For those worried about our chances, there is a lot of scientific literature about peak performance happening during times of grief. Think Favre on MNF after his father died. Let's hope Hamlin is stable soon, and don't be surprised if the Bills BLOW OUT their next opponent. And to top it off, every casual fan in the world will be rooting for the Bills to win the SB now.

Not ripping. I know people want to help. But there should be more awareness to how some of these player charities are really run.

I also never give to player charities. They hire shady 3rd party PR firms to run their charities that skim off the top. There are news stories out about them. Some take 50-60% off the top. I know people like to give in times of need, but give smart.

They're currently playing out different scenarios. If Hamlin is stable tomorrow morning, this game will be played this week.

I think that's the move if Hamlin lives, which thankfully it is looking like.

It's all up to what happens with Hamlin. If we hear he's stable tomorrow, then they'll play this game Wednesday and maybe move the Pats game back a day or two and give us the late Sunday playoff game. If not, then there is just no precedent in the NFL.

I don't think it's even an option for the NFL.

Why are we even talking the Bills forfeiting?

It went from "just great, Hamlin hurt himself, how are we going to finish the season with Jaquan Johnson" to "wait, Allen crying? Diggs crying? is....Hamlin not going to make it? whoaaaaaaaaa". You could feel the air get sucked out of the stadium right from the TV. Prayers for Hamlin. Bills players crying on the field will be the talk of the country tomorrow. The NFL won't make any decisions until we hear that Hamlin is stable.

I'm not going to defend Skip Bayless ever. But this played a big part in how long it took the NFL to cancel the game. 1. There isn't really protocol for a player ending up in critical condition on MNF. 2. This isn't hockey where you can just fit a game in at the end of a back to back. 3. This is a CRUCIAL game with major playoff implications. It cannot be called a tie or forfeited. 4. It cannot just be moved to tomorrow because we do not know what is going to happen with Hamlin. 5. To move the NFL season back one week is a logistical nightmare beyond anything you can imagine. 6. It's too late in the season to just fit a game into a bye week. So what do you do? This is a black swan event.

Play tomorrow is the move.

It's up to the Bills if they want to play. Not us. If we hear good news about Hamlin, then let them decide.

Nonsense. They would be flying to the hospital in that case.

Hopefully that is a good sign. They wouldn't wait if it was still life or death.

They already hate how much they have to talk about Allen. Let's keep winning and keep exposing their hatred of Buffalo and Allen.

The Bengals/Burrow are Johnny-come-latelys the last few weeks, and if you listen to their interviews, are buying into their hype. Smart money avoids the noise and takes the Bills.

Grass is always greener on the other side.

He's around the team constantly, in good spirits, and doing lots of media work. I also think he'll be back in the playoffs.

The universe will sort itself out in no time after Allen wins the SB this year.

The OP has such a December 2022 take. Davis will be a hero again after we win the SB this year.

It's not about stats or ratings or good games or bad games. It's about WINS and overcoming any adversity that life throws at you. That's why Allen will go down in history above those two. Burrow and Mahomes would instantly collapse against the weight that Allen has had to carry the last 5 years. "Great players who need a change of scenery" we would be saying about them. "If only Mahomes had better WRs, instead he's the Barry Sanders of QBs in Buffalo". You don't appreciate what we have here in Allen. You think you do, but the truth is more intense than you realize.

When it comes to Josh Allen, the media is 1 step forward and 10 steps back on every little thing. In context, it makes no sense, but when you have your head up your a** then Burrow and Mahomes are unquentionably a level above. Let's just win a SB and put an end to this.

In theory. In reality, sometimes it's your childhood friends that hold you back and resent your success the most.

Agree. But I'm technically correct. 5 straight and we're planning the parade.

We just won the last 6 under intense adversity. Why not 5 more?
