He'll have to rearrange birthday plans for his son, but let's be realistic - he's got the resources to make significant changes to his plans on the fly. Not directed at you, ET, but considering everything that is going on, I just think its silly to take issue with a kneejerk post from an athlete making a minor complaint. For the record, I absolutely HATE everything about social media and people posting every damn feeling and thought they have, but he made exactly ONE post about it, and it was very tame. I could understand if he went on a long tirade or made tons of posts about it. That isnt the case, though. I dont feel bad for him either. As stated, this stuff happens to everyone.....but this was never worth calling him out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanSlim Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 So now the Titans/Bills game could be in jeopardy, which makes me wonder how they’ll reschedule that. This is not great Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree, but I would say the reaction is on par with the complaint - minor at best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm missing my oldest kid's birthday party every single fall as a HS Football Coach with about a $3,000 annual stipend.

I’m grateful for my HS coaches but now that I have kids, there’s no way I would be one, especially if it’s not my primary source of income. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans0021 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 This is why they had to move the game. You just can’t guarantee opponent’s safety until you get at least three or four straight days of negative tests. It was never really about the Titans being short handed for a game. With the incubation period, you could play Tuesday and expose Steelers players that might not even test positive until Saturday/Sunday, and then the spiraling effect really begins.

Thankfully I'm still home for dinner M-Th and home after about 1:00 PM on Saturday and all day Sunday. Fridays are brutal, as is the Saturday morning film/JV Game turnaround. Fridays I get here at 7:00 AM and will leave somewhere after 10:00-11:00 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they played there’s a good chance a Steeler gets it any then infects the team on the ride back and then next Tuesday we are talking about a league wide outbreak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming the positive tests stop rolling in at some point soon (tomorrow or Sunday), you probably just reopen the building Wednesday and we play Buffalo short handed minus a day of practice. If this keeps going into next week, who knows? Maybe make the Inevitable Week 18 official? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans0021 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Unless the league finds evidence the team was careless/culpable. Then we might start talking forfeits, but I’m guessing the league avoids that at all costs since handing out free wins to likely playoff teams is a real competitive balance issue.

In that case, you don’t have to delay the season unless there is another breakout. Usually it is very difficult reshuffling bye weeks because multiple teams are impacted. I remember the Ravens getting screwed the years they played Pitt in the AFC Championship or something, because there was a postponed game and Baltimore had to take their bye in week 2 or something ridiculous. Yup. Hurricane Ike hit Houston and shifted the schedule. Quote Hurricane Ike forced several changes to the 2008 schedule. The Houston Texans’ Week 2 home game against the Baltimore Ravens was first postponed to Monday, September 15, before Ike made landfall; damage to Reliant Stadium forced a further postponement, to Week 10, on Sunday, November 9, giving the Texans and the Ravens their bye weeks in Week 2. Furthermore, to accommodate this move, the Texans’ home game against the Cincinnati Bengals was moved forward from November 9 to Sunday, October 26, pushing the Bengals’ bye week from Week 8 to Week 10.[29] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelers who had to accommodate no notice or Bills who had time to adjust for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
