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.

Now we’ve got the table breaking asshole fingerers on here trying to coach us up on life?

And that's understanding that it's a bit of an unprecedented situation that may call for some unprecedented measures. If it's not dramatically disadvantaging the Chiefs, who cares?

I was MUCH more upset when the Chiefs were given the Saturday game than I'd be about rescheduling the Bengals/Bills for the following weekend.

You guys are all just circle jerking each other getting more and more riled up. "I heard this from Bills radio!" "I read that on Bills message board!" Blah blah blah.

Again,

"Football doesn't matter right now"

Ok fine and completely understandable, but you don't get to have it both ways. The Bills are still in the playoffs. No harm, no foul, but when you start trying to do anything and everything to help the Bills in terms of football, then you're trying too hard.

Bills could easily go down this path and behind closed doors say to each other, “We can basically get three weeks off here and then play at home for the 1st playoff game”.

It was up in the air anyways if they’d win that game and knock KC out of the #1 seed…..they can just sit back and tell ole Roger that nah we just need more time to rest our bodies errr minds and need weeks off to prepare for the playoffs errr mental health.

You think that's what they're doing?

They're not even preparing for the game this weekend. If the Pats weren't a dumpster fire I'd say they get smoked.

The Bills might be done this year and I can't blame them.

The delusions on this board are insane.

I hope you're young enough where you never watched that guy in your avy play, because if you are you've got some serious maturing to do.

If you are different then why the **** are you even here?

But yea, from what I've seen from your fanbase online I've lost complete respect.

I enjoyed the match ups because your team is incredibly talented, I'm one of the few Bills fans who would take Mahomes over Allen, even though I'm grateful to have him given what the Bills have been.

But yea, complete and total lack of class

I think the Bills should offer to forfeit. But all you talking about players and people virtue signaling, I saw one of you say the Bills are trying to use it to their advantage?

You seem solid, but a far more sizeable segment of your fanbase than i feel comfortable with is total trash.

And this is coming from someone who has to deal with Boston sports fans on the regular. You guys have totally beat them in a race to the bottom.

It's so weird how a little bit of winning can totally change fans.

But yea, killed any interest in me ever going to arrowhead or that city.

And if you're not a dick, idk why you'd take offense. But you can see the comments. You guys have been awful, and quite honestly, it's not your team's place to have any involvement in this.

I imagine you guys will end up with home field again. But it's so overstated for you guys. Mahomes can play anywhere, and you guys have shown you can lose at home. Arrowhead is not a fortress lol.

Bills fans can be trash as well. I'm not a fan of their antics on Twitter, I hate the mafia crap. Could you imagine if they called themselves the crips because they wear blue? But somehow the mafia is OK when they were legit killing people and blowing up restaurants in the city in the 80s.

Anyways flame away if you like. Couldn't care less what most of you think given the lack of respect towards life. Like you don't miss any dead people? Never lost someone tragically early? It doesn't make me emotional but it takes me back to a place where I'm sure those guys are still shedding tears from time to time.

That shit will **** with you.

Go **** yourself pussy

You know my mother died of cancer in 1992 at St. John's hospital on July 7 in Joplin MO. Her mother volunteered at that same hospital every year until it was hit by the tornado in 2011 every Wednesday. Every Wednesday I would have lunch with her in that cafeteria.

Did I get over that being the place that my mother died? No. Did she? Doubtful.

Did we deal with it, learn to accept it and move on? yes.

This is life 101. Sometimes bad shit happens, especially to good people. It has become abundantly clear that there are a gazillion resources available to these individuals that most people can only dream of to get through these difficult times.

I know they were on TV crying, hell I choked up too. Nobody wants to see a 24 year old kid on the ground receiving CPR for 10 minutes while listening to psycho babble from a dude named Booger, but tell me, would this case even register on your give a shit meter if this was a kid working a chicken ****ing plucking plant at Tyson's who came across a hot wire while standing in water?

The people working alongside that individual would be lucky to get an unpaid break for a few hours and then most likely would do clean up and be right back at it.

How many young men have died since Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field? Do you know? And how many of them have you given a second thought to?

"People closest to Damar..." like you're on a first name basis with this guy now. Y'know what? I'd care more if my dog got hit by a car. Or if my kid broke her toe. I have only so much time and capacity for grief to allocate among the evils of the world and no, I'm not going to sit here and pretend like I've been up for 48 hours lighting candles for 'Damar' and his loved ones.

And the 'or else' you're putting in all caps here is that they simply take an L. And? Ain't anybody saying to fold the franchise or fire them into the sun. They elected not to play - the 'why' of it shouldn't matter when determining how a massive industry that impacts the tens of thousands of related companies/individuals should conduct itself here.

You make the call and move along. The Bills are ready to play or they aren't. And if they aren't, okay - stay home.

But time and tide waits for no man. Be it Damar Hamlin, Josh Allen, Tyler Bass or Sean McDermott. Nobody is 'demanding OR ELSE' anything. They're simply moving forward. The Bills can join them should they so choose.

Me either. Jumpjng on too many tables and getting hit in the head with flying dildoes can cause CTE.

Lol you didn't even read my post. I'm honestly surprised you can type.

The team has lost for 20 yrs. They win, great, they lose, whatever.

I got my own identity lol. You're pathetic.

I guess its not just the leadership on the Bills team that's weak, so are the fans.

So stunning and brave!

Every single one who sucks the penis that is using this situation to show everybody how morally superior they are is pathetic.

It's morally superior to say that they should be able to play a football game, just on a different date! Yes indeed!

You guys are so ****ing soft.

This isn't 9/11 where the whole league took a week off early in the season.

It's 1 game, there are a couple of really easy options that don't involve changing any games or dates. They need top pull off the band aid and move on.

The problem is the NFL started out this whole thing looking weak and unprepared and continue to give that indication. Shitty leadership yet again.

Let alone fans have bought tickets for games and travel, it's just a cluster **** they didn't play Tuesday night after he was stabilized.

Does any other profession in which someone could possibly die allow an entire force to refuse to do their job and then reward them for it? It’s understandable to not play that night or even Tuesday, but they need to play or take the L. They are going to milk this for all it’s worth at the cost of other teams and players. They should not be rewarded because “feelings”. You can still hope and pray for Hamlin’s recovery while not catering to the Bills at the expense of others.
