WHO CARES ABOUT MVP 

 

so pointless. Lamar won it last season and got embarrassed in the playoffs. wish fans would stop putting all this pressure on Allen 

Who cares about mvp.  I agree 

 

fans putting pressure on JA?  That’s a stretch

Still on for Sunday just limited practice time for Titans 

 

Along with losing their 1st round pick in 2021, the Titans playing the Bills on Sunday severely shorthanded should be the penalty.

 

That's bearing no more positives from the Titans, of course.

WTH?? Still no League decision on the Titans game?? 

 

I bet they are giving the Titans one more chance to not produce any positives.

 

If this happens, their penalty will be playing the Bills severely handicapped.

 This is the likely reason. If no positives tomorrow and contact tracing shows Davis got it from Humphries / Batson - they can potentially still hv the game.

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.

Exactly....no surprise the NFL is dragging their feet on making a decision.

 

IMO, this whole situation is becoming more unfair to the Bills than it is to the Titans....they are the ones who didn't follow the protocols, yet the Bills are the ones dealing with uncertainty if the game will be played, or if the game is played, the uncertainty of whether or not they will get sick because they have to play a game against a bunch of morons who obviously haven't been following the rules for a long time.

Well, I am not so sure the Bills are going to be at any disadvantage if the game is played Sunday.  Fact is, until they are told differently, the Bills have to prepare to play the Titans as if it is any normal week.  We have no control over what the NFL decides to do,  So, the Bills practiced today, and will tomorrow and Friday as if they are playing the game on Sunday.  If things change, they will turn their attention immediately to the Chiefs.

 

The only way the Bills can be put at a disadvantage here is if the NFL moves the game to later in the season and they allow all the players that are on the list currently to play the Bills down the road if they are healthy.  Fact is, whoever is medically disqualified from playing this week should not get to play against the Bills later in the season if the game is rescheduled.  You can't reward a team by letting them get all their players back because they are stupid enough to disobey NFL protocols.  They made their bed.  Field a healthy team for Sunday or forfeit.

Completely agree. What good is film study if they don’t have those guys to run certain plays? How does anyone know if there won’t be more Covid casualties after practicing against the rules?

 

This is quickly getting out of control.

The whole situation also becomes more complicated when one team misses consecutive games on the schedule IMO. I think you start having to think about stetching the season out a couple weeks for make up games.

 

Interesting thought....

 

So no, its no surprise the NFL is dragging their feet on how to proceed.
