I think the best way to do it is the 12th or 14th after everyone has played their final week and move everything else back a week, possibly getting rid of the extra week before the Super Bowl if they dont want to move that back. Either that or go to a point system where whoever has the best differential between points scored and points given up through the season gets awarded the win. That way it takes into account the whole team effort that has taken place through out the year.

Not a bad idea.

Seriously. As if someone thought that was an option 

All the booking that has been done for certain dates. Especially playoffs and most importantly the Super Bowl…

Like you said, they’d cancel that game before ever doing anything like moving things back a week 

playoffs would be easier because it would mostly be local fans for each team, not as many traveling and staying in hotels. Getting rid of the extra week before the SB would keep that date where it is currently.

Hopefully this will make the NFL consider an extra bye week in seasons for anything crazy that happens such as this, but I doubt it. Would be nice though.

Yeah like would hotels and airlines allow for full refunds due to this? There’s just sooooooo many things that pushing everything back a week would impact. 

Even playing the game tomorrow… to play again Sunday then again the following week (Saturday - Monday) That’s 3 games in 10-12 days with the 3rd game being their playoff game… that’s jeopardizing players bodies big time

No playoff games have been scheduled and nobody has bought tickets or booked rooms.

And any team that played on a Thursday played 3 games in 11 days.

Yeah so I guess they could play tomorrow then but that ain’t happening 

 

3 games in 11 days is wild to me still

This is absolutely the right move by the NFL.  There's still time to get this game in at a later date, they don't need to make a huge shift yet, they just need to consider contingencies but not take the focus away from the players & coaches that need time to process what happened. That was extremely traumatic and trying to force them to play tonight/tomorrow would have been a huge mistake.

If the players, coaches, and fans honestly feel that a man's health is more important than seeding ... then the obvious call would be to cancel the game and let KC get the #1 seed. Wherever the Bengals and Bills wind up in the Playoffs wouldn't matter. When your next game is up, you go play. And the Bills will play it for their guy.

But if you just have to get it in, and can somehow manage the insanity of game times being changed, the good thing is that there is a week of nothing before the SB. I can't stand that week.

I would honestly cancel next weeks games.

Kansas city 1

Buffalo 2

Cinncy 3

Jaguars 4

Baltimore 5

Chargers 6

Pats 7 based on season point differentials 

Then same scenario in nfc. If anything is tied base it on pt differentials.  It will suck for some teams that still had a chance but none of them will probably be in a mental state to play this week especially teams that are already eliminated. I would push the playoffs back a week as well.

The NFL made the right call because none of us need to worry about how this game will impact seeding... it's possible it won't even matter, too.  There's time before the playoffs and what is important right now is that the focus be on player health (and frankly coach health) right now.  Hopefully, we receive good news soon on Hamlin. And while they aren't by any means more important than him, we also need to consider the health of the players involved. That was a traumatic event.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.

      Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?

      Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
