He got up unsteady. Then he “took a step” BACKWARD and fell right back on his butt and back.

That hit undercut by the Bengal did something awful.

Didn’t look like spinal trauma to me. He would not have moved at all after the hit if that were the case.

Agreed but I did not see chest hit. Maybe, but it looked like the Bengal helmet went into the Bill’s chin, and up.

One of the commentators in NY ( retired player) said they shouldn’t go out again until they know he is not dead. Actually said dead.

That’s it right there. They are not going to play until they know their teammate is going to be ok.

Wonder if they will cancel the games this week. Hard to figure how they get this game back in with AFC leader being determined by game results.

NFL Statement:

“ CINCINNATI — The game between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals that was suspended Monday night after safety Damar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest will not be resumed this week, the NFL announced Tuesday.

The NFL said in a statement that commissioner Roger Goodell informed the teams that the game would not be resumed this week after consulting with both teams and NFLPA leadership. The league, however, has made no decision on resuming the game at a later date, and the Week 18 schedule remains on as scheduled.”

Assuming the game isn’t made up, and the Chiefs, Bills and Bengals all win their final game, this would be their records.

Buffalo 13-3
Kansas City 14-3
Cincinnati 12-4

Even though Kansas City, has the higher percentage, both they and the Bills have 3 losses, plus the Bills beat KC head-to-head. So Buffalo should get the #1 seed.

If the Chiefs lose their final game, they would be 13-4, while if Cincinnati would be 12-4 if they win. Again, the two teams are tied in losses, but Cincinnati also beat the Chiefs, head-to-head, so Cincinnati should get the 2nd seed if the two teams are tied in the loss column.

What’s up with Yahoo? they’re not listing the Saturday teams and give Wednesday 12/31/22 @ 4:00 pm for each game. Someone’s asleep at the switch.

I saw that earlier, the format of the whole page was messed up then. It looks better now, maybe they’re working on it today, idk.

Somehow going over my wk17 picks Yahoo had me as 12 - 3 not 11 and 4 I miss imputed the Pit / Bal pick, I have no idea what I was thinking but the FR picks, my hand written notes and the spreadsheet rule, I picked Ravens and I drop back 1 Win behind you and Poser as I posted in the table earlier.

Also I discovered today that an extra step involving an extra sheet (that I accidentally skipped) [copy paste special, then copy paste in FR] is unnecessary in Open Office. Excel was the fussy program. The switch to Apache Open Office has always been refreshing, I should of done it sooner.

The Bills vs Cincy game could lose its meaning by end of play Sunday

Chiefs wins, bills lose ... Chiefs Are #1.
Cincy win ... They clinch division and tie Buff for #2 & #3 seeds.

They won’t play a makeup game just to break a 2-3 tie.
