Normally Buffalo would smoke a shitty New England team, but it might actually be closer since they have little prep.

The league’s handling of this has been ridiculous

A team that is considering not playing this Sunday is suddenly going to become some mentally tough juggernaut?

They have shown me nothing but they are mentally weak and lack leadership.

The public’s inability to cope just makes everything harder for anyone in position of authority , trying to please everyone never works but for reason you still have try and do the impossible.

Absurd. NFLN is basically unwatchable.

They are proving what we all knew, as much as they want to claim they are just people like us it’s obvious they don’t live in the real world.

Hamlin isn’t dead but you would think he was unjustly murdered on MNF. Riots in Portland if they play football this weekend wouldn’t shock me at this point.

I don't get it either. Only thing I can figure is some of the players getting mouthy after the superbowl win and calling themselves a dynasty. It makes no sense.

Pure jealousy, penis envy, boredom.

The Chiefs are objectively a classy franchise and likeable team (Reid, Mahomes, Chris Jones etc.), but people are desperate to hate something, so they focus on Mahomes' family (LMAO), or Juju's social media stuff (which is nothing but fluff and positive, and he's a genuine guy himself), or it used to by Tyreek, etc.

At least with the Pats and Brady they actually did cheat and benefit from insane luck and borderline conspiracy over the years. But even then the hatred is still rooted in them being great and everyone else suffering because of it. All the other fans suffer for KC's success.

Feels good.

I haven't really heard anything to lead me to the mentally weak part, at least not the players.... I mean, there are probably lots of examples of players saying they were crazy shaken up, didn't want to play, etc; after major injuries. That doesn't mean the Bills players wouldn't have played.

With the little info that's come out, it seems like coaches/GM might be white knighting them a bit too much... and yeah, they might lack leadership like the NFL is at the moment.

Too many cooks and giving everyone a say isn't great when you have a billion dollar industry to run. The NFL really should have already had a policy in place for something like this, even as uncommon as it is, and had the NFLPA signed off..... if there's a death on the field, do you suspend play or who approves/agrees to that... and if so, what's the policy for forfeit or resuming, etc.

I thought suspending play was the way to go and we can certainly evolve from "the way it's always been"... but it's not inhumane to plan ahead a tiny bit, either.

What do you find so ridiculous?

They postponed the game and as of yet haven't made any determination further.

They're playing all week 18 games.

That's what the NFL has done.

The only thing an objective person can criticize is Kelce’s behavior on the field. I can see how it would be really annoying to opposing fans. But it ain’t exactly uncommon in this league.

KC is far from an unlikeable team.

What is upsetting is that the order of games mattered and the league botched it.

If the Cincy / Buffalo game is played after KC (and KC wins) then the Bengals will not care…had the Bengals beat the Bills and KC beat LV then the Patriots had an easier path to the playoffs as the Bills wouldn’t care…had the Bills beaten the Bengals (highly unlikely but there was a slim chance, then KC would have probably rested against the Raiders.

Just terrible the league didn’t maintain the game order.

Sir, this is a message board. I’m going to need you to stop underreacting.

The Bengals would still be playing for the 2 seed regardless of what KC does. If the Bills had beaten the Bengals, the Chiefs would not rest anyone due to the fact that the Bills would still have a shot to lose to NE in week 18. These scenarios have been covered many times here this week.

Pure jealousy.
They wish they had Mahomes. Hell even Reid and Kelce. Our team is ****ing awesome.

SOB beat me to it!
