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

[EST_1986]

Canceling the game does not seem to be getting any traction within conversations by the media or fans.

I'm sure it has no traction with the teams either

Easy solution. Delay the playoffs by one week and cut out that useless bye week before the Super Bowl. They did it in 2001 when 9/11 happened.

That Bye week is for buildup and to get the Stadium ready. They not changing that.

they're going to have to announce something really quickly, its getting pretty late

I think the NFL is waiting for some positive update to come out so they can announce the game, but there's nothing coming out

Whats the talk on social media, people in favor of adding an extra week?

I seen the family press release and no mention of his health is really concerning, and youre probably right if they had a positive prognosis the game would already be announced

You got me. The only social media I ever check is TikTok. And I haven't checked it all day.

Not sure who Dave Ross is on Twitter or how reliable, but he tweeted that the NFL said the game will not be resumed this week

Just confirmed by Ian, no game game rescheduled this week

They really should just declare it a tie and move on.

 

[jwitten82]

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

 

[jwitten82]

They really should just declare it a tie and move on.

Honestly, if KC wins this Sunday, then yeah it should be declared a tie

In a weird way except for the Bills and Bengals it essentially gives teams a bye going into the final game of the season and the playoffs

In reality the Bills & Bengals will have already had a mini extra bye week because they only played a portion of the game on Monday night. I can't imagine that short amount of playing will have tired guys out much.

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.

I really don't see how it can be resolved except by declaring a tie. They can't in all fairness make them play the game then another in just a few days or move the entire playoff schedule back a week so one game can be played.

they can absolutely get the stadium ready in a week

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