I was telling my wife last night, I feel a little dirty going to and expecting to be entertained by these guys for a few hours. It feels wrong and insensitive. But, theres also something to be said for doing things that are "normal" when you are going through rough times or trauma. I am looking forward to being with the Bills Mafia community and being able to show our love to the players, coaches, GM, training staff, doctors ect. These players provide so much joy to community and its important for the community as a whole to be together. The shout song is a part of that, as is introductions and the charging Buffalos before kickoff. I get it, I'm torn about the propect of just showing up like its a regular game. But I'm also looking forward to the community being together and playing for Damar and hearing the shout song. Expand Thanks, I do agree with you and my post was lacking in context and perspective. I just hope as we all do that there is some positive news in the next few days. 1 Quote

The Red King Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 Wait. If they keep all the games as possible throw-outs that still gives Buf a 14/17 chance of winning 1st seed. Still heavily in our favor. All I'd want is someone from the Bills making the random pick. That way if it goes to KC we know it was our fault. At the same time, should BUF win and KC lose, this will all be academic. Quote

Though even should BUF win and KC lose, they may still have to do this anyway to settle 2nd seed should CIN win. Quote
Aussie Joe Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 Quote Expand Allbright has deleted his “random number” tweet which he said was just based on a “brain storming session” and now thinks the Chiefs deserve the No 1 seed Quote

One, or both or us, then have to play a team coming off a bye week … in the WC round of the playoffs. Nah.. that’s absurd. Expand So you think the Bills would turn down the opportunity to earn a first round bye because they could be playing a team that got one? I don’t think so! And all the other teams would out number and out vote these two. I still think Week 19 makes the most sense. The game has to be played. Quote

Negan Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 They're not replaying this game, don't think they'd have the Bills go there and relive that experience. A playoff game is a different experience if the Bills have to go there. Imo Quote

Bruffalo Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 Just play the game in Madden and stream it at this point. I don't see any reason to play through a game that is going to be such a raw nerve of emotion. 1 Quote

Straight Hucklebuck Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 I would still be on the more surprised side if the league didn’t reschedule and play the game as opposed to some math model. Quote
HopelessNJBuffaloFan Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 Ok, 2 days later since the game and my feelings have not changed. The game is secondary to Damar. If we are bumped to the 3rd seed, then so be it. Dollar, team or trophy is not worth more then a life. Quote

Humane227 Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 Someone said it earlier and they’re right - the health of Hamlin is biggest concern. I do not know what the league will opt to do regarding rescheduling the game or playoff seeding. There seem to be very few good choices, and no matter what is decided some teams will feel the decision unfairly impacts them and their playoff odds. What I do believe is that the league MUST announce how they plan to handle the currently postponed Bills/Bengals game and playoff seeding prior to Saturday. If they do not then seemingly half the AFC would be unsure if their games mattered or not. I believe the NFL will wait either as long as possible or until there is some POSITIVE news regarding Hamlin’s health status to announce anything. They don’t want to appear callous. 1 Quote
