Instead, I would like to see comments on how the league could manage the playoffs. Would they allow teams to quarantine and stretch the playoffs out over 2-3 months?

I've been a proponent of the NFL pitting all teams in the "bubble" from the beginning of the season (extending the season by a month to let players out of quarantine periodically).

But they never asked for my opinion anyways.

But we're here now, so...

I'd select a single site (thinking Vegas) to put both conference playoff qualifiers into the bubble. I don't see there being any need to switch up the schedule much except to allow two weeks at the front end to make sure all players/coaches/staff/officials test negative prior to entering the bubble.

There is significant community spread of the virus now and the NFL shouldn't run the risk of having another "Denver" situation during the playoffs.

  To be honest, I'm quite surprised we saw ANY football this year. nm

  Stretching it out... I don't see why not... with limitations...

  They should bubble the playoffs

  Ok, but why, exactly? Does that help in some way? (nm)

  NFL playoff bubbles a subject of active discussion as COVID cases rise

  Aha! Sounds like they're coming around to my idea
