    Sorry Ben our fans are cowards with lack of foresight. We let the league push us around and do nothing. NOW I see all the talking heads saying they should be forced to forfeit the Steelers game too. But when Sdot says it a week ago, I'm the idiot. Come in here and say sorry and I might forgive yinz.

    It would be absurdly and indefensibly unfair if the Titans are made forfeit one game and not the other.

    It wouldn’t surprise me however.

    There's a report that the Titans broke protocol and worked out at a school, while they were locked out of their facility.

    Sounds like my post are a Thorn in your backside. Just don't come changing your tune when the Bills get a free win and the Steelers are forced to play the Tennessee Coronas.

    If they make the Titans forfeit the Bills game and not the Steelers then their needs to be some kind of penalty for the Titans surrounding this game. I’d say something like strip the Titans of a home game and make them play the game here in Pittsburgh instead of Nashville. You can’t just say the Bills can have the forfeit and just go along and say the Steelers are still gonna play the Titans with no penalties at all. If they play the game with the Steelers their has to be some kind of punishment or disciplinary act tied to that game. My vote is strip the Titans of the homefield and make them play in Pittsburgh. That is more then a fair compromise rather then just forfeiting.

    Supposedly the Titans have had multiple positive tests including Tannehill. It’s unfathomably stupid that they met up for unauthorised workouts last week when Covid was tearing through the locker room, utterly crazy.

    The league should come down hard on them, at a minimum forfeit every game missed including the Steelers one, and removal of draft pick(s) is in order.

    I can already see the scenario.

    On Sunday morning, a towel boy for the Steelers tests positive. Goodell makes the Steelers forfeit to the Titans... for a game that was rescheduled because half their team behaved like idiots and the virus swept through their locker room... but making Tennessee forfeit would have been unfair... or something.

    Now we know why there was positive tests popping up all week. That game probably could have been played.

    Goodall should come down hard on them. 2 Forfeits.

    Absolutely. Their stupidity could have completely derailed the season for multiple teams.

    I do not even want to hear compromise at this point I heard on radio today (non verified at this point) that the Pats Gilmore had a positive spit test before the game, yet because so many these test were false positive they let him play. Then the more accurate test came back positive. I know so many rumors, but the NFL always pushes the problem down the road until it becomes an insurmountable issue (Ray Rice ring a bell). Either get real about this, make them forfeit in retrospect, or continue to lose viewership. It has nothing to do with the Steelers getting screwed, it has everything to do with not setting a standard for everyone and sticking to it.

    He should!!!


    Sadly, he will not. I doubt Goodell and, the NFL and NFLPA for that matter, is going to engage in a "Forfeit Frenzy". Even if that was not the case, Goodell has proven time and time again he is by far the worst Commish in North American Sports when it comes to administration of disciplinary action.

    That would not shock me in the slightest. Goodell would have nothing to gain financially via the airwaves if Tennessee did anything wrong. Now if it were the Steelers, he would make a killing off of that in terms of news.


    Compared to Tennessee, Pittsburgh is a flagship NFL Franchise. To many Media Outlets, something big in a negative way like COVID 19 happening to Pittsburgh is a good mine. For further reference, see the 2018 Steelers Season. :eek:

    For what it’s worth, I heard on the radio, forfeiting a game was only added to the potential penalties after our game was moved.

    They will not forfeit our game. They may Sunday’s. Plus other heavy penalties.
