I see people on other websites saying they want a tie. What do you all think?

The Bengals are already division champs after the Ravens loss to Pittsburgh, correct?

If the game were tied when it was stopped, sure. A tie is a non-starter.

I guess I was looking for more optimism on his behalf. Like a shred of good news. Maybe I over analyzed it. I remain hopeful for his health and recovery.

It was 7-3 just over one possession into the game. Not like they were deep into the second half

I don’t think that would’ve been possible after buffalo flew home last night. And I’m sure many wanted to be with their families after the shite they just witnessed

But those players will publicly complain when the Chiefs get a free 1 seed this weekend ...

No idea how NFL will work this one out. Those saying to just move the playoffs back a week don’t understand how many moving parts that involves. It’s easy to say but the logistics of it are a nightmare.

I also want to selfishly add that the game last night was going to be Chiefs/Rams MNF epic.

Calm down. There is no immediate answer to his condition. It will take a few days of tests to monitor brain activity and other factors to be able to assess his prognosis. They literally probably don't know anymore now than they did 12 hours ago.

Logistically sure. I guess the biggest thing about that is if the guys would actually play. They seemed pretty shook. Also it’s not like they’re playing tennis or golf, or even baseball. NFL football likely not a game where you want some guys to be playing half heartedly and some going full speed.

There’s no guarantee that KC will beat the raiders. They struggled to beat Denver at kc.
If KC loses then the bills get the number one seed if the bengals bills game isn’t resumed.

Ending this game in a tie when it was not tied at the time the game was suspended doesn't sound like a great idea to me. The NFL is going to have to make a decision at some point, but I fear they're going to kick the can down the road and hope that playoff seeding falls into place this weekend.

If the Bills end up with one less game than the Chiefs but same number of losses the Bills should get home field due to head to head win. Cincinnati would get 3 seed with fewer losses than Ravens. Ravens had chances to win games and didn’t so it is on them.
I don’t see how the game could be replayed. Players this late in the season need the time to recover.
They could keep the score. As in overtime both teams has possessions and 1 team scored more than the other.

Haha, no. The whole reason the Bills got the one Seed was because we lost to the Bengals. If we had to play them, so does Buffalo

Agree with your post, but why does everyone overuse this word? It's literally out of control.

Ha Ha no the reason is because you lost to Buffalo on your home field. KC had a chance and lost it. On to the next
