    Moving the playoffs back one week is insane so Bills and Bengals can play.  It gives the other 5 playoff teams a bye week.   I think best thing to do is go with conference  percentages 

     

    I'm struggling to understand why this is a big deal with this being an unprecendented situation. Tell the other 5 teams they can't practice at all the 1st week. And selfishly, it gives Micah Hyde possibly another week to return.

    Ages ranged from 1 to 38 (mean 12) with 70% < 16 years old

     

    not all were kids...

     

    She retweeted it from Dan Kaplan who is a writer for The Athletic, who is followed by every Farrar, Rappaport, Jim Nagy, Dr. Chao, Amy Trask, Joe Banner, Breer, Pete Prisco, Shcefter, Peter King, Rich Eisen etc... and added the part of the study that showed the mortality rate of the 69 people included in the study

     

    Thanks - Kaplan's tweet said "69 well characterized cases in youth sports" - guess I should have read the study. 

     

    In any event, we still don't know if Hamlin suffered from commotio cordis.

    None of this really matters, but since this thread is discussing football stuff I will post this here. I can't see the Bills beating the Pats this Sunday. Are Fraiser, Dorsey, and McDermott game planning as we speak? Will they hold practice to install the game plan tomorrow? Who's playing slot corner? Who's playing FS? Are all those players that looked shellshocked last night going to be ready to play at full-speed in a game that the Pats will play like a playoff game? IF we play the game, we'll have to play a preseason vanilla O and D with the Pats having everything to play for. I think the Bills go through the motions and get beat and enter the playoffs as the #3 seed. 

     

    Maybe, all depends on updates to Damar's condition over the next 24 hours. If they get an update he's off the ventilator and awake, likely they practice Thursday thru Saturday and are ready for the game. 

     

    No idea how the secondary would look other than Rhodes could be added to the 53. Patriots passing game is not exactly scary so we should be OK.

    I guess I’ll ask.

     

    Who is Lori Chase and does she have medical credentials? Sorry for being ignorant but I have no idea who she is. I take she is saying Damar has a 10% chance of surviving this?

     

    No, she specifically mentions a study on youth sports where 7 of 69 survived. Most of those kids likely didn't get the immediate attention that Damar did.

    Sponsor activities? Like ad space? 

     

    Honestly in my opinion this is where the NFL makes a bold statement that it is willing to take a few hits to get this done right. If a sponsor cancels or is unhappy they should show they will take care of that side without issue.

     If they just call Kelce for holding/OPI 37 times, no one would even be able to argue it was unfair. 😂

     

    You've also got airline reservations, hotel rooms, rental cars and a loss of a week's revenue to the Phoenix/Glendale area if you chop a week off between the conference champs and the SB. Should the NFL step up ? You bet ... Will they ? Who knows ?

    I've thought about it and this is my solution:

     

    1-8-23 - Week 18 - Play normally

    1-15-23 - Formerly Wildcard Weekend - Instead its just Bills vs Bengals

    1-22-23 - Formerly Divisional Weekend - Instead it is Wildcard Weekend

    1-29-23 - Formerly Conference Championships - Instead its Divisional Weekend

    2-5-23 - Formerly Bye Week for SB Participants (Pro Bowl stuff) - Instead Conference Championships

    2-12-23 - Super Bowl - Play normally

     

    Sure some plane and hotel reservations will get messed up but at most for what? Just Wildcard weekend? Playing field for Divisional round can only possibly be known for 1st seeds which is up in the air for both conferences anyway so that is the risk you take.

     

    Super Bowl remains the same. 

     

    I just don't see how they don't replay this game but then the Bills happen to play the Bengals in the playoffs 2 weeks later maybe? And that they can do? Doesn't make sense.

     

    To summarize this method messes up some plane and hotel reservations but is fair for all involved teams.

     

    Its the only solution.

     

    Agreed - I posted the same solution a few pages back. The counter was the sponsor activities that go on 1st week leading up to the Super Bowl.

    I wonder how this would impact Super Bowl logistics?  Isn't SB week/Pro Bowl week a large earnings period.  Last year there were hundreds of vendors set up the week before the SB with tons of events... Not to mention Phoenix is planning on a 2 week event...?

     

    You make a good point - unfortunately, there is no easy answer. Calling it a no-contest or a tie pretty much gives the #1 seed to the Chiefs.

    Doesnt this give ALL the other teams a bye before playing either one of us?

     

    In effect yes, but given the special circumstances I don't see a lot of choices. If the Bills or Bengals end up with the #1 seed, they would get the next week off. 

     

    So schedule wise ... 

     

    Bills-Bengals - Jan 14-15 (resume game where it left off)

    Wild card - Jan 21-22

    Divisional - Jan 28-29

    Conference champs - Feb 4-5

    Super Bowl - Feb 12

    This is a logistics nightmare.   Cancelling the game altogether with no winner impacts so many teams.  If the game isn't replayed I guess Im for the final score being what it was when the game was suspended.... but Im a Bengals fan and this might not be the most popular idea here.

     

    I don't see this as likely when the NFL has an extra week between the conference championships and the Super Bowl. Just cancel the Pro Bowl, move everything back a week and work with the facilities if there are conflicting events. Bills/Bengals weekend of 1/16.

    Its crazy how much trauma Buffalo sports fans had to endure over the years regarding player horrific injuries. From Kevin Everett, to Clint Malarchuk to Damar Hamlin. Good thing about it is those players ( Hamlin looks like he is going to be ok) that they were able to recover from their injuries and live productive lives. #PrayersforHamlin

     

    Not our player, but Richard Zednik as well

    TUA in Concussion Protocol Again!

    Tua situation is very unfortunate and has essentially derailed the Dolphins season at this point.

     

    Hope this kid can get healthy and better prepared in the offseason for the rigors of a 17 week NFL season because the talent is there for the Dolphins to be one of the league's truly elite teams and they were certainly on that path this season.

     

    Better prepared in the offseason for the inevitable concussions ? What would you suggest he do ?
