That leaves 5 remaining teams.  How do you play the second week?

If no clear winner emerges from all of this, a two-man sack race will be held on consecutive Sundays until a champion can be crowned.

Have the confidence to put your foot down. We are at a cross roads and need to take control of the situation. We are the best/ hottest team in the league, we beat the chiefs head to head. We cannot let the league roll over us and rip the 1 seed from our grasps. The time is now before a decision is made. We will not accept anything less than 1 seed. (Assuming we beat the pats)
 

 

 

Who is this we stuff?  This is up to the league and the teams. No amount of demanding from you is going to change that.  Also, the Bills didnt finish the game for obvious reasons.  That isnt any other teams fault.  That doesnt make the Bills entitled to the one seed either.

Too easy.  How about a two-man sack race while also doing egg toss.

If there were a year to win the superbowl this would be it. We will do it in such rare Billsy fashion that people will put an Asterisk next to it no matter what 

The asterisk will reflect the crazy adversity we've had to overcome - Sort of like the opposite of the Pats* asterisk. Don't know if I can type a superscript here, but something like "Bills cubed" (i.e., Bills^3)

The cinci game was postponed by the nfl and it’s not resuming. They screwed us. We are entitled to the one seed. As fans, we can make a difference.

They didnt screw us.  No one on that field was going to play the rest of that game and for good reason.  The NFL didnt postpone that game.  The players and coaches themselves decided not to play that game.  It was too traumatizing. 

 

You have a strange view of reality which leads me back to my original question... are you 12?

You have an odd number of teams left in the divisional round.

Then the team that scores the least amount of points in victory gets taken to the Arizona desert and buried up to their necks in sand and covered in honey. Live broadcast on pay per view to recoup the loss of revenue from Monday night. I would pay to see the Patriettes buried up to their necks being atttacked by scorpions, snakes and birds of prey. I mean it’s just an idea.

I usually don’t waste my time on mean people like you. But you’ll soon realize that we’ve been screwed royally and it’ll be too late. This is our year.

We didnt get screwed. A horrible incident happened. There is no way to fix it that is fair for everyone. Handing the Bills the 1 seed screws both the Chiefs and the Bengals because they both had opportunity to still get the 1 seed if the Bills lost that game.  Since that game didnt play out someone is going to get the short end of the stick.  All they can do is do what is most fair and move on.

I haven't felt a whole lot of positive emotions this week, let alone smiling or laughing, until today finally when we get some positive news.  So for now, thanks for making me laugh.  But please know when to stop...

Thank you brother. Let’s all unite and let our voice be heard. Finish the bengals game or grant us 1 seed or at least first round bye and home field.

I just said on another thread I was getting irritated at the Bengals fans assuming they would beat the Bills. At the same time there's no way we can say that the Bills would have beaten the Bengals. Calling the game one side or another to forfeit is wrong. This is the best solution, albeit not perfect, in a messy situation.

Give it up. You're constant whining about how the NFL screwed you over as a fan is pathetic.

I wonder if quietly the nfl and goodell are fuming that they didn’t finish the game. They can come out now and say all the right things, but I don’t really believe them.

I doubt it.  This would not have been that big a deal if the league had had a procedure in place and followed it.  It's their own fault that they didn't anticipate this situation in advance.  I imagine that will get rectified in the offseason.

There were so many reasons to finish the game. To not schedule later in the week or find another time slot is a head scratcher.  Now the NFL is in a mess and Bills will likely pay the price for it.

I really don't think they are fuming.  It's pretty clear from some of the media insider stories that the NFL allowed Buffalo to take the lead and the Bills put the kibosh on resuming that game and Cincinnati was right there supporting any decision.  Maybe even quietly, the NFL is relieved that THEY didn't have to make all the decisions to reshuffle the playoff weekends and somehow flex in the Bills/Bengals while trying to make the time between all the playoff games equitable.  This gives them a chance to float some new ideas out there on how to proceed and no one can bash the NFL for it.  They are doing their best.
