SteelKing728 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 The bigger question is...will there be a week 19 with only one game going? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I think the only option for the league will be to just plainly cancel the game fully. With the TV schedule as it is, it's probably virtually impossible at this point to push back everything a week. League rules don't allow them to call it a tie (for competitive reasons), so I think that's the only option as both teams were unwilling to continue (for good reasons). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip a coin or pick two players to play Madden live. I’m sure they could do something interesting outside of upending the post season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 The only reasons to find an option other than simply canceling the game all together is if Kansas City loses to Las Vegas, and to a lesser extent if Cincinnati loses to Baltimore.

wcblack34 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Frankly, I think the NFL needs to call the game a win for the Bengals. I know it sucks. But they were ahead when it happened. If it had happened in the middle of the 4th Quarter with the Bengals ahead, I think that's what would happen. It's an unprecedented situation, but you can't upend everything else. It sucks, but that's what should happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrplChilPill Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I really have no idea what they should do, other than not play it. Tie? No idea. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If KC wins Saturday afternoon, then home field advantage is theirs, and the result of the BUF/CIN is meaningless on that front. And if Cincinnati beats Baltimore, the AFC North goes to the Bengals regardless of the outcome of last weeks game. If both of those things happen, then the NFL can cancel the game and simply not count it in the standings. With the only aspect of the playoffs impacted being who is the 2nd vs 3rd seed. If KC loses and/or Baltimore wins, the NFL has a very tough decision to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea. all i can suggest is: postpone the regular Week 18 games for one week play the CIN-BUFF game on Week 18 at a neutral field (but even that could be a stretch as there are probably true PTSD cases going on for those players) Week 18 regular games happen on Week 19 cancel the Pro Bowl no week off between the last playoff games and the Super Bowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meixdaddy_10 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Dolphins pulling it out with a late FG. New England looking like they are going to lose to Buffalo. Steelers gonna win over Cleveland, but Miami is going to get that #7 seed...more than likely. Doubt Buffalo collapses this late in the game.

meixdaddy_10 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Houston up by 1 with 46 seconds to go. Yikes! Looks like a #1 overall pick for Chicago barring a miracle in Indy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
