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).

That’s how all of us have to deal with life. Our company gives 3 days bereavement. And that’s for death of a family member, not the hospitalization of a co worker

Yes. I have a hard time thinking anything other than Hamlin would want the Bills to move on and try to get back to normal, or as much normal as could be expected under the circumstances.

Technically, the NFL can't "make" them do anything so all Goodell can really do is threaten them with the loss of picks and fines and right now that would go over extremely poorly.

That's why you don't ever get yourself in a scenario where you let the mob dictate what's going on because they don't have any actual control over what's happening, its all emotion.

Public sentiment won't be with the Bills if they decide they're going to sit down and refuse to play football again until they feel like it.

The NFL can set the schedule and Buffalo can decide to play or not.

Its not a technicality, their player got hurt and they refused to play. Take the L.

My gut tells me Buffalo will officially play 16 games or they will play tomorrow. It's rough but there aren't many other options.

This is NOT how we want the 1 seed.

What do you want to happen, JDL?

I think they should call the game a tie. KC gets the 1 seed, Bills 2 seed, Cinci 3 seed.

I know it’s not fair to Cinci but it’s really not fair to anyone. No one is at fault here.

No kidding.

When he wakes up he's going to facepalm.

I work with a Bills fan and he is already tired of it all and thinks they should forfeit and just move on like it was just another loss.

Yeah. It was unprecedented for the league to cancel one game for them. That is enough. They can't demand an entire industry shut down indefinitely because their friend/coworker is in the hospital.

Yeah, fair just isn't in the equation.

How about the Chiefs lose a baffling game like we tend to do every once in a while and clean all of this up?

No one would care if these teams had shitty records. Because it's Buffalo and Cincy it's a big deal...Buffalo pulled their players take your loss.

More over,

Bill's are ****ing their OWN players by not playing.

"Oh you have an incentive based on stats or snap count.... Ooof too bad"
