The Bills should have been told to make up the game that week or forfeit. |

After the suspension of the game which both teams agreed too and the NFL was fine with, the earliest it could have realistically been made up while giving fans an opportunity to go to the game again is on a Tuesday and it would have been a PR nightmare for the NFL to play the game so soon after so much national concern for the Bills player. Another option was delaying most of the playoffs by a week and then just having 1 game before the Super Bowl but for a whole bunch of reasons I doubt the NFL wanted to do that. Fans/players are used to players leaving the game in ambulances but the Bills/Cincy game was different since it is truly rare for CPR to be needed to revive a player. |

He wasn't dead on the field. He wasn't dead when he left the field in an ambulance. He wasn't dead when they held up the ambulance to get his mother to ride with him. He wasn't dead the rest of the week when he was instagramming from the hospital and such. There have been all sorts of scary injuries and spinal injuries that everyone know do not look good, yet games have always continued. Refusing to play, not only that night or but any other night, should be called a forfeit. |

[/QUOTE] The rules were in place, the Bills didn't need to fly home that very night, the Bengals never agreed to skip the game entirely. It could have been played easily Tuesday, Wednesday. If they (Bills) didn't want to play the game, fine, forfeit. NFL dropped the ball. |

Funny how many times people guess a certain situation would be a "PR nightmare" for the league when they CLEARLY give no shits about how bad their refs are or continuing play after a player is paralyzed on the field, or the evidence that they wanted to start play again in that game... or the cluster**** of a solution they came up with and everyone complained anyway.
They aren't people pleasers... they're idiots.

Ultimately it doesn't matter. The Chiefs and Bengals are going to win this weekend.

Hi. I'm a Bengals fan but I like the Chiefs too because I went to high school three out of four years in Overland Park. Yes, the possibility of the Chiefs playing the Bills in Atlanta is a terrible situation. The Bengal's defense should have a couple or a few takeaways to help the offense, which is affected by some line players getting injured. So yes, I'm rooting first and foremost for a replay of last year instead of the AFC championship being played in an NFC city that doesn't care.

NFL will want the Hamlin debacle behind them. The dangerous injury possibility to other players. The handling of it stinks to lots of people. Dildos and snowballs at any AFCCGs. Bye bye

It's hilarious how he plays this "aw shucks" bullshit like anyone is buying it, yet will still completely slip into Full DiqLix at any given time.

Are we thinking Atlanta due to the ankle, or that our running game is better in the cold?
