I seriously doubt they are out of shape and not getting treatment for injury

 

There is a big difference between being in shape and being in game shape.

Are fans allowed at the stadium? If so wonder how many will be Bills?

I think I heard 8000 fans.  With the delay I doubt many will be Bills fans unless they live local.

This is just too comical its sad.  Patriots 1 new positive test 3 positives? overall... postpone game and reschedule 8 games.  Titans 22 positive tests overall including one new test... Game On!

Every explayer I have seen talk about this says, the chance of getting hurt goes up when they don’t practice.

I think b.c Patriots is fresh and Titans is at the end of it's outbreak. They have specialists that are working with them in this.

I'm not buying what you're selling about the Titans, they've been holding workouts

 

Still not the same as getting in pads and hitting each other in practice for the last two weeks.  They had illegal workouts a couple times in shorts.

I think its more about $$$$ and they cant figure out how to reasonably delay the game without using their back pocket 18th week.  It certainly has nothing to do with them thinking all is well.

Not just ex-players.  There's an interview on buffalobills.com where Micah Hyde is asked about the impact of being out of the facility and working remotely, and that's exactly what he says: that if you gave him a game plan, he could go and play a game but the risk of injury without practice would be much higher

This is exactly why IMHO the NFL ought to open up and be transparent.

 

It may all make sense given details of timing of the positive tests and the known exposures. 

 

But without information about what's been going on, it appears to be extending very favorable treatment to some teams vs forcing others to prepare two game plans at once and letting them dangle in uncertainty

And the issue with players not getting paid if the games not played.

They had a bye week plus 2 days, after playing 3 games. You guys go ahead and worry about the Titans conditioning level.

 

Yes the time off may help them recover from some injuries, but not the same as true team practices.  A few sessions in shorts isn't the same particularly since players were without a pre-season and mini camp. 

 

If I were the Bills I'd run the hurry-up as much as they can and test their conditioning.

They have had 1 practice for less than 2 hours in the last 14 days.

I agree.  They should be.

Maybe the NFL should reschedule the Tuesday game a few more days so the Titans can get more practice time in and you won't have to worry about them pulling hamstrings

And now for something completely different...

 

The Sabres pulled a coup tonight signing Taylor Hall, the consensus top free agent in the NHL. They were the last team anyone expected to sign him. They were the last team Hall was expected to join because he said he was looking to play for a winner.

 

But apparently two things attracted him. 1) Playing with Jack Eichel, and 2) Playing for head coach Ralph Krueger again. He played for RK in Edmonton and he was his favorite coach.

 

It was an incredible move by new GM Kevyn Adams, who just this morning Mike Harrington in the Buffalo News declared was D.O.A. based on day one of free agency, were he basically signed a couple depth players, while letting 2 players Jason Botterill traded for just walk out the door for nothing. A real mic drop moment.

 

Let's hope Kevyn Adams pulled a Brandon Beane and got a Diggs for his Allen.
