Royale with Cheese Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I just wanted to watch my Bills today. That’s all we ask for....not much. Still can’t get it to happen and not sure next when it will happen. I feel like Charlie Brown and the rain cloud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see McDermott and Beane tell the NFL that the Bills are refusing to go to Tenessee at this time. Honestly, I believe that would be a strong leadership act. Buffalo's facility is (as far as testing has shown) clean, so far. If ONE member of our organization, player or coach, gets infected in Tenessee, the entire Bills organization will be challenged to get past it for a month - or more. I think it is time for the Bills organization to face the NFL and firmly say, "enough is enough, we're not doing this." YEP!!! Great post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddo Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 4 minutes ago, Nitro said: Interesting on how the NFL is proceeding with the COVID problem. Bills vs Titans game, they are trying desperately to get it played while NE vs Denver is pushed ton next weekend. Miami vs NE gets postponed. Smacks of favoritism for NE. I am shocked! (sarcasm alert). I think it's as much because the Titans have already 'lost' their bye week, and the Patsies actually got their game played before. The scenario atm, is that if the Titans game can't go on, they are probably looking to have to play that game in a week 18. In this instance, I don't think it's due to any favoritism to the Patsies, it's simply a function of the NFL wanting to keep the regular season games confined within the 'normal' 17 week period.

Yeah, as frustrating as this situation is, I understand why the league is having a hard time deciding what to do with this game. They obviously should have had better contingency plans in place, but given that they didn't they now have a tough situation on their hands.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 34 minutes ago, Real McNasty said: This is the right approach IMO and I would fully support it. If they want to consider it the Bills forfeiting then sobeit. I'm sure I'll get beat down here but would rather be a healthy 4-1 team than a sick 5-0 team coming up to the Pats in a few weeks which is one of our most important games coming up. I'm with you I think. The "I think" part is if I had all the information in front of me I might believe it could be done safely. But based on the scattershot positive testing indicating widespread (and maybe continuing) exposure, I'm like "yeah, take the L" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I want to know is are the titans actually telling the truth or are they lying to prevent having to forfeit? I’d bet on the latter I understand what you're saying.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 3 hours ago, Mango said: Right. I’m on board with all of that. I’m just following through on what that would mean. -You come in close contact. Whoopsies -You quarantine, not in the facility. OK, got it. -There are 23 people with the virus. OK that’s not good - Could be 40-50+ total people banned from the facility. Woah! Based on the logistics, you can’t field a professional football team/staff. So I guess what I am really asking is, is it reasonable to believe that close contact quarantining is happening and this is a nothing burger? Or is it more reasonable to believe that the NFL/Titans are trying to power through this and any new positive is a red flag. I Hear You, Man! This is why I think the NFL needs to pivot to communication and transparency. Otherwise it looks like different standards for different teams, and the NFL putting our Bills at risk. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the Titans have ***** that up they need to get over it and rip off the band-aide. If they force this game and the Bills end up with positives they are going look like absolute dog *****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickelCity Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 At this point I'm firmly against playing the Titans in the near future. If it costs the *bills* a forfeited loss it may still be worth it to try to keep the team healthy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
