HalftimeAdjustment Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 Assuming that there will be other teams heavily impacted at some point, the league should just add a Week 18. Using the bye week for insurance is not enough. What happens if Pittsburgh, for example, has to have another game postponed or changed even though they had no positive tests?

I think we may be headed that way. It’s the most “logical” thing. It may not be fair that some teams need to play the week in between the playoffs, but this was never going to be a “fair” season

Golden*Wheels Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 I will gracefully accept their forfeiture. 1
YoloinOhio Posted October 7, 2020 Author Posted October 7, 2020 Another option is outright game cancellation, and then using win % to determine playoff seeding 1

Right, if the league finds they weren’t following protocol they may hand them an L. Not sure if they did indeed find proof of that
loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 As much as I’d like to play this game if they can find an alternative date. Barring that what else do you do? it should be forfeited, cancelled . It keeps the league moving forward without going crazy. It seems that even one or two positives per team has shown the ability to continue to play on..I mean if we are talking about an asterisk season well the pats already down a game as their starting qb couldn’t play. It’s just the reality of this year. . Right now this whole mess is pretty much a half a roster on one team.

Magox Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 I would hate to win a game by forfeit but a simple cancellation is unacceptable. No matter how you rationalize it, the bottom line is that the Titans continue to keep having players come back infected. A cancellation could have playoff implications that put the Bills at a potential disadvantage. I'm sorry, but if there is a choice between the two it has to be a forfeit. 1

Ei-chi-wa-wa.. Pretty soon we are going to progress to the place where teams just leave the field. No hand shakes or fist bumps or fights.. 1

It's their players that continue to keep getting infected and a cancellation potentially puts Buffalo at a disadvantage in playoff scenarios.
wiseman3 Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 Why is it so hard to play the Titans on Monday or Tuesday, then move the chiefs to Saturday or Sunday? That seems like an incredibly easy fix, as long as all other tests are negative 1 1
Negan Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 Bring on the forfeit, gross negligence of protocols deserve a Loss 1

If the game is cancelled they have no choice but award a forfeit... They are going to try everything to get the game played though... the chance that it get cancelled and not rescheduled is almost zero. Don't see how this puts at us a disadvantage?? they cant let one team play 15 games and the rest play 16. NEVER going to happen.
