Irv Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 What do you think the NFL would do if a team had a plane crash week one of the pre-season and there were no survivors? 1 1
WhoTom Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 If it's NE, they'd just award them the Lombardi in advance, since ... you know ... they would have won it anyway. Any other team would probably forfeit their games and rebuild the following year, the same way they do with an expansion team. 1 2

Expand Right around the time of our SB years it got brought up and the NFL had a policy in place for such a contingency. Aside from the obvious memorializing games scheduled with the deceased club are not counted in the standings.

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 My biggest question is what did the whole New England Patriots* team know about Hillary Clinton? 1
sherpa Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 I wouldn't even consider the possibility, but the NFL charters are kind of an undesirable but interesting operation.
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 I hope nobody has the temerity to ask where the survivors would be buried. 1

Let's say the Bills plane goes down. No scratch that. The Patriots plane goes down. The Browns are scheduled to play the Pats and the Colts are not. The Browns go 10-5 because the game got cancelled and the Colts go 11-5 to clinch the home field. That's not fair. Also after reading the NFL plan I'm thinking we should have shot down the Bills plane at least once during the drought and got a new team.
