[iinii]

One or two two days is going to make that big of a difference? Can you say tip of the iceberg? Get your popcorn; the game of the week may truly become the only game of the week.

I'd by lying if I said I wasn't happy we are now getting the Titans on a short week, assuming they play on Tuesday on not Monday. 

 

COVID. Its a risk for everyone. 

 

Agree with you Big Hands....short week is music to my ears.  Even Monday means less time to prep.

 

And yeah it's a HUGE risk......Raiders should receive more than a slap on the wrist for their shenanigans. 

 

Go BILLS!

[aristocrat]

Wonder if bills titans gets moved to Monday night?  But that would screw us for the Thursday night game which is that week so maybe we get moved to Sunday?  I might actually like that so we get time to prepare for the chiefs

They are delaying it to close the titans facility long enough and to give titans practice time, so yes

This could really mess up the Titan's season. Two important conference matchups within five or six days after losing several days of practice.

They could easily win both games too.  I don’t see much an issue what day they play

Now I believe it

Not really - there is precedence to move a Sunday game to Monday as needed.

I agree. They won’t move two sets of games just to give titans more time. Deal with it this week and move on

bills went to  Detroit to play the jests after the big snow a few years back I recall  And, no practices....but they won anyhow.  Lions fans got into the game for free I also recall.

Yep they did everything remotely that week. No one cried for them and nothing was moved after that

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?

Likely won't be televised nationally if on Monday:

 

[mannc]

Not unprecedented and not that big of a deal.  I seem to recall a Bills-Jets game getting moved to Monday night (and Detroit) because of weather a couple years ago.

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

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. It’s not making up for the same amount of practice, it’s giving *some* practice. They aren’t entitled to the same amount. They all signed up for what could occur.

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.

Yes

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

“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?

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

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.

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.

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.
