Is it a mandatory 14 days on the list? I believe they would be if they have two negative tests after the positive - then they are only out 5 days from the initial positive. This is to control potential false positives. I’m not aware if any of these have been identifued as false positives but i don’t think so Edited October 5, 2020 by YoloinOhio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X # of days with no fever and 2 days of negative testing Players who are put on the list because they tested positive must follow the return protocols listed below. Those who are put on the list because they tested negative but were determined to be in close contact with an infected person must follow the following return protocols: Second negative test within 24 hours of initial negative test Increased symptom monitoring Eight days of daily virus testing Regular testing schedule thereafter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2020 Our Year For Sure Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 In summation, Wednesday is the latest Tennessee can open and still play the game Sunday. So with their being clean Monday, it all comes down to tomorrow's results. If clean tomorrow they'll open Wednesday and play Sunday as scheduled, if there is a positive tomorrow the game must be postponed or forfeited. If they postpone to next Monday night like they did tonight's Pats/Chiefs game, they'll have to also postpone the Bills/Chiefs TNF next week because the Bills will not be asked to play Monday and again on Thursday.

Penfield45 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 going into the NE game we need to be at minimum 6-1. splitting the next two games is fine. That first NE game is going to the biggest game of the season. Its our time to finally put our stamp on the league and make a statement. we cannot claim anything until we beat the patriots 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wjag Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) Moving a game off of Thursday night would cheat the NFL network of a game. I don't see and I'm personally hoping that doesn't happen. I want to keep the schedule as is. I think a later buy is more desirable than an early buy. Let's go Titans, one more day of no positives. Let's do this.

TigerJ Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 The good news: if the game does happen, Tennessee may be missing a number of players due to COVID-19. If they include may key players, Tennessee could be significantly undermanned. That bad news: If they have their key starters on offense, Derrick Henry could be a major headache for them.

Dont Stop Billeiving Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 1 hour ago, H2o said: Absolutely. They are missing a starting CB, DT, and LB. Plus their starting slot WR who's a great player in Humphries. The FB (for a team who is so reliant on Henry and the run game) and the LS could be underrated losses as well. Think I heard that Simmons has been their best player on defense this season so far. For all that are concerned about the Bills defense (myself included), it's worth noting that the Titans seem to have taken an even bigger step back on that side of the call. Per Football Outsiders: 'Speaking of Tennessee and Chicago, they are very low for 3-0 teams before we even start considering opponent adjustments. Each team's three opponents so far are a combined 1-5 in their other games. Tennessee and Chicago rank among the ten lowest-rated 3-0 teams in DVOA history.'

MAJBobby Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 The Game WILL be played if they Titans have another round of Negative Tests today. Facilities will open Wed. Practice Wed, Thurs, Fri - exceeds the minimum of 2 practices needed per week. So Titans game will be played on Sunday. Now the question is does the NFL move what is going to be a Very good Game, KC vs BUF off their OWN Network, (when Thursdays slates have been HORRIBLE so far this year)? I doubt it. so KC would end up playing 3 games in a 10 day window. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missing a long snapper could turn kicking field goals and punting into an unpleasant adventure for them, and the defensive line shortages should make it fairly easy for Buffalo to move the ball on the ground and keep Josh Allen well protected. It doesn't look as if the Titans offense is impacted that much, but then this does not include run of the mill injuries.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 12 hours ago, BillsFan130 said: You think they would make the bills play a Monday/Thursday? You may be right , but I don’t know about that. I would expect the NFLPA to riot if their members were expected to play on a Monday and then again Thursday. I would expect the Bills to file a grievance as well. The players hate Thurs games. Micah Hyde (or Poyer, not sure which) said he normally doesn't start feeling decent until Thurs. So at least if they're playing Sunday and Thursday they have a chance to "get right" before they play again. Playing Monday then Thursday would be total bull####, a complete competitive screw-job for the team that plays Monday. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started out as week 2 vs the Rams was when the tests began, then it was going on the road to take on a pretty decent Vegas team, now its the Titans on the road, then itll be the chiefs and so on.

I thought the schedules hardest stretch came from week 5 to 9. The Rams and Raiders in my mind were solid teams but teams the Bills should have been able to handle (although the Rams are better than I thought). I thought of the Titans and Pats games as a toss up and then the Chiefs and Seahawks games as a hard to win. The only favored game in that span is the Jets. The Titans covid situation puts things up in the air for this game as I am thinking the Titans covid outbreak is likely to benefit the Bills if a game were to be played Sunday. I never bought the hype of how "hard" the schedule was. I think fans overrated that type of thing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoBills Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 This might sound a little goofy to some but I would think the team/players and fans would feel better traveling to Nashville if the visitor locker room is deep cleaned by a reliable contractor that the Bills could have contact with. Just to make sure it's up to the Bills standard and not the Titans standard which evidently was lacking. When the team arrives at the stadium from their hotel the last thing they need is a distraction about worrying over something like that.
