Absolutely.. I just have faith in the NFL protocols as evidenced by the Vikings having no positive cases. (knock on wood it stays that way) It's absolutely frustrating though, especially on the heels of the Titans issues.

Apparently we are not allowed to discuss specifics of how COVID works, but in short, the incubation period is such that daily testing is not enough in this case. If Carr is around teammates today, that's potential exposure that wouldn't be detected on a test until next Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be allowed to sue the ***** out of your job for that. That puts you in danger and any clients/customers.

TigerJ Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 3 minutes ago, Giuseppe Tognarelli said: Chris Brown might get suspended again after that explosion. Wow! Nah! Passion in reality TV is not a bad thing. It does put the league in a difficult spot. The league made a very public strong stand about fighting COVID-19, and has very strict protocols. A slap on the wrist penalty (a fine) for the players in Oakland who violated league protocol will undermine the credibility of the league, but at the same time, they would love to have a competitive game between the Raiders and Bills. I think the league will have to make a choice. If they want the protocols to be taken seriously, they have to suspend/quarantine the players involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Bills need to pile up a win here and get to 4-0. Vegas isn't a bad team, they should be in playoff contention on the fringes but the Bills need to in my opinion pile up this win to go 4-0 into a tough stretch of games. After the Raiders they play a hard out in the Titans, a Super Bowl favorite in the Chiefs, a gimmie against the Jets and then the Pats and Seahawks two very good teams. Ideally I would like to see the Bills get to 5-0 and then go 2-2 at a minimum (beat the Jets and then one of those other three preferably the Pats) in that next really tough 4 games to get to 7-2. Then the schedule does ease up where they have two winnable games against the Cardinals and Chargers where they could beef back up to 9-2 going into the final 5 games where they have 2 "gimmie" games against the Broncos and Fins and a tough but doable stretch of games against the Steelers, Pats and 49ers. Ideally if they can go 3-2 in that final 5 games they could get to 12 wins which should set them up to win the division. Overall it is such a huge game to get fat on this early schedule and beat a respectable but not so great team in the Raiders. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnycage46 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) Rich Eisen had a segment this week where he was discussing the 3-0 teams and how many of them had some lucky bounces (he wasn't saying they were 3-0 because of luck...but just that seasons go like that with lucky bounces here and there). He mentioned some things about the Bills like the PI call last week (which I don't think was luck per se). But it did get me thinking, what if some Raiders DO get suspended/benched for Sunday, then the Titans are playing us on a short week with very little recent practice...it's kind of crazy how things are setting up for the Bills for once.
