I think we all would.

For the record, I wouldn't.  I mean, I'll support the team in the same way that I support my adult children when they make decisions that I personally disapprove of, but I'll still disapprove.

I have a feeling the NFL would fine the crap out of them.  That’s messing with way too much.  

Not a chance that would be a PR nightmare,  HUGE

What if the Patriots refuse to play too as a display of solidarity for player safety? The NFL has looked bad this year(Tua & more). 

Would be quite a statement. 🤔

They wouldn't be publicly fined, but there would be some strong behind-the-scenes coercion to play that game. It affects like four different teams in regards to playoff seeding. Five, if you count Buffalo.

Then I will watch something else on Sunday. Football is just a kids game played by elite athletes. Life and well-being is way more important than a kids game.

What if we play Cinci on Sunday instead of the Bellicheats? Isn't the Pats game a meaingless game anyways?

 

No, if the Pats win, they clinch. And the Bills are still playing for #1.

If the team publicly states they're not ready, especially if there aren't positive developments with Hamlin, it would be a PR nightmare for the league to push back on it.  That's why you have Troy Vincent out there today saying the league will look to the Bills Players and Coaches for direction.

Not for the Pats, and also could decide the AFC North depending on what ends up happening with the Bills / Bengals result.

Are we playing for #1? Who knows what is happening with the Cinci game? I havn't heard anything yet.

 

They NFL is talking about a Week 19 at Cincy. We better win this Sunday, unless we want to concede the #1 seed.

Jason McCourty on GMFB made a point that many of these guys have dealt with adversity their whole lives and sports/football have been an outlet /escape from friends getting killed, poverty, broken families , parental drug abuse, crime ridden neighborhoods…they reached the top of their profession through hard work , having supportive teammates … I think it will be positive to get back to doing what they do best and where they thrive
