If one team declares they will not play within the specified time frame, it is a forfeit. If both teams declare they will not play within the specified timeframe, it is a no contest.Seems the NFL did not specify a timeframe? If so, the NFL screwed the pooch big time on this one. The only solution in that scenario would be an owner & NFLPA conference to determine next steps. Good luck with that happening in a timely fashion. Consensus being reached will require taking into consideration dozens of factors, e.g. ticket sales, logistics, television rights, potential rescheduling of other games, adjusting rules... and then factor in PR and the emotional aspect. For all intents and purposes it would be like trying to come to a collective bargaining agreement in less than one week. Not impossible, but highly improbable. NFL unilaterally making a decision on this will likely result in several lawsuits from affected teams, media (contract rights, agreements, and obligations), and fans (class-action).

The league is a business that cares about public relations and image. It would not have been a good look to mandate that the Bills turn around and get back to Cincy the next day. The league wants to make a decision that makes the league look the best in the public image.

They really should do whatever it takes to get that game played. If that's pushing the entire season back a week so be it.

Bills flew home, making that impossible. Bills decided that was more important than playing the game. Perfectly understandable given the circumstances but that also means a forfeit of said game. |

We have multiple threads dedicated to Hamlin's health. Condolences everywhere. But how dare us to discuss the proper implications of their refusal to play the game at all. Shove a dildo up your ass you fake ass pussies.

We already knew the NFL was going to **** this up.
What apparently we didn't know was NFL players are ****ing giant pansies and the media and everyone who covers for them facilitates it. I just saw a quote from Zac Taylor saying (paraphrasing here) -"When you can see the expression on the faces on the field its different". Sorry if I find it hard to believe life long jocks who grew up in locker rooms and spent all their time in a violent sport suddenly just became too sensitive to handle some adversity to the point they cant even bring themselves to play or God forbid travel back to Cincy. Yea we understand its a shithole in general but lets not get stupid. |
