NFL just announced that the Bills Bengals game will not be resumed this week. There are no changes to the week 18 schedule at this time.

I was recently looking into CPR classes because of the baby, so I’ll definitely be following up on that now. 

Kind of an easy but also perishable skill set.  I think refresher courses lasting less than an hour go a long way.  Even just reviewing the material solo is probably sufficient if you're doing it because you want to and not because you have to.

His name is Eric Deters, he is from NKY and he is a very polarizing figure.  He has done a lot of good in his life and frankly a lot of bad and this is one of those bad things.  You can google him but beyond that he is involved in something that is prohibited by our Terms of Service. 

One of my Facebook Friends just shared this take:

I'm certain the League will wait to see Week 18 results... KC wins Saturday, CIN wins Sunday (time??) this game will not be made up. If the opposite happens, they'll have to play this one to determine #1 seed and AFCN champ.

I think this probably makes the most sense. Rather than disrupting week 18 which has been scheduled for a long time, it would be easier to just push the playoffs back IF necessary. It would put the losing team at a bit of a competitive disadvantage because everyone else would have a bye week prior to the start of the playoffs, but there really isn't an option that doesn't negatively affect at least someone. This way does the least amount of damage.

Struggling to come up with anything good he has done.  I did see him get his butt kicked, I guess that was good.

Very well said. He's obviously taking a very calculated risk here. If he's right, he gets to shout from the rafters about how great he is, and how he was the only one telling the truth. If he's wrong, well it really won't affect how most people feel about him. Those that love him still will, and those that don't, still won't. It's a really slimy play.

I think it makes sense too.  Play the games this week and see what happens and then if the Bills and Bengals have to play to make the system whole, let them play the following week and push the playoffs back one week and eliminate the extra week before the Super Bowl like bug suggested.  Far from perfect but all things considered it sounds like the best option.

I can't see canceling anymore games, I think that makes a bad situation for the NFL worse and it would mean the Bills and Bengals would have played 15 total games and the rest of the NFL 16 games.

Close.

I am not saying I know but how did you come up with that?

It's either a tie or not factored into standings. Just my first thought. The decision has an impact on seeding, home field advantage, first round opponents or byes, right??

He isn't right, and can't be right. Unless Damar Hamlin died last night, there is no right for Deters.
