Look, I'm as desperate as anyone else for the Bills to win. I want them to kick Tennessee's teeth in, and I think karma would like that as well. I'm just very uncomfortable with a lot of the overconfidence I'm seeing from Bills fans and just from fans around the league who are thinking there's going to be a big advantage for the Bills here. I just don't see that at all, and I'm afraid that it's going to be a big surprise to everyone if the Titans really get after us. I'm scared to death of "What happened to the Bills?" commentary the next morning.

I think we're looking at most of the COVID players being back.

Tasker agrees with me that the psychological aspect of this game is concerning. The Bills will have their hands full, and the Titans are likely to be charged up. Why would the line favor the Bills? The schedule change only benefits the Titans, and embattled teams usually respond extremely well in these situations. Bills fans are in for a rude awakening Tuesday night IMO.

Unfortunately, FOX already has the doubleheader that week, with the 4:25 Buck/Aikman game being Green Bay and Tampa Bay. There's no way they move that game. None at all. So, if the game is played Sunday, Bills fans are almost certainly going to be screwed.

Better start warming up.

If Vrabel is going to be suspended, you'd think that would happen before they're back in the facility. So I bet he won't be suspended.

How could it not be a daytime game? There's no way they run it alongside Sunday Night Football. We're losing the showcase game against the Chiefs unless the Titans have positive tests. Just not right.

Yeah, great question. There needs to be a threshold somewhere. Can't tell Bills/Chiefs on Monday/Tuesday that they're playing on Thursday.

How exactly will it be national when the slate of national games for Sunday is already set? It CERTAINLY won't be a night game.

Why in the hell is the Chiefs game not moved to Monday night? Gives us more rest and retains national spotlight. What's going on? Why does NE get afternoon games moved to Monday night twice, but the Bills have their premier night game of the season moved to a generic Sunday daytime slot?

Nah, they'll probably have their first round of players back off the COVID list because of the delay. Bills screwed again.

I knew they would do something before TNF tonight because they don't want to run false Chiefs-Bills promos.

I predict: The Tuesday night game will not be nationally broadcast, unlike the Patriots game. The Chiefs game will not be nationally broadcast and will not feature Buck/Aikman. So the Bills lose their big national night game vs. the Chiefs because of the Titans' negligence. Oh, and the Chiefs get extra rest.

Breon Borders, the former Bills CB?

That would be completely unfair. That's punishing the Bills for the Titans having to forfeit. 14-2 beats 13-2 every time. If the Titans forfeit, the Bills HAVE to be given a win.

Options I see: 1. Play on Monday or Tuesday, pushing Bills-Chiefs to Saturday night or Sunday 2. Create a Week 18 and play then 3. Suspend with indefinite "TBD" designation and see what other games get this same designation throughout year 4. Cancel outright, no forfeit 5. Forfeit (very unlikely) Options 1, 2, and 4 are unfair to the Bills. Option 5 is unfair to other teams. Therefore, I predict it will be option 3, minimizing immediate impact and waiting until we see what other games are similarly affected throughout the year. Of course, it could be argued that this is unfair to the Bills because they might have to play the Titans at full strength later rather than in a very weakened state now. As for paychecks if the game is canceled, I bet the Bills find a way to pay the players. Not their fault.

Here we go. Thread about to explode...

Bracing for the morning news avalanche...

How many years in a row are we going to have to deal with extremely thin CB depth before this team starts carrying another corner? I have been complaining about this for 2 years. I don't understand why CB, one of the most important positions, is the one position they don't prioritize. 10 OL? Really?

This is disturbing

Maybe he'll unblock me now!

Please explain how that is possible. The Titans already had their bye and have zero flexibility left on their schedule.

I don't see any source on suspension?

Am I the only one concerned that the Bills might get punished because of the McKenzie video? Am I missing something? Why were McKenzie and Barkley maskless in that video? Aren't they required to wear masks inside the facility?

The Titans already had their bye. There is zero flexibility left on Tennessee's schedule. The game gets played this week, in a Week 18, or not at all.
