He’s the QB. The Titans have been getting new positives every day including today. Cam who has to talk to many of the coaches and be in close contact with the entire offense would be extremely fortunate to not spread it. So really it’s likely we get the same roll out over the next week. I don’t know how you have a game 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how you have a game Agreed I don't know the ins and outs of testing and if they can clear guys on short notice, but the NFL seems really short sighted here not building in more bye weeks for potential reschedules in terms of outbreaks You just need to look at what happened in MLB to see the need to flexibility. Obviously double headers aren't an option in Football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically, if a player/coach test positive on a Friday or Saturday, it is just impossible to know if the issue is contained or not. The league should adopt a rule, any positive on the weekend, game automatically rescheduled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity_Cometh Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Damn this virus. Ugh. I was looking forward to that matchup too. The return of the MVP under the best coach in the league versus the prodigal superstar Mahomes. My job had a scare a week ago with the virus. Had to shut it down and all employees get tested to return after the place was sanitized by biohazard specialists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piquel Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 NE didn't make the flight to KC. Sounds like it's getting delayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanSlim Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 You just can’t risk the game tomorrow. The Titans thought the OLB coach was an isolated case and kept him away from the team on the trip to Minnesota. As we all know now, that wasn’t the case and they didn’t find out until days later. The Patriots probably won’t know until Monday if it’s spread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUGmen Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Talking about Monday but not sure what difference that makes given the incubation period. Also, I’m sure ESPN would fight that with MNF going up against Pats/Chiefs unless the game was played at like 6pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttitansfan4life Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Maybe the Patriots should forfeit games too considering that’s what the majority of NFL fans want the Titans to start doing.... Clearly this doesn’t just stop with Newton and it’s going to spread like wildfire. Patriots should be playing this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
