Do you know how data works? Are you really suggesting that MULTIPLE players in the same organization all experienced an incubation period longer than a week from when they were exposed? What is the likelihood of this mathematically? Yes some people don't show symptoms past one week, but the science and data overwhelmingly support that 90+% of people who get the virus will have a incubation period of a week or less. To suggest that the Titans had multiple different outliers is flat out ridiculous. Regardless, the Titans blatantly broke protocol and put the rest of the league at risk. This is on them.

Yes there is. Its why the fines for instances like bountygate were so much lower than people expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they reportedly reached out to the Vikings to mention that it was not allowed, why would they also not reach out to the team with the actual outbreak confirmed? Wouldn’t have made sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To suggest that the Titans had multiple different outliers is flat out ridiculous. Regardless, the Titans blatantly broke protocol and put the rest of the league at risk. This is on them. i don't think you understand the definition of an outlier. the titans' last exposure to each other was on the 30th- that's 8 days ago, which is right around the average of 7.7 described in the article. whether continued positive tests in the next few days (if they happen) count as outliers depends on how robust that average is and the margin of error involved, but to this point none can be reasonably classified as one. at any rate, the titans organization has had 23 positive tests. they had 2 positives today. that's.....under 10 percent. so *even if* you want to count those as outliers, which isn't even sound reasoning whatsoever, it's by no means a statistical anomaly going by these numbers. now, that contact on the 30th was a violation of protocol, which they should and will be punished for. but we don't even actually know whether cases can be traced back to that contact! it's pure silliness to make as many leaps as you're making.

N4L Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 For the people complaining about a forfeit being bad for the pats etc, do you honestly think the Titans will beat the undefeated bills with 20 guys not playing?? Lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol If there's a forfeiture, the score is put at 2-0. So if I'm a bills fan, I want to play a game against titans backups to blow them out for potential playoff tiebreakers.

But if the titans had one violation, they can only get fined once at that max level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFlaccoSeagulls Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 It seems like the NFL is trying everything they possibly can to not punish the Titans here, and instead just pretend like it didn't happen and continue moving back the game day until both teams can play.

Partially cause there's only so much the NFL can reasonably do. But there are pics of Titans players working out at a couple high schools here in Nashville.

August4th Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 only way I see forfeits happening is if the titans have to pay CBS for costing them games 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
