No word on any injury. FIFY What's not to get? Players sometimes develop injuries that aren't immediately apparent during the game or even the next day. They're all sore as hell after the game and sometimes in pain, this is considered normal It's not until the pain would normally subside but doesn't, or until it worsens the following day, that an injury sometimes becomes apparent. The team is not required to report those injuries until it practices and McDermott appears to be a firm believer in the "loose lips sink ships" philosophy of injury reporting. 22 hours ago, Mr. WEO said: Nothing a little Silvadene wouldn't cure...

MJS Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Man. It would suck to be down White AND Wallace. I was happy with what Norman did on Sunday, but I sure don't want him as our CB1. Let's hope these extra days before the game allow him to get healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 Just a walk through today so no media will be there. Mcd hasn’t talked since Wednesday, usually does on Fridays before Sunday games so it might not be until tomorrow that we know anything about Tre situation. We will get an injury report, though, and per Chris Brown it will have the normal Friday game designations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreggTX Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 It sounds like some of us are overlooking the Titans. I sure hope the Bills aren't making that mistake! We will be handed our heads if we do, especially with all the injuries piling up. Some of you are talking like this somehow is not a 3-0 team that just made a deep playoff run. This will be our toughest test to date. We need to start putting teams away in the 2nd half instead of letting them back in the game. We'll need our run game as well as our passing game working as well as containing the reigning leading rusher from 2019. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have beaten three bad teams, and they were losing to Jacksonville and Minnesota in the second half, so there’s that. Plus the fact that they haven’t had a formal practice in 12 days, and don’t know how many of their players will miss the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Process Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 It's becoming more and more likely it's not an injury at all. Hopefully we get some answers from McD tomorrow. If tre is that concerned about COVID he should have just sat out the season instead of playing these games. He's not the only one in the league with young children. Even if he's not going to play, guy is just a no show at practice all week? Every other injured player was at least with the team. And we have 0 reason to believe he's hurt so bad that he can't even stand around during practice. If it is what it smells like it's a bunch of bs to be honest.

If they truly were "well coached" we'd be playing them Sunday under normal conditions and getting ready for a battle of undefeated teams against KC on Primetime TNF. Instead teams like the Bills are getting screwed schedule wise while the NFL continues to accommodate the embarrassment that is the Titans for not following protocol. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries on the overlooking thing, Sean and the coaches will be in every plays ear making them fully aware what’s at stake, that and it is a fan thing to be concerned with, all the players know damn well they can’t take any team lightly.

Vrabel is overrated, in my opinion. The Titans are a tough team, but they are pretty basic and predictable as far as schemes go. And Vrabel makes questionable in-game decisions. I see the NFL passing him by in a few years. The Titans are not some juggernaut. They've gone 9-7 for years and play in a weak division. They had a nice run in the playoffs last year and good for them. But they play a dangerous style of football, barely beating opponents. They do not have an explosive offense. They are a good, physical team that you have to be ready for, but that's it. Nobody should fear the Titans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a few teams out there I would not be surprised if the Bills lost to. Chiefs are one of those. And there are some teams I fully expect to win against (Jets, for example) but I just watch the games and enjoy it when the Bills play well and get over it when they don't. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude! Apples and Oranges. What "some" coaches and players have done in the past only jeopardized their organization and integrity. They only cheated one team at a time, the one they were playing. What the Titans have done could very well have a negative ripple effect through out the entire NFL putting every teams season in jeopardy. Even if the season is salvaged it will be at a great inconvenience to other franchises like ours that have done nothing wrong. How does that compare to taping practices and deflating footballs?
