I'm less worried about the advantage to the Chiefs than I am the punishment for the Titans. I hope they bury their asses.

I know, still...would be nice, and fair. If they only suspend Vrabel, I'm not convinced that's actually a penalty. After watching him march his 0-3 kicker out last year for the longest kick of the day, I think he may be....um....special. Many questions remain about the Titans, including just how hard the league is going to hammer the team for reported failures to follow COVID-19 guidelines. It’s possible that coach Mike Vrabel and General Manager Jon Robinson could both be suspended, that players could face discipline, and that the team could forfeit draft picks. The league is serious about demanding that health and safety protocols be followed, and it appears they weren’t followed in Tennessee. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/10/09/titans-have-no-new-positive-tests/

Be nice if the league could hand down some discipline before the game. Like, maybe some suspensions.

God bless you early adopters.

Man THAT would be great punishment....make them play, only with players who didn't violate the rules. They might have to suit up their entire PS. And we'd have Barkley in by the end of qtr 3.

I got a fiver on the go fund me.

OFF WITH THEIR HEADS

What if they have to put an asterisk on our perfect season????

We'd have whipped their asses anyway. There...I said it.

Anyone who violated the rules should be suspended for our game.

Sounds like they actively ignored direct orders. Off with their heads!!!!

Jeez they literally used them as an example. Now, use them as an example of punishment!

FORFEIT Music City Karma is a &^$%#.

There were also reports on PFT their linebacker coach knew he was potentially exposed, and didn't notify anyone. In addition to reports they weren't wearing masks reliably in their facility.

Thing is the memo from the commish mentioning forfeits and draft picks came the day AFTER they inspected the Titans. Based on that, I'm not even sure they'll make them forfeit our game....I think they'll say "whichever team is NEXT". OTOH I am totally happy if they apply it retroactively.

OLD but so we know what the issue reportedly was: Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the league and the NFL Players Association are investigating whether the Titans failed to follow the protocols developed jointly by the NFL and the NFLPA. “This isn’t a failure of the protocols; it is a failure to follow the protocols,” an unnamed source told Schefter. The investigation reportedly is focused on outside linebackers coach Shane Bowen. Per the report, Bowen “was exposed to individuals who had been exposed” to the virus. The rules require all personnel to report that they were in the presence of someone who has the virus, or to not report for work if that has occurred. The probe also is exploring whether the Titans were diligent when it comes to wearing masks in the facility. Frankly, based on the constant images of coaches and sideline personnel failing to properly wear masks when in the presence of TV cameras during games, it should surprise no one to learn that mask irregularities have happened and will happen at most if not all team facilities. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/10/04/nfl-nflpa-explore-whether-titans-violated-protocols/

One thing a forfeit would accomplish tho.....it would show the league is serious if you violate protocols. I bet you'd see every mask above the nose and every rule followed to the letter. And it appears, with several teams just ignoring them, they need a hard handslap.

I don't want it I will take it!

I will gracefully accept their forfeiture.

Coaches still don't count towards the cap yeah? Make him an offer he can't refuse. The continuity for Josh and crew is worth big bucks IMO.

Maybe by the end of 2020, DeShaun is seen as a guy who made most of his hay due to simply having Hopkins available....

their coach...he sucks. Wow.

barf comeon bills

I thought we were very aggresive for a bit

come on d you got this
