I'm not sure folks here understand that all parties involved want ALL GAMES TO BE PLAYED NO MATTER WHAT. They will continue to stall and debate until they can find a way to play the games. Forfeiture is the absolutely last possible alternative for the NFL. I do not even give a ***** about a forfeit, reschedule it to week 18 I'm fine with that. 1

Pure speculation - the league will wait to see if Sunday is still feasible based on tomorrow’s results. If there are no positives they will move the game to Monday or Tuesday assuming there are no positives on Saturday, Sunday, Monday. If there are, they will postpone until week 18. 2

So at best we really wont know anything for sure until Saturday. Unless they have a positive test tomorrow, then the weekend is shot. But if they have no positives tomorrow, then we wait and see. And if no positives Saturday, then they get back in Sunday and game is Monday. But any positives tomorrow or Saturday blow the game out of the water and the league decides whether to reschedule or forfeit.

I do not want a forfeit.

LOL, exactly what I just typed out too.
scribo Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 Surely, the NFL has some sort of internal deadline to make a decision regarding Sunday. Wonder how much longer they are going to make us wonder if we should get a new keg this weekend or not.

The Bills would be scheduled to fly out Saturday and need to know before then. Last week, they made the call on titans/Steelers on Friday. So we will see. 1

I don’t see how it would be possible to play on Titans on Monday unless the Chiefs game is moved back. I wonder if it could be played on Friday or Saturday....

I thought the league called off the Sunday Steelers game on Thurs, after 2 more players tested positive. BUT, at that time they said it would be postponed to Mon or Tues. Then when they still had players testing positive Fri and Sat, they rescheduled for Week 7. I think part of it is the league infection control guys wanted some time to sort out what was going on.

This would be my guess as well that we hear something Friday. Although the Pats did fly to KC Monday morning and flew back after the game. It would suck if the Bills had to do that but they may have to.

Previously covered back in the 70s pages of this thread, the NFL can not LEGALLY televise games on Saturdays from Sept to Dec. The game could be played Saturday, but it cant be aired. And I dont think the NFL is going to give up a prime time Chiefs/Bills game.

I think one thing has become abundantly clear in the last few days...the word 'fair' can be thrown out the window for the 2020 NFL season., especially if they want to play all of the games. Some teams will inevitably be put at a competitive disadvantage, maybe even the Bills. Such is life in the pandemic era.
