bills have a one game better AFC record than the bengals. so yeah, if this is a tie/draw, bills have nothing to play for IF the chiefs win saturday night..

Agreed. Negative reactions are obviously due to preconceived opinions of Bayless. There was little, if anything, wrong with his tweet.
He was saying ……. GAME WAS VERY IMPORTANT UNTIL IT WASNT. Sharpe is an asshat
No. It’s evident with next week being the final week there is no time to make up the game. A tie should have been declared last night. They are both in the playoffs so let the chips fall where they may.
yeah, mark it a tie for both i guess. pretty much gives the chiefs home field and hurts the ravens (which is fine with me) but it's not the end of the world.
it does hurt us with the bills really having nothing to play for in last week and they sit Josh Allen but i think they still will win regardless, with them wanting to play for Hamlin.
A tie being declared is pretty lame, if they don't want to make it up, just play this coming weekend and let those 2 teams finish with only 16 games. they could resume the game next Thursday, then have those teams' playoff games be the following Tuesday or Wednesday.
Yeah. That’s the thing. I can’t stand the guy but he goes on the show today and during his monologue he said three times that he hopes he doesn’t offend anyone. Group think is killing america.
im sure they'll go after goodell and the nfl too for not immediately cancelling the game even though they did cancel the game..
People just want a villain and when there isnt one, they create one..
Weak ass modern, over sensitive snowflake people at this point will be offended if they don't cancel the season

cancel the bills season? OK, if that's what they want. the bills players dont want to play then dont play, and the rest of the nfl will go on and play out the season..
Used to be, people used to be able to suck it up and get back to work.
Sad as it is, what happened to Hamlin was a fluke. There are dozens of hits like that every quarter of every game, this one happened to have a perfect storm effect and he ended up with cardiac arrest. 99.9% of tackles just like that this year across all levels of football resulted in no adverse effects.
Now we will have all this hand wringing. What can we do? We need to make the game safer. News flash! YOU CAN'T!!! If you want to take hits like the one last night out of the game, just ban the sport or make it flag football.
my older brother told me years ago that when i die, he's only take a 1/2 day for the funeral. i told him i'd take the whole day.... then go golfing..
Perhaps but people also had some tact and sort of knew when to show some respect when something terrible happened. A "moment of silence" is a bit more meaningful in that context. Worrying about playoff implications or how to sort out schedules isn't anywhere near an immediate concern in that moment. What is the point of even bringing it up? For Bayless, it was a setup for a soundbite. Instead he ended up looking like a jerk.
But he wasn’t being a jerk that was an ignorant less intelligent take of what he said
I thought the issue was the timing. He posted it when Damar was still in the ambulance before word got out that there was a pulse he was still alive.
If I saw it right Revis even gave him a WTF on that take.

Perception is everything. It's like everyone taking a run at the PSU guy that mentioned the Rose Bowl in his post showing concern. Sort of an unnecessary fact that didn't mean any harm but some guys got all twisted up over it. Bayless was setting up his show by mentioning it. If the wind blows a little differently and Hamlin walks out of the hospital last night, he has a nice set up for his show this morning.
Please ... He's is and always was an effin bastard.
You are NOTHING and nobody cares about your self absorbed senior citizen whining.
I was in Dallas for the 1983 Cotton Bowl game. Skip Bayless was a reporter for the Dallas Morning News. He was covering the game when I came upon an article where he mocked Pitt. It was probably the first unprofessional article from a sportswriter I ever read.
He said Pitt was the “pits” for dedicating the Cotton Bowl game to a drunken football player ( Todd Becker) that died while climbing out of a window trying not to get caught breaking curfew…
Nice…
He has a history of being an insensitive stooge…He should’ve been punched in the mouth years ago…

i knew a D1 football player who was sneaking back into a hotel room and fell off the 3rd story balcony, again, after curfew. this was down in florida for a bowl game. Not a pitt guy btw. he lived but hurt his back and couldnt play in the bowl game.
How can you award a tie to a team that was losing when the game ended? It should either be a no contest or a Bengal victory.
You're joking right? Where you born yesterday? Any time before the last 2-3 years, the game would have restarted, and they would have been talking about the playoffs and schedule before the ambulance reached the hospital.
Agreed, WE ARE EQUAL, both NOTHING, difference being that you think you are some sort of authority figure who should advise the admin as to who to ban, when in reality, YOU ARE A BIG NOBODY.
You are such a god dang hypocrite. Every post you write questions why anyone would question what you say and do. You are the snowflakiest snowflake on this board. But I see that a lot with entitles senior citizens a whole think the world revolves around them and their Shite doesn’t stink. They are completely self absorbed and unaware that their accusations of others are mirror reflections of who they actually are.
You are an entitled old loser who has ZERO to offer anyone.
But I've never started a thread on a message board begging the admin to ban someone because I didn't like what he said, that was you snowflake. This whole argument started because YOU were HURT by what a poster on a message board said.
Not hurt. Embarrassed that SMF represents the university with his continuing stupidity. So if I fire someone who works for me because they are incredibly incompetent at I hurt.
Sorry grandpa. You just think your world view is the only world view and if anyone questions you they are just completely wrong and you continue to be right in spite of all evidence that you absolutely know ZERO.
is it me or is duneaux harm just come off as a real d*ckwad? I mean, we all have our bad moments but he started a thread crying about something, then every post, just looks worse and worse..
maybe he's a nice guy in real life but damned if he doesnt just come off as more of a clown with every post in this abortion of a thread.

There were a lot of unprecedented situations regarding the Hamlin case that differentiates it from other games with bad injuries. It was more shocking overall, mostly in the randomness of it. Usually a really bad injury comes from a purposeful/dirty hit (Burfict, Tatum) or even an unfortunate technique on a tackle (ie Shazier). And even with a spinal injury, the player is typically not at threat to die right there on the field in front of everyone !
This was a very normal play, one that these players make literally every down, yet had freakishly had the most horrific potential outcome (DH essentially died twice on the field). Players, heck everyone involved, were understandably affected differently by this than they’d be by something even as terrible (but not life threatening) such as, say, Alex Smith’s injury.
Plus, yes, today is a different time than the hardtack 40s, 50s, etc. Maybe in those eras you had guys come close to dying on the field, and the game would immediately resume. In fact it’s clear the NFL anticipated it should as well, given the infamous “5 minute warning” that was issued to the teams. If DH had “only” a head or back injury (such as Dane Jackson had earlier this season) and had given the proverbial “thumbs up” while being carted off, that likely is what would happen, too. But it became clear immediately that this was different and the same old wasn’t going to cut it.

But again, YOU ARE NOBODY, your world view also neans NOTHING here and you have no say at all in who represents the University or how they represent it, we don't work for you sonny BOY, so your word or opinion means NOTHING.
Shannon Sharpe went way off the rails today with Skip Bayless. These people are all clowns. Skip, Shannon, all of them.
There was no "5 minute warning" given to the teams. Apparently, the NFL contact with ESPN was different than the NFL contact with the teams.
Even if there was a 5-minute warning, so what? I've seen football games with unconscious guys carted off the field in an ambulance before college and pro, and the game resumed as soon as the ambulance was gone. so, what happened here, the game being cancelled was the exception, something different, not the rule.
