Interesting....but prefer they just flip a coin and be done with it.

Haven't we learned anything when it comes to the coin flip!?  you have 13 seconds to think about that.

I'll throw an idea out that I had a few years ago during covid. Sounds stupid but it's simple and effective-

 

Have a field goal shoot out. Each teams kicker starts at the 5 yard line. For every kick made, the ball moves back 10 yards. First kicker to miss, that team loses. Do a best of 7 or something. Bass vs whoever Bengals kicker is 

 

🤷

 

I actually like this a lot, but it should start at the 20.

 

Bass vs McPherson.

Heavy dislike if this is what happens

 

So buffalo gets to play for a chance at a bye mean while every other team has a bye 

 

Just give me the 3rd seed at that point and we will go scorched earth in the playoffs 

Agreed. Forfeit the Bengals game. Rest starters against the Pats. Get ready for the playoffs.

 

But whatever the Bills are cool with is fine by me.

The above idea sucks

Yep. If that’s the idea and I’m the Bills , I’m resting for 2 weeks barring a KC loss to the Raiders.

Well that would piss off alot of other teams

Sure would , and the NFL wouldn’t like it because they’d have a game that is a farce mixed in with NFC playoffs. I’m not sure how the Bills would think about that scenario but my guess is they’d take the guaranteed rest.

I felt early on that this game will never be made up and still believe that. 

But i will say this… there has been a significant groundswell today of national media and fans saying this game must be played no matter what the inconvenience is for the NFL. 

I do think the NFL is taking the temperature of the room so to speak, and this could tilt the scales to replaying it.

The playoff bye isn't about rest (although it's a nice bonus). It's about an automatic advancement to the next week. Playing out the Bills-Bengals game to assure that bye plus homefield advantage is worth it.

Teams rest their starters all the time in the final week. Literally no one cares

The league cares and tries to avoid it with times etc They might not care in this case though by making Bills / Bengals after week 18. The Bills will have to play NE game like it matters to them

I don't think it's worth it when you factor in having to play an additional game.  The loser of a hypothetical Bills-Bengals restart is going to be made much worse off than if the league had simply assigned them a loss.  The winner will be happy, but my guess is that both teams would reject this offer if they were given a reasonable alternative, such as a coin flip.  

 

If it were up to me as a fan, I would rather settle for the #3 seed with certainty and skip the Bengals game than replay that game while our potential next-week opponent gets a bye.

I don’t care about the outcome of the game at this point. Whether we forfeit, whether we tie, whether this is a healthy scratch and this turns out to be a 16 game season for us with an asterisk next to our name, I do not care. 
 

God bless Damar, that’s all that matters. I do hope we crush the Patriots next week though.
