SCBills Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) 36 minutes ago, Captain Caveman said: I keep seeing people post that Tennessee should be forced to play the game with whatever lineup they can pull together. Why should the Bills be forced to play against a team who are in the middle of a giant outbreak, with no assurance that the outbreak is over. For everyone who keeps saying that only players who test negative will be allowed to play - over the last week how many players tested negative and then tested positive? It's mind boggling that this argument is still being used. The incubation period renders the testing pretty ineffective unfortunately. I don't love the idea of the Bills winning this game via forfeit, but I honestly think the League has no choice given what's come out about the continued meetings / practices after everything was supposed to be shut down. I mean, under your premise, cancel the season... We played the Raiders, who had no known positives yet this year, and the very next day, Hurst tests positive. Cant avoid it. Just have to follow the protocols and hope, as the Vikings showed, it may not be that easy to transmit on the open-air football field with frequent, yet quick/intermittent, contact.

I would guess the majority of owners (and players) would go along with it based on what's come out today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Titans are imbeciles and willfully and recklessly engaged in stupid activities AFTER people on their team tested positive for COVID. The disciplinary boot of the the league needs to be place firmly up the rear of this team for putting the health and safety of players and their families from other teams at risk. Selfish and stupid.

Blank Stare Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Josh still getting no love for MVP on NFL total access. Russ and Rodgers I get. It’s arguable. But no one else should be higher than Allen through 4 games. Not even Mahomes. Tie between Russ, Rodgers, and Allen. We’ll see if our boy can hang with those heavyweights all year long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I care about getting to the playoffs, winning playoff games, and ultimately winning the Super Bowl. If Josh helps us do that AND gets MVP, that would be great. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When’s the last time we’ve had a player (let alone a QB) worthy of MVP consideration? Fred Jackson’s hot start in the mid-2000s before he was injured and lost for the year? Been too long.

Beast Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) Read the very first paragraph of the NFL Conduct Policy, linked below, and tell me the players involved in that practice should not get a suspension. This may be written for crimes but the very first few paragraphs cover this situation. https://static.nfl.com/static/content/public/photo/2017/08/11/0ap3000000828506.pdf Edited October 8, 2020 by Beast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only does Josh have to maintain, these other guys are going to have to fall off a little. Russ is playing out of his mind. Rodgers right there too.

YoloinOhio Posted October 7, 2020 Author Share Posted October 7, 2020 So titans are down to 3 total WR on the depth chart with Davis out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgotBILLStopay Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Normally with another positive result, the clock is reset and there should be no chance of the Titans game being played on Sunday. And there is no way to move it to Monday since Bills play TNF. So why hasn’t the league cancelled the game yet (forfeit postponed etc.)? I believe there is still a chance this game will go on. And strangely enough, if the new positive tests can be traced to the Titans’ players breaking protocol and getting together, and there have been no more such instances except the one on Sep 29, the game might still go on. 1. Corey Davis WR is the new positive result today. Most likely he was at the Tannehill organized workout at MBA on Sep 29 after the Titans closed their facility. He is a key offensive player and it was an Offense organized practice.Two other Offensive players tested positive on October 2 - WR Adam Humphries and WR Cameron Batson (PS). I am going to assume these 2 guys were infected in the first wave. 2. The key question is were Humphries and Batson at the unauthorized practice on Sep 29? If they were, that is likely where Davis got infected and tested positive 7 days later (post incubation). 3. The Titans were likely warned against unauthorized get together only on Oct 1 and likely did not get together after Sep 29 (I am guessing here) 4. The get together was outdoors and likelihood of infection was low (because of viral loads etc.). 5. If the Titans have not gotten together after Sep 29 (and that is a big IF), no one else was likely infected at that get together (it will be 9 days tomorrow). 6. This is why contact tracing is so important. If the source of Davis’ infection was Humphries or Davis and there has been no contact between Titans players afterSep 29, the game can still go on (sans any player who tested positive of course). 7. I can understand McD and the Bills players being a bit wary - but I just listened to an authority of viral loads who says risk of game time infection from an opponent is minimal - which is evidenced by all Vikings players testing negative after the Titans game. He also believes the risk for Mahomes getting infected from Gilmore is very small. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying the ride too. I just don't get too concerned about how much love the media is giving Josh Allen or the Bills. That's all superfluous BS that just doesn't matter. Winning games matters, media perceptions, not so much. In fact I like it better when they are doubters, it helps give the team an us vs the world mentality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steptide Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 One of the mistakes I believe the NFL made this year knowing covid was happening , was not letting rosters expand. I know they put new practice squad rules in place, but they should've allowed teams to have something like 20 reserve players for covid, this would be on top of the practice squad. Pay them league minimum or less, put them in some kind of bubble so they're on call and ready to go at any point in case of an outbreak on any given team. I know that's much easier said than done, but it really wouldn't have been all that hard. There's 90 players on every team going into training camp. I'm sure the NFL could've figured it out in the off season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean can you trust them at all right now? If I am the Bills players I am voicing my displeasure over how they handled things and not wanting to put myself or my loved ones In harms way because the Titans are selfish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to wonder. I thought for sure after today's positives the game would be cancelled. But if the Titans need 2 days of practice they could conceivably move the game to Monday or even Tuesday and then reschedule the Bills/Chiefs game to Sunday. Whether the Titans game is played or not I don't see how our TNF game will happen. Wouldn't be fair to the Chiefs if we get a bye week before the game.
