WOW.

 

So they essentially pick a random Chiefs game and call it a no-contest. If it’s a Chiefs win, then Bills get 1 seed.

 

In this scenario wouldn’t they need to preserve the H2H games with the Bills and Bengals to preserve for tie breaker scenarios?  In that case, they would have 13 (or 14) wins subject to elimination and just one loss…

Probably not, because this would BE the tiebreaker.

Forgive me if its already been mentioned, but i cant help but wonder....are the Bills still preparing to play NE on Saturday or is it up in the air? The time is ticking away..obviously Damar is the main concern here and i pray he makes it through this. 

The Bills are scheduled to play on Sunday.  It is only up in the air by some posters on this board, the game is scheduled and will be played.  

 

The Chiefs play on Saturday and this can affect how the Bills approach the game.  If the Chiefs win it is entirely possible our starters will not play, or not play very long.  It will be our pseudo bye week because the 1 seed will no longer be considered a viable option.

And then you have Dawkins' comments about the team's focus right now - not just mentally, but they literal team meetings. They are not preparing for the game (yet).

If, God willing, we get good news tomorrow, then Thursday Friday Saturday is the same sort of condensed schedule as you get for short week Thursday games. That is manageable, especially since their bodies won't be nearly as hurt as during a typical short week.

You hope the Bills confirm they are playing?

 

As far as the league goes, the game is already scheduled and has never not been scheduled.

 

 

 

I agree. however there will be skeptics and almost no way to prove them wrong unless you have multiple independent computer scientist overseeing the whole thing.

 

Through tonight the players have not talked about playing Sunday.  Dawkins even spoke of it. Their focus and energy is on Damar and his family. nothing else.  That will likely change. That’s why i said what i said.

Just a point that on a normal week, player preparations for a Sunday game start the previous Wednesday.

If the game is continued, I wonder what the circumstances are. Are the teams only able to continue with the roster as it was at the time of stoppage? If not then it can greatly help buffalo since we would be down 2 defensive backs. It would allow us to call up Rhodes and perhaps Johnson to return from his injury.

If it randomly selects the Bills vs Chiefs game we could potentially be out of playoffs? Ripple affect would be insane s. 

 

How would that be?  We would still be division winners with 11 wins.  No one else in the division would have more than 9.
