If KC wins the Bengals can still get the 2-seed. The KC game would be effectively meaningless to the Bengals if it’s a no contest.

Unclear, but hopefully referencing brain activity

If the Bills game is called a tie or a no-contest, then the Bengals only have one thing to play for in this game -- the 2-seed. If they win and the Bills lose, they still take the 2-seed in most iterations based upon the strength of victory tiebreaker (head-to-head is null, conference record is tied, and record against common opponents is tied). That's still pretty valuable if the whole "playoff game at a neutral site" idea is a pipe dream.

I think the probability that the MNF wouldn't have some meaningful impact on the standings is pretty small. Seeds 1-3 all entirely depend upon it, and the AFC North might too. Unfortunately I don't think a single solution exists that is going to be fair to everyone. A tie is terrible for the Bills, lame for the Bengals, and eliminates the Ravens in the division. A no-contest is the same. A win for the Bengals is terrible for the Bills and eliminates the Ravens in the division. Resuming the game at any point both places the players in a ridiculous psychological position and disrupts the entire NFL schedule (likely placing both the Bengals and Bills at a significant scheduling disadvantage). The NFL will have to make an executive decision, and everyone will have to live with it. Every option sucks.

Rock solid leadership at all three levels of the organization. Mike Brown, Zac Taylor, and Joe Burrow

The Bengals are the better team by a mile. The unique mental health situation makes the game very difficult to project though, and I don’t blame them if the game goes poorly. If they are able to perform to their own lofty standard after just six days, then that would be a truly monumental feat.

Detroit again would be very fair for both franchises.

If the game isn’t resumed, and we end up with a Bengals/Bills playoff game, then play it at a neutral site.

Nobody wants that W. It’s a tie. They had better not try to play this game tomorrow.

Let these teams take a tie and end this game

Everything about this stadium screams “postseason dress rehearsal” right now. Boyd is out there fielding punts.

Seems the entire Prince thing really was gamesmanship. Odd. I do feel more comfortable with Adeniji starting though. We’ll see about swing tackle situations.

Burrow’s primetime look just impregnated me.

The tailgate energy is electric two hours out.

The Bills jumped to 2.5 point favorites today. Not sure why. Might just be the money coming in on them already.

Jay Morrison made everyone on Twitter puke by insinuating the Browning elevation was Burrow-related. But no. They did it this time last season too. Gets their guy a game check.

Yep, quite possible. They’d be the worst playoff team, so bring ‘em on.

Joe Burrow can clinch a division tomorrow. Joe Burrow can break out cigars tomorrow. I like our chances.

Pittsburgh blows

Alright. Optimally this gross PIT/BAL game ends in a tie. That's just as good as a BAL loss for us. But yanno.

Broncos teaser TD.

Denver made a huge play that was erased with a terrible OPI call, and then the Chiefs promptly scored. So frustrating.

Whatever happens, I have zero fear of this Chiefs defense.

The game is close due to two Chiefs turnovers. That'll likely have to continue. Denver's defense has looked baffled trying to deal with Mahomes.
