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.

Rog should sack up and tell them, these are the rules. How ****ing unfair would it be for both teams to have 2 weeks off before the playoffs? Either run your players out there on Sunday, or watch the playoffs from home.

Bengals also said they weren’t going to play either. Burrow said today he went to the Bills lockerroom before the NFL made a decision and told them that the Bengals did not want to finish the game.

I didn't get that impression at all. He said the day started awkward at the facility.

Jason mentions playing football is what helps him deal with diversity.

It'll be interesting to see what happens, because if teams are allowed to forfeit without penalty, you'll see it happening in Week 18 going forward when teams don't have anything to play for. The good teams will forfeit to get a bye week, and the bad teams will forfeit to save payroll.

You can't let the teams or players have input on this, because they don't necessarily have the best interest of the sport in mind. The league office exists to protect the sport.

I pointed this out early on, players on both those teams with incentive based deals should sue now….

Because god knows the Bengals are cheap AF. They probably just saved millions

I assume you meant adversity, otherwise that reads way differently

Yeah but I think that's why the league office has been too wishy washy about everything. They're in a tough spot. If they push this too far or in the wrong way, it's going to bring into question the entire sport of football. So far they've been able to avoid any discussion around that so they've probably done a good job but eventually they're going to have to make a tough decision.

At my job, there are 3-4 employees eaten by velociraptors every single week. Do we get any time off? Hell no. Pussies need to suck it up.

Or they're catching on to the NFLPA using the event Mlonday night to leverage against the owners.

The Bills forum is gold, check this out.

I saw somebody earlier on Twitter nominating McDermott and Taylor for co-coaches of the year. That would honestly be pretty cool. Both of these guys have done a great job with their respective franchises, and they were leaders on Monday night in a way that some other coaches wouldn't have been.



Edit: For the record, I'm talking specifically about Mike McDaniel and Andy Reid. I'm glad, and the league is almost certainly glad, that neither of those gentlemen was on the sideline for this game.
