Strange that they released this tonight, with the caveat of “no new cases”...  

 

Why not just wait until tomorrow morning to see if the Titans predictably pour more gasoline on their dumpster fire of an organization?  
 

With the move to Tuesday, couldn’t they conceivably start the clock with tomorrow’s testing (confirmed on Saturday) and Saturday’s testing (confirmed on Sunday) and then let them practice Sunday afternoon and Monday? 
 
Is it test negative tomorrow or else?

 

 

Probably travel logistics for the bills. Plane and hotel, get that all squared up.

They are too busy trying to figure out how to fix fantasy football for the world.

This is unprecedented in the NFL.

 

This is like NHL, MLB, NBA playoffs:  highly important games separated only by a day of rest.

[Do The Reich Thing]

How can the Pegulas, Beane, and McD be okay with this? The NFL just gets to pull a home primetime game from Buffalo? Screw that! I hope the Bills beat the absolute tar out of the Titans now. No let up.... drop a damn 50 burger on them.

Lord....the wailing and whining.....I hope the actual Bills team and coaches got more sack than most of the posters here....criminy...

If you're a Bills player to you want to go and play against a virus infected team at their stadium?

Is anyone even remotely confident that the titans are clean through Tuesday? I can’t see it happening. Let’s not forget they already had 2 days clean and then 2 more with positives. I’m not holding my breath thinking it stops today

All depends on when they had their last illegal off site practice. If it was over the weekend, then maybe it stops soon.

What happens when the they're clear tomorrow but Tannyhill or one of the Titan Up boys tests positive Saturday through Tuesday?

 

I think week 18 happens.  It may go longer than that. That’s just  my guess.

 

I feel for the Mods in these murky waters with no clear lines. This is a MESS for everyone, but it’s better than no football at all! You’ll never forget this season! This is like the Blizzard of ‘77 for football.

They had the chance to opt out....

I guess most assumed the NFL wouldn't be this reckless.

Apparently these days social media renders the NFL.com site out of date.  They should try to keep up 🤷‍♂️

Silver lining: gives Tre'davious White two more days to fix his back.

[BillsfaninSB]

Who on the Titans who tested positive has to sit if Tuesday does happen?

Shefter is FAR faster than the dinosaurs running the league official website🤣

At this point, it really just is what it is. No sense in being upset over it. Just find a way to get a win and get to an inconceivable 5-0.

I mean, it was known by everyone before the season started there would not be a bubble. The protocols were negotiated, 2 days of no positives and game on, etc. I don't really understand why so many if you are freaking out. NFL is doing what they said they would do.

They had two straight days of no positive tests and then suddenly had three positives in two days.  Whoever came up with that protocal might want to adjust to the data coming in.

To give the Bills an extra two and 1/2 hours to prepare for the Chiefs?  Who knows.

I also think it is inevitable. But I think the NFL is trying to delay that for as long as possible. Otherwise if they just start turfing games to week 18, they may have to add week 19 and push back the playoffs. 

 

I don't think Goodell deserves too much abuse for this (maybe for other things, though). They are in a very difficult situation. Teams have to be willing to go with the flow and adjust on the fly. They knew that coming into the season. There will be some changes that might give one team a slight advantage. But that's nothing new---happens with the schedule every year. You just deal with it.

 

If a situation like the Titans happens to another team, i fear the NFL may have to pause the season.
