Bills/ Bengals [cancelled - process in OP]

[cmh6476]

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).

Breaking News: Of course the game is secondary to #DamarHamlin’s health, but #Bills insider @viccarucci just reported on @wgrz Daybreak that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will make the call on rescheduling the Bills/Bengals game and it would have to be played within 2 days.

There is another option according to @viccarucci - the league can add a 19th week so the Bills/Bengals can get in all their games. @wgrz https://t.co/1X1hCHVN8c

I assume we'll hear something soon

After speaking with both teams and NFLPA leadership, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell informed the clubs today that the Bills-Bengals game will not be resumed this week.

The NFL has made no decision regarding the possible resumption of the game at a later date.

Can't say that I disagree with the assessment. Can't say that it has been announced but it certainly has been implied.

That's preposterous Knowmo.

Yeah…this situation really is ridiculous. The guy’s likely going to pull through. They should be faced with the choice to either finish the game tomorrow or forfeit.

Why is there even a question of them being ready to play the Faketriots on Sunday?

Why couldn’t they resume the Bengals game this week on Thursday? Their’s and Cincy’s respective games on Sunday could have been moved to Monday or Tuesday next week to accommodate it.

They don’t want to play.

That would surprise me, but if so, with the Bills luck, the random generator would fall on the Chiefs/Bills game...

I like Albright and he’s pretty plugged in, but that is dumbest ****ing thing I’ve ever heard.

By ****ing whom? You're battling random guys throwing around random shit on a message board and Twitter?

Do Red Dawg and okchiefs on CP speak for the Chiefs organization?

I realize that the initial narrative/reaction was that Bills fans needed to be respected and coddled, but the overcorrection to vilify them is ridiculous.

This is literally the stupidest solution the NFL could come up with.

That’s gotta be a joke.

Will Denver Broncos QB, Aaron Rodgers be operating the “random number generator”?

It caught me off guard as well.

He talks about it around the 1:25 mark:

sounds like the NFL is turning the seeding race into a game of bingo

They don’t want to play.

When did the Bills announce or even imply that they might not play against the Patriots on Sunday?

And what adult finds it difficult to type 'Patriots' but needs to continue to type 'Faketriots' each and every time?
