So now it look like the bills might of purposely wanted to cancel the game cuz it would benefited them and fcuk the Bengals. Cincinnati was told the game would resume in 10 mins. Or thought be played another day. But the very next day the whole team flew back home. So much for caring about their team mate.

How would the Bills know that the NFL and the NFL owners would make decisions that would benefit them and f*ck the Bengals? At the time, the Bills were the team that stood to lose the most by NOT playing the game.

The Bengals could have secured the No. 1 or No. 2 by beating the Bills. Now, their best-case scenario is No. 2, if they beat the Ravens and if the Bills lose to the Patriots

The Bengals could have been the #6 seed if they lost to the Bills then the Ravens. Removing this game immediately clinched the #3 seed for them, as a worst case scenario. Nothing about this scenario was screwing over the Bengals UNTIL the NFL manufactured a bunch of unprecedented scenarios, with no basis for doing so.
Are you saying the Bills somehow knew the NFL would (a) rule that the Bills/Bengals game would not be rescheduled, and (b) that the NFL would introduce new rules to change the playoff seedings or homefield advantage for certain teams? Is that part of the conspiracy?
Just curious to understand the logic...

But not guaranteed a home playoff game unless they beat the Ravens today.. unfair for sure.. life's not fair. When it comes down to it I am a huge Bengals fan it doesn't matter. KC is 0-3 against Burrow and I saw enough against Buffalo to know they can play with them. It's all about who is the healthiest, but I will take Burrow over any other QB.

@nikon Have you lost your mind? Their team mate was seconds away from death. That game was never going to continue . Stupid post
Which makes the Bills' flight back to Buffalo the next day all the more puzzling. If his Bills' teammates were so concerned about his well being, then why wouldn't they hold round the clock vigils at the hospital for him until danger had passed?
Also, why fly back to Buffalo if you are uncertain about whether or not the league office will reschedule the game later in the week? (You state it was never going to continue/how would you know that then/nobody knew that including you?) Unless they figured they had the NFL over a barrel and knew it would be a bad optic if the Comish made the game go on.
What the Bills also knew was that they were getting their a$$es spanked on the field and with the injury to Hamlin, that made the second DB to go down in the game. Granted it was in the first quarter with 5 minutes left but the score was 7-3, but the Bengals were driving rather easily downfield threatening to add to their total, exposing that soft zone that the Bills play. Like other passing teams (Minnesota, Detroit, and Miami all passing teams) had done before them. However unlike those teams, Cincy has a good D.
Josh Allen also hyper-extended his knee so that would have impacted his ability to scramble (a big part of the Bills' offense).
Cincy head coach and players were accommodating to the Bills on Monday night but not so the owner of the Bills' team on Friday, when it came time to vote on these new rules which impacted the Bengals in a negative way. Had the Bills lost to the Bengals, they could have lost not only their 1 seed but also the 2 seed to the Bengals. Had that happened, it would have saved the Bengals from a trip to the NFL's Siberia in January, add in strong winds and the Bengals air attack would have been grounded and will be now with the new rules. The 2 and 3 seeds play each other so the likelihood of this happening is almost certain.
Yeah, the Bengals got the 3 seed but not even home-field is guaranteed. If it was guaranteed then the Bengals could rest players or would have the option to, but even that was taken away from them. By a win today, they would get home-field but of course what they lost was the chance to get the #2 seed which they coveted.
If this happens again to the Bengals, I would not be expecting them ever to agree to show solidarity as the Comish used it for his own devious reasons and was not concerned about treating Cincy fairly. The Bills' owner had no interest in being fair to the Bengals either. With the NFL being run by clowns, we can expect clownish things, and yes I was expecting it.

His statement is factual, yours is from the planet starting with a U. This reality was prior to the KC win over LV of course.

If the bills flight back home would be considered next day it was around midnight..... just 2 hours after Hamlin was in the hospital. They loaded up and left, Diggs was seen @ the hospital. No others were mentioned. I'm not saying Buffalo knew the game wasn't going to be played, just stating facts. And Taylor Bengals coach is either covering up for bill's coach or for NFL because the only conversation he told media about was McDermott said he should be @ the hospital with Damar. Instead they flew straight back to Buffalo and Taylor went to the hospital
