Of course, making a decision later could leave fans to conclude that the NFL is picking and choosing their approach to put certain teams in a better playoff position 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Maybe Mcd vs Vrabel in a game of Madden football to determine the winner? Use this time to brush up on those skills Mcd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Wagon Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 They should be forced to forfeit if there is any evidence at all they didn't follow protocols. The Steelers should get a win and their original bye back too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wjag Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 4 minutes ago, wiseman3 said: Why is it so hard to play the Titans on Monday or Tuesday, then move the chiefs to Saturday or Sunday? That seems like an incredibly easy fix, as long as all other tests are negative Because astonishingly, they are still testing positive, even when quarantined for the last week. Whatever happened there, it was obviously bad. To wake up this AM after two clean days is devastating to the Titans, Bills, NFL and Networks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 42 minutes ago, MAJBobby said: Because they wont play at this week. Move the Titans into the Bills Bye, move the other games around those weeks to make it work. The scenario has been reported. The Titans already had their bye. There is zero flexibility left on Tennessee's schedule. The game gets played this week, in a Week 18, or not at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7975 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 They should forfeit until they are all healthy and able to play. Sucks but that is the logical thing to do. Can't have one team derail a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks but that is the logical thing to do. Can't have one team derail a season. It really is one team. Everyone knew there would be positive tests here or there. But this is an uncontrolled outbreak within one team. The league is investigating the reason it happened. Every other team that has had positives, has not had complete outbreaks so far.

Realist Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Don't think they can forfeit, basically because that's not fair to the Steelers. Steelers are forced to play them and Bills get a free win is really not feasible. Personally think week 18 should be added to play any games that are forced to move and can't be worked out to play during the season. I believe, back when they started the offseason, NFL said they could move the Superbowl back as far as March if they absolutely had to. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you try to make things fair you won’t get through the season 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Titans did something against the rules like a team gathering etc. NFL needs to drop the hammer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden*Wheels Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 OLD but so we know what the issue reportedly was: Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the league and the NFL Players Association are investigating whether the Titans failed to follow the protocols developed jointly by the NFL and the NFLPA. “This isn’t a failure of the protocols; it is a failure to follow the protocols,” an unnamed source told Schefter. The investigation reportedly is focused on outside linebackers coach Shane Bowen. Per the report, Bowen “was exposed to individuals who had been exposed” to the virus. The rules require all personnel to report that they were in the presence of someone who has the virus, or to not report for work if that has occurred. The probe also is exploring whether the Titans were diligent when it comes to wearing masks in the facility. Frankly, based on the constant images of coaches and sideline personnel failing to properly wear masks when in the presence of TV cameras during games, it should surprise no one to learn that mask irregularities have happened and will happen at most if not all team facilities. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/10/04/nfl-nflpa-explore-whether-titans-violated-protocols/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
