    So unlike the White House the Titans have gone 2 straight days without any positive COVID tests.

    Unlike the White House, they know how to control an outbreak! :)

    Well with 20 COVID Positives that caused the cancellation of a game and forced the team they just played to go into a 3 day quarantine with their next game in doubt during that time, I wouldn't go that far.

    All the other teams know what to do, though. I am glad the NFL has made it clear that future large outbreaks like this might just cause the team in question to forfeit.

    Lmao. Aaron Rodgers has a weekly appearance on Pat McAfee's podcast and he just said "Down years for me are career years for other quarterbacks". I love him

    So, the NFL went on and allowed the game between Pats and Chiefs to be played on Monday.
    Now others NE players are testing positive for COVID19. Stephon Gilmore already confirmed he is infected.
    Surprising development.
    NOT

    They can get Lawrence, that's a good place for him. Out of the AFC which has all the great young QBs right now.

    As for Gilmore now testing positive and his proximity to Mahomes there... The CDC defines close contact as within 6 feet for more than 15 minutes. I am not that worried.

    The Haskins NFL Experience:



    I get it from Rivera's perspective. He didn't draft Haskins and IMHO would never have so he wants his "own guy". But I really don't see what Josh Allen does for you other you want to make sure you get Lawrence in the draft next April.

    What does Rivera see in Kyle Allen that the rest of the world can’t? Does he have incriminating photographs or something?

    Word on the street is that the Titans will face a HISTORIC punishment over this.

    There needs to be, if only to get the message across to all the other teams.

    What level of historic punishment? Forfeit all games (would they still play, just not be able to "win?") or pull an Adam Silver and force the owner of the Titans to sell the team.

    My guess is forfeit at least the Steelers and Bills games that they were supposed to play.

    The only way I see them forfeiting the Steelers game is if they still have this outbreak going in week 7.

    Haskins was behind in terms of knowledge and experience and hasn’t had enough time to catch up.

    Why do the Titans deserve punishment for getting infected during a pandemic?

    I figured as much. Hopefully Haskins gets another chance either later in the season or on another team.

    It's not so much getting somebody getting infected, as I think we all knew there would be infections during this season, especially given there's no 'bubble' like the NBA and NHL did to salvage their seasons. It's the sheer number of infections that have occured in just a short amount of time (about 22 now). Clearly it's an indication that perhaps the Titans haven't been following COVID protection protocols or at least not as stringently as other teams have (which is why we haven't seen this many mass infections on other teams). If the NFL determines that's the case, then yeah, there needs to be a punishment, and it needs to be in such a way that it sends a message to the rest of the teams that the NFL and NFLPA are serious about these protocols being followed.

    They were being investigated for not following the protocols, which puts everyone at risk.

    The word right now is that after the team facilities were shut down due to the outbreak, a group of Titans players decided to hold a private workout at a high school.

    I blame the NFL. They’re trying to have their cake and eat it, too. The punishment shouldn’t be too severe, should not have any consequence outside of this season.
