What?

Logistics.

All the people buying tickets and trying to plan for playoff games not knowing where or when it is to be played?

Besides the game outcome IS needed in any scenario.

I want to like the idea, but the "if needed" part is redundant - it's absolutely guaranteed that some team(s) will need an outcome to this game to determine their seeding or season altogether. Other than the Bills-Bengals themselves, that is.

Fact.

100%

You don't really cancel anything, play tonight or tomorrow or Buffalo takes the L and you move on.

There is no "fair" at this point. That ship already sailed. It just is what it is and the 2 teams involved, mainly Buffalo will have to to take the hit if it comes down to it.

We have heard 1,000 times since last night its just a game, ok then well just take the L. Injuries affect the outcome of games all the time.

if only the mods could show some strength and ban your ass, you god damn bundle of logs

It's not logistics. They'll make that work easy enough (just like during covid), the stadiums will sell out all the same, viewers will tune in all the same (maybe even moreso).

It's PR and their genuine or feigned concern for "making" the 2 teams play after an "appropriate" amount of time.

I think the scenario of what someone mentioned about playing tomorrow then pushing games back Monday and adjusting those teams PO sched to the later game is what makes the most sense however,

I think that is not accounting for the Bills players and what they will think about that. They may have a mutiny about it. You also make two teams play on a short week after a freak injury. You take that situation out of it if you just don't play it and let everyone reset for Ssunday. If you just treat it like the bills lost a key player and lost the game because of it then it is easier.

If they can't play by Thursday night, and be willing to play by the following Monday then they should absolutely take an L

The more i think about it that is where I am at. Bills should treat it like a key player got hurt (Josh Allen) and they lost the game. Move on.

They were down when it happened. Sucks but everything else just makes it more complicated.

They shouldn’t adjust the playoffs. Play the makeup game tomorrow, week 18 on Monday. Give them the Sunday slots for the wildcard round.

We don’t need to get too carried away here.

I don't want to hear it either. Hype themselves like they are going to war then hide behind a curtain when some real shit hits the fan. Not like these men don't try to physically hurt each other every play anyway. Get over it an move on. He's alive and in a place receiving the attention he needs. Get you million dollar asses back out there and entertain us!

Mods please make this happen.
