Football Bills/ Bengals [cancelled - process in OP] - Page 78

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).

As I said in the other thread I understand stopping the game Monday night but after finding out that he was alive and stable they should of continued the game on Tuesday. The only other reasonable option as other have said is to use percentages and cancel the game completely. What I think will happen is they're playing week 18, then if the game is made meaningless by the results of week 18, they cancel. If it will still have an impact on standings then they'll finish it. I think the NFL is hoping the Chiefs lose so the Bills will keep the #1 seed without finishing the game.

There is only one option at this point: DNP

The Bengals would need to lose as well for this scenario to happen. Otherwise, if they beat the Ravens, the Bengals themselves are going to badly want to finish that game to get the bye.

There is very little chance the game doesn't have significant meaning for someone which makes the NFL's decision yesterday all the more bizarre.

It was mentioned on NFLN this morning by Rapaport that a real possibility is the Cincy/Bills game is ruled no contest and it goes to win %.

I don't see any other real options at this point IMO. They teams refused to finish the game, call it no contest and move on.

Only problems with that:
1/ If the Chiefs lose and the Bengals beat the Ravens, a Bengals win against the Bills would get them HFA
2/ If the Chiefs lose and the Bengals lose to the Ravens, a Bengals loss against the Bills would give the Ravens the AFC North title

This is the only option IMO.

Cincy agreed not to play. They can own the “DNP” too and move on.

The league is hoping the Ravens, Raiders and Bills win this week. That eliminates the need for the game to be continued and the schedule to be changed.

Blackops is going to send multiple loads into orbit.

If my parents, wife, or kids passed today I'd get three days bereavement. Then I'd have to use whatever pto I have left as unscheduled time off. Also, my bereavement is taken from my pto as well.

At this point the NFL needs to declare the game a forfeit and move on.

I'm confused. You get 3 days bereavement, right?

The Bills probably got home at something like, what, 2am maybe on Tuesday morning? They get the rest of Tuesday off.

But then they're supposed to jump back on a plane Wednesday morning to play a game Wednesday night.

They should all cope with it in their own ways in 1 day and then be ready to travel and play the game?

You get 3 days of bereavement.

Every team has been shaky at times this year. Do you even watch football bruh? But I’m sure you’ll feel the same when Cheffers or Blakeman is the ref for the game and the questionable calls start happening?

The game would still be important, because the Ravens would win the division if the Bills beat the Bengals.

Hamlin isnt dead

Bereavement is also for immediate family members not co workers.

Ravens badly want the game played in this scenario because they could still win the division with a Bengals loss to the Bills.

In making the decision they did (or really the lack of a decision), the NFL is potentially ****ing over a lot of teams.
