Their ability to play in 3 days is irrelevant. Their ability to put out a roster that does not infect their opponent should be the top concern. From the sounds of it, sounds like it is also McD’s. 
 

The Titans could derail the league by playing this week.

The CBL says the players need the opportunity to practice for two days before a game. Not sure if there is a way around that.

Apparently there is. Pats are doing it, at least as of now.

I disagree with Oct. 1. Right in the beginning of Vrabel's Oct. 1 press conference, he says he just "reminded" the team to "not gather." Words matter. He said "reminded" not "informed," the word he did use on other aspects of what he had told the team that day. They were already informed of that team direction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owtZl5eso2Q

The letter with the directive was dated 10/1. Players are saying there was nothing in writing or anything saying what to do if they had a game and couldn’t get in the facility. Game wasn’t cancelled until later in week. So they found a loophole. Still stupid and reckless, but doubt they are suspended

What real assurance do the Bills (or the league) really have that proper protocol has been followed in the past week? NONE. With yet another one or two positives today, that is at least an indication that prohibited gatherings took place beyond the now infamous Sept. 30 practice.

On to Kansas City. Might as well start that thread up.

Let’s hope so. Would be best for all involved. Let the suits in the league office decide when it is played, but this weekend seems irresponsible.

Yep, use today's practice to start installing the KC game-plan. Now, there is no way the Titans can play this weekend. One way or another, the next game will be vs KC.

According to the Titans board.  Schefter thinks an announcement about the Titans Bills game will be out shortly..  Take it for what it's worth.

Yes, I'm truly confused.  This is what someone said.....Was it @JGMcD2?  Then at the beginning of this thread, @YoloinOhio said "the titans need to go two consecutive days with no new positive tests in order to re-open their facility by Wednesday, which is the last possible day they can start practicing in order to play on Sunday"

 

Yolo, where did that info come from, if now we're hearing they could still play?

How concrete is that? I was under the impression that they were given a “don’t gather” order when the facilities shut down, and then the league included language in the 10/1 memo so that it would be consistent- if facilities are closed, teams aren’t to meet.

 

That is my understanding as well - that the Titans were told not to gather outside the facility WHEN the facility was shut down,  but the memo came out leaguewide Oct 1.

 

But as noted above there seems to be a lot of confusion about these matters.

That was stated earlier in the week (possibly Sunday) about the titans timeline. I will have to look to see who said it. However, it appears quite fluid. My head hurts

I'm just glad I'm not the only one who is confused.

 

It's "stand and deliver" time for the doctors in charge of the NFL's infection control plan.  With positive tests continuing and with confirmation that the Titans met at least once outside the facility (thus further exposure), are they truly so very confident that 2 days of negative tests would mean the Titans are clear?   If they are placing Bills coaches and players at risk of infection...Bills could then become infectious JUST IN TIME to play the league darling Chiefs.

 

There must be a giant collision between "we must keep the schedule going and the revenue flowing in!  don't cancel!" with "consider the consequences if we don't cut this off here, with one team"

Regardless of what happens with this week's game, I really hope the league comes down hard on Tennessee.  Fine the owner, fine the coaching staff, fine every player who attended that practice, and take away multiple draft picks.  The league needs to strongly discourage other teams from pulling this *****.

I think the NFL will postpone the Bills game for now, on to Kansas City,  the league will figure out the Titans situation.

 

As for any final conclusions about the Titans game, they'll postpone and see where it goes, may not even need to make it up or the league assigns a forfeit at the end to have the games add up to 16.

I think McD should shelve the Titans game plan and move on to KC's.

 

Titans may be toast and a 2020 walkover for all teams.
