Football Bills/ Bengals [cancelled - process in OP] - Page 6

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).

It's PR and their genuine or feigned concern for "making" the 2 teams play after an "appropriate" amount of time.

Yea true but you are talking about not knowing if a game is even going to be played or when the playoffs will start and what seeding is what. Idk i think there is a lot more that goes into it than just the fans getting tickets but yae covid is a good point they had contingency plans.

But this game just isn’t fair sometimes. Seasons get wrecked in week 1 when franchise QBs go down with season ending injuries. Careers get ruined due to freak accidents. It’s not ****ing fair, but every team faces the same or similar risk every week.

It's actually not nearly as bad of a situation as people are making it out to be. Yes it sucks for the Ravens maybe, but for the two teams involved there are upsides even if no one wants to talk about it. The fact is, is that they both essentially got a bye week this week, playing one quarter of football. And if it's called a tie and the chiefs win then both teams get to rest their starters next week as well. Give guys time off if they need a mental health break. So you got two weeks to rest up your team and refocus and yes while you'd love the bye in the playoffs and homefield, 2 weeks off is still 2 weeks off. By the time the second round starts both teams will have played less than the chiefs in the past month. You can't say that's nothing.

If they did, it would most likely be this game that is the only one played week 19.

The only thing we know for sure is the NFL front office will surely figure out how to **** this up.

yep, and honestly like I said before If it was the Chiefs I would rather take the loss and not play 2 games in 4 days after a shock factor injury like that. It is just a freak deal, i would rather not make it worse.

They could do away with the extra week for the Super Bowl. Cancel the dumb pro bowl. No one watches that crap.

Moving 16 regular season games and all the playoff games makes zero sense over a game between 2 teams being stopped.

Play in the next day or so or take the L.

There is no scenario in which the Bills should benefit from this. It was pretty clear it was the Bills players and coach McDermott who locked arms and said we arent going back on the field tonight. That of course was the correct decision. I would hope coach Reid would have done the exact same thing. Life isn't fair and in life at times you have to deal with the consequences of tragedies occurring. The Bills need to forfeit the game as a 7-3 final and the season must go on.

Yeah, this is correct.

The situation sucks, but I don’t see another way. If they can’t play today or tomorrow, then it needs to just be a loss for the Bills.

The right call is whatever is best for the teams involved.

The right call has nothing to do with inconveniences or money lost by the fans.

Yes which would screw the Fins. But I saw something today that said Tua probably isn't going to play so they will probably lose anyway
