Football Bills/ Bengals [cancelled - process in OP] - Page 29

In case anyone needs it spelled out, we would play at a neutral site if the AFCCG ends up being Chiefs vs. Bills. All other scenarios abide by the usual rules (so any other game the Chiefs play will be at home).

Yeah, I think it's dumber for them to commit to not playing the game this week with no other details on a plan, than simply saying they're still working it all out.

I don't think it's necessarily a terrible thing to have no clue right now if the game will be played tomorrow or whatever, but like you said, most likely there's no situation where Hamlin is immediately fine or that players just flip a switch and want to go back to focusing on football.

Moving back a week could give the Chiefs two weeks off if they ended up with the one seed, but outside of that and the lack of a week off for Bills and Bengals (and possibly not having an extra week ahead of the Super Bowl — unless they moved that too which I doubt they would) that would be the extent of it.

Bills and Bengals should have the opportunity to play the game if they want.

I think the opportunity to play would have been today or tomorrow. When the Bill's left town that ship sailed. Playing it after week 18 would be a joke.

JFC this is bullshit.

The NFL cannot disrupt the entire season as Buffalo continues to deal with their mental state over one player.

Either they play or they forfeit.

If the Bengals beat the Ravens, they win the division and have a chance at the 2 seed by winning at home against Buffalo, which also guarantees they wouldn’t have to travel to Buffalo in the divisional round.

ESPN reporter at Bills facility who spoke with team rep said team is not surprised game called off this week and team would be surprised if it gets played at all.

Way too much thought being put into this over one guy, who is still alive btw.

Treating the cardiac event like it has never happened before is pure sensationalism from the media. Which is partly driving the NFL's lack of a decision to get back to business even more troubling to an already troubling event.

There's talk thar the Bills could forfeit which would really **** the league as they'd just hand the last WC to NE screwing over several teams.

Correct, but if the Ravens win, it puts significant pressure on the Bills/Bengals game to be played because it will decide a division winner/home playoff game for Baltimore. The Ravens would be livid if it didn't.

Hammock Parties · 01-03-2023, 01:11 PM

if you're the bengals, you're definitely playing for the two seed in a potential week 19 replay

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

I don’t agree with this. Cincy would still have a shot at the 2 seed if they beat Buffalo. Do you think they’re just going to roll over and say, “We don’t care. We’d rather go to KC than host Buffalo at home in the divisional round” if all the favorites win out?

Assuming it doesn't get played at all. Which is not exactly what's been said yet.

If the Bills beat the Bengals fair and square, then sure. Chiefs don't deserve the #1 seed in that situation, but the Bengals would lose, thus keeping the Chiefs in the driver seat for #2 even with a loss to the Raiders.

This.

The Bengals would much rather go to KC than BUF for a potential AFCCG.

This isn't even a question.

They’re going to see if KC loses (doubtful). If so, they make the game a tie.

I wouldn't put it past this team.

It's happened before.

So is he dead and we just don't know it or what? If he's at least in stable condition this is nonsensical.

Can you imagine the atmosphere in Buffalo for a playoff game against the Bengals after this?
