They did practice yesterday, so if a coach tested positive, how is this not a game-altering issue?

I thought you had to have two days of practice-- or 2 straight days?

I'd really like to hear from McDermott and Beane on this. What is their input (if any) on this situation with the league?

And the Chiefs on a late Monday afternoon? I definitely won't be able to see the beginning of that. Does the NFL care?

At this point-- does it matter?

CBS halftime coverage-- first thing was a promo for Tuesday's game. That is what it's all about.

NFL is clearly looking out for the players' welfare. How many prime time games (5:00?) can we jam into this makeshift (desperation) schedule?

NFL cancelled Denver vs. NE out of concern for player safety. Obviously not so concerned about Bills' health.

Hopefully this is going on behind the scenes. This has to be the last straw, right?

I hate to cite a Patriot for this, but Jason McCourty questions whether the NFL or NFLPA are concerned with player safety. He thinks they are more interested in setting covid protocols that allow games to be played, without enough concern for player health. I have to believe many players feel this way at this point. Story on Espn.com

The Bills have been jerked around due to the Titans' problems--- plus there is the matter of the workout that violated rules. Those players have not been punished (Should be suspended-- that would include Tannehill). Meanwhile, the Bills may be without their two best defensive players (Milano is out, White is a huge question mark right now). And now Tennessee is acting like they are the injured party.

Vrabel is hoping to get some of the Covid- affected players back. In addition, I believe Tennessee is allowing 8,000 fans to attend.

I still feel the Tennessee game should have been postponed to a later date. If I were a player, I would not want to go there now and play a football game.

I'm beginning to agree with those who believe a pause is called for at this point--- before the whole season is wiped out.

I thought their attitude was quite arrogant right from the start.

Bills shouldn't be playing on Tuesday. This game should have been postponed until later in the year.

I don't want the Bills anywhere near this mess for the foreseeable future.

I agree with this. If I were a player, I wouldn't want to get near that infestation for a long period of time. A couple extra days (even if they manage to have no more cases) would not put me at ease. Reschedule for a later date, or just move on.

Thursday is normally the last full regular practice day. You'd think everyone would need to know.

I thought Haskins played pretty well on Sunday. Team is desperate.

No way this game can be pushed back due to the KC game.

Right. I remember the Yankees ended up playing the Orioles (I think they were scheduled to play the Phils).

Reminds me of the Marlins situation in baseball. Difference is, they could take time off and make up games with doubleheaders. Obviously not possible here.

Just can't make anything easy.
