Unless they fine the owner 15 million or so....

If the Titans forfeit and the Bills players aren't paid....that will cause big problems.

Our defensive rankings would have to jump.

I agree with you about the forfeit. That won't happen. They will go to win percentage which will be a very unfair thing, IMO, when you are talking about 15 to 16 games. That's way too significant compared to baseball.

On to Kansas City. Might as well start that thread up.

So, you are against the league taking their time to make a huge decision like this? What benefit will it have for anyone if they made it yesterday compared to say, today or tomorrow?

Really?

Because the Bills were the Chiefs.

The only way the season should be extended is if the league takes a break for one week, every four weeks of the season after the eight week mark, for either make up games or teams get to rest. To do it at the end of the season would be a competitive disadvantage for teams that have to wait it out for a Tennessee team to finish their schedule. No game action for three or four weeks (the top team in the conference) is too long without playing.

Read the very first paragraph of the NFL Conduct Policy, linked below, and tell me the players involved in that practice should not get a suspension. This may be written for crimes but the very first few paragraphs cover this situation. https://static.nfl.com/static/content/public/photo/2017/08/11/0ap3000000828506.pdf

They'll acknowledge it when they dole out their punishment to the Titans.

Depleted as in what way, Chandler? Are they making those that participated in that practice sit out or is it just the positive tests that have to sit out?

As would I.

Why can't the NFL apply it? It's not like anyone voted for it to become a rule in the first place, did they?

Give the Titans the option. Play the game with masks on or forfeit.

If the NFL starts handing out forfeit wins they may as well just shut the whole damned league down because there will be many more positive tests, leaguewide, in the near future.

Why not? The Broncos are playing their 3rd string QB. Maybe we can squeeze a double header in and play the Jets right after? LOL

This will force the NFL into league-wide byes. Maybe one every quarter of the season for makeup games.

I never said Edmunds problem was strictly against the run. What I said is he looked like a chicken with its head cut off multiple times in the first half and I won’t back off from that. He seemed confused, in general, whether it be when dropping into coverage or playing the run. I don’t care if the Bills are playing a strict dime and he is the only LB on the field. When a team doesn’t force a punt for 7 quarters, the guy in the middle is going to be a reason for that.

This has Baltimore written all over it.

Goodell came out with some harsh statements concerning penalties regarding players/teams this week. Like others have brought up, maybe this player just had contact with someone that had Covid and the Rayduhs don’t want to be his test rat.

The NFL is hoping this wasn’t spread to any Bills. They will have a headache on their hands if the Bills have an issue and can’t play in Tennessee. (If the Raiders player tested positive) But if it’s just one Raider I am not really worried.

Brett Favre/John Elway hybrid.

I really get into the Beaver when I see it.

Grew up on Van Halen. RIP, Eddie. You were an amazing musician.
