No "Win one for the Gipper" spirit in Buffalo?

I understand not playing the game last night. But not playing the following week would be some real bitch shit.

Could also see them moving the AFC title game to a neutral site. But the first round bye is the hard one

If the Chargers host the AFCCG, that won't be a problem.

Mike Reiss: “Wouldn’t be shocked” if Patriots-Bills isn’t played Sunday

On Zolak & Bertrand, Mike Reiss of ESPN explained that he wouldn’t be shocked if Patriots-Bills isn’t played on Sunday.

Reiss' Theory On How Things Could Play Out...
Marc Bertrand: So what about Sunday?

Mike Reiss: I think it’s in question. And to me and again, I have no information. But to me, it’s in question until until you get more information. We want the answer now, obviously, and I think the answer we want is that he’s going to come out of this and be okay. But if we don’t have any information along those lines, I think anything’s in play.

Marc Bertrand: You would not be shocked if the Patriots game was not played this week?

Mike Reiss: Would not be shocked.

Scott Zolak: Wow.

Mike Reiss: So if you’re the Bills and I think Vic Carucci, and Vic Carucci for those who don’t know is a veteran reporter in Buffalo. It was something along the lines of look the Bills already have a playoff spot locked up. The idea that they say we’ll just take a forfeit on the Bengals game, take a forfeit on the Patriots game and give ourselves the space. Because I think the other thing and I don’t know how much you guys talked about it, I listened a little bit on the way in, is the mental health aspect of this. When you’re a player and you watch this on the field and Beetle, I don’t know, you might be going against me on this…

Marc Bertrand: No, I’m just I’m going through that scenario.

Scott Zolak: This is how it affects us, though. You say that then the Patriots are in the playoffs.

Marc Bertrand: Yeah, if that’s how it plays out, the Patriots are automatically in and those teams that are on the cusp, you know, fighting for that final spot all automatically get eliminated, without there being a sort of a fair play out of the season?

Mike Reiss: I think it would be very disappointing for them. But I think if there’s one circumstance that they would have to understand a player almost dying on the field and I hope that he comes through, I would hope that they understand.

Marc Bertrand: I think those guys would be pissed.

Only part of this entire exchange that matters:

“Mike Reiss: I think it’s in question. And to me and again, I have no information.”

The dude is throwing stuff against the wall. Utterly meaningless.

That’s the talk on Buffalo radio right now. Bills forfeiting the Pats game. Merely speculation of course.

Fans are emotional, especially the guys that have the balls to call into a radio station.

My gut tells me Buffalo will officially play 16 games or they will play tomorrow. It's rough but there aren't many other options.

This is NOT how we want the 1 seed.

What do you want to happen, JDL?

I just got my tickets to Jack Murphy Stadium on Stubhub.

I can’t imagine any team is going to publicly voice their displeasure if they get screwed in this.

Oh of course not.

Chiefs/Ravens will say all the right things. Would expect nothing less.

Yeah, whatever happened to "he'd want us to play"?

Not sure if that qualifies as a neutral site with 70% opposing fans in attendance.

If Tarryon Johnson misses time from last night’s injury, Bills will be missing a lot of their best DBs.

why would you want to go to buffalo at any point?

Cincinnati, if KC were to lose to LV could have a shot at the #1 seed. Too many implications if they don’t play it. Buffalo already has the AFCE wrapped up. A tie with Cincinnati benefits them most of all, especially if KC loses.

I don't think there's much likelyhood of brain death. He got CPR almost immediately, and that keeps oxygen going to brain.

https://www.verywellhealth.com/brain...arrest-1298429

Timeline
When cardiac arrest occurs, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) must be started within two minutes. Effective CPR, if started immediately with a witnessed arrest can have positive outcomes.

If CPR is delayed more than three minutes, global cerebral ischemia—the lack of blood flow to the entire brain—can lead to brain injury that gets progressively worse.3

By nine minutes, severe and permanent brain damage is likely. After 10 minutes, the chances of survival are low.

Even if a person is resuscitated, eight out of every 10 will be in a coma and sustain some level of brain damage. Simply put, the longer the brain is deprived of oxygen, the worse the damage will be.4

Have to rip the bandaid off at some point if you're the NFL. Not doing it today is only going to ramp up the pressure and continue the very negative discourse the next few days while waiting for news on Hamlin that likely never comes.

They got bad advice here.

Hope this isn't the case but I think it's that if they announce a huge plan and schedule change and he dies they're going to have to start from step 1 again and that's just going to cause more drama. I bet they have some plans at this point depending on what happens. But you're right there's a chance this stays in limbo for a while too and then they're in a tough spot.
