Yea I think our oline has hit their groove run blocking too. I’ve seen people saying cincy was on their way to a win but I just don’t see it. The way the game was going I think the bills would’ve won a shootout and at worst for us it was up in the air

Also I don’t think cincy can catch us for the 2 seed if the game goes unplayed so it does have a pretty big impact…although whatever they end up doing will

This situation likely wouldn’t have happened otherwise…the bills would be playing for the 1 and 2 seed if they lost to the bengals and played all their starters. I don’t think it’s a large enough complaint to effect any of the decision making but it’s certainly going to affect the playoff picture pretty significantly if the bills rest starters

There’s no way they play the cincy game after the week 18 games imo. It’s either gonna be in the next few days or not at all I’m assuming whatever they do they’re going to leave the final decision of whether to play up to both teams

I’m not at all saying you’re wrong about what should happen but i don’t believe a lot of this is true. The NFL would absolutely slide the bills pats game back if they end up deciding they want to attempt to reschedule the game later this week. I’m sure they will give the teams the final word on whether they want to play or not and the bills very likely will decline anyway and I really can’t see the bengals pushing for it to be counted as a forfeit there will absolutely be games this weekend though

Or against us…we were beating the Vikings worse at halftime than the bengals would’ve been beating us if they scored the td before the game was stopped. I think we’re undefeated when losing at halftime this season funny enough.

I’m hoping we all hear good news on Hamlin long before then. I’d think we’d know a lot about the prognosis whether it’s good or bad by Wednesday. Praying for good news…the early signs seem encouraging

Yea…idk why people are assuming it’s easy to book like 100 hotel rooms at the last possible minute. Even if they knew they’d have to come back to Cincinnati Tuesday they probably would’ve flown home last night still so that’s not proof of anything either way

For me it’s more that the players fought through so much adversity all year that they deserve a shot at competing for that top spot should they want that chance. It doesn’t at all matter what we want I would certainly agree with you there. I’d like to see them at least get the option to complete the game even if they turn it down

if positive news is coming it will be within the next several days. It sounds like his heart function returned to normal last night but they will leave him intubated for a few days to monitor things so he is not out of the woods yet.

As far as we know neither did the bengals though. Even if they went up 14-3 it was with an extra possession. The bills really had no problem driving down the field. I was a bit surprised to not see the bills go for that 4th and 3…that implies there was some level of confidence in the defense

Mahomes threw a game losing interception against us when we were missing a bunch of defensive starters in their home stadium. baltimore was up 20-3 on us in their home stadium when we were missing a bunch of defensive starters and Lamar threw a game losing interception.

On the flip side we were winning in the offensive trenches quite handedly and had already piled up quite a bit of rushing yards. Bills are pretty tough to stop when they can run the football and get good pass protection i would expect the bills to come up with a key sack or two with the bengals playing an absolutely horrible RT. I have no idea who was gonna win this one. Maybe if the bills got first possession and went down 14-3 I’d be closer to seeing where you were coming from but neither of those things happened Even if we go down 14-3 there’s a pretty good shot we would’ve come up with the td to make it 14-10

To be fair I don’t think that’s the ‘only’ thing they’re thinking about. If the nfl discusses continuing the game I would certainly want it left up to the players whether they actually want to continue or not. You can care about Hamlins health and think the situation is a bit unfair…it’s not an either/or that’s my guess as to how it’s going to go down…nfl will offer a reschedule and leave it up to both teams and if both teams agree they don’t want to play the game it won’t be counted.

If they cancel the game I’m pretty sure you’re right about how it’s going to go down. It’s pretty wild that kc essentially gets 2 gifts in one though…cincy had a shot at the 1 seed too

The bills held the chiefs to 20 missing like all their dbs

Yes…there’s no way to know who was gonna win this one. It was still relatively early in the first quarter and it appeared it was going to be a shootout

Take with a grain of salt but I have read on twitter that if the game is completed it will be within the next two days. Looks like they’re attributing the info to Vic carucci Sounds like the most they’re gonna do if the game actually happens is play the game this week and push back the bills/pats game a little next week

Yea it sounds like his heartbeat was restored but his pulse was pretty weak and the op was asking why he needed help breathing. This is great news…I’m hopeful they were able to restart his heart relatively quickly

He’s 1/2 then because he said the bills wouldn’t be able to run the ball…we had 35 rushing yards our first drive

He’ll likely be in the icu for a few more days labeled as critical condition I’d think.

I have never seen anything like that in my life…not even any of the really awful neck injuries where you weren’t sure if the players would even walk again. The whole bills team thought they were watching their friend die on the field it was absolutely awful

I think they’re gonna play it but they don’t want the focus to be on rescheduling the game right now which is the right call

Your heart can’t pump the oxygenated blood around your body well enough when your heart function is very compromised. So the lungs stop working as well and stuff starts to get backed up. he had a pulse but it was very weak so his heart likely wasn’t strong enough for him to breathe on his own. They put him on a ventilator to essentially breathe for him and it sounds like his heart function has returned to normal but as a precaution they’ll likely leave him on the ventilator for awhile and monitor things

Idk exactly what happened but I think an AED/defibrillator is supposed to stop your heart so that it can restart naturally on its own in the appropriate rhythm. So it’s possible that the shot to the chest knocked his heartbeat way out of rhythm to the point where he was losing motor function and the only way to save him was to restart his heart.
