wakingfane Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) A Wednesday to Sunday or Thursday to Monday turnaround would be mostly the same as a Sunday to Thursday week. Otherwise, give Cinci, Buffalo, and KC a bye... Let the other four play wild card weekend but only the winning team with the best record moves ahead to the Divisional round Edited January 3, 2023 by wakingfane Quote
Drew21PA Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 Cancel it prsy damar is going to just go home at this point - sounds like a long road praying for the players as well that look of pure terrified horror on Allen’s face says enough for me. Their kids people forget 24 is too young for Hammer… 1 Quote
Process Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 I would be very surprised if they finish the game. There just isn't enough time and they aren't adjusting the playoff schedule. 1 Quote

If not KC will get #1 seed for no other reason than they didn't play a game. Quote

I know you may not view him as a kid but - a kid at 24 was lifeless in the field and MILLIONS of viewers saw this very team with looks of shock, grief and just horror on their faces. not sure you understand the gravity of this - no seeding and playoffs are legit right now. hell I wouldn’t be surprised if some players walk away after seeing something like this. I wouldn’t blame the bills if they couldn’t get over this trauma they saw and experienced 1 Quote

Boatdrinks Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 38 minutes ago, TBBills said: Do the Chiefs get #1 seed automatically if the Bills Bengals game doesn't get played? The issue seems trivial at the moment, but since we’re in this thread … I’d argue that they shouldn’t. As others have pointed out, the Chiefs lost to both teams involved here. Who knows what will actually happen and I wouldn’t be shocked. It would be another “ just give it to ‘em” 1 1 Quote

This is unprecedented as far as I know and the NFL has a delicate situation to handle here. They have to be practical and rational but respect the emotions involved at the same time. I don’t envy those who have to make the decision 2 2 Quote
Buffalo Ballin Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, TheWeatherMan said: We’re doomed if this is the solution. 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. Edited January 3, 2023 by Buffalo Ballin 1 Quote
Matt_In_NH Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) There is no way to handle this without a team or teams getting a perceived disadvantage. Edited January 3, 2023 by Matt_In_NH 1 Quote

Other teams should be fighting for number 2. 1 1 Quote

If not KC will get #1 seed for no other reason than they didn't play a game. A Wednesday night game is probably what they'll do if we get good news with Hamlin. They'll pry push the Bills/Pats game and the Bengals/Ravens game to Monday night. During Covid the NFL was extremely aggressive to make sure all the games were played to the point where the Broncos had to start a practice squad WR at QB. I'm just guessing at this point though as it's an unprecedented situation. 1 1 Quote

They go by winning percentage. 13-3 for the chiefs 12-3 for the bills. Chiefs were the one going into last night by virtue of them winning their game Sunday.

GunnerBill Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 As others have said Damar is likely to remain in ICU for a number of days. I find it hard to imagine them restarting or replaying this game while that is the case. The NFL if they are smart are not thinking about short term fallout and playoff seeding here but long term fallout and the future of the league. 1 Quote
