Sets the Bengals up as the villains.....

Maybe I read those sentences wrong.

Yes, by statistical definition it penalises the Bengals on the standings, but neither me or Nepa are suggesting this to 'penalise' the Bengals. I'm suggesting this just as an olive branch idea. Sometimes you just do something because it's nice, not for gain or for care on how it'll impact you. It would be incredibly well revered and probably remembered for a long time if the Bengals did something like that.

But as also said, I don't think the Bengals 'have' to do the above, nor do I think it'll look bad or anything if we don't. I don't think the Bills or the NFL would accept us forfeiting the game either. I think we'll just be supportive and will accept either a no-contest or a replay. Which is also a completely fine way for the Bengals to act on this matter too.

I do think it would look quite bad if we accept being given the win because we were 7-3 up after 9 minutes of the game though, we definitely shouldn't accept that. But if the NFL decided that, we also might not have much of a choice, I'm not sure. I think that's what Nepa was referring to about the Bengals 'being set up as the villains', but happy to be corrected.
