Rc2catch Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Given the news today I’m shocked they haven’t cancelled this titans game. I don’t get the thinking of cancelling New England but not buffalo. Pats appear to be on the verge of a pretty big breakout so I can see postponing the game, but Tennessee still keeps popping up new cases almost daily and yet it’s still on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juice_32 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Nothing would make me happier than to see the Bills beat the hell out of these bastards. But, these players do not deserve this.

zow2 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Titans coach positive test means the virus is still around that club. i’m the first one to say it’s not a death sentence but if the league is trying to portray”safety first” then they need to reschedule the game much like Den/Mia. There have been too many cases on the Titans to blow it off like they did for Atlanta and their practice squad DB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjag Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I’ve been musing about the Denver-Patriots game being moved to next weekend and the Denver-Miami game being moved into the future. The second and third order perturbations to the NFL schedule are hard to predict now. My guess is every team is likely to have games and order of games moved around now. The league got “lucky” with the Tennessee-Baltimore-Pittsburgh fix. Everything gets significantly more complicated now with the shifting of three teams Denver-Miami-New England schedules. And that’s before the Tennessee-Buffalo-Kansas City gets figured out. I think the NFL game scheduler algorithm has been broken. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t mess up the entire league because one team refused to follow protocols. They've impacted 4 top AFC Super Bowl contenders already, Bills, Chiefs, Steelers, and Ravens, 5 counting the Titans. I think this is why the league is having such a hard time with this game. It likely determines playoff seeding. This decision will have future ramifications.

So if this thing takes until then so be it. This will never be fair to every team, so that needs to leave everyone's head right now. This has never been experienced so the thinking it could be kept fair was a fantasy thought and nothing more. Hell even a regular NFL season isn't fair most the time....

Chuck Wagon Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 The Titans shouldn't be allowed back onto a field until they have 2+ weeks of all negative tests.

I'm sure even if Pegula wanted to that would be a salary cap hit. Having said that the league could approve them being paid from some source, maybe out of the cookie jar they have for emergencies. 4 minutes ago, Buffalo03 said: These players could test negative one day and positive the next and actually play on game day with the virus. Why not just have the players that test negative play and the ones that test positive just stay away from the team? If the Titans don't have enough players then that's their problem. If that means Ryan Tannehill has to play linebacker, I could live with that Unless I missed something in the last five pages of this thread, the facility is closed so no one can practice and with a positive today, they can't re-open tomorrow or Tuesday either as need two days of clean tests. Believe there's a league rule that teams have to be allowed to practice at a minimum of two days prior to game. On top of that they hadn't been allowed to have a full legal practice until yesterday, so that would have given them four days. To expect a team to go out and play a game after only a couple of practices does not seem very prudent. The issue also is you now don't know who this coach exposed himself too and will another flare up start maybe around Wednesday or Thursday, so then you'd have players who are negative on game day who have the virus now exposing the Bills. Add in 5 days before most see symptoms, they could then play KC on Sunday and test positive on Monday after they've now exposed KC too. Maybe the league will determine he wasn't exposed to anyone yesterday and reopen the facility in the next hour or so, if so then possibly the game could go on, though if I were the Bills, I think I'd now be telling Roger, NO we refuse to play the game as we don't want to be exposed next. If Tenn isn't able to practice today, then can't see how they can play the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 1 minute ago, SCBills said: Not necessarily. Due to contact tracing, they could have some expected positives and still play. That only works if the expected positives are not at the facility. Which as of now there are 10+ coaches and staff and 10+ Who have tested positive. If they only made contact with 1 person each, that is a total of 40+ people not allowed in the facility. Making practice time irrelevant because there aren’t enough people to field a team for practice or a game. If they did that, they’d have to cancel the game all together, which is what they’ve avoided this whole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 40 minutes ago, El Guapo said: How can they play our game when they cancelled the Pats game for 3 positives? It's possible that the coach who became ill is a known close contact of the coaches who tested positive 1 week ago Tuesday and has been quarantining from the team. That is what someone here said would happen - that known contacts going positive wouldn't necessarily cancel the game. But logic suggests that should only apply if those known contacts don't have any known contacts. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
