Wasn't it on the other foot when the Jets game got moved to Detroit?

Were the facilities closed to all practice and activities prior to the game?

Yes they did everything remotely from iPads. Closed or not they couldn’t get there

As I recall they were virtual. The snow was too much to handle for any commute.

I don’t feel strongly about anything. The teams are aware they signed up for what might not be a smooth season. The only way they will need to move it to later in the season is if a whole position group is impacted beyond the team’s ability to substitute for a game situation. Think 3 Olinemen. That’s not the case. There are still more days of testing to go, but at this time the contingency plan of Monday or Tuesday is what makes the most sense - no one claimed it was ideal. 

Yes

Apparently you do feel strongly about something. If a position group gets impacted then you are amenable to changing the schedule.

I’m sure someone will swoop in and grab it. I’m guessing CBS has the call now? Makes sense to keep it as they are already doing the ground work.

I can’t believe you have under 1 million posts.  How is this possible?

 

Rollover like NFL did with NFLPA.

[whatdrought]

And here I was hoping for Tannehill, Henry, and Brown to all be out 2-3 weeks.

yeah I'm sure they won't be able to figure it out in a week.🙄

Tuesday is also on the table 

 

But that might give the Titans only 5 days to prepare for us!  Such a shame....

“The Lions’ practice facility will be available to the Bills on Friday, and moving the game to Monday night will enable the Bills to practice on Friday and Saturday and have their walk-through on Sunday,” the N.F.L. spokesman Michael Signora said.

So iPads were used at Ford Field?

One or two days of practice is going to make up for normal preparedness?  And it looks like another Titan has tested positive which is more to my point. At this point no one knows how many Titans may be infected. If the Bills’ facilities were closed until Saturday or Sunday and they were given two days to prepare, I bet the song around here would be quite a bit different. Would you still feel so strongly if the shoe was on the other foot? 

 

We did it before during the snow storm - no complaints- we had to accept it and move forward.

Now reported the game will be played Monday or Tuesday. 

Good... Good... less time to prepare for the Bills.

It's because ESPN's contract likely includes a clause that games can't be televised nationally (outside of Sunday Ticket plus local market affiliates) on a Monday. Similar to our snow game in 2014.

That’s not my “feeling” - that’s the process

I doubt ESPN would allow that on Monday opposite their games.  Maybe the Tuesday could be shown, but I doubt they want competition on Monday.

I will ask you once again, you won’t sing a different song if the Bills are forced into a scenario such as this?

No, i will continue state the facts. I expect bumps in the road. I don’t have an opinion on what the nfl should or shouldn’t do regarding Covid and even if did it doesn’t belong here.

if it’s Tuesday I’d venture a guess we would end up Monday against them
