But now every fan, ref, and PR specialist in the NFL will want Buffalo to. I'll say this: I think the NFL will be very aware of what stankstorm might brew if anything even a tad sideways happens to the highly emotional Bills fanbase in the weeks to come.

The scenarios that twobillsdrive posters are putting forward are absolutely preposterous. Pure insanity. Play the damn game and move forward. It sucks but take the emotion out of it. We ALL want Hamlin to get better, but playing a game isn't going to change his condition. |

How would you guys feel if the Bills/Bengals game were decided by a coin flip (which as it happens is part of the tie-breaking procedure)? I'd personally have no issue with that. I felt it was a coin flip going in. I'd rather potentially lose the 1 seed with a coin flip than get it by a no-contest ruling, but I'm sure a lot of people here will think that's an idiotic take. |

This might sound cruel or awful but at the end of the day the show must go on. I get not playing last night out of respect for what happened, but sadly people die every day and not are old retirees. Their companies and businesses continue on as they should regardless of whether they died or were in the hospital in critical condition. You grieve, mourn, pray, and move on. Life can’t stop for one person and while the Bills players are struggling, they can only deal with it for so long. They need to push forward and play the game or deal with the consequences for not doing so (taking the L).
I think them playing tomorrow with their final game being next Tuesday is the best solution at this point. Forfeiting the game, giving both teams a loss or tie, or allowing them to only play 16 and seeding based off win % is just silly and not fair to anyone. Don’t know Hamlin, but I can’t imagine he would want any of those scenarios. |

My PREFERRED way of winning the 1 seed is for them the play the game and have the Bengals win. But if that's not an option, no contest is the only logical option to me. If this happened in week 1, everyone would be fine with that. It's only controversial because we know the specific impacts on the playoff race. But the reality is that a tie in week 1 would have the same impact as a tie in week 17, so it's hard to be comfortable with super convoluted solutions that are only in play because it's so late in the season. |

I'm legitimately surprised by this. |

I kinda hate being 'handed' the 1 seed in this fashion but I fully understand and think - if they're not going to play the game (which would absolutely 1000% be preferred) - your way of viewing it is spot on. |

I'm a bit surprised they haven't actually announced anything about moving forward at this point. I would assume that will come at some point before day's end. |

So I'm assuming its a forfeit, there is ZERO percent chance the NFL can reschedule all of these games or push playoffs back.
Its a logistical nightmare and a contractual one with TV providers as well. |
