They will either have to add a week at the end of the season, or eliminate the week 17 if other teams face the same problem.

Cut the rosters in half and just play 2 handed touch.

It looks like they held unauthorized practices on HS fields when they were supposed to be in quarantine. A real fly in the ointment is the players do not get paid for forfeits, this was negotiated before the season. Bills players could really get screwed here.

One other thing the NFL a could do is to shut the league down for a week, making it everyone’s bye week. The teams who had a bye should play only.

Buffalo - Tenn is now going to Tuesday. If its played, Buffalo - KC next Thursday will move to Sunday, thus no Thursday game.

Sucks for Bills, but good for football fans and bookmakers for sure.

Honestly I don't get the forfeit calls. I think it sends the wrong message as it is wholly unfair to the rest of the teams that one team gets an automatic win. I'll continue to state what should be the common sense call, stop the delays and force the team to play with whoever they can bring to the field. Why did the NFL mandate these new practice squad and roster size rules? It was supposedly to help cushion the blow if a team had a run of positives. Well here it is, now go out and follow what you set up and say Titans you have to play. I didn't like how MLB seemed to treat the Cardinals with kid gloves when they had a run of positives. No team should get a break and every team in every sport should prepare for the worst but act in ways that brings out the best.

I dont like any of this. Buffalo has to play Tuesday then come back on Sunday to play the Chiefs? One more team gets a mini outbreak I think season will be over.

At the end of the day I'm not going to bash the Titans like many are. There are so many teams probably breaking protocol, staff and players that there's no point in bashing them. Its just too chaotic making in season scheduling adjustments.
Fuxk this virus though. Tests negative one day, positive the next? Wtf is this shit? I bet as a whole we have no idea what the fuck this virus is.
Really though. Fuck this stupid virus or whatever it is.

TB has only 1 timeout left, Nagy and Foles throw on 2nd down with a minute and 15 sec or so left... incomplete, throw AGAIN on 3rd down and completes it, TB timeout and give Brady double amount of time then he should have to win the game.
And part of the reason he doesnt win is because he forgot what down he was on...
Classic. This is what we are gambling on during this virus.

G James Daniels out for season for Bears and you should be expecting Vita Vea for Bucs to be out long time too. Evans looks injured. Gronk looks like he's about to retire with his knee.
Injury lives matter!

Wouldn't mind seeing this game cancelled
In my FF league we are starting Diggs but for this season we are allowing owners to say - ahead of time - who they wish to start in place of someone if their game is cancelled because of Covid. For us we said David Montgomery who got 18.90 points tonight for us. If this game takes place Montgomery's points stay on our bench. If it is not - we get his points.

With presumptive Jets players and coaches the latest to test positive, postponed games might be the closest they get to a win this season.

Okay I'm going to vent. Is all this really worth it? The chaos, the conflict, the injuries, the mental toll this is having on everybody. For goodness sakes Brady forgot what down it was on his way to possibly a game winning drive. Not saying covid played a role but what on earth is happening right now in America? Evans, Gronk are gimping around and its not even halfway through the season. 2 possible season ending injuries occurred yesterday alone. Even if its a false positive for that Jets player arent cases going back up in some places in America? I try to be optimistic or as optimistic as the next guy but I have just come to the realization we have no idea what the fuck is going on and only reason why sports is going on is to instill some sense of calm in a world that is completely going to shit.
Absolutely positively extraordinarily shocked we are basically 7 months in and we arent that much better than we were then. Dont kid yourself, we arent that much better.

I think we are getting closer than you think to having some pretty basic understandings here, but due to political environment and everyone having an agenda things won't get out. Here is what a handful of doctors feel fairly confident in, but they can't say it as fact because their community works in scientific studies that take time and wants definitive conclusions.
1. You need a large dose of the virus to get sick from it. This takes 20 minutes or more near someone not wearing a mask, unclear if you will ever get it even with hours of exposure with masks on. You probably aren't going to get it from touching surfaces that have virus on it and then touching your face unless someone coughed or sneezed directly onto your hand.
2. The asymptomatic version is very unlikely to be caused by a different virus, they are most likely cases where someone got exposure in smaller amounts. The smaller amounts are not enough to make you sick enough to where your body responds in a way that gives you symptoms, but they are enough to produce positive results showing some presence of the virus and some presence of antibodies fighting it. These people could spread the virus, but they are expelling a lot less of it which makes it likely if they spread it that person will also be of the asymptomatic version. Whenever a vaccine is implemented we all will be catching the virus and hopefully having an asymptomatic case as we'll have enough antibodies to kill off most of the virus, but what it can't kill will be a small enough dose that it doesn't significantly affect us.
3. The unfortunate fact is the 24-48 hour period where you don't have symptoms yet or they are mild enough to not be noticed that you are actually the most contagious. Having a mask on will help, but people tend to think no symptoms means I'm fine and they take masks off with friends, family or coworkers. If you truly want to protect elderly family members, wear a mask around them at all times and keep your distance. Stop trying to put it on other people to keep you from getting it, be the person who stops the transmission chain instead.
4. Most importantly, there is no such thing as 100% fact of anything. Some small number of people will get the vaccine and still get a life-threatening case. Some will get sick from just a short exposure to an infected person. Someone will get it from a surface. You can never say anything with 100% certainty, but that's what is getting in the way of better messaging on this. You can say you are 99.9% safe from something and someone will fire back about the 0.1% that you aren't safe from.
Knowing all this, we see when and how an NFL team is likely to spread this. Its almost always going to be spread amongst team members and likely to be the asymptomatic version. The handful of players who had symptoms probably got it away from the team, most likely from family or friends. Many players and people in general probably have antibodies already because of past light exposure to it to the level where if they got more fully exposed they might have enough of a defense to prevent it from being a serious case.
