What a Tuel

I don't see why people do this, he will play when he is ready. Why are doctors, coaches, and his own opinion disregarded in favor of an arbitrary line in the sand of 3 weeks from now instead of 2? Have some trust in the professionals.

Source? I still see speculation that he may not but no official word yet.

True but the perceived conflict of interest will only grow.

Did the line go up? I am curious if Vegas knew this all along with opening at -10. Maybe they just thought it was likely but this is why I dont get why the NFL got into betting (besides the mountains of money they will make) but the idea that vegas knows before others and are in bed with the NFL is a little unsettling. I don't mean rigging, I just mean the amount of insider info that is just out there. Seems ripe for corruption.

Jan 10, 2023 · Joe Croom. @croomphotos. There will be some great news regarding our team coming this week

Especially with that NY Media.

I'm pretty sure he did have an offer from an undesirable team. Of course other teams aren't going to announce they went with their 2nd choice though so we will never know. I'm not sure the Panthers or Texans or Cardinals are super desirable teams. With no QBs and a decent QB who wants input on the hiring of the next HC. On top of that Dorsey may not even believe he is ready for this type of role. I think so too.

Dorsey may not even be interested. Everyone thought Daboll was gone last season and he wasn't.

I was curious how many people are going to be dining out at a table during the game....

Tom Brady played a full half in the meaningless Bucs vs Falcons game. Why is no one criticizing that?

Yeah I didn't see why they wanted the NFC to continue as normal. I wouldve proposed moving them both back. I get the perspective. I just disagree the Bills would have declined to play for the 1st seed if given the opportunity.

One is a disadvantage because we didn't put ourselves in the driver's seat (or rather the NFL didn't allow us to). One is a disadvantage because we fairly lost. I'd rather put us in the driver seat, but I understand the weight you guys believe the bye week would benefit other teams.

I don't disagree that the Bills did not want to replay the game until after Hamlin's condition improved. What I disagree with is that the NFL offered the Bills/Bengals to play the game after the Week 18 games and the Bills declined. I don't think this offer was ever made. The NFL should have said "to hell with it causing too much work to move a few dates (which no one knew who was traveling where anyway), lets push the playoffs back a week. We are going to make this right and make sure these two teams do not lose an advantage because they did the right thing."

This is absurd. New England was "gutting our secondary" too in most people's opinions today and yet we won by 2 scores. How is that possible? You can't judge a game by its first 8 minutes.

This provides no source, and no indication the players said this. You think that if Josh Allen was told they will reschedule the game and the playoff implications obviously known and he said "nah, I don't want to"? Doubtful. What also contradicts this is we may play the Bengals in 2 weeks. So we don't want to replay them now, but in 2 weeks its fine? Makes little sense.

There is zero indication of this.

Because it automatically tells the Bills and Bengals that they do not get the same opportunity as the other AFC Teams to improve their playoff position. It also tells future teams not to do what is good for the players bc the NFL won't go out of their way to make it right and will disadvantage you as a result.

I don't either and prefer rescheduling but it isn't worse than not playing at all and defaulting to whoever has the 1st seed at the moment.

We didn't punt last year but it was much closer than people remember. 26 to 21 with 7 minutes left in the 4th quarter. A long final drive by Josh that took 5 minutes and ended with a TD put the Pats out of their misery.

They should've done a coin flip to decide the games outcome if they absolutely could not reschedule. I don't see how that is worse than just saying KC gets the top seed 😂

They absolutely do not deserve it. I have said it a thousand times, the NFL should have moved mountains to ensure there was the least amount of competitive impact to teams, especially the two teams that were dealing with what happened that night. Instead they said 🖕, we've got money to make and just canceled the game outright. The Bills were screwed out of a chance to prove they could be 14-3, and win the top seed and all the benefits that come with that. The Bengals were screwed out of a chance to prove they could be 13-4, and win the 2nd seed and all the benefits that come with that. The Chiefs were screwed out of maybe, potentially, if the Bills make it to face them in the AFCCG then they have to play at a neutral site. Boo freaking hoo.

Chargers don't have the luxury of resting their starters and coming out flat Saturday.

Sucks so much it has 2nd lowest points allowed in the league (29 points less than 3rd lowest).

No, because we are a full game ahead of them 13-3, and they are 12-4. As opposed to the Chiefs who are only a half game ahead 14-3. The NFL doesn't consider the Bills/Bengals game to exist anymore so the "what-ifs" of if they beat us don't either. Its the opposite caveat to the Chiefs stealing the 1st seed. Crap rolls down hill I guess. Pretty terrible that the two teams that put the player and their teams first were the most negatively impacted by NFL's makeshift rule changes. You'd think if the NFL had a backbone they'd have moved mountains to get the game played at another date even if it means moving the playoffs back a week, to ensure that both Cincinatti and Buffalo get the opportunity to maximize their playoff positions.

Simmer down guys. There is zero chance they were mocking lifesaving CPR on a player. Clearly they were just idiots that were doing a celebration in the moment that has been done before not thinking of the optics.
