I bet if you took the most athletic 30 or so TBD posters, they would hold their own against a good JV squad.  Maybe.

I’m confidant that the 30 most athletic tbders would manhandle most JV teams.

Reporters now saying the Titans were indeed directed on SEPT 29 that no group workouts were permitted until the team facility was reopened. If the issue is that this directive wasn't properly communicated by the team to the players, punish the team. If it was conveyed to the players, punish the players. But heads need to roll.

 

 

 

I am starting not to care if it was or wasn't properly communicated to the players.

 

How freakin stupid & arrogant would you have to be to go ahead and assume since you weren't told, after delaying one game, yep, just go ahead and mingles together.

Probably true, but I think we'd probably end up fielding the 30 LEAST athletic members....

Yeah right.  Just like University of Alabama could beat the worst NFL teams.

It's called a CONTROL GROUP.

 

Don't you people conduct research?! According to my social media feeds, like, everyone seems to be a researcher.

I have a strong conspiracy theory belief that Tre doesn't have a back injury and he has told the team he won't play in Tennessee. He almost opted out for the season because of COVID concerns. I don't blame him either, I wouldn't play this game. 

 

I mean, you can have a conspiracy theory, plenty of folks do, but why not take things at face value until proven otherwise?

 

I fell off a mere 4' scaffold once, onto a sharp corner of plywood, and hit in just the right place to ding a nerve.  It hurt when I did it but not too bad, I got up and went back to work, but the next 3 days were agony.  I could sit, I could stand, and I could lie down but the transition between those positions was "scream" pain shooting from my back through my whole body.  Strong muscle relaxants, steroids, and pain killers took the edge off to where I didn't actually scream I just wanted to.

 

Maybe Tre hurt his back in Vegas and is still at the point where he's getting lots of treatment and it does him more good to be in the treatment room than out stretching and watching.

Case in point. Down where I am in my part of Australia we haven't had a signifcant COVID-19 outbreak in months yet we are still rotating between working in the office and at home because we know this ***** won't go away until there is a vaccine. I really want this game to happen, I absolutely want to see but if it means pushing it back beyond much further than Monday I support the Titans forfeiting.

I'll go run around random objects in my yard, trip over landscaping stones, chase my dogs, and form-tackle my young daughter so I've got some film to submit for evaluation. 

 

I once held a "Common Man Combine" party. Invited a bunch of folks over for a day of drinking and running drills. We did the usual Combine drills (marked out 40 yards on the sidewalk), and then some drinking/chugging contests.

 

Pretty funny day.

 

Suffice to say, none of us got a call to come to camp.

I get needing to be flexible in times like these but you would think they would know one way or the other by now.

Bills fans offering to sub for Titans players.  Will 2020 never cease to amaze??  😜

Remember the Australian wild fires and how we thought 2020 was off to a bad start? 
 

Now I want to be concussed so the Bills go 5-0 because someone ate a bat and the world ran out of toilet paper.

This is turning into an embarrassment for the league. However, it is not surprising coming from an organization which after Hurricane Katrina gave the New York Giants an extra home game by moving the New Orleans game there and their reasoning was...9/11. Man Tagliabue was a terrible commisioner and Goodell is giving him a run for his money.

Call me credulous, but I hadn't thought of that. 

Hmmm.  Aren't there surveillance cameras to which the league has access?  In a memo that now the recordings must be kept for 30 days?

 

So we wouldn't need to trust them on that?

They should ask the Cheaters for their surveilance footage - I'm sure the video they have is the most comprehensive

I’m not totally discounting that. I find it a bit odd that he was not even stretching. Literally hasn’t been seen since after the game on Sunday. Maybe that’s normal for back injuries. 

 

Depending on the nature of the back injury, it could be much more in his interest to be in the treatment room than out on the field stretching.

If you were running real combine drills - I'm shocked no one died!

But that does sound like fun.

We were all in our early/mid 30s at the time. Just young enough to make it through the day, but old enough to take two weeks to recover and WISH we had just died.

Haven't totally caught up in this thread so not sure if discussed.

 

On the issue of players not getting paid if game not played - if game is forfeit why not have part of the punishment/fine from the NFL be that the Titans pay the game checks for the opposing team of any game cancelled due to their negligence?
