It's the fact that CIN had all the momentum when the incident happened. They had a sweet drive, go up 7. They had a big stop, BUF gets three. The offense was driving again and bam... game suspended. CIN was red hot.

I think CIN should get the W but yes, it's all the same for KC.

One thing is for certain, BUF doesn't get the W.

Well, it was said about a million times tonight that the football stuff doesn’t matter. If teams don’t feel they can play in the next two days then outright canceling the game seems like the right approach. It obviously has an impact that ripples across the NFL but there aren’t a lot of options.

It was the first quarter. Both teams had very good opening drives. Who knows how the rest of the game would turn out.

Please, hats off the the BUF players who chose to stay with their teammate. In my opinion, they all shoulda stayed.

Florio just said every single teammate (besides the obvious) is now coming back to Buffalo.

Is what it is.

Yeah there is no avoiding this having an impact on fairness. Obviously it's a trivial matter compared to this man's life. Even if they did play again, whichever team loses will wonder if that's how it would have played out originally. Cincy will think we were rolling, Buffalo will think how can we expect to play well after that. Both fair points.

Both meaningless in light of what matters, but still. As far as the strandings go, we shall never know what would have happened.

Either way let's hope Hamlin is alive and able to watch the playoffs like the rest of us.

I think it should be canceled.

Yeah Cincy was looking good but Buf is a good team. We have seen comebacks happen. Cincy could have ended up with 3. Being down 7 with 3 quarters to go and a great offense is hardly difficult. Buf looked great on their first drive.

Probably have Josh play Joe in Madden to decide the outcome

Stay where? You want 52 players and multiple coaches to just sit in the hospital waiting room? They are all in shock. Give them a break.

If the game doesn't resume under any circumstance then 3-7 ither becomes the final score or it's a tie/cancellation.

They got their break when the league didn't forfeit both teams. Be happy.

Damn you’re cold. I’m a huge Chiefs fan fyi. Just not sure what the answer here is. I don’t blame them for going home.
