This.

This is now the second year in a row we’ve changed rules to accommodate the Bills because they were ‘upset’.

Bunch of Charmin soft ass bitches; both their players and their fans.

Pathetic .

I’m down with 8 teams per conference, no bye week. Or 8 teams each conference with top 2 seeds getting a bye.

Since you seem to believe this may become the norm, how about this: If another situation like this arises in ANY NFL game in the next 5 years, I pay you $1,000. If it doesn't, you pay me $1,000.

You sure you want to do that? I mean, taking out a second mortgage on your double wide might not be the best option in this economy...

You guys do know what 'resuscitate' means, right? Hamlin was actually dead on the field for a bit there.

Clinically dead.

Happy?

You do understand that changing the rules in the aftermath of last year's situation isn't changing the rules to accomodate the Bills, right?

Unless you somehow think the Bills are more likely to make the postseason and get to overtime and lose a coin flip than the team they are playing against?

(I'm sure some of you will point to our game this season but I'm honestly writing that off as they were still banged up and the team wasn't remotely at full strength.)

There will be plenty of film on Purdy at that point and he can be an interception machine at ISU...

I think he died twice technically

The people who are calling other people soft and in their feelings are also like

NOW ANY TEAM IN THE FUTURE AT ANY TIME CAN FAKE SOME LIFE THREATENING INJURY THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BULLSHIT

ROFL

We can do more if you'd like?

Some have expressed curiosity and confusion as to why the owners must be involved in the process. The answer is simple. The proposed solution — including the possibility of a neutral-site AFC Championship and a coin flip to determine the location of a potential wild-card game between the Ravens and Bengals (if the Ravens beat the Bengals on Sunday) violates the plain terms of the NFL’s Policy Manual for Member Clubs, Game Operations 2022 Edition.

Here’s the relevant language, from page A78, under the category of “Emergencies and Unfair Acts” and the specific rule entitled “Competitive Policy for Cancelled Games”: “If a game is cancelled, a team’s standing in its division or in its conference (e.g., qualification as a Wild Card in the playoffs or position in playoff seeding) shall be determined on the basis of its final record. When necessary, playoff tiebreakers shall be calculated according to per game average for all teams.”

There’s nothing about neutral sites or coin flips. Seeding is based on winning percentage, period.

That’s why the owners are involved. They’re changing the rules on the fly, during the 2022 NFL season.

hat’s their prerogative. But the NFL in the past has been loathe to change the rules during a given season. In this case, for all the discussion and haggling and brainstorming and whatever, the previously determined answer was hiding in plain sight. Fair or not, the NFL had developed a procedure that applies following the cancellation of games.

And, yes, this is a rare and unusual occurrence. But what cancellation of a regular-season game wouldn’t be the result of a rare and unusual occurrence?

Tomorrow, the owners will consider changing that policy. It will be fair for some of them to ask, “Why?”

Also, given that the proposed approach represents a deviation from current rules, the owners will be required to approve the revision via a 24-vote supermajority. The NFL has confirmed this.

So, in other words, only nine votes are needed to block it. Tomorrow could be interesting.

Fight them, Clark. Fight.

Death by definition is irreversible. He was in cardiac arrest. He was not dead.

But hey, you're on a roll. Go off.

Serious head/neck injuries are near death injuries… the next time that inevitably happens during a football game you are okay with a team being able to tap out without the consequence of a forfeit?
