Football Bills/ Bengals [cancelled - process in OP] - Page 164

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).

Wait, so the team that has played more games and has more wins get ****ed?

Goodell makes about $40MM a year and he is absolutely scared shitless to make tough decisions unless a vacuum cleaner is involved.

When I hear "The NFL is considering"

I just figure that what comes next is an option being proposed by the Bills.

It’s so ****ing stupid. Players are so coddled now. The Chiefs played the next day Belcher murder suicided. Most people work the next day if a coworkers has a medical emergency.

The Bills were losing and likely going to lose. They chose not to finish the game. They chose to get on the plane and go home instead of resuming the next day. They should be forced to forfeit. Period.

I mean he works for the owners so they're undoubtedly involved in this decision.

They have a long list of rules and Tie-breaking procedures that are listed on the NFL.com website. They even have a rules committee that meets every year to discuss these rules and implement any changes they deem necessary for the upcoming season. The speculation that they are just going to randomly make stuff up as they go along is just nonsense(we all hope).

It really does seem strange that they don't have a 'hey, what if someone dies' protocol.

I kinda wonder if they do but at 'first contact' they chickened out and stuffed it in a drawer so now they're just trying to make shit up as they go in the hopes they don't piss anyone off.

"Hey Rodger - what are we supposed to do in a situation like this?"

"Hmmm....internal memoranda say we call it a no contest if the affected team isn't willing to resume play. Aw shit, that'll cost them the 1-seed? Boy we'll take hell for that. JANICE!!! Get our PR rep on line 2, we're gonna have to figure some stuff out..."

I just cannot fathom that they didn't have ANY plan for this kind of eventuality. It feels to me like they're just too cowardly to implement it.

So, you think it's fair that they decided not to resume the game on Tuesday or Wednesday after Damar was stabilized, and put many other teams in limbo? They should have played, they should have offered to play and they didn't? You can go ahead and believe that your sense of fairness is virtuous, but it's obvious to most on this issue that you are being a Bills apologist (notice I was fair and said apologist instead of ball licker)...

Yup.

Just staggeringly poor leadership.

But be careful - Twisted will climb all up in your ass if you can't present these conversations on tape while Goodell is holding up his driver's license and SSN card to prove his identity...

Gravedigger · 01-05-2023, 11:14 AM

If you truly believe the NFL is rigged then the Bills are winning the Super Bowl this year hands down.
