Buffalo Ballin

Love the win. 13 wins for any NFL team in any season is a big mark to hit. 13 wins means that our team is one of the elites for that particular season. And here we are. Yes, we got the 2nd seed. Oh well. We're damn good. - Gabe Davis isn't a number 2 receiver. I thought he was. But he proved this year that he's not. Maybe he's just an All Pro during the Playoffs. Robert Horry, of NBA fame, is like this. In the regular season, Robert Horry sucks. He coasts. But in the playoffs, he turns it up. Maybe that's what Gabe Davis is. - Our secondary will get lit up in the playoffs. Best we can do is get picks and deflections. - We KNOW how to beat Miami. They already threw their best punch a few weeks ago and we won. We gonna be alright. - We're destined to meet Cincinnati in the playoffs. Maaan that's gonna be an explosive mega battle. I'm happy that this match up takes place in Buffalo (if it happens).

The posters here who don't like this match up most likely are the same people who said "forfeit forfeit forfeit" when Damar Hamlin got knocked out. What's with the negative attitude before the match up?

Forfeiting is off the table. That's no longer an option. Stop bringing that up. Accepting a 3rd seed? We gotta see who wins and loses before that happens.

The Bengals beating us? It's possible. But it's also possible that we beat the Bengals. There are 2 sides to a coin. We should look at the cancelled game like this: The Bills got a peak at the Bengals' game plan offensively and defensively. Just a tiny glimpse. Maybe that's good enough for us to examine before we face them again. For sure, we can't play JaMarr Chase vs. Tre White straight up ever again. That's totally different next time.

Not forfeiting anything. That option is gone.

No one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills. "Did we win?" I love Damar Hamlin. Kid is a fighter. A competitor. Doesn't sound like he wants to "forfeit" anything. Sorry, forfeit boys. That option is off the table.

We already brought up the coin flip deep in this thread. One poster said that this is a multi billion dollar sport so a coin flip isn't suitable to determine this. (My thought: The money is irrelevant since this about using time wisely because we don't have a lot of time). Another poster didn't want us doing the coin flip because we have bad luck there. We can use ping pong balls, like the NBA Draft, in some way. I'm all for the coin flip. Best out of 3. It's fair and neutral. It really doesn't upset anything.

This is exactly what I noticed, too. No flags were thrown. It was so obvious on the replay. Disgusting acts by Bengals players. That's why we shouldn't forfeit this game. Just friggin' pathetic from those guys.

? Vegas had the Bills as the favorites to win last night unless the line shifted at the last minute and I didn't catch it. The game ended mid first quarter. Score was 7-3, Cincinnati. Can't call the game. Too small sample size. If it was 3rd quarter, maybe.

I humbly disagree. Forfeiting does throw the NFL universe out of alignment: we're not the number one seed anymore. Every little detail matters. So we're not just disrespecting Damar Hamlin, but also Josh Allen, Von Miller, Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis, Dion Dawkins, Poyer, Milano, Knox, the rest of the team, the coaching staff and trainers, Buffalo Bills fans, and the city of Buffalo. Can't forfeit a game when the actual game ended in mid first quarter. Here are the options I'm getting from this thread: 1) Continue the game somewhere (which seems impossible). 2) Give us and Cincinnati a W. 3) Coin flip Take your pick.

Again, that's why they play games. Real results matter.

Taking another L is an ultimate show of respect for Damar Hamlin? That's just flat out wrong. Then write logical. Again, how is forcing us to take another L, to forfeit, is a sign of utmost respect for Damar Hamlin?

You're a Pats Fan. You're in here talking about seeding and talking about us forfeiting through the view of a Pats Fan.

For the people saying "forfeit forfeit" that's also disrespectful to Damar Hamlin and the sacrifices he made to be on the team and he helped the Bills become number one seed this year. Just flat out disrespectful and abysmal.

How is NOT fair to KC? They lost to us and Cincinnati in head to head this year. That means a helluva lot more than overall winning percentage. And our 12-3 record is pretty darn good, too.

They should. They're not getting punished, but they're not getting rewarded either. It's a neutral move. No harm done.

And that's why we watch the games. That's why they play. Let the process reveal who has the highest score.

Bingo. This.

I can't take a Pats Fan seriously on a Buffalo Bills forum. What you're saying has a negative bias so yeah. I think we're NOT taking an L. We're not forfeiting. For what? We possibly lost Damar Hamlin among the other L's we took all year. We put in the work. We won 12 games. We lost 3. We're currently number one seed in AFC with all the battles we fought in. Why do we have to forfeit? No one is supposed to get killed, or get brain damaged, in this game. And we're forced to take another L?

Slow down. Our players and the organization do not agree with you. Dude, that's just disrespectful and dismissive of the work and energy they put in. That's why they actually perform on the field.

I think this is the solution if no one wants to do a coin flip. The reality and logistics of trying to make up the Buffalo vs. Cincinnati is a nightmare. It's best to avoid it and move on.

Yes. I agree. We should stay number one. Other teams should be fighting for number 2.

How are we doomed again? It's just a game. Not trying to change the subject, but I have to mention this: Why did Roger Goodell extend the NFL season to 17 games? He had fears years ago that someone was going to get killed. Yet he extended it anyway.

We already took tons of losses. There has to be a way to get a winner from this game. I'm sure our Coaches will be talking about this when the time is right.
