is a problem of adding weeks to the end. If the Chiefs get the Number 1 seed and say they extend the season two to three weeks to accommodate teams having Covid, then potentially the Chiefs, or whoever is the Number 1 seed doesn't play for 3 to 4 weeks. That is a huge layoff.

Because risk is variable and seemingly random (especially to the general public). It is tough to justify safety measures until something goes terribly wrong.

Reminds me of the space shuttle disasters. Escalated risks were ignored in both examples and the people that made the decision to accept the risk had to watch their colleagues die in a fireball.

Watch that challenger doc on netflix one of those dudes said he'd do it again...real sympathetic man.

God I hope they can get this season in.

Feels like the only thing that can stop us from winning the super bowl is this fucking virus.

All this testing is just stupid, a positive test with no symptoms is not a case. These are healthy adults with basically no risk of serious consequences from this China Cold. So what if they have a cold for a few days.

Does any Planeteer know if the NFL is using a specific lab for their tests?

Or ...

Has the NFL selected specific regional labs to conduct the tests?

Or ...

Do the teams use nearby labs?

Thats so irresponsible. Very disappointing. These players need to follow the damn rules or there is not going to be football. You can go look in the game thread, I was complaining about greeting the players post game.<iframe scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets/widget_iframe.96fd96193cc66c3e11d4c5e4c7c7ec97.html?origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chiefsplanet.com" title="Twitter settings iframe" style="display: none;" frameborder="0"></iframe><iframe id="rufous-sandbox" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="true" style="position: absolute; visibility: hidden; display: none; width: 0px; height: 0px; padding: 0px; border: medium none;" title="Twitter analytics iframe" frameborder="0"></iframe>

I barely hugged my mom because I was afraid of the tiny chance I might kill her. These guys can freaking put a lid on the love fest after the game for a while.

He tested positive Friday, didn't he? If so, it's likely that Mahomes would have tested positive by now.

God, I hope he doesn't.

Give it a couple more days.
