Then a week 18 if necessary. NFL messed up. I find it staggering that they did not have a proper contingency plan in place. Goodell - as useful as a fishnet condom!

par73 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Remember, T. White seriously considered opting out this season to protect his family. If I were a player, I would have no interest in playing Tuesday in that environment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornAgainBillsFan Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Forgive me if this was covered earlier. I don't have time to check. I'm not one who buys into too many conspiracy theories, but isn't it a bit too convenient that the Patriots keep getting their games postponed, when the thing they need most right now is time to get their starting QB back from COVID retreat? What a CROCK OF ****!!!!! I'm beginning to think you Patriot paranoiacs are onto something. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunTheBall Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 There hasn’t been one instance of transmission on the football field. As long as sick Titans players aren’t in the visitors locker room coughing up a storm just prior to the Bills entering they will be fine. Not saying it’s optimal at all but if you are going to play games you have to accept some risk and so far playing football on the field seems extremely low. The only way to get to zero risk is to not play games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does make me scratch my head when the Pats have their outbreaks mostly contained (outside, you know, two of their best players) but keep getting postponements. Meanwhile, despite Tennessee being a plague ship and still unable to open their facilities, putting their ability to host games in jeopardy, it's full steam ahead. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because you're accustomed to Bills teams of the past. The kind of teams that lose critical games to the other guys' backups and generally come up small at the worst possible times. Thankfully I think those days are behind us -- from the coaching staff to the QB on down, this seems like a team that's going to be ready to play no matter what. I mean, you could tell Josh Allen that the game has been moved to tomorrow morning, in the parking lot of the abandoned drive-in two towns over, and the first words out of his mouth would be "Who needs a ride?" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scribo Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 No new postives for Pats*. The longer gap between the Pats* news and the Titans news, the less confident I am that they will also get good news.

I don't understand the why. To answer your question quick: If the Sabres signed him for 2 years he would have to be protected for the expansion draft (since you would obviously protect Hall). By signing him to a 1 year deal, the Sabres can protect others on their roster and worry about signing Hall after the expansion draft. Players going into free agency cannot be drafted by Seattle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 By far, the biggest concern I have for this game (I’m now assuming it will be played) is whether any Bills players will be tentative. You can’t be anything other than “all in” to play and win a football game in the NFL. I have faith in McD’s ability to reassure them, but that’s where I stand. If they aren’t mentally into this it could be ugly. The Titans will already be motivated because they’ve heard the “you should forfeit” and “you broke protocols” stuff. Mitch Morse was quoted saying something along the lines of “you have to be questioning things” and that’s not a good sign. This game will be a great test of the Bills’ mental makeup. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
