Society has a real sickness with wanting to find a bad guy for everything that happens. Tee Higgins. They don’t care about safety because they’re playing too many games. They were right to stop it but they should’ve immediately.

 

They did not want to flood the immediate vicinity with 65k people until Hamlin and his mother were out of there.

There is no way the NFL will deem the game a Bengals Win. It could be called no contest. Problem there is that the Ravens can no longer win the division. If the Bills play the Patriots, the Bengals vs Bills will need t be played later in the week and the playoff schedule adjusted.

Yep and Bills will drop from the 1 seed to 2 seed, and the Bengals will stay at the 3 seed; unable to jump Buffalo since the Bills will still be a game up on them. Biggest issue is awarding the AFC North to the Bengals without the Ravens having an opportunity to win it. 

As much as we all care about football, I think the Bills happily will forfeit the 1 seed, home field and a bye in order to grieve and pray for their teammate. 

How are the Bills supposed to practice and game prep for a game on Sunday? Whole thing is a nightmare.

Why can’t Week 18 be played regularly but make Bills/Pats and Bengals/Ravens the Saturday games. Then Bills/Bengals play Thursday night.  Then depending on the outcome, the corresponding playoff game/games are late Sunday and Monday. 

That would be 3 games in 10 days.

That's a lot of critical games in a short span. Not even sure they can do that. The Player's Association will go ballistic.

Because if they play that Thursday night (Jan 12), the playoffs are scheduled to begin Saturday, January 15th. Doesn't work.

Is there no rule for what happens if a game is canceled in the middle? There’s gotta be right?

I don't think so. It wasn't even in the middle, each team had 1 drive. 

If it was the start of the 4th quarter maybe they'd just say whoever was winning, wins. But they won't do that here.
