Irv Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 What do you think the NFL would do if a team had a plane crash week one of the pre-season and there were no survivors? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoTom Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 If it's NE, they'd just award them the Lombardi in advance, since ... you know ... they would have won it anyway. Any other team would probably forfeit their games and rebuild the following year, the same way they do with an expansion team. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right around the time of our SB years it got brought up and the NFL had a policy in place for such a contingency. Aside from the obvious memorializing games scheduled with the deceased club are not counted in the standings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) This sort of thing has happened before in various leagues at various levels in various sports around the world.

Re-read the trump thing again. It's literally just me throwing as many words with the letter B into one sentence.

No scratch that. The Patriots plane goes down. The Browns are scheduled to play the Pats and the Colts are not. The Browns go 10-5 because the game got cancelled and the Colts go 11-5 to clinch the home field. That's not fair. Also after reading the NFL plan I'm thinking we should have shot down the Bills plane at least once during the drought and got a new team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
