Idk what the NFL will do but I'd almost guarantee the Bills won't have to forfeit. I see no way the NFL "adds insult to tragedy" by giving the Bills a loss in the event this game isn't played. If anything I would think they would use 2020 protocols and base things on winning percentage if teams didn't play the same number of games. I think they would simply treat this game as if it never happened and the Bills/Bengals will play just 16 games.

We do know it won't be played this week, and it shouldn't. Why make the Bills/Bengals play tomorrow then have them turn around and play Sunday? It would already be an increased injury risk with the short turnaround, then add in the mental fog those players will be dealing with and it's a recipe for more disaster.

I'm the first one to criticize the NFL when they screw up but so far they are handling this well.

Completely agreed. NFL has done is a good job so far with this situation.

Option 2 is the most attractive to me but I assume the league goes with Option 1

If they were my Raiders, Eric Bieniemy would be the head coach. Sorry they **** and didn't help your team.

Can’t say I’m looking forward to Bills - Dolphins part 3

Bills will easily beat the Dolphins. I doubt Tua plays and I wouldn't be scared of Bridgewater or Thompson. As long as Josh Allen doesn't try to do too much and doesn't turn the ball over, Bills should be fine next week.

I feel the same about Baltimore/Cincinnati. I doubt Lamar plays, but even if he does, as long as Burrow doesn't play stupid Bengals should win.
