  • Will the Buffalo / Cincinnati game resume this season?

    I don't think so. If that happens the seeding in the AFC will undoubtedly be affected, probably hurting the Bills.

    It probably will hurt Bills (who had tie-breaker vs. Chiefs from H2H win earlier this year) as long as Chiefs beat Raiders on Saturday.

    I would have preferred to have them play next weekend and push the playoffs back one week (eliminating the bye week before the Super Bowl)...but guess that caused other logistical problems.

      If the game is cancelled, then Cincinnati wins the AFC North Division and most likely will be the number 2 seed in the AFC. Bills will probably be the number 3 seed and Baltimore will be the number 5 seed.

        If Bills win against NE they will be 13-3 which will give them the 2 seed if KC wins or the 1 seed if KC loses based on win %

      As per Adam Schefter: if KC wins this weekend they will get the first round bye. But if any 2 of KC BUFF or CIN meet in the championship game it would be played at a neutral site. Obviously that means that the Bills/Bengals game will not be resumed.

        Assuming KC wins, Buffalo and Cincinnati become 2/3 or 3/2 if Mondays game is not played and they could meet in second round.I think that game should also be at a neutral cite.NFL has to decide by Friday and are in a tough place no matter what they do.Being a Dolphin fan need Bills to win Sunday and I think that will happen leaving Miami to beat Jets.

        Was listening to wgr550 (Buffalo) this morning and there was some question whether or not the Bills would play NE. The mental state of many of the players who witnessed what happened to Hamlin must be taken into consideration. On the positive side, he seems to be improving but progress is slow and there is a long road ahead

      From Jim Steeg, a former 35-year NFL executive, including 26 in the league office: “My gut is that it won’t be played,” said Steeg, who was in charge of the NFL’s special events and oversaw the changes to the Super Bowl in the 2001 season. “Maybe if this happened eight weeks ago then you could figure something. But where you are right now with the timing of it, you’ve got six playoff games next weekend, and then you’ve got four the next week after that, then the championship games. Those are tough to move out of those, particularly given what the networks have, the inventory they have tied into it and broadcast time.”
