Agree the league won't do that either

Someone remind me why we're forfeiting when the league may just declare the game a no contest or give each team a tie?

Solitary camp

Not sure being 2 or 3 means very much. Balt (is Lamar playing) looks to be 6, NE, Mia(is Tua playing), PIT? Won't know your opponent going into Sunday. No solution is perfect, just seems like the most reasonable.

League needs to avoid this scenario: Game is declared no contest, we're going by W%, then on Sat. KC wins. Standings then: KC 14-3 BUF 12-3 CIN 11-4 No incentive for BUF, who is playing a team NE battling for playoffs, other teams including MIA,PITT,Jax? are impacted in a negative competitive manner. Adding the choice of Bye or Home Field is a way of balancing the scales between 1 and 2. Bills would be interested in staying ahead of CIN. Also would give CIN an opportunity for 1 or 2 given they win and BIlls lose. NOTE: Cin owns the tiebreaker over us from what I've seen (SOV)

Yeah heard him on the radio on way to work-good call!

It sounds, from Sheffter, that an idea may be gaining traction on giving the highest W% the choice of a bye or homefield. And, of course the remaining #2 W% would get the other unchosen option. Not bad

No they don't

The Bills/Bengals restart is not happening, no way, no how. Neither team will go for it, and the NFL has no taste for it interrupting playoffs.

The chance of the Bills not playing is 0%- mark it down.

You must not be a Bills fan

Well that would piss off alot of other teams

The above idea sucks

I'd take that its better than the alternative.

They're about to do what NFL Network was saying. No contest Bengals/Bills. Chiefs win Saturday have the extra game and get the number 1 seed. The guys on radio were saying life's not fair, Bills get screwed as Chiefs get top seed. It Stinks if that's what the league managing expectations is up to.

I'd settle for a coin flip, random number generator or Madden Simulation before the solution of KC getting the 1 seed. Agree, This is the key part IMO

So on the NFL Radio Murray/Gannon were just saying that in the end, life is not fair and therefore the Bills will suffer the most unfairness. They believe the NFL will call game a no contest, Chiefs win Sat and have a better winning % and get 1 seed. Do you think the NFL would want to release this plan prior to the games? I'm not so sure

I would caution that it has been less than 48 hours and the NFL is correct in doing nothing so far rather than making a bad decision. Let things cool off and let Hamlin continue to improve. If it means people don't find out a decision when they think they need to-well tough. As for the coin flip idea, I'd rather they played a computer simulation myself and used the results. As for the restarting the game from the point the game it left off that's ludicrous. Can you imagine at the same spot on the field where it all occurred and ref blows the whistle to play ball-not happening.

The score keeps changing, but Bills keep winning so all good!

You never know how a team is mentally until the game. I've coached (and supposed signs) like good practice/ Bad practice can very often be incorrect readings with teams. I'd like to think that the news of Damar improving continues today and the team strike a rallying cry of "Do it for Damar or he'd want us to take care of business" become the reality. Bottom line is we won't know until Sunday at 1:00. I kind of look at it like a bank, you make deposits and take out money. Have the Bills got enough left deposited emotionally after the events of this year?

They're having meetings and a walkthrough was reported

Which is why using a random number generator (like the Draft Lottery) to remove a Chiefs game and put them on equal footing could be used.

Perhaps if Chiefs and Bills both win this week, as mentioned in another thread, the NFL will use a random number generator to throw out one of the Chiefs games.

Sure it teaches you physical and mental toughness as well as team play in a way no other sport really can.

What a humanitarian smdh
