Shame on the people in this thread complaining about other crap

And if they’re not ready… forfeit. 
 

If they’re not ready for the playoffs… forfeit. 
 

 

Everyone processes grief differently. Remember Favre playing after his father died? Dawson Knox this season after losing his brother? Not playing may make it worse because all you have is time to dwell on it.

Cancel the game….  Bills and Bengals only play 16 games.

It still hands the Chiefs the #1.

Wow you guys are embarrassing. Ripping people for emotionally trying to do something useful. Yikes 😳 

 

Not ripping. I know people want to help. 

 

But there should be more awareness to how some of these player charities are really run.

Agree. I don't even care about football right now. I wouldn't care if the Bills don't take the field again this year.

 

I can't believe I just typed that but it's the truth.

Been saying the same all night.

This occurred to me so I bought a Hamlin jersey.

 

But also gave his charity $30, it’s not a huge deal.

 

Hamlin jersey is a cool idea. Wonder what players get from them?  At any rate, would be cool for him to see his jersey as a top seller.

wha happened on this call?

 

It's only 10:30 here in Colorado so I'm going to wait on Coy Wire, who is listening in on the call and will report what it was about on CNN.

[HaldimandBills]

Ryan Clark and Scott Van Pelt were dignified, professional, and quite honestly were above and beyond what could be expected from Sports Media. 

 

Thoughts and Prayers to Damar Hamlin. At this point I dont care what they do with this game. Forfeit for all I care. Just get this kid ok so he can live a full, long, and healthy life.

They can’t do this. I don’t think there is a fair way to figure it out (other than to give the 1 seed to KC, who will have 1 more win). 

 

KC lost to BUF and CIN. 
 

I am happy to take an L if I’m Buffalo and call this a forfeit. No questions asked. 
 

But if you are going to not give an L, head to head seems more than fair in all honesty.

Though neither Favre’s father or Knox’s brother were taken playing football. Hamlin was taken severely ill/injured whilst playing the game. There will be an element of “but for the Grace of God…” for at least some time, every time a team mate is hit, every time someone stays down.

Who the ***** cares

[Locomark]

Alaina Getzenberger from ESPN just tweeted at 12:26 the Bills are flying home tonight with some players staying behind to be with Damar. Looks like they will be no game this week.

I did a quick Google and it said players get a cut if all general sales, but 2/3 of stuff with their name or picture.

Yes. I’m concerned about people sending their hard-earned money to a place that no one asked them to during an emotional time. Such a crazy thought from the site creator.
 

What I really should be doing as someone who doesn’t know anything about the situation is to tell people to spend money left and right without any due diligence. Grow up. 

 

You may have a point, but the link is being shared all over the internet and all over the world. No sense in getting worked up about something that you can't do anything about.

 

For me, I've avoided responded to about a half dozen posts in this thread that started to piss me off bc it isn't worth it.

 

My only thoughts tonight are for the health and well being of Damar, his family, the team and us Bills fans.

I would not be surprised if the Bills are done playing this year. Nobody cares about that right now.

The Bengals were winning the game when play stopped. That has to factor into the decision slightly. Forfeit is really the only fair thing to do, not that it really matters at this point.

but why does the score after 1 drive each matter at all? You say it has to but I think the more compelling argument is that it’s totally meaningless

They can have it.

Right now the ball is in the Bills hands.  They are going to be the ones to decide if the game gets played.
