The NFL is worried about only one thing....as they should be....making sure that the teams are all trying to win this weekend (and every weekend).

And just maybe that ‘someone’ is the Raiders playing at home just 48 hours from now in a divisional rivalry game.

If the Chiefs lose and the Bills win, the Bills are the Number One seed. You can’t let the games play out?

On that I agree. However the only rules in place now would either be to finish the game or go by the standings as they are after this Sunday. I’m pretty confident that the league has decided to wait and see what happens before they intercede and I’m also sure they’ve already told all the teams just that.

Win percentage? How about uniform color? While I understand the principle….win percentage is not a tie breaker in the NFL.

Bingo!

In what scenario do the Bills, Chiefs and Bengals all not want to win this weekend?

In general that’s true, but in this particular case don’t all the teams still want to/need to win this weekend? Seems to me there’s no harm in deciding afterwards. Heck, the entire playoff picture is decided after this weekend…not just the Bills seeding.

You use this method every time you come to a traffic signal.

I have to love how the same media clowns who were crying about democracy being in peril now describe voting as chaos.

I obviously agree. Remember, I said the Bills should ‘request’ not ‘demand’. I also think this should all be tabled until after this weekend’s games when the picture will be much clearer.

There’s very very little about the government ‘working’ going on here. This is all about getting on with the next set of ‘investigations’ and ‘oversight’.

I could not agree more. Everything else is based on speculation. Play this week’s games and make a decision based on the results. The Bills and Bengals will be given the opportunity to decide what they want to do.

Young healthy Kids are forced to wear masks in school while our Congress (made up of mostly old out of shape people) sit packed into a chamber for hours on end trying to pick a Speaker. That should tell you everything you need to know about this ongoing theater!

I’ll say it again. Everyone was upset when the last Congress blindly passed a nearly TWO TRILLION spending bill of my tax dollars and now their upset if the new Congress takes a few days to deliberate on who’ll set the agenda for the coming year. Maybe it’s just me…but I hope they discuss this for months. It costs me nothing!

I tend to agree. So you do the big thing, and thank the league for their patience in this matter and take the loss. You then use it as a rallying cry (if your team is even able to) for the playoffs.

Then you have to request to play the game. Done.

I’m still in the camp of the Bills either requesting to play the game Week 19 or forfeiting it.

Buffalo is definitely not in the Midwest. I’ve lived in both places and I’m not anti either one.

Not happening.

We’ve been over this. There isn’t a mass upheaval to anyone. None of the playoff games have been scheduled. In fact, neither conference even has a locked in #1 seed yet.

This is not happening. There are 31 other teams with their own interests.

How does this incident have anything to do with some larger player safety discussion? What protocols were missed or overlooked?

You are aware that the payments on the debt get in the way of all the programs you want to fund....right?

I've been saying this all day long. I couldn't care less what other teams are doing. I want my Buffalo Bills to win the Super Bowl. No asterisk, and no special privileges. The easiest way that's going to happen is for the playoffs to go through Orchard Park. Maybe even more so now with the emotion of the home crowd behind them. And the only way it's going to go through Orchard Park is if they beat both the NE and Cincinnati. (KC is not losing to the Raiders.) Let's win this thing!
