Despite what is going on with Damar as we await what is happening with his recovery and with everything going well, I have decided to keep going with the games against future Bills opponent thread. I hope this is some positivity to bring to everyone as a request was made at the beginning of the year to post the dismantling of the Patriots in last year's playoff game to be the game this week. I realize people may not care about this thread this week but I will put it here anyway. If you wanna put anything in the comments about the game, feel free. Pray for Damar and Go Bills

Not just the 1 seed, the Bengals could have gotten the 2 and played that game in Cincinnati. Now they don't get that opportunity

The Bengals are getting the shaft out of this whole thing Yes, but the Bengals could have beat us and went ahead of us. Better record isn't as cut and dry in this scenario

Does anyone know if we are the 2 and the Bengals the 3, if we play each other in the Divisional round, is that neutral? Or is that just the championship game?

Nope. Bury those f*cking bastards

I can't do this anymore. Have a good night

Because more games have to be played. The playoffs and all that have to be played. Life goes on. Damar is alive and progressing. There's no need to even be talking about this right now

They can forfeit any game. They also know, they eventually have to get back to work. Not hard to comprehend

No they don't.

You know what I mean lol

So to be clear, if I'm hearing it right, the only time a championship game will be on a neutral field is its Bills vs Bengals or Bills vs Chiefs. If it's Bills vs Chargers, Jaguars, or whoever gets the 7 then the game would be played in Buffalo?

Yes, but it's still the fairest option involved. The Bills and Bengals have fought like hell this season, especially the Bills with more adversity than I can remember, to not have a chance at the goal they have been fighting for all season. If we play the Bengals game and lose, then it is what it is. But the Bengals deserve that chance to and canceling a game or a coin flip or whatever other options are just not worthy enough in this case If all 3 teams win and the NFL Contacts the Bills and Bengals and says, "are you comfortable playing this game?" And give them the option, I see nothing wrong with that. If both teams or even one says no, then proceed with whatever other way makes the most sense. But don't make that decision without seeing how things play out and giving the teams the options of what they wanna do

And if all 3 of these teams win, the game is too important to not consider playing. Obviously, don't force tye Bills and Bengals to play but give them the option at least

What exactly is wrong with it? They adjusted for covid and after 9/11. And in order to backwards engineer a rule, a rule has to be in place first. They have made no ruling on the game yet except that it is still suspended. Now if they ruled to cancel and went back on their rule then that's different. I see no issue with seeing how things play out. Nothing wrong with that whatsoever. People are sensitive as hell

And what do you mean backwards engineering a rule? No rule has been made yet?

Dude, this is ridiculous. Waiting until Sunday is the best outcome. Canceling the game beforehand is way to premature

The NFL's best option is to wait until Sunday and then decide. All 3 games KC vs Raiders, Patriots vs Bills and Ravens vs Bengals will all be done by 4:25 Sunday which gives the league plenty of time before the Sunday night game to make any last minute changes to the playoffs since the matchups will have to be done by the end of the SNF game. If the Chiefs, Bills and Bengals all win, then I think playing the Bills vs Bengals game becomes a must and will happen. There is too much on the line at that point to be a no contest or a coin flip. The other thing to look at is, both the Bills and Bengals beat the Chiefs this year so rewarding the Chiefs with the one seed without playing the game is insane

Sorry to come across the way I did. But no one is getting it. We know they have a right to forfeit any game remaining. They have that power, there is no denying that. But bottom line is, games have to be played. They know this and as hard as it is, they have to keep going. That's all my argument is about but people aren't getting it

The home field advantage would be major. If we are the 3 and play the 2 in the divisional, we have to go to them. If we are the 2, they have to come to us, that's big. Especially, if a team knocks the Chiefs off. We could get all 3 games at home. That's major

I didn't say we would. Read it again ...slowly

Play the starters and get the 2. It gives another team a shot to knock off the Chiefs in the divisional round and the best shot at possibly still being able to host the Championship game if someone takes the Chiefs out

Shhhh....don't say this. They hate this kinda talk here lol

I wasn't trying to decide for them. What I said is just fact. They eventually have to move forward. It's not about what I think. It's what needs to happen

I never said it was up to me to decide

No ***** they have the power. That's never been up for debate but deep down they know they have to play. That's the point I've been trying to say this whole time
