ChiefsPlanet - Football Bills/ Bengals [cancelled

LIFE ISN'T ****ING FAIR.

And whether we like to admit it or not, bad shit happening to the competition is often a great way to get ahead. Whether it's one of two competing businesses getting hit by lightning and burning to the ground, allowing the surviving business to flourish, or a bunch of players deciding not to continue a game because of a horrific on field injury, or Forrest Gump becoming the king of the Alabama shrimping industry because all the other boats got wiped out in the hurricane, it's all the same. Somebody else's bad luck gives you an opportunity and you run with it.

That's life, kids. Unfair. Cruel. Indifferent to your ****ing feels. The end.

I LOVE YOU.

You can go ahead and believe that your sense of fairness is virtuous, but it's obvious to most on this issue that you are being a Bills apologist (notice I was fair and said apologist instead of ball licker)...

LOL. Virtuous? I don't care about virtue. I hate the Bills (and hate the Bengals more). I don't think the Bills deserve an ounce of advantage because of the situation as it unfolded.

But I also think you're entirely minimizing the situation by just assuming they should've been able to easily play the game on Tuesday or Wednesday. I think it's a different perspective on empathy for where they were at those points, but we've all gone back on that ad nauseum so no reason to rehash.

If the game could've been rescheduled for this weekend and they refused, absolutely on the same page as you.

Lol no one knows how that game plays out

Buffalo was getting hammered and didn’t want anything to do with the Bengals…the Bills did not earn the #1 seed but the Chiefs (with a win Saturday sure will)…

I doubt he actually leads any discussions that involve anything outside sales and marketing. Probably a large part of why the NFL has always been so slow to act, why Goodell rarely (maybe never?) comes out and speaks immediately after any mishap; he's waiting for instructions.

No he isn't.

He's the doofus that got handed the wheel right as DVRs and on-demand television made live sports the last bastion for effective television advertising.

So companies started HURLING money at professional sports. And since the NFL plays so few games, the scarcity of the product drives the demand up and makes them the natural landing spot for the biggest chunks of it.

80% of this board could've presided over the rise of the NFL. CoMo would've ****ed it up. Probably Billay. But even Clay could've managed to not trip over his own feet here.

This was a golden goose - Goodell hasn't done shit.

Roger Goodell and the league office after they announce this new bullshit playoff option and it drives discussion and ratings:

Everybody gets free snacks. But ticket prices are increasing by $50.

Only Fair way... :D :hmmm:

honestly I've come around to thinking that really it shouldn't be a no contest and since both teams decided to stop playing, the game should be considered concluded and the score at the time they stopped the game should count. It was a mutual decision by both teams so only they should be affected by it. Bengals win 7-3. This way no other team gets screwed by something they had no control of, teams know what is coming in the last week and can start or sit whoever, etc. It's not ideal but IMO it's the fairest way to go.

Meh, you could be right. In that regard, I'm just basically repeating what's been said about Goodell by people a lot closer to him and the league than I am. Even my brother said that his understanding was Goodell was pretty much just a salesman.

There's also a ton of random speculation, but these unofficial "the NFL is considering" just makes them look dumb and is a bit frustrating thinking there really was no process in place and they really are flying by the seat of their pants.

I don't get why Cincinnati wouldn't have to come to KC, assuming we win this week and they win out of the other side of the bracket.

Makes zero sense.

5th Annual Mahomes Invitational? :toast:

Some dude from PFT said he expects the league to officially declare the Bills-CIN game a "no-contest" this afternoon. It would be for the best. :D

The outcome of the Cincy/Buffalo game... whether it will be a no contest, a Buffalo loss/forfeit, or replayed at a later date... affects seeding/playoff implications for multiple AFC teams this weekend.

So it's not just "neurotic fans" needing to know... it's the other teams, players, coaches, etc. involved in the playoff chase that need the information as well.
