THE GAME... what should NOT happen.

First playoff games are on Saturday (1/14) at 4:30 PM and 8:15 PM.  That's eleven days from now.
Next set of playoff games are on Sunday (1/15) at 1:00 PM, 4:30 PM and 8:15 PM.  That's twelve days from now.

Either the Bengals or the Bills would be playing wildcard weekend.  If the NFL tries to reschedule this game, one of these teams is going to have to play three games within twelve days.  That's absurd, and dangerous.

Best thing to do is either declare a tie or a no-contest.  This will affect seeding, and teams are simply going to have to grit their teeth and understand the extreme circumstances of this and adhere to the humanity side of it.

Yes 100%, it's not like we have a bye week.  It's too late in the season and puts both the Bills and Bengals at a disadvantage going forward. As far as the NO CONTEST determination, I was told that is exactly what is going to happen.  The NFL will look at team winning % to determine seeding, so the game will not count against either team.   

Now, if they go this route are the fans going to be reimbursed?

We have 5-day to prepare for the Ravens, and defend our "Kings of the North" crown.  On to the Ravens.
