What's the likelihood of that happening?

Seems like this would impact the competitive balance by giving the Bills a free conference win.

There are pictures of them practicing together against NFL rules when they were supposed to be separated and quarantining.

I think they will be made an example of. Forfeited game, huge fine. If its found that the players did it with the coaches knowledge or collusion, we could be looking at loss of draft picks or coach suspension.

Goodell is not going to frick around with this.

I don't see them going that far with punishment out of the gate.

Titans get an L in the loss column. Bills, no win, loss, or tie.
Goodell takes all draft picks away for 2 years.

Problem is a forfeit punishes 15 teams for the actions of 1 of those teams. Doesn’t make a whole lotta sense

Possible bc the NFL is trying to hide the fact they royally fricked up the schedule by now adding additional bye weeks. Putting the blame on the Titans instead of on poor scheduling would be an NFL move

What's the alternative?

Pushing back the playoffs a week, giving everyone else a Bye but the Titans and Bills? That's the only alternative unless you just "cancel" the game and both teams only play 15.

True, they’re desperately begging for the season to be canceled. Doubt any of them have left their basements since March

There’s plenty of alternatives

Pretty logical. They likely won’t be the only teams needing to use that week to play rescheduled games

Well, if it's on Reddit, then it MUST be true!

That's the only alternative.

But the Titans broke protocol and practiced together. If the Coaches were in on that, Goodell is going to lay the fricking hammer on them.

That’s the easiest alternative but not the only one.

Plenty of ways to lay the hammer without messing with the competitive balance of the league

Most divisions and home field advantages are decided by a game or fewer, you can’t just gift a win to a team.

Did they illegally video an opponent's practice sessions?

Did they deflate footballs?
