Walking Tall

It will give him more time to take selfies with fans during the game.

The Bills are a good team and it will matter.

So, the Bills get screwed because of the Tennessee Titans.

The exact same things as with what we are seeing with Tennessee. The League office doesn't have a hard-on for the Bills.

If Herbert continues to play well, the Chargers organization better think long and hard before replacing Lynn.

Every 4 weeks, starting with week 8, the NFL should have a bye week to hold make up games and let teams rest.

Until one of those teams has a positive test the day before a game.

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.
