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.

As far as I’m concerned the Bills and Bengals should be doing everything they can to get both of their final games in before the playoffs. If not they don’t get to just have a chance at a “win.”

We're getting Cheffers for the Raiders game and first playoff game, aren't we?

[Lprechaun]

The game will be played IF the Bill's beat the Pat's and the Bengals win their game. If neither wins its only a 2/3 seeding issue as we would have the 1 seed wrapped up

[Rain Man]

I heard that the NFL will settle this via a dogfight of whatever did the flyover at each stadium during the last home game.

Bills and Chiefs common opponents are Bengals, Titans and Rams.

If games are deducted from Chiefs and Bills records, why not all common opponents since Bills did not have to risk losing to Bengals?

[Stinger]

So if this absurd thing actually happens and it picks a Chiefs home game can lobby for a refund on my tickets since it technically did not happen?

That's what really pisses me off.

That solution is so absolutely unfair and convoluted that it’s not even close to realistic. How could you possibly justify that versus just simply flipping a single coin to decide the game last night and going from there?

This would be an unprecedented situation and there’s no reason to go for a solution that would have the least clarity and definable justification.

I’ll give 5:1 odds if anyone wants to bet on that outcome.

Just simulate the game on Madden.

That will satisfy everyone, even the fantasy football guys.

You have an extra week between conference title games and Super Bowl. Move the playoffs back a week and finish the Buffalo/Cincy game before playoffs.

Glad we called off the "Fire Toub, hire Colquitt to hold kicks" banner.

Complete and utter bullshit.

So let’s just take the top 7 in each division. Throw some balls in a hopper and chose the seeding.

Maybe the most anti-competitive proposal I’ve ever heard. We don’t even do that in our little leagues.

cdcox and I will be glad to simulate the game on Sandbox Simulations.

We'll just need a couple of days for cdcox to make some "updates" to the code.

Bengals will win the division even if they lose to the Ravens based off win %. Ravens 11-6 and Bengals 11-5. Even though Ravens beat them twice.

I would be steamed beyond belief. That would be straight up rigged. IDGAF what anybody says. Don't punish us because of what happened. Look, not being callous but they better not **** us with some bullshit!
