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.

Josh Allen is a beta bitch. He let Mahomes, Brady and Rodgers trash talk and walk all over him in that golf tournament. Shows a lot about the Bills right there.

Imagine getting that worked up over a football game that didn't involve your team. And imagine thinking that the results of this football game have anything to do with your identity.

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.

Lol go **** yourself.

Lol I gotta stop.

I get it though. I've seen Bills fans do plenty of really dumb gross things, I get into disagreements all the time because I find a sizeable portion of our fanbase to be racist hicks.

Anyways take care man, you seem like a real one.

I said my piece, I'm not gonna lambast people more.

But maybe I'll come back when actual football is discussed.

I do enjoy the rivalry between the teams on the field, after you guys owning us for the first few meetings they've been some great shoot outs ever since.

I'm not like other Bills fans. 13 seconds rolled off my back like water in the shower. I'm 30, all I know is losing, so just even getting games and moments like that out of the Bills I'm grateful for.

And like I said, i don't get confused like any of this has to do with my life or identity.

The NFL should have been very clear on this from the outset, Goodell to no surprise ****ed up yet again and its created this mess.

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 to our GameDay thread and start on page 30 where Damar was injured and see the reaction.

Go look at our thread pulling for Damar's recovery with no mentions of football implications.

"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.

I have spent little to no time thinking about Damar Hamlin. I can admit to that. I don't know the guy and he doesn't mean much more to me than a lot of other people that you see who suffer major trauma. My uncle died yesterday. Wasn't close with him and didn't give him much thought either.

None of this is virtue signaling. It's merely saying that I have some respect for the people who are close with him and I don't see anything wrong with not forcing a very tight turnaround to play a football game. If it's able to be rescheduled, I'm in favor of that.

And yes, if my dog died, I would definitely care A LOT.

You guys are so ****ing soft.

You're a nice guy, but a huge ****ing pussy.

"Guys I don't feel right about getting the 1 seed this way"



And no, it's morally superior to pretend that people are being heartless because they're holding the Bills to "football doesn't matter right now" instead of letting them have it both ways.

You keep avoiding this blatant hypocrisy.

let's discuss both options, resumed or canceled

if is canceled:

standings are calculated on win % (as usual)

current AFC Standings and win %:

0.812 - KC (13-3)
0.800 - BUF (12-3)
0.733 - CIN (11-4)

— Warren Sharp (@SharpFootball) January 4, 2023

This would now mean that a tie between KC and Vegas would knock KC out of the #1 seed if Bills beat the Pats. If Bills would have lost vs Bengals a tie would not have mattered. So KC is giving up something by the Bills/Bengals game not counting haha

Kind of odd really for a fan base that calls itself the Mafia.

Virtue signaling, straw man argument . . . Take your pick.

[ChiefsCountry]

It's weird that our two true hated bitter rivals, Broncos and Raiders, we actually get a long great with their fans. I would say the Chargers as well but they have no fans.

Mad that people are on to discussing football along with the injury, and is virtue signaling that people have moved on. Also doesn’t want to come back until we are talking Football. Also Football has nothing to do with his life, yet here he is.

You keep saying "football doesn't matter right now."

Have I ever said that? Have I ever implied it?

I just think it's a massive ask to get an entire organization to process what just happened and have a relatively quick turnaround to hop on a plane and play a football game.

So give them some more time and let them play the game. And if they're unwilling to do it, give them the forfeit. Please. I would happily take that.
