He was in Kentucky yesterday building bridges with the KY senator.

If the Bengals-Bills game is not played and thus not counted in the standings, it means the Bengals automatically win the AFC North.
There is no way the Ravens can win the AFC North at that point, as the Bengals would be guaranteed a higher win percentage.

On the flip side, if the Bengals lost to both Bills and Ravens, they are then in the wildcard.

Bengals were not going to lose to either, and we all know it.

You mean the guy who is getting the Brent Spence bridge as well as America's infrastructure rebuilt?  Benedict Donald promised to do all this but that was just another lie, just like everything else that came outta his goddam mouth.

Shouldn’t the debating of how incompetence of presidents be located in another forum?

Now talk about the rapid inflation rates and the crippling effect it has on lower and middle class families. Let me guess, Donnie's fault too?

Just so we have all the facts straight, McDermott wanted to be at the hospital and i doubt anyone on the Bills wanted to continue playing. Zac agreed and i bet there was only a small handful of guys on the Bengals that wanted to play. 

The NFL left it up to the teams to decide what they wanted to do.

Looks like the NFL is not going to resume the Bills-Bengals game, per Sara Elyse.

Okay. But in the real world, which most of us live in, they could have lost both of those games.

This isn't their full time job so they are going to take a chance exposing themselves to corruption charges to influence outcomes meanwhile every ref ever employed by the NFL has managed to keep this fact hush hush? There's no logic in this.

Conspiracy theories never come with specifics, only baseless suppositions--a lot of which can be debunked with facts. That's how they are not able to be killed.

Agree. Small chance.

2000 scenarios. All of them screws somebody and inconveniences a bunch of people. Just wish they would rip the band aid off so everyone knows, but they may not know and all these "insiders" don't have a damn clue. They are fed BS or just make it up as they go.

100% false that we know it.
People may believe it, but it's never 100% known.

But if everything is known, you should go put money on the outcomes. You'd be rich!

As long as the game isn't against the Bengals or the Bills (sorry Dolphins), they get to request that game be removed from the schedule. Then going in order of the waiver wire as of this week, you remove that game from both teams schedule as no-contest. Go down the wire bypassing teams who've already had games removed until every team has had 1 game removed from the schedule. Then let the chips fall where they may. 

Again, I don't want to see that happening AT ALL - and I mean NO OTHER TEAM GETS TO REMOVE A GAME FROM THEIR SCHEDULE - but I like to get creative from time to time.

Phil...wft are you doing? This is all convoluted enough without all these wacky scenarios, my man.

In lighter news.. if the Bills game is canceled, we won the division yes?

If the Bills lose to the Pat's, which is possible, and we beat the Ravens we get the 2 seed without having to play the Bills and (physically at least) sort of getting an extra bye.

He said he was just guessing.

uh..no...we have to play the Ravens for it. 

If we had won vs the bills then yes.

Trust me mate if there is anybody who knows about last minute losses ***** up bets it’s me

But the fact is when the game was stopped we were leading and it seems that whatever scenario the league chooses here we are going to get the shitty end of the stick.

Even the media seem to think it’s nailed on that it will be a KC Buf AFC championship game once again written off before it starts.

We would have been at least the 2 seed by the end of Sunday we all know it the only upside to this is if the afc championship is at a neutral venue we won’t have to go to arrowhead but we will still more than likely have to go to Buffalo which isn’t right.
