KingTitan Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 2 minutes ago, The BILLievers said: Yeah nah on that. Not our fault the Titans organization didn’t take this seriously and broke protocol. From my eyes it’s either the Titans forfeit, postpone until week 18, or make the Titans play with whatever players they can scrap up by Sunday. The dangers of getting information fast and not getting the whole truth. Broke protocol is being learned is inaccurate. Were they sloppy, lazy or reckless? I'd say yeah. But they worked out one day after the facility was closed and were all negative at the time. (Similar to how the Pats/Chiefs were when they recently played.) As it stands, they didn't break any NFL rule. The NFL handed out the memo to not hold workouts away from a closed building after learning of the Titans workout. No violations, poor judgement no violation at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incognito_man Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 my limited understanding preferences: (1) If it's safe, let Titans play short-handed. Force Titans players to wear masks (kidding) (2) Add a week for make-up games after week 17. Just make it work. (3) Titans forfeit (4) distant fourth, pause the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it against the rules AT THE TIME? No. While you're not wrong - you have to admit, this is incredibly tone deaf and obtuse given the current circumstances from March until current. Nobody should have to write out "don't meet anywhere until we can clear this out" given everything that's transpired in the last year. That tone deafness is having a legitimate impact on the league at large. That can't be ignored because it wasn't explicitly stated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But also It's a move that I feel confident in saying maybe any other team would have done if in their position. I say again, was it smart for players to gather at the height of the pandemic to work out together when buildings were closed, often with no masks? It wasn't.

Titans should get fixed about $500,000, lose their first round pick and forfeit both the Steelers and Bills games. Send a message that is so loud, no one will dare violate protocol again.

So going by the way the league was operating regarding incubation period, they were good and would have been allowed to play if they had a game that day (ie: Patriots/Chiefs).
