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.

I see a **** job in the playoffs coming, if not tomorrow....Like someone said, why don't they just give the trophy to Buffalo to make everybody feel good....they have been crowning em all year anyway

Chiefs earn the bye week and HFA for the divisional game for being the 1st seed. I think that is a good deal.

Chiefs earn the bye week and HFA for the divisional game AND THE AFCCG for being the 1st seed

Under normal circumstances sure I agree 100% but these aren't normal circumstances.

I think the Owner of KC will accept the terms. He doesn't want the blowback of the media that will make KC out to be the evil villain. That is why the NFL have taken so long to make a decision too.

This doesn’t even happen if the Arrowhead Invitational hasn’t occurred the past 4 years.

Living in an age of appeasement. If the result is not what we like, we will just make it the way our sensibilities can handle the fragilie nature of life under the disguise of fairness.

In essense, cover it with a pretty blanket and it makes it all better.

I can only imagine the NFL's rigged weirdos are sharpening their pencil as we speak to fan the flames of fixed games and preferential treatment.

Chiefs will still technically be hosting it because they will be designated as the home team since they will have the 1st seed.

You can’t be this obtuse can you? That’s about as liberal the use of “technically” I’ve ever seen. While I’m not going to lose my shit over this proposal, I can certainly see the argument that you lose the true advantage of home field. I understand how people are upset over the arbitrary decision to change a rule during the season.

Nope, it is certainly not the best solution, it’s pandering.

Morning check in


Ah, still pre-crying about the NFL undoubtedly making a guy's near death experience on the field all about screwing over a team that they simultaneously had zero control over on the way to hosting 4 consecutive AFCCGs and a SB victory.

I have mad respect for Twisted, but this perspective is not as neutral as you may think. Again, I hope the owners vote this nonsense down.

Remember BUF and CIN beat KC during the regular season.

I don't know why so many Chiefs fans are so against playing the AFCCG at a neutral site under these circumstances. Dont you believe in your team? Don't you believe that they can beat BUF or CIN at a neutral site? If Mahomes really is "the best" then he can win anywhere at anytime against any team.

So you’re either a Cincy fan or Buffalo fan. I guess you’ll keep that anonymous too.

I don't support any team. I'm a neutral fan.

So you don't believe in your team? The NFL isn't asking you to play in Buffalo or Cincinnati, they are proposing a neutral side which is very fair in my opinion under these circumstances.
