This is a big moment.

Then a week 18 if necessary. NFL messed up. I find it staggering that they did not have a proper contingency plan in place. Goodell - as useful as a fishnet condom!
par73 Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 Remember, T. White seriously considered opting out this season to protect his family. If I were a player, I would have no interest in playing Tuesday in that environment. 2
BornAgainBillsFan Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 Forgive me if this was covered earlier. I don't have time to check. I'm not one who buys into too many conspiracy theories, but isn't it a bit too convenient that the Patriots keep getting their games postponed, when the thing they need most right now is time to get their starting QB back from COVID retreat? What a CROCK OF ****!!!!! I'm beginning to think you Patriot paranoiacs are onto something. 1 1
Rochesterian Bills Fan Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 Even if this game goes ahead I have a horrible feeling about it. 1

CSBill Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) Mods, is this a record thread? And, 160 pages and we still really know nothing. Edited October 12, 2020 by CSBill 2
RunTheBall Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 There hasn’t been one instance of transmission on the football field. As long as sick Titans players aren’t in the visitors locker room coughing up a storm just prior to the Bills entering they will be fine. Not saying it’s optimal at all but if you are going to play games you have to accept some risk and so far playing football on the field seems extremely low. The only way to get to zero risk is to not play games. 1

What a CROCK OF ****!!!!! I'm beginning to think you Patriot paranoiacs are onto something. It does make me scratch my head when the Pats have their outbreaks mostly contained (outside, you know, two of their best players) but keep getting postponements. Meanwhile, despite Tennessee being a plague ship and still unable to open their facilities, putting their ability to host games in jeopardy, it's full steam ahead. 2 1

That's because you're accustomed to Bills teams of the past. The kind of teams that lose critical games to the other guys' backups and generally come up small at the worst possible times. Thankfully I think those days are behind us -- from the coaching staff to the QB on down, this seems like a team that's going to be ready to play no matter what. I mean, you could tell Josh Allen that the game has been moved to tomorrow morning, in the parking lot of the abandoned drive-in two towns over, and the first words out of his mouth would be "Who needs a ride?" 2

This is a “bet on yourself” deal for Hall that opens the door to a long-term deal later. Both Adams and Hall said a one-year contract isn’t the long-term goal. Allows the team and player to develop a relationship as well. Great, great signing. 2
smuvtalker Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) So the Chiefs game is on Monday night now??!!! Yes, please, and one more thank you!! 😁😁 ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?!! Edited October 12, 2020 by smuvtalker 1
Rochesterian Bills Fan Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 Test results from Tenn should be announced soon. Fingers crossed... 1
