it just so happens that Whoever is carrying it is the NFL Network. -
Week 5: Bills at Titans on Tuesday Night Football
Captain Caveman replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
maybe but how dumb do you have to be to not understand that if the facility is shut down and you've got multiple positive cases that you're not supposed to go practice somewhere else? and in general, the league has never really shied away from making up punishment rules as they go along. in this case all they need too say is "You can't safely play the game because you broke the rules, and there's no time to make it up, so it's a forfeit." I would guess the majority of owners (and players) would go along with it based on what's come out today. -

1 - that may end up happening 2 - the Raiders game also probably shouldn't have happened after their maskless adventures 3 - If the NFL wants to have a season, they need to come down hard on any team that is shown to be not deadly serious about this (and even that may not be enough.) -
Week 5: Bills at Titans on Tuesday Night Football
Captain Caveman replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think the language the league's been using has been confusing - They've said 2 straight days of no positives and the team can open back up, but hasn't been how they've handled it. They had no positives Monday or Tuesday, so if this was the case they could have opened up Tuesday morning. They didn't. I think what they're really saying is if you have two days with no new cases, then the NEXT day you can open things up (assuming no new positives on the third day.) I think they'll get added to the Covid lists which have seemed to be public. -
Week 5: Bills at Titans on Tuesday Night Football

I keep seeing people post that Tennessee should be forced to play the game with whatever lineup they can pull together. Why should the Bills be forced to play against a team who are in the middle of a giant outbreak, with no assurance that the outbreak is over. For everyone who keeps saying that only players who test negative will be allowed to play - over the last week how many players tested negative and then tested positive? It's mind boggling that this argument is still being used. The incubation period renders the testing pretty ineffective unfortunately. I don't love the idea of the Bills winning this game via forfeit, but I honestly think the League has no choice given what's come out about the continued meetings / practices after everything was supposed to be shut down. -
Should the Bills play the Broncos?
Captain Caveman replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
None of us actually knows what happened in NE or Tennessee. You're assuming NE won't continue to have more positive tests - if they do I'd be surprised if that game is played. -
Should the Bills play the Broncos?
Captain Caveman replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Pats / Broncos is also at risk with 3 players having tested positive within a week, and the Pats have gone remote today. -
Miami Dolphins cleared for full stadium capacity
Captain Caveman replied to Big C's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'd be surprised if the league allows it, even if the teams wanted to. The League has shown they care about public perception, and I don't think they want to be (or appear) responsible for an outbreak. -
Titans player test positive today 10/7
Captain Caveman replied to BillsMafi$'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think having 2 days of no positives means the first day they could get in would be Saturday (this week Monday and Tuesday had no positive tests but they weren't plannning to open until today.) So practice Saturday Sunday and play Monday? But it's seeming much more likely this game isn't getting played this week. I hope the league decides soon so we can start focusing on the Chiefs. -

Tampa Bay's top 4 wrs are hurt, right? -
Week 5: Bills at Titans on Tuesday Night Football

I was more worried about playing the Raiders last week after their maskless adventures. -
This is a lousy statement to make. We don't have any clue how he caught it. It could have been contact with someone who worked for the team. It could have been his housecleaner, or a family member who went to the grocery store. I'd be very surprised if he did anything dumb to jeopardize his season, knowing how much he enjoys winning, and also how much $ he has at stake. There are some dumb players, there are some addicts (which is not the same thing.) Cam hasn't done anything that I'm aware of that would indicate he's in either of those groups.

Vegas Players Violate Virus Protocol
Captain Caveman replied to par73's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's kind of ironic how often they're getting called out for being "selfish" as the violation occurred while attending a teammate's charity event for a great cause. I don't necessarily disagree (I'd probably call it stupid rather than selfish) but it just strikes me as funny. -
Vegas Players Violate Virus Protocol
Captain Caveman replied to par73's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's good to see that players can be suspended, but baffling to me that the punishment comes from "The Club" if I'm reading it right. Would the Raiders under any circumstances suspend Derek Carr and how many other players for this week? The League needs to step in and hold people accountable in a real way. -
Vegas Players Violate Virus Protocol
Captain Caveman replied to par73's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
They then suspended players that violated the rules, and wound up with very few rules violations (the most notable being a player who had outside contact with 1 person.) If the NFL were going to take it as seriously, every Raider who was at that event would be suspended for two weeks (and longer for any players who eventually test positive.) -

Captain Caveman replied to par73's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yeah, that's kind of my point. They took it more seriously from the beginning. Also they had severe punishment when players didn't follow the rules. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-nba/rockets-forward-house-ejected-from-nba-bubble-for-unauthorized-guest-idUSKBN26232H
