Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Good Matt Fairburn article in the Athletic. It basically summarizes stuff we have already heard from press conferences and tweets, but it's nice to have all in one place. Pay site, I think there's a trial https://theathletic.com/2122830/2020/10/07/how-the-bills-are-trying-to-navigate-a-covid-19-minefield/?source=emp_shared_article Allen has a good attitude about it: “We understand it’s not going to be perfect and we’re going to hit adversity,” Allen said. “We have to be prepared for any situation that’s thrown our way. This is no different.” McDermott said the Bills are using this as a reminder to do everything in their power to keep the virus out of their building. “Everyone has to be responsible and to some extent accountable to one another in order to help curb the spread of COVID-19,” McDermott said. “And I think that’s true on and off the field, in this case — inside the NFL and outside the NFL.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Pretty sure the Bills would make sure their players were taken care of even though they technically wouldn't have to. I don't think McDermott or Beane would stand for anything else from ownership. That isn't how you build good will among your players. https://sports.yahoo.com/bills-players-may-not-get-paid-if-titans-forfeit-in-week-5-due-to-nf-ls-coronavirus-rules-152712850.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoBills Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 It's obvious now that the NFL prime fix to a Covid outbreak was to use scheduling/bye weeks etc to reschedule the games. They already did that with the Titans/Steelers and no doubt will continue to do that. But the Titans now are forced to take that theory to the next limit. If Titans players keep testing positive they can't be in contact with themselves and others. Cancellation of game results in no Pay Day for Bills players. Don't cancel the game have the Bills show up for the game on Sunday. Titans cannot. At time of the Coin Toss the Referee awards the game to the Bills. The league goes on with it's life and the Bills players get paid. THE ONLY OTHER OPTION: Start a Week 18 Make Up Week now with all appropriate rules. Example: What if team has 2 make up games, etc. Get off the pot NFL and decide what to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IgotBILLStopay Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 The bot posted this somewhere else I think. I dont think it is in the Bills hands whether they want to pay or not. That being said, it is likely the NFL and NFLPA will work out an arrangement so the non-offending players are paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 24 minutes ago, sullim4 said: I think the Bills hold the cards here. Simply refuse to re-jigger the schedule if it's anything other than moving their week 11 bye. Refuse to go down to Nashville with the claim that they already broke the rules, we can't trust that organization to have properly followed them since the outbreak. Otherwise, force the NFL to forfeit the game in favor of the Titans. That would create a firestorm of bad publicity... I don't think the Bills have any of that authority.

PrimeTime101 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Fact Check time. 1. there cant be a saturday game do to broadcast rulings 2. teams will not get paid for canceled or forfeited games unless owners agree to poney up. thus unless the teams themselves come to an agreement, it wont happen 3. Titans clearly broke protocols on new covid rules why these same 3 facts are being rolled around as something different is beyond me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, signing, roster, etc. bonuses are not part of the weekly game check, they are what they are, a bonus paid up front. Now if you are talking performance bonuses, OK. fine. But those would not add $5M in week 5 of the NFL season. And they would not get them anyways since they didn't, ya know, perform/play any games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yall Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Insider scoop from well connected individual whom I trust; Sunday is off definitively. Game will be Mon/Tues. Saturday is a possibility for Chiefs although Sunday is more likely. Nothing earth shattering or new mind you, but forfeit isn't seeming likely. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
