Some might feel like I'm just being an old curmudgeon, but it wasn't all that long ago that Ryan Shazier had his neck broken, laid on the field for 45 minutes, and they STILL finished the game.  Football is a dangerous sport with inherent physical risks that every man who plays the game is made fully aware of, prior to snapping on that chin strap.  I feel terrible for the player and his family, but life still must go on.

This is the only option in my eyes. Finish the game or forfeit. If we finish the game, it needs to be Tue night or Wed we cannot expect the other 30 teams to push things back a week. You cannot expect the Bengals to go into the playoffs with a week less recovery time as everyone else. The Bills should concede the victory it is their players that could not continue. It is a tragedy, but you have to have a win or a loss a tie is only going to hurt us in seeding which none of this was our fault. 

Some teams play on 4 days rest on short weeks rather have a full week to prepare for the Ravens, but I really see no other options.
