With snow stopped in Western NY (for now), the #Bills are working on getting players out of their homes and to the airport. The plane to Detroit is scheduled for this afternoon. And the hope is it goes off ����

If they were a lock for the 1 seed, it would be hilarious to have to make up the game on WC weekend...... but yeah, they were probably pressing the NFL to make a decision as early as possible, then sat at home for another day? That's bullshit. [Reply]

When the cheating patriots stole the Chiefs' uniforms a few years ago, the announcers were saying that the Chiefs would have had to forfeit if they didn't get them back. If that's grounds for a forfeit, then not showing up for a game should be a forfeit. [Reply]

Hmm, Ok, but still seems odd to be included. My bad.
Edit: No, PFR has the same set of numbers. At least that I could find. [Reply]

I remember that. Yeah there was absolutely an assumption that if the Chiefs didn’t find the equipment that Pats fans stole they would forfeit. No excuses accepted. [Reply]

Exactly, especially considering they knew this snow was coming in advance and had enough time to get out after the NFL decided to move the game. [Reply]

Can’t see how this benefits Buffalo though as they will still have to play the game and it almost certainly will be a short week game. Plus by the time they find room to play, the Browns will have Watson back and will be a much better team. Buffalo isn’t losing to Detroit on Thanksgiving so the extra rest won’t mean much in that game. [Reply]

Would be hilarious if this game is delayed enough for Deshaun Watson to play in it. Buffalo should have traveled the other day. Pretty suspicious that they waited until today. Are they hoping the game will be outright canceled instead of played at a later date? [Reply]
