Its the NFL after all...

I knew they would do something before TNF tonight because they don't want to run false Chiefs-Bills promos.

[whatdrought]

That rumor about Vrabel being suspended better be true.

 

***** the Titans.

So, if there are more Covid cases with Tennessee, how can the game go back to Sunday? Postponed? Forfeit?

wth!

 

It was ambiguous. 

 

I think how it should read is "Bills-Chiefs game being switched from next Thursday to Sunday but the Bills Chiefs game will go back to Thurs if more positive tests in Tennessee, per source.  Implied is that the Tenn. game would then either be postponed or forfeit.

 

Makes sense, NFL reluctantly agrees no way they can expect Tenn to scrape off the rust in 1-2 days (at best) so gives them 2-3 days and sacrifices the Thursday nite game

BUT NFL says "if you can't play Tues after all then Never Mind"

The titans should have to give us their 2nd rd pick.

I hope we give them such a beating that the Titans will hate the NFL for not allowing them to forfeit this game !!!

Nah, they'll probably have their first round of players back off the COVID list because of the delay. Bills screwed again.

[QB Bills]

The flip side of this is if there are positive tests out of Tennessee tomorrow and the game gets cancelled/postponed, it's the Chiefs who are getting shafted by going against a well-rested Bills team

This is crap.  The Chiefs/Bills game should be moved to Monday night.  
 

The Bills shouldn’t be penalized because the Titans can’t socially distance.  
 

However, the Bills do get an extra two days to prepare/rest for the Titans and now an extra day to prep for the Chiefs. 

[BillsMafi$]

So tennesse will be without a good chunk of players if we play Tuesday?

[Saxum]

Bills should play Titans and then fake a COVID issue to get rest delay to following Monday or Tuesday.

I predict:

 

The Tuesday night game will not be nationally broadcast, unlike the Patriots game.

 

The Chiefs game will not be nationally broadcast and will not feature Buck/Aikman. So the Bills lose their big national night game vs. the Chiefs because of the Titans' negligence. Oh, and the Chiefs get extra rest.

 

I predict both games are national.

 

This could end up doing the franchise a favour. Imagine destroying the Titans and Chiefs! 

[MJS]

Teams play other teams on short rest all the time. It's a non issue. I'm happy they will play the games.

[muppy]

this whole mess is giving me a massive headache

[Logic]

The thing that sucks the most is losing the nationally televised Bills vs Chiefs Thursday nighter. 

Now it'll just happen at 1pm Sunday and get lost in the sea of games.

The Titan's screw-up cost the Bills a primetime showcase. Boooooo!!!!!!

[fansince88]

Ahhhaaaa. We got them right where we want them!

Did they say what time Sunday?

[gobills404]

So we have to risk the health of our players against the titans and have 2 less days than the Chiefs to prepare for a game that could end up deciding the #1 seed in the AFC. Goodell is one smooth-brained pos.

[Giuseppe Tognarelli]

Why in the hell is the Chiefs game not moved to Monday night? Gives us more rest and retains national spotlight. What's going on? Why does NE get afternoon games moved to Monday night twice, but the Bills have their premier night game of the season moved to a generic Sunday daytime slot?

Do we know for sure it's an early game?
