The NFL is bigger than anything any of these other sports have had to deal with. That's even more reason for the NFL to have built in a plan for outbreaks. They did absolutely nothing. NBA, NHL, and MLB all made changes to the norm in less time. MLB still had outbreaks. NFL should have been smarter and knew outbreaks would happen.

True, but mentally had to deal with all the changes. Do think though with all things considered that would be a very low concern. I do wonder if on Friday when the players were given the day off, did the coaches say lets talk KC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muppy Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 what a debacle. The Bills-Titans game needs cancelled already. I can't imagine McDermott woud be in favor of potentially putting his players at risk with an organization which clearly didn't obey the protocols and even today has a positive covid test? Enough already. Do the right thing Goodell. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like they figured that by adding practice squad players they could just use those to replace people who were positive, not understanding/calculating that more related positives might continue to keep coming in at a later point in time (with those potentially having infected others during that time and so on) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing the Chiefs Thursday would be a clear advantage for Buffalo. I’m not so sure. I think it’s more normal for the Chiefs to this point. They’ve planned for and are playing their game now just like they always would’ve. Bills still don’t know whether they are playing THIS week. And even if they keep it on schedule, it could still be cancelled with more positive tests at any point over the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
