Certainly can’t field the team they want anyway. I mean, if they keep pushing this ***** out they're going to start getting back the first wave of positives.

Cheektowaga Chad Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 If the nfl schedules the game Monday or Tuesday, what happens if the bills refuse to play? They say they won't report for the game and don't travel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And really, I think their individual greatest attributes make them a great combo: Diggs can go from covered to open faster than just about anyone in the league cause of his route running and agility, and Allen can put the ball on the WR faster than just about anyone. As they develop chemistry I think we're going to see a lot of broken plays where the timing and routes are off but they connect because of that. Yes, exactly, well said. What I love is that Beane KNEW this in his soul, and he MADE it happen. Or, at least, he listened to Daboll and McDermott and believed them totally. Either way: that's why he's the BOSS. And yeah, no preseason, and already league leaders. Talk about the Sky is the Limit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing about a third player on Rapoport's twitter feed. What he said on GMFB is that "that makes 3 players in the last 2 days" ie the one yesterday, and two today (one repeat, one new). 3 minutes ago, Dablitzkrieg said: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffeesforclosers Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Just waiting for the wrist slap penalty from New York and a dog of a game from the Titans covid-ridden scrubs at this point. In a sensible world, the news of the forfeits and suspensions will come out in an hour. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man with No Name Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 53 minutes ago, CaliBills said: If I know one thing. This will create some hostility between the Bills players and titans players in the future. When a persons money is taken away due to others negligence, S*** will hit the fan the next time they play to one degree or another. it's gonna cause hostility between the titans players who definitely will not be getting paid. Good luck to vrabel trying to keep these guys together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly can’t field the team they want anyway. At this point is it even worth going up against Titan PS players who might also be infected. Clearly this organization can't follow the rules. And its doubtful the shield punishes these clowns with a forfeit. Wear a frickin mask and stay away from people. This isn't rocket science.

LeGOATski Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I already hated the Titans the most (along with all of the NFC east). Now I hate them more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tennessee is one of the states that doesn't have an income tax. Players would likely be subject to NYS income tax, which on their salaries, can account for a significant chunk of their paycheck.

I know a lot about TN income tax! But the point is, that the Bills under McBeane would do right by their players. That's their MO. You disagree?

YoloinOhio Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 Execs from multiple teams said it’s been an open secret that the Titans have not strictly enforced guidelines regarding masks within their facility. The execs said they knew this through conversations with Titans staffers predating the outbreak. If this is true, the NFL will find proof on surveillance videos from inside team headquarters. Saffold’s revelation raises another red flag, even if the practice session was held before an NFL memo was distributed explicitly banning such gatherings.https://theathletic.com/2123779/2020/10/08/execs-unfiltered-harsh-punishment-for-titans-if-covid-19-protocols-ignored/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team legally cannot do anything without an agreement between those two parties... and you can bet that other forces at play (i.e. the NFL, other teams that might find themselves in this situation, the NFLPA wanting local tax treatment, etc) would push back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Its a union issue not a Pegula and Beane issue. In a unionized employment situation employers can not unilaterally change the rules even if it is for the benefit of the employee. This needs to be negotiated between NFLPA and NFL.
