Looks like we’ll be playing a depleted Titans team Sunday. Glad McD keeping nose to the grindstone! Depleted as in what way, Chandler? Are they making those that participated in that practice sit out or is it just the positive tests that have to sit out?

It's just not fair to the rest of the AFC if the Bills and Steelers get to pocket an extra win and bye week. Hit these guys where it hurts. TN should lose a first round pick for every game that's been postponed and hit every player with a fine equal to their gameday paychecks. And Vrabel needs to face a 4-week suspension. This is just ridiculous. What’s good, gents? What good? YE OLE isn’t really in favor of forfeit either... but there is a reality to what does the league do if the Titans can’t have a game for multiple weeks and the rest of the league continues? If multiple teams end up in this boat you could argue the league might just shorten the season, but if it’s just the Titans at this point, how do you justify that?

NewEra Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Suspend all players that attended the practice. Covid positive players also ruled out. If they don’t have enough players to play, they should be forced forfeit. If they have enough to play, time to whoops their cheating ***** 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only fair solution is force both games as forfeit, take away the Titans entire draft picks for 2021, and suspend Tannehill and any other players that broke the rules for four games.

wjag Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 At this juncture, I good with fining the players and team. They are already down ~15 players and some coaches. Their team and schedule have been thrown into total chaos. You can't suspend 15 more. The team would not be able to field a team. No matter how charged up you feel about it, the NFL and we as fans of the game, need to the max extent possible see and play competitive games. oh.. IMHO... Your mileage may vary.

Problem with this is every other team has lost guys to COVID and dealt with it without breaking the rules. The Titans getting that light of penalties only incentives others to try. Anything less then scorched earth in penalties invites others to try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevestojan Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I’d happily take a 2-0 win as per the NFL rules taking us to 5-0 record with zero injuries. (then I will drink three handles of Tito’s at the end of the season when we lose the tie breaker for having lower “points for” as I could see happening.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warcodered Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 It feels like whatever they decide forfeit or reschedule the game shouldn't be played this week.

Magox Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 The punishment is going to have to be harsh to send a message. The audience is larger than just NFL fans. My guess is that they will hope that no other players test positive between now and Gameday. If no other players test positive, they will suspend the players that attended that workout with a 2 game suspension. They will fine the team $2 Million . They will forfeit a 3rd round draft choice. If a player does come back as positive, they will do all the above and they will forfeit this weeks game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are going to wait until tomorrow at least I think. If the Titans have negative tests tomorrow and Friday, they can still try to get the game in on Monday. Sat/Sun the Titans can practice. Would have to move Bills Thursday game to Sunday. Edited October 7, 2020 by boco357 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
