The Red King Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 No surprise. And I figured they'd consult with both teams for their opinions over what should be done. Quote

ExiledInIllinois Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 Kick the can down road, let week # 18 shake out... SEE what happens, then decide. 1 2 Quote
colin Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 im guessing if they wipe the game, it's because the bills asked to not play it given the obvious circumstances, and the bengals didn't protest (and they'd look terrible to protest it let alone i doubt there is much support in the organization to press for something like that right now). that would essentially be the bills abdicating their shot at holding the 1 seed, the bengals giving up their shot at a better seed (sort of accepting the 3 seed), and KC getting gifted the 1. given that the bills have the most skin in the game wrt rankings and are giving up the 1 seed, i don't think any other teams would really complain. 2 Quote
msw2112 Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 Perhaps they wait to see the results of next week's games to see if this game is necessary to determine playoff seeding. That said, it's hard to imagine a scenario where it isn't. I guess if the Chiefs and Bengals both lose next week and the Bills win, the Bills would lock up the #1 seed regardless of this game, but does that still leave the #2 vs. #3 seeds (KC vs. Cincy) in question and/or the AFC North championship (Cincy vs. Baltimore)? I don't have the time to run the scenarios....back to work. Continued thoughts and prayers for Hamlin. 1 Quote
zow2 Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 Not resuming the game is as much of a no-brainer as postponing the game last night. I expect them to announce a tie, no contest or something similar. They will figure out who gets seeded where based on week 18 results...and some team(s) fans may not be happy but the NFL will do the best they can. And every team and fanbase involved will live with it and be OK. 3 1 1 1 Quote
BillsFanSD Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) Makes sense. There's no realistic way to make up a Monday night game in the same week, and then turn around and play the following weekend. Now they need to make a call on how they're handling this game overall, so that teams know where they stand going into the last game of the season. Edited January 3, 2023 by BillsFanSD Quote

May be they give a W to both teams and allow the Bills the 1st round bye ot mentally re-group. Again, these games are so far away in the minds of the players...it really doesn't matter until Hamlin recovers. Prayers to Hamlin and his family. Go Bills ! 1 Quote
Success Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 It's the right call. Life goes on, and business goes on - but w/ the way the players were reacting last night, it's hard to imagine them even practicing this week, much less trying to play a game in one of the next couple of nights. A positive update about Hamlin will shift the energy a bit. Here's hoping. 1 1 Quote
