mattie g Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 OK...reports are now out that it was Gio's mom, Danielle, who called Earnie Stewart, the USSF Sporting Director about the events from 30 years ago. She has confirmed it. It's like a soap opera! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is literally no other viable solution. They have done away with the bye week before, so they can certainly do it now given the circumstances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Regarding the game … let’s be honest … if this player had been a horrible car crash before the game, they would have played. It’s the fact that it happened on the field. Stopping the game was the correct call, but they should have completed the game the next day. The Cubs and Cardinals played a game the day after Darryl Kile was found dead in his hotel room. Not being harsh, it’s just reality. Playing the game would not be jeopardizing the health of this player and the fact is, life doesn’t stop or wait. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the bigger thing is the players being able to play a game immediately not knowing how their teammate is doing. today has been probably the best update so far that he is responding to care well. so i get why they didn't move on it right away, but it being at the end of the season and time running out, NFL doesn't have many options.

H2O Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I was taking to a friend and said the same thing in that if this had happened a day after the game and was an accident on his own personal time they would play Sunday. You could also now have the family say he would want them to play with signs that he’s getting better. That would clear up any concerns over the NFL making them play too soon. I don’t think they will have to make up the Monday game depending on the results this weekend. I still think they could just call it a tie game if needed and both teams would be ok with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also potential huge impacts on the Bills-Chiefs seeding. Bills beat the Chiefs head to head, but by playing one less game(if they both win their final game), Chiefs have the better win % and Bills would have to travel to KC for a playoff game. That just isn't right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdhokie Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 At this point, play the game. I get suspending the game at the time, but it was a "getting struck by lightning" random occurrence. Don't really care what it does to the Ravens chances but they need to make the Bills/Chiefs seeding legit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could not have happened at a worse time in the season. The only option I see is pushing all the playoffs back a week which would eliminate the 2 week break in between championship games and Super Bowl....but the NFL loves their media week so I dont know. This also would potentially create an unfair advantage as all playoff teams would have a week off except Bills-Bengals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Current murmuring is about them adding an 8th playoff team in each conference so no teams get the benefit of a bye. Figures Steelers would find a way to worm into things... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 As for how things stand now, as the board's resident bengals fan, bengals and ravens definitely got short end of a stick in a very unfortunate situation - but it is what it is. Bengals were playing for the 2 seed if they had beaten bills, and they had a definite chance to find a way to a win. As it stands, likely locked into the 3. Ravens lose all chance at playing for division if bengals/bills is declared a no contest. But making bengals/bills play during usual wildcard weekend while every other AFC playoff team rests up is a pretty lousy suggestion too. Lots of bad options. It's gonna blow for Bengals if they get past ravens in a playoff game to have to go to Buffalo in next round when they were playing for right to a second playoff home game of their own. But, in the end, most everyone will be unhappy. Except for KC, which gets the 1 seed despite having lost to both Buffalo and Cincinnati. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, as a Ravens fan, I honestly dont care a lot though because the way they have been playing on offense and likely still no Lamar Jackson, they are losing 1st round regardless unless the defense can somehow play lights out which I doubt in playoff football.
