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.

      Canalas’ play calling next week

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Who believes after Rico went off that Dave will go back to Chuba, go very pass happy again, run Chuba 7 times, and give Rico 5 carries?   he has a weird obsession with wanting to pass it over and over with Bryce.

      I never once said I believed in Sam. Only that he’s proof that the Jets and Panthers are bad organizations. You spent all that time on me. I’m flattered.

      Story of the year. Get down massively to Arizona, look like your first NFL game to throwing for more than 300 yards and getting the team to within 40 yards of a come back win. Get down 17-0 to Miami, execute the offense to outscore the Dolphins 27-7 the rest of the way. Defeat the Falcons 30-0 throwing for like 150 yards. Personally, I think it would be great to have retained Darnold. Darnold in this scheme with Canales would instantly make this team a contender for the NFC South. However that didn't happen.  I don't know what you do because when they run game gets shut down, and it will get shut down, you have to depend on Bryce to play efficiently. On one third down ball to someone (I forget who), when he was rolling out and made that throw close to the sideline to convert, the TV people would talking about how special that was. What I saw was another receiver streaking all alone 45 yards downfield, with about 5 yards of separation. Even while rolling out, an average QB is able to deliver that ball, signed, and sealed for a touchdown. Bryce's lack of deep ball ability is the achilles heel to this offense and it's something that can't be fixed.  I would love to be able to draft Carson Beck. I think he took a lot of crap at UGA which now seems unwarranted. Looking at how inefficient their offense is now compared to how it was with Beck at QB, and now how he has gone into the system Cam Ward was in and outperformed him massively in just pure execution and efficiency, along with the physical traits, tells me he will be a Top 3 pick. We won't have a Top 3 pick though. So what do we do? I have no idea. Canales is too good of an offensive coach for us to get a Top 3 pick and Bryce is inconsistent enough to get us a Top 10 pick. So absent finding a guy like Nix with tons of experience and good enough measurables, which requires great evaluations, I just think we are stuck.
