NFL Week #18 - Patriots* @ Bills - Post Game Thread
The 9 Isles replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
Josh looked a little frustrated with him which says a lot, he typically doesn’t frown at teammates. -
NFL Week #18 - Around the NFL Saturday edition

Maybe the lamest team motto goes to the Jaguars and their “Teal with it” phrase. Lol. -
Updated scenario for scheduling to be voted on Friday
The 9 Isles posted a topic in The Stadium Wall
From Tom Pelissero: https://twitter.com/tompelissero/status/1611184918670807041?s=46&t=RrhAPVYRUD6gwIBnYR-f9Q NFL clubs will consider Friday in a Special League Meeting a resolution recommended by the Commissioner and approved today by the Competition Committee, governing both the AFC Championship Game and ramifications on the AFC North winners. Here’s the two-part resolution: 1. The AFC Championship Game will be played at a neutral site if the participating teams played an unequal number of games and both could have been the number one seed and hosted the game had all AFC clubs played a full 17-game regular season. Those circumstances involve Buffalo or Cincinnati qualifying for the game as a road team and are listed below: Scenario 1 Buffalo and Kansas City both win or both tie - a Buffalo vs Kansas City championship game would be at a neutral site. Scenario 2 Buffalo and Kansas Cit both lose and Baltimore wins or ties - a Buffalo vs Kansas City championship game would be at a neutral site. Scenario 3 Buffalo and Kansas City both lose and Cincinnati wins - a Buffalo or Cincinnati vs Kansas City championship game would be at a neutral site. 2. If Baltimore defeats Cincinnati in Week 18 it will have defeated Cincinnati, a divisional opponent, twice but will not be able to host a playoff game because Cincinnati will have a higher winning percentage for a 16-game schedule than Baltimore will for a 17-game schedule. If Baltimore defeats Cincinnati and if those two clubs are schedule to play a Wild Card game against one another, the site for that game would be determined by a coin toss. If Cincinnati wins the Week 18 game or if Baltimore and Cincinnati are not scheduled to play one another in the Wild Card round, the game sites would be determined by the regular scheduling procedures. "As we considered the football schedule, our principles have been to limit disruption across the league and minimize competitive inequities," Goodell said. "I recognize that there is no perfect solution. The proposal we are asking the ownership to consider, however, addresses the most significant potential equitable issues created by the difficult, but necessary, decision not to play the game under these extraordinary circumstances -
What if the Bills refuse to play the Patriots?
The 9 Isles replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall
Problem is that there is a lot of pressure and push back against American culture and to try and turn the country into some sort of extension of the bizarre, overly emotional and completely naive college culture. -

Most people have had traumatic incidents in their lives, you can’t turn the whole world into a safe space. You can’t just put life on hold indefinitely due to a random and completely unique incident. If the fans and the players are so distraught and this is just so unbearable then the whole NFL should fold and eliminate any risk whatsoever no matter how minuscule the odds, to save people from ever going through this again. I may sound insensitive but this is the real world and crappy things happen everyday, we can’t just succumb to being melancholy and scared. I hope and pray that Damar pulls out of this and makes a complete recovery but stopping games form be played won’t help him recover any sooner or more completely. -
What Bengals & Chiefs fans are saying about the situation:
The 9 Isles replied to BigDingus's topic in The Stadium Wall
Actually I have lost many close family and friends and that is exactly why I said what I said and I know the difference between those relationships and a celebrity or sports figure I admire but have no personal relationship with. -

The 9 Isles replied to BigDingus's topic in The Stadium Wall
In all honesty there is a lot of this going on right now. The concern for Damar Hamlin’s condition and future is sincere and absolutely warranted but people climbing over one another to show how much they care is getting theatrical. We all pray for his well being but let’s not all pretend we are close friends or relatives of the young man. He has a family and friends who are there for him and who genuinely have an emotional bond with him. -
Meh. The Bills always give up one or two of those hot knife through butter drives but usually sure right up. I think the Bills first drive was indicative of exactly what McDermott wants on offense, a balanced grind you down, frustrate the opposing linemen and use up the clock to keep the defense fresh. I think it would have been a great game considering to two teams abilities.

The Cheatriots*; from 7-6 to 8-8. A fly in the ointment
The 9 Isles replied to Sierra Foothills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Remember that fumble in the end zone against Minnesota? That close to none of this mattering. Such a ridiculous play call and when it happened I knew it would haunt us at the end of the season. It was a guaranteed win with 41 seconds to go but nope that would have been too easy. -
NFL Week # 16 - Bills at Bears - 2nd half game thread

One and done in the playoffs, this team isn’t nearly as good as they’ve been hyped up to be. Last year was their chance. -

Allen is not MVP material anymore. What is up with him?
