Please keep discussion in this thread narrowly focused on football and directly football-related issues.

 

Two Bills Drive no longer finds it appropriate to engage in COVID-19 discussion in our main discussion areas. We are a Buffalo Bills fan community and we exist to serve fans of the Buffalo Bills and the NFL. Please use other communities and venues to discuss heath-related topics including COVID-19. 

 

Information about COVID-19 is available from many globally respected sources including:

 

Uptodate     |  British Medical Journal Best Practice   |      COVIPENDIUM    |    Our world in Data

 

The pinned topic: COVID-19 - Facts and Information Only Topic, located on the Off the Wall subforum, is also a resource.   Should these not meet your needs, many other sources of information (of varied accuracy) exist.

 

Thank you!

Maybe adding an extra week of play at the end of the season?

I just spent a half-hour of my lunchtime cleaning up this thread because some people think they are too important to follow the same rules as everybody else. Having one person working overtime be

I'm surprised the answer to this question hasn't been discussed ad nauseum already.  This is the $1million question, and I feel like I haven't heard a peep about it.

How do we know these aren't false positives? There was a ton of them before the season started 

Already confirmed positives with additional tests.

Vikings seem to be getting the raw end of the stick here.. did nothing wrong but will basically have to be behind the 8 ball going into their next game due to another team's issues.

And this wont be the last time.  but did the Titans do something wrong becuase someone got the virus?  The thing is super contagious....

 

Wait until a game gets cancelled and what that will mean for playoff tie breakers.

I do not think the league should or would start altering schedules now for one or two teams.  Yeah, there are some easy ways now to rework the schedule, but what happens later int the year if there is a positive but no easy way out. Consistency is they way this handle this will be key to keep it fair to all. Tell the Titans they have to play. If they cannot field a roster of players who test negative, they should forfeit. Maybe one irresponsible person should not be able to take down the entire league.

Exactly--at some point you run out of calendar room. 

True. That's my thought, too. But then again, we just handed out the Stanley Cup last night (in late September).

This may have been discussed already but worst case scenario, cant they just tack this game on to the end of the season and delay the start of playoffs? I dont think teams will mind getting a week off prior to playoffs. Reserve that week for all makeup games.

Carelessness. I’m sure that all of us have had this fear since last March. We’ve gotta really hope that this isn’t the start of a trend. These players and team staff need to take this seriously and avoid external contact. There wasn’t an opportunity to be in a bubble like the NBA or the NHL, so you have to create your own as a player or staff member who is in contact with players. Sounds like some people failed.

 

Plot twist, what if they were infected by a Vikings player or players?

 

This isn't good, but was inevitable.

The "fair" thing to do would be to postpone all W4 games and add them to the end of the season, pushing the playoffs back a week.

Yeah, but you can't do that every time this happens to a team.  This will probably happen several more times with different teams

Yes! How dare Covid allow for the Titans to get an advantage when playing the Bills.   Screw Covid, the Titans must play this weekend NO MATTER WHAT! 

 

This is a football board, not a COVID freak out board, hence the discussion on how it affects football related events.

It appears highly likely that it occurred after the game. No positives on the Vikings.
