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.

So stunning and brave!

Every single one who sucks the penis that is using this situation to show everybody how morally superior they are is pathetic.

Bro you are remedial.

Can someone actually point an example of virtue signaling here?

But yea, from what I've seen from your fanbase online I've lost complete respect.

I enjoyed the match ups because your team is incredibly talented, I'm one of the few Bills fans who would take Mahomes over Allen, even though I'm grateful to have him given what the Bills have been.

But yea, complete and total lack of class

I think the Bills should offer to forfeit. But all you talking about players and people virtue signaling, I saw one of you say the Bills are trying to use it to their advantage?

You seem solid, but a far more sizeable segment of your fanbase than i feel comfortable with is total trash.

And this is coming from someone who has to deal with Boston sports fans on the regular. You guys have totally beat them in a race to the bottom.

It's so weird how a little bit of winning can totally change fans.

But yea, killed any interest in me ever going to arrowhead or that city.

And if you're not a dick, idk why you'd take offense. But you can see the comments. You guys have been awful, and quite honestly, it's not your team's place to have any involvement in this.

I imagine you guys will end up with home field again. But it's so overstated for you guys. Mahomes can play anywhere, and you guys have shown you can lose at home. Arrowhead is not a fortress lol.

Bills fans can be trash as well. I'm not a fan of their antics on Twitter, I hate the mafia crap. Could you imagine if they called themselves the crips because they wear blue? But somehow the mafia is OK when they were legit killing people and blowing up restaurants in the city in the 80s.

Anyways flame away if you like. Couldn't care less what most of you think given the lack of respect towards life. Like you don't miss any dead people? Never lost someone tragically early? It doesn't make me emotional but it takes me back to a place where I'm sure those guys are still shedding tears from time to time.

That shit will **** with you.

Nobody is dead moron but I wouldn't expect a Bills fan to be smart enough to get that.

It's not like the coach just makes that decision unilaterally. You need to talk it through with the players, coaches, etc. I'm sure some of the players spent the day talking through the events with counselors provided by the team. And all of that without having a sense of the guy's medical status.

If you told me they were offered to play the game on, say, Saturday or Sunday, I'd be in agreement with all of you. But being upset by the fact that the game isn't being played today? That's what I find ridiculous.

Yeah, these situations always show just how little some people think about the details below 30k feet while simultaneously being the loudest about how right they are on what should happen.

If you choose to dwell on the negative that speaks more to who you are, not our fanbase.

There's a whole thread on our main board offering prayers for Damar.

I suspect nothing short of every KC fan offering to give away the 1 seed would be acceptable to you.

Not the same situation.

Probably because you're projecting.

No, because it's amazing how quickly the situation devolves into blaming the Bills for everything and anything. It's just such clear backlash to the virtue signaling that clearly was out there. There's a middle ground between this vitriol that you all seem to be spewing and the virtue signalers. And that's understanding that it's a bit of an unprecedented situation that may call for some unprecedented measures. If it's not dramatically disadvantaging the Chiefs, who cares?

I was MUCH more upset when the Chiefs were given the Saturday game than I'd be about rescheduling the Bengals/Bills for the following weekend.

You guys are all just circle jerking each other getting more and more riled up. "I heard this from Bills radio!" "I read that on Bills message board!" Blah blah blah.

[Hammock Parties]

most people assume the game CIN-BUF will not be resumed at a later date

let's discuss both options, resumed or canceled

if is canceled:

standings are calculated on win % (as usual)

current AFC Standings and win %:

0.812 - KC (13-3)
0.800 - BUF (12-3)
0.733 - CIN (11-4)

Then you have the two AFC teams playing the week before the SB while the NFC team has a bye week.

Superbowl ends up with the AFC on 1 week rest and the NFC with two weeks rest.

That would be some BULLSHIT!

2 posts?

Definitely here to troll.

There's been nothing but virtue signaling over this situation.

[Balto]

I mean what other team could just tell the NFL that they are going to not make up week 17 and also not going to play week 18 at all and are ok with the #2 or #3 seed….

Bills could easily go down this path and behind closed doors say to each other, “We can basically get three weeks off here and then play at home for the 1st playoff game”.

It was up in the air anyways if they’d win that game and knock KC out of the #1 seed…..they can just sit back and tell ole Roger that nah we just need more time to rest our bodies errr minds and need weeks off to prepare for the playoffs errr mental health.

[RunKC]

Here’s an idea: cancel the Ravens/Bengals game and Bills/Patriots games and play the Bengals game again this weekend.

Ravens and Patriots can’t win their division and this game would determine playoff seeding

Giving them 24 hours to reset and telling them the game is on Wednesday or they can take the L is perfectly reasonable.

People keep acting like Hamlin died, he didn't.

You sound pretty triggered in that other post I quoted lol.

Imagine getting that worked up over a football game that didn't involve your team. And imagine thinking that the results of this football game have anything to do with your identity.

I hope you're young enough where you never watched that guy in your avy play, because if you are you've got some serious maturing to do.

If we were this soft, I guess we could single out the Bills fans chanting "**** the Chiefs" at a game in Cincinnati as proof that they're a toxic fanbase.
