I was MUCH more upset when the Chiefs were given the Saturday game than I'd be about rescheduling the Bengals/Bills for the following weekend. You guys are all just circle jerking each other getting more and more riled up. "I heard this from Bills radio!" "I read that on Bills message board!" Blah blah blah. |

2 posts? Definitely here to troll. There's been nothing but virtue signaling over this situation. |
I mean what other team could just tell the NFL that they are going to not make up week 17 and also not going to play week 18 at all and are ok with the #2 or #3 seed….
Bills could easily go down this path and behind closed doors say to each other, “We can basically get three weeks off here and then play at home for the 1st playoff game”. It was up in the air anyways if they’d win that game and knock KC out of the #1 seed…..they can just sit back and tell ole Roger that nah we just need more time to rest our bodies errr minds and need weeks off to prepare for the playoffs errr mental health. |
Here’s an idea: cancel the Ravens/Bengals game and Bills/Patriots games and play the Bengals game again this weekend.
Ravens and Patriots can’t win their division and this game would determine playoff seeding |

People keep acting like Hamlin died, he didn't. |

You sound pretty triggered in that other post I quoted lol. Imagine getting that worked up over a football game that didn't involve your team. And imagine thinking that the results of this football game have anything to do with your identity. I hope you're young enough where you never watched that guy in your avy play, because if you are you've got some serious maturing to do. |

**** your soft ass team that doesn’t want to play. Boo ****in hoo. Have fun coming to the Arrowhead Invitational again. |

"Football doesn't matter right now" Ok fine and completely understandable, but you don't get to have it both ways. The Bills are still in the playoffs. No harm, no foul, but when you start trying to do anything and everything to help the Bills in terms of football, then you're trying too hard. |
Quote:
They're not even preparing for the game this weekend. If the Pats weren't a dumpster fire I'd say they get smoked. The Bills might be done this year and I can't blame them. The delusions on this board are insane. |

Did I get over that being the place that my mother died? No. Did she? Doubtful. Did we deal with it, learn to accept it and move on? yes. This is life 101. Sometimes bad shit happens, especially to good people. It has become abundantly clear that there are a gazillion resources available to these individuals that most people can only dream of to get through these difficult times. I know they were on TV crying, hell I choked up too. Nobody wants to see a 24 year old kid on the ground receiving CPR for 10 minutes while listening to psycho babble from a dude named Booger, but tell me, would this case even register on your give a shit meter if this was a kid working a chicken ****ing plucking plant at Tyson's who came across a hot wire while standing in water? The people working alongside that individual would be lucky to get an unpaid break for a few hours and then most likely would do clean up and be right back at it. |
Quote:
"People closest to Damar..." like you're on a first name basis with this guy now. Y'know what? I'd care more if my dog got hit by a car. Or if my kid broke her toe. I have only so much time and capacity for grief to allocate among the evils of the world and no, I'm not going to sit here and pretend like I've been up for 48 hours lighting candles for 'Damar' and his loved ones. And the 'or else' you're putting in all caps here is that they simply take an L. And? Ain't anybody saying to fold the franchise or fire them into the sun. They elected not to play - the 'why' of it shouldn't matter when determining how a massive industry that impacts the tens of thousands of related companies/individuals should conduct itself here. You make the call and move along. The Bills are ready to play or they aren't. And if they aren't, okay - stay home. But time and tide waits for no man. Be it Damar Hamlin, Josh Allen, Tyler Bass or Sean McDermott. Nobody is 'demanding OR ELSE' anything. They're simply moving forward. The Bills can join them should they so choose. |

Lol I gotta stop. I get it though. I've seen Bills fans do plenty of really dumb gross things, I get into disagreements all the time because I find a sizeable portion of our fanbase to be racist hicks. Anyways take care man, you seem like a real one. I said my piece, I'm not gonna lambast people more. But maybe I'll come back when actual football is discussed. I do enjoy the rivalry between the teams on the field, after you guys owning us for the first few meetings they've been some great shoot outs ever since. I'm not like other Bills fans. 13 seconds rolled off my back like water in the shower. I'm 30, all I know is losing, so just even getting games and moments like that out of the Bills I'm grateful for. And like I said, i don't get confused like any of this has to do with my life or identity. |

Go look at our thread pulling for Damar's recovery with no mentions of football implications. |
Quote:
None of this is virtue signaling. It's merely saying that I have some respect for the people who are close with him and I don't see anything wrong with not forcing a very tight turnaround to play a football game. If it's able to be rescheduled, I'm in favor of that. And yes, if my dog died, I would definitely care A LOT. |
Quote:
You're a nice guy, but a huge ****ing pussy. "Guys I don't feel right about getting the 1 seed this way" ROFL And no, it's morally superior to pretend that people are being heartless because they're holding the Bills to "football doesn't matter right now" instead of letting them have it both ways. You keep avoiding this blatant hypocrisy. |

It's weird that our two true hated bitter rivals, Broncos and Raiders, we actually get a long great with their fans. I would say the Chargers as well but they have no fans.

