FEATURED AFC Bills-vs-Bengals Game Reschedule Speculation (no conspiracies)

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Don’t see how they can fit it in, they’ll each likely end with 16.25 games played. The stats gained up to the delay are official, so I wonder if they assess both teams a tie or just ignore it

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

I think it's safe to assume now that they're gonna add another week

for 1 game?

It's already been done once before though so we know it's possible. I get moving the superbowl is a huge task that may be unrealistic, but they can get everything ready in a week. It's in Arizona so it's not like theyll be hosting playoff games the Sunday before or anything. Only difference is with the media week and everything.

Sadly they won’t move it for a near fatal football injury.

I don't like that idea either, but I'm assuming they would

 

[guag]

True but it has been extremely mentally exhausting, which has it's own effect.

That's a good point.

And they shouldn't. Cancelling the game and declaring it a tie is good enough. Don't mean to sound cold but people die sad, tragic deaths every day but the world doesn't stop. Hamlin is still alive and hopefully will recover, we just have to all move forward with the positive thought that he's going to get better.

I think Cincinnati and Buffalo will play two games by Monday night.

It’s already been confirmed that last night’s game will not resume this week.

Good. Absolutely no way you can have this game played this week and then asking them to play on Sunday. I don't care about the Covid year examples, this isn't that at all.

If KC wins, then the game needs to be declared a tie, that simple

Either a tie or no contest.

 

[guag]

So are the Bills just forfeiting the rest of the season?

Of course they weren't.

Anyone who thought the Bills and Bengals were going to resume that game anytime soon were delusional.

Not sure where you are getting that from.

I am guessing a reponse to the tweet about Patriots wouldnt be surpried not to play Bills this wekend

Yeah that's the next step. Figure out the result of the game. I'm sure both teams will accept a tie. But is it fair to all the other teams in the league who might have been relying on one of the teams to lose to get seeding. All of this comes into play. I know its' not the thing to do discuss out in public but it for sure is behind closed doors. I believe Baltimore was hoping for a Cincy loss to have a shot at the division next week. Or maybe they can still win it next week even with a Cincy loss? I have no idea as I don't keep up with the AFC to that degree.

Let's say it is a tie, how does this affect the AFC playoff picture?

 

[baltcowboy]

It’s already been confirmed that last night’s game will not resume this week.

Shocking.

True.

Not shocked.
