I have a feeling you're going to need it either way. 😉

I agree with this. I would also not award those as wins to their opponents but rather leave the Tennessee week as an extra bye week for each of those teams. They would all play 15 games and win percentage would be used. Further, I would have the Titans forfeit their 1st Round draft pick in 2021 and 2022 and have them draft last in every round that they still have a draft pick in 2021.

Based on the title, I thought this was going to be a 'fill in the blank' thread: Ref's for the Bills game are... (update - Week 5) ...going to suck like the other four weeks.

Translation: "We don't want any more than the 13,000 enemy fans already in our stadium."

It's about to hit the fan...

Good question but I'm sure Tennessee would prefer that to the league forcing them to forfeit.

I don't know if you watched the after game gathering between the Bills and Raiders before the cameras faded but, at the very end, Josh was standing side by side with a Raiders player (can't remember which one...Zay Jones?), smiling for a photo op. The Raider was masked up but then pulled down his mask for the pic. I yelled at my TV, "JOSH! GET THE HELL OFF THE FIELD!" In any other year, I would have thought nothing of such an innocuous and common occurrence after a game. 2020 'Bizarro World' sucks and is testing everybody's mental health and intestinal fortitude.

I'd be shocked. SHOCKED!...if 'The Hoodie' and Kraft bent/broke/shattered the rules laid down by the league for them and the other 31 teams. 💩 (Sarcasm off)

Porn... 😇

Both of these possibilities are being kicked around by the league.

Apparently a second Vegas player has tested positive, too. I'm starting to get nervous for the Bills...

Points taken. Goodell gets paid $30 million per year to figure out this stuff. Figure it out.

Two Titans now...one still being confirmed.

Monday night would still be pushing it. Tennessee was scheduled to be back in their facility today and now that is out. I think the Bills are about to get their bye week early.

They're going to have to reschedule this game. No way it happens on Sunday now, IMO.

It is in the Sanu household...

We'll see. Kevin Stefanski looks like he's going to be able to finally get all of that talent to play as a cohesive team but every time the Brownies start feeling their oats, they get punched in the mouth by Pittsburgh. They are to the Stillers what the 2000-2018 Bills have been to the Patriots*.

Unless BOB completely destroys Watson by year's end. Sad. Are you crazy?? The Bills should offer their 7th...they are dealing with BOB, after all. 😉

The first thing I noticed was that the attacker appears to be a 'lefty'. I doubt he would have attacked that quickly and violently with his off hand. They should be looking for a southpaw...or a boxer...or both. Does Sly Stallone have a grudge with Rick Moranis? 😉 🤕 Seriously, though...that was a disgusting act of cowardice.

The catchy 'trap game' moniker was proven to be a false narrative years ago. It's just statistically not true: "Using Pro-Football-Reference’s wonderful game finder, I observed every game where a team above .500 played a below .500 team over the past 10 seasons (2002-2011). Over 1359 games, the above .500 team won 79.5% of the time. We must compare the above .500 team’s win percentage in trap games to this base rate of 79.5% in order to see if good teams lose at a statistically significantly higher rate. Limiting the sample to our trap game definition (n=515), the above .500 team won 80.5% of the time, a full percentage point higher than in the full sample. Far from a losing more frequently, as we would expect by the trap game logic, good teams tend to do even better against worse teams the week before they play a good team. However, this difference is not statistically significant: a difference of means t-test yields a t-value of just 0.60. So we fail to reject the null hypothesis that good teams have a different win percentage in trap games than they do in any game against a sub-.500 team." https://harvardsportsanalysis.wordpress.com/2012/11/22/debunking-the-trap-game-and-letdown-game-myths/

Surname...family law firm. We're not deep enough in the South for the latter. 😇