Have I ever said that? Have I ever implied it? I just think it's a massive ask to get an entire organization to process what just happened and have a relatively quick turnaround to hop on a plane and play a football game. So give them some more time and let them play the game. And if they're unwilling to do it, give them the forfeit. Please. I would happily take that. |
Quote:
It's about the Bills response to resuming the game. They could've resumed the game this week, and they clearly don't want to. That's fine, but you CAN' T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS. |
I’m also wondering how much pressure Roger is giving to Bills and Bengals ownership behind closed doors.
Would make everything sooooo much easier if Bills just agreed to a forfeit because it would be the “best for the NFL”. Wonder if other owners get involved and give Bills/Bengals a call |
This thread got weird. Not unexpected, but weird.

It can’t just be an indefinite period of time until the Bills are ready. Is it 1 additional week? 2? |
Quote:
Yes, if you want, you can say, "Well, the letter of law says that's a forfeit" (even though I'm not sure that's necessarily true). Or you can say, "Okay, I understand these are strange circumstances. Here's the contingency plan." You favor the former; I favor the latter. I can see why you have your position, and I think you can see why I have mine. I just think all of this stuff that's floating around about "the Bills response" etc etc is an echo chamber that so many of yourselves have gotten caught in. And it feels like such an overcorrection to be so upset about it. We can be friends again, right? |

Oh, and this is something that nobody is EVER going to say.
But many of us have listened to the Kelce podcast and many have also/or listened to some other podcast from current/ex jocks. Fellas - many of these dudes barely know each other. There are 100+ players/coaches out there. 100 people isn't a large business, but if you work at one of those places, I guarantee you that many of the people in that company don't know the faces/names of every other employee. And we've talked several times around here about how segmented locker rooms are and thus why leadership at multiple levels is so important. Mahomes is the leader of the offense, but the defense? Guys, he doesn't spend much time with the defense. He's not in the DL room. He's not running drills with those guys. Damar Hamlin is a late round backup safety who's gotten reps this year due to injuries in the Bills secondary. Do I think a bunch of dudes in the OL room were tight with him? I do not. They spend less time with Hamlin than they do the trainer. You know why football players/coaches usually call other players by their numbers instead of their names? That'd be why. These guys are co-workers. Oftentimes co-workers that work completely independently of each other, especially during the season. Sure, he has friends on the team and I'm sure the secondary room is pretty shaken up. But at a point continuing to act like this guy was best buds with everyone on that team and his condition has left them all rudderless and adrift is just silly. And man, I'm listening to some show yesterday and the idiot reporter tried to make it sound like Higgins and Hamlin had some close bond because "Higgins played at Clemons and Hamlin played at Pitt..." FFS - this has moved into farce at this point. |

As far as I know, the Bills themselves haven't said anything at all about what they want to happen. People are basically just arguing against things they read on the internet or hear on the radio. Which is, of course, a super valuable use of one's time. |
Quote:
Whatever timeframe is appropriate it needs to be defined immediately and made known to the Bills. For all we know, that has already happened. This can’t just be an indefinite period that stagnates the entire season. |
Quote:
Also, you need to check yourself, folks on here were overwhelmingly in support of Damar and the Bills, it started to turn when the game wasn't going to be played by Wednesday and twitter and others said we should do the right thing and let the Bills have the #1 seed. Most of us feel you were on your way to an L on Monday and a no contest would be more than fair for the Bills. We are becoming the villian of the NFL with our success, and this will just add to that lore. |

The message is clearly "this is bigger than football". That's fine, but the show must go on. If football doesn't matter right now, then there's nothing wrong with the Bills accepting a forfeit (or 2) and getting some time to get their shit together to be ready for the playoffs which they are still in. Anything else is unnecessarily bending over backwards for a team that has clearly said that football isn't import right now. And we are always friends! |
Quote:
That may have already happened. We don’t know. |
Quote:
Stefan Diggs is crying. Josh Allen looks like someone killed his dog. But he didn't know Mitch Morse that well so the idea that the team was so shaken up is just major exaggeration! |

in words public, maybe not but their actions indicate they did not want to play this game this week. This game shouldve been played (as originally suggested as early as Monday) by thursday night at the latest and then they couldve played their last game monday. That was about the best possible scenario. Not playing this game: huge error. |
Quote:
And if Josh Allen is more greatly impacted by the incident than Mitch Morse - so what? Brett Favre's dad died the night before a game; pretty sure he was beat up about it. Didn't mean the league was obligated to call a pause while he sorted things out. In order to take the extraordinary steps the league (and media/fans) have considered, it would be necessary to conclude that the Bills - as a WHOLE - are incapable of playing football. There is absolutely no reason - given the practicalities and realities of these segmented groups - to believe that is the case. What's happening now is similar to the mass hysteria panics you sometimes see where people start to fuel the emotions of their peers. The Bills are PUTTING themselves into a spiral here. They don't need to be here and to continue to prolong this thing does nothing but exacerbate it. The league needs to make the call and move along. |

There's too much noise pointing to that coming from Buffalo to pretend it isn't the case. |
BTW it looks like the games are on if the NFL is allowing this.

The cool thing about pron is when I start wanking usually someone starts ****ing. I have to be careful though sometimes it's a couple of dudes which I mean there's nothing wrong with that if that's your thing, but it's not my cup of tea. |
