So let’s say it happens to the Pats, late in the season, and puts them in the playoffs and keeps the Bills out, that’s ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only way a forfeit happens is if a team blatantly breaks rules and doesnt follow protocol. If that happens, then I'd be pissed at the team who had to forfeit, not the NFL or other team or anyone else. This is a very unique (strange) year. It will NOT be "fair". I want what is safest for everyone, not what is "fair". Edited October 8, 2020 by DrDawkinstein 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your hypothetical the bills already have a win by forfeit and they would have had to lose 2 division games, so yeah that'd be our own fault.

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 1 hour ago, mattynh said: I hate the idea of getting a win (or a loss) by forfeit, ******************************************** There are other options, go by win % and play 15 games vs give one team a loss and one a win. They could decide what to do later. If a bunch of other games end up in this same situation, then an 18th week is more reasonable. I said this before the season, get ready for an unfair season. But I was figuring different teams would play different amounts of games and they would go by win%. Win by forfeiture is cheap and will be seen as cheap by the public. I say that with the understanding the Titans screwed up.....I still dont like it. And that woudl be fair to the OTHER teams, not talkign about the Titans....how would you feel if the NFL starts gifting wins to the Pats. Luckily that’s never happened. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is what it is when these things start happening....at first it looks like advantage Bills when the Titans Steelers would get moved to Tuesday. Then it because advantage Titans (they get a free bye week). Now its advantage Bills for the Chiefs game. No matter what come from all of this the bitching will be off the charts across the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really arent that many options. Especially when we are this early in the season and still have a lot of weeks that could also get effed up. I'd say the randomness of it is what makes it more fair than not. But what I expect to happen: The NFL will "postpone" the game to an undecided later date, tbd. With the idea of adding a week at the end. And if things get worse, they cancel/forfeit it. But that probably wont be ultimately determined until close to the end of the season. In other words, the NFL will string us along and eff this up for everyone involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just not sure giving another team a win for a game that was never played, just so every team had 16 games played, makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again not ideal but its on each organization to field a team each Sunday. If the Titans can't do that because they were basically crapping into their own hands and smearing it on the walls then its a forfeit.

Right, that’s fine but if the NFL is giving away wins, what kind of season is that? Your feelings-based argument asked how people would feel if NE got a forfeit win. Since we're making up scenarios and NE isn't in line for one, I chose to ground your hypothetical in reality and gave the bills (and steelers ftr) forfeit victories.
