I mean they can't punish the Patriots if they didn't break protocol, as much as I would like them to be punished. I didn’t say they should be punished! I said it’s an obvious risk they took and they both got Covid, putting the team at risk and now two game reschedules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 2 minutes ago, Pokebball said: Of course the difference for the Bills is that KC game Thurs night. I think the trigger needs to be pulled today. I'm pretty positive KC vs Bills will be moved to Sunday and Bills vs Titans will remain scheduled for Tuesday by the end of today. I don't think that means Bills vs Titans goes on as scheduled. Part of the reason I’m guessing the NFL is dragging this out is because the NFL doesn't want to give the Bills an advantage vs the Chiefs. If they cancel today then the Bills get an extra day of preparation. We'll know tomorrow or late tonight if Titans bills is really going to happen.

If we learn today that the Titans game is cancelled and we play the Chiefs on Thursday, it would essentially be the same as originally planned in terms of prep for KC. Yep, that’s right. In my opinion, I think the yo-yo, uncertain nature of all this weighs on the players more than you think. Everything about this to this point, has been more normal for the Chiefs than the Bills. BAU. How many times do we hear coaches and players are creatures of habit? From a rest standpoint, this would seem to benefit the Bills. I don’t argue that, but I do wonder what sort of mental impacts this has had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s more than just Titans. No it still works out b.c Dolphins and Broncos are not going to the playoffs. They said they can cancel games that have no playoff implications.

I just don't understand why they didn't do anything. Shoot they could have had 4 breaks honestly, after week 4, week 8, week 12, and week 16.

zow2 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Pivot. Fly the Bills and any negative tested and safe Titans to a neutral location the day of the game and play it. Then fly out. I don’t want the Bills hanging in Nashville or near the Titans facility. They had the Patriots do it for KC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing a double standard of canceling games for non playoff teams VS rescheduling and screwing up the schedule for playoff teams (at least the teams they think will /won't make the playoffs). Either one or the other, not both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league shouldn’t be figuring out how to reschedule today - that plan should have been in place when they moved the game the first time (or earlier). When you have a product worth billions of dollars, you don’t make it up as you go along. I’m with you. This whole thing is pants-on-head stupid, and no, not just because the Bills are impacted.
