If the issue is that this directive wasn't properly communicated by the team to the players, punish the team. If it was conveyed to the players, punish the players. But heads need to roll. I am starting not to care if it was or wasn't properly communicated to the players. How freakin stupid & arrogant would you have to be to go ahead and assume since you weren't told, after delaying one game, yep, just go ahead and mingles together. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He almost opted out for the season because of COVID concerns. I don't blame him either, I wouldn't play this game. I mean, you can have a conspiracy theory, plenty of folks do, but why not take things at face value until proven otherwise? I fell off a mere 4' scaffold once, onto a sharp corner of plywood, and hit in just the right place to ding a nerve. It hurt when I did it but not too bad, I got up and went back to work, but the next 3 days were agony. I could sit, I could stand, and I could lie down but the transition between those positions was "scream" pain shooting from my back through my whole body. Strong muscle relaxants, steroids, and pain killers took the edge off to where I didn't actually scream I just wanted to. Maybe Tre hurt his back in Vegas and is still at the point where he's getting lots of treatment and it does him more good to be in the treatment room than out stretching and watching.

Down where I am in my part of Australia we haven't had a signifcant COVID-19 outbreak in months yet we are still rotating between working in the office and at home because we know this ***** won't go away until there is a vaccine. I really want this game to happen, I absolutely want to see but if it means pushing it back beyond much further than Monday I support the Titans forfeiting. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsfaninChicago Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 This is turning into an embarrassment for the league. However, it is not surprising coming from an organization which after Hurricane Katrina gave the New York Giants an extra home game by moving the New Orleans game there and their reasoning was...9/11. Man Tagliabue was a terrible commisioner and Goodell is giving him a run for his money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't there surveillance cameras to which the league has access? In a memo that now the recordings must be kept for 30 days? So we wouldn't need to trust them on that? They should ask the Cheaters for their surveilance footage - I'm sure the video they have is the most comprehensive 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally hasn’t been seen since after the game on Sunday. Maybe that’s normal for back injuries. Depending on the nature of the back injury, it could be much more in his interest to be in the treatment room than out on the field stretching.

Locomark Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Say it’s 7.5 mil without roster and performance bonuses... they could at least make the Titans pay half and the league pay the other half. After all the TV deal is all about revenue sharing and it was the NFL that has come up will a season devoid of extra weeks to fit these games ! We all could have assumed it was fairly likely there would be covid issues. The season just started, there will be more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
