Just adding to what I heard since the fact that the NFL is handling this so horribly. can the NFL fine themselves? 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. This is where transparency and communication are critical. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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" Except - I doubt the NFL would allow it. If the Bills decide not to play - they figure out how to move it to week 18 and the Bills get screwed. The NFL is working hard to get every game in and the Titans bye last week screws the easy move like the Den/NE game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming from the Bills a statement would be an extremely squeaky wheel they just may be force the NFL to grease or face huge lawsuits if Bills become infected. Would the Bills do it I just don't know. a statement is different then flat out saying we wont play tuesday. telling the nfl they putting us and titans in bad spot that they need to come up with a decision asap makes sense hit n that statement you cant say WE WONT SHOW UP. thats a forfit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 21 minutes ago, Buddo said: 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. If safety is a concern, you have to drive the decisions with uniform protocols, not by "who already used their bye week? OK, different standards, we'll lower the bar for ya!"

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...

par73 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 NFL cancelled Denver vs. NE out of concern for player safety. Obviously not so concerned about Bills' health. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
