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.

The closest I can come to comparing it to something is when I was at a gas station in New Orleans and someone randomly came up to me and asked if New Orleans was a bigger city than Maryland.

Do you realize that?

I don't think anybody, even the first person you quoted, thinks the rule change benefits the Bills going forward.

The point is the blatant favoritism, which has now become a pattern.

Bye week: HUGE
Not having to play Bills AND Bengals in the playoffs: HUGE
AFCCG at a neutral site: kinda sucks but nothing compared to those other two

People need to stop whining. The Bills could have easily come back and won that game. We could be looking at Cincy in the divisional round and at Buffalo in the AFCCG.

2/3 of one specific team that benefits the most if not adapted? No.

I wonder what their rationale is on changing their position on the vote?

Not to mention the Bengals were going to drop a 50 burger on the Bills Monday night...

I'd rather have all three myself. And we'll have it if Clark can build the 9-vote coalition (and obviously beat the Raiders).

No. At worst you have 3(chiefs, bengals, ravens)

He said the rule change was to accommodate the Bills.

It doesn’t do that for them more than it does for any other NFL team.

If Reid is cool with it I doubt Clark votes against it. We'll see what happens.

Not if the rules hurt the Bills, Joe.

Would you rather the Bills and Bengals actually play again for us to get a chance at all three, but also risk losing all three?

Because I think we come out a lot better on average w/o them playing again.
