Man if you’re going to pick nits with other folks at least make sure you’re not guilty of worse. Putting quotation marks around a minor paraphrase is minor league compared to your blooper there.
100% spot on.The NFL is doing everything but the easiest, and correct, thing because they’re afraid of 48-hour social media backlash.
It shows you’re well qualified. And won’t change their existing style.You're right. My mistake. But in my defense, I was hoping to use it to apply for a job covering football at a Boston newspaper.
It is to me as the Kansas City hater club President. This is me if that happens100% spot on.
They have to realize what they do right now will set precedence for something like this when it happens in the future. If the Bills get the 2nd seed it isn’t the end of world.
Redoing it on Wk 18 makes the most sense. Doesn't make sense to try to salvage points from a game that was cancelled. What's the issue with continuing it to this week?
I have Knox needing 22.1 points
I hear you but they have to make a logical decision.It is to me as the Kansas City hater club President. This is me if that happens
They should just postpone everything 1 week, while having Bills/Bengals play Saturday or Sunday on ESPN.
It's not fair for both Buffalo and Cincy to lose their chance at the 1 seed and have it go to the Chiefs because of some 1 in a million fluke occurrence.
I suppose eliminating the 1st round BYE altogether is an interesting solution, although there's still a question of who would have home field advantage for certain matchups like Bills/Chiefs, Bengals/Chiefs AFCCG. Going off their head to head seems fair. Or if Bills/Bengals, since they didn't play each other.. coin flip or winning % against common opponents?
Gotta agree with Mac here. While it’s not fair for the Bills, unfortunately for them it’s something that happened to them. It had nothing to do with Chiefs.The game should be cancelled or forfeited by Buffalo. Both teams chose not to finish the game on Monday or even wait a day to play on Tuesday. Why should the rest of the NFL have to suffer? Why is this the Chiefs problem? There is no good solution to this, the NFL just has to find the least controversial one. If they cancel, Buffalo still gets a 2 seed and the Bengals the 3 seed. If those teams are unhappy, they should flip a coin to see who gets the higher seed.
Right, but all it takes is one dude on Twitter to post, "Wait, so the Bills are being punished for not finishing a game where one of their teammates literally died on the field!?!" for the NFL to decide not to go that route.Gotta agree with Mac here.

The solution is pretty simple. Play the games they were scheduled to play. Pushing everything else 1 week back isn't something I'd imagine most teams or players would oppose. It's an extra BYE.The game should be cancelled or forfeited by Buffalo. Both teams chose not to finish the game on Monday or even wait a day to play on Tuesday.

Them not being able to get the 1 seed is tough luck.

Seems like there's a lot of talk about the Commissioner canceling the game so it seems like they're gonna do it anyway.From Fakebook
All of the league's governing documents and policy manuals state that a suspended game (other than preseason) must be played to its conclusion. The commissioner can terminate a game, but only if it is completely clear of competitive issues, which is obviously not the case here. This game will have to be played in full. The question is when will that happen.
What type of math or logic are you working with? 3 weeks in-between games? Not unless KC and Philly rest their starters which would be foolish since they need to win week 17 for the 1 seed.Except you are giving the winner of the NFC and AFC only 1 week to prepare for the SB, which they are not going to move. Oh, if the 1 seeds are KC and Philly, they going to get 3 weeks in between games…not an ideal situation at all.
The easiest thing would be to have the game go in as a Bills loss and move on. The second easiest thing would be to cancel the week before Super Bowl week. Introducing an 8th team and/or taking away the bye from the #1 seed is moronic.Waiting to see what happens this weekend is the easiest, smartest, and correct thing. And that has nothing to do with the idiots in the media who already think they are experts in every field.
