I agree, if game not played, Bills are biggest loser if Chiefs and Bills win.

I also don't feel Ravens and others should be kept in limbo, NFL needs to determine fate of Bills/Bengals game sooner than later.

So who looks good at #32?

Play the damn game!!!!    Bengals' officials should be calling New York every hour demanding the game be played.

You can stop banging that drum...it's not happening.

After looking closely at the playoff implications, I just don't see how the NFL can't resume the Cincy/Buffalo game to determine an outcome.

If Bills win this Sunday, then they would lose #1 seed to KC if game is not played.

Of course if KC loses, then #1 seed is really up for grabs.

Too many teams impacted to cancel the game and not play it IMHO

Thoughts?

Next tie breaker after conference is, common opponents which is also a tie, so the next tiebreaker is SoV, which the Bengals have an insurmountable lead in.

This just makes too much sense, sucks but we will be the team that gets screwed. Oh well, we are in the Playoffs and can beat any team.

If you would of asked me if I would be fine with that before the season I would say yes. Just more motivation for our team.

No, regardless of a W or L, if the game is a NC, Bengals win the North, so they would be screwing the Ravens.

That is true, we win the AFC North with a No Contest ruling.

Reading the Raven's message board today and they are pretty apathetic about it all. They don't seem to care much if they can't play for division crown and are 5th or 6th seed. They don't expect Lamar Jackson back nor a win in the playoffs.

Are you asking who looks good for a first pick in round 2 by Texans?

Is someone missing a pick?

I'm not so sure anymore.  Just set a viewership record for MNF, for a game played in our house.  In fact, Bengals games in primetime have done VERY well this year.

Rising team with ever-growing national awareness.

Yes, Dolphins for tampering with Brady and Sean Payton.

They were docked 1st round in 2023 and 4th round in 2024

(01-05-2023, 02:31 PM)Earendil Wrote: Agreed. But at this point, I don't see that as a likely outcome.

Me neither, I'm still leaning towards the game being called a tie/no contest.

Oh yeah,but yeah I was actually curious about the Texans second round pick.

And what's wrong with screwing the Ravens?
