Five prime time games and luckily we avoid the holidays. I like my holidays to be stress free.

Seahawks may not be the last game. Some saying week 6 Sunday night.

Sunday Nighter on my son's birthday. That is the game I'm targeting for our return to our annual game, just hoping that the border restrictions are lifted by then. Currently any travel outside of Canada and we're required to quarantine for two weeks upon return.

Quarantine recommendations for fully vaccinated people will probably change in the up and coming weeks to months. It will be up to individual countries though.

schedule maker didn't do us any favors.

thursday night game after a 4:25 game? against our biggest rivals, damn.


why the ravens in week 18? game could be virtually meaningless game if one of the teams has clinched.
not a smart move

Oof. That's a tough arrangement. Could get off to a decent start, but the last 2 months is brutal. 11 straight after the bye.

My understanding is that Canada is pretty locked down right now.

And behind on vaccination since they didn't have internal development or big bucks to cut to the front of the line for distribution.

My parents are in their late sixties & early 70s. They got their first shot, but were told it might be up to 4 months for their 2nd shot and that they might not get the same type for their first shot. That was about a month ago though, so maybe things are getting better on the supply side?

We're itching to see my parents and in laws. But it's not currently worth it with the quarantining requirement in Canada (has to be in a hotel from what I understand) and we're also not totally sure how easy it would be to get back to the US (for non-citizen's like us...except my 3 year old).

But assuming that T.O. is still in Ontario, it sounds much better than what I've heard about Montreal (and maybe the rest of Quebec?). But I find it really hard to tell what's legit reporting since every site seems to have a pretty strong political bias.

The Steelers played playoff teams 9 times last season and were 5-4 in those games (including playoff). A split like that this season is absolutely possible and should be good enough for a playoff spot.

Will there be anything left in the tank in Wk 19? ....good question.

[steeler_fan_in_t.o.]

I do like the Week 7 Bye. Good timing.

Yes, on the bright side the team has a bye week this year.

Hopefully it plays out that way!

Canada has botched this pandemic and vaccine horribly since the beginning. Ontario, the most populous province in Canada, currently has a stay-at-home order that has been extended again until June 2. In terms of percentage of population vaccinated, we have less than 5% with both doses. Because of failures to secure vaccines, Canada has a 4 month delay between first and second dose. We are hoping that we will finally be able to cross the border freely, and return without restriction, at some point during the NFL season.
