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.
What is the ****ing hurry?

Appease neurotic fans that can’t handle not knowing right away?

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.

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.
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.

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.

Its because they bow down to the pressure of the loser Twitter mob.

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.

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.
Easily? No one ever said easily, of course it wouldn't have been easy to play on Tuesday or Wednesday, but playing on Wednesday or Sunday is really no different. He didn't die on the field. The reports yesterday morning, is he was improving, and they most likely had more information than we had Tuesday morning. Yes it wouldn't have been easy, but it would have been fair.

VAChief 01-05-2023 11:38 AM
It makes me wonder if they are just waiting and hoping the Bills win and the Chiefs and Bengals lose making it easier to just cancel the Bills/Bengals game from the schedule. Maybe a lower tier WC possible team gets screwed, but none of the 1 seeds are affected.

They (NFL) need to come to some conclusion about this before Kickoff on Saturday...

The opposite is far more likely to happen.

My guess that they do something above and play all Buffalo, KC and Cincy games between each other at a a neutral site Give each team half the tickets to sell to their fans.

Chiefs probably get the bye if they beat the Raiders. End up with a AFC Championship game in Indy.

comochiefsfan 01-05-2023 11:46 AM
Lotta people on Twitter saying the Chiefs and Bengals should play at a neutral site as well if they meet in the playoffs.

Assuming we beat the Raiders on Saturday, that makes zero sense considering they wouldn't have had a chance to jump us in the standings regardless.

FloridaMan88 01-05-2023 11:47 AM
Watch them put the AFC Championship Game in Pittsburgh (assuming the Steelers don't make the playoffs/advance to the AFC Championship Game), which is Hamlin's hometown so they can make a big sympathy party out of it.

Sassy Squatch 01-05-2023 11:47 AM
Why the **** would the Bengals be relevant in this discussion? They weren't playing for the 1 seed and if we win on Saturday they shouldn't factor in, at all.

Yeah, in the Bengals had a two TD lead with about five minutes left we could be comfortable saying they would win. Not midway through the 1st quarter.

The NFL opens Pandora's box if they do anything but just let the Chiefs keep the one seed they already earned.

They're gonna have 3 or 4 more fanbases begging for a handout.

There have been a lot of absurd ideas thrown out there. Even if KC won the Colts game, you would still see these morons coming up with the same ideas.

wbbonneriii 01-05-2023 11:49 AM
How about you just do this...

Keep the game suspended and if the Chiefs win they get the #1 seed with the Bills #2 and Bengals #3 but if the Bills / Bengals meet in the divisional round the Bills must travel to the Bengals for that game or at a neutral site (to provide the Bengals the home field game again since this game was cancelled).

TambaBerry 01-05-2023 11:50 AM
im sorry, but thats stupid. The Bills didn't play their game against the Bengals. One of our losses was to the Bengals. It could have been one of the Bills losses. Bills need to suck it up and accept the 2 seed and feel lucky the Bengals didn't jump them and drop them to the 3 seed. None of this sharing the one seed crap.

Wouldn't that be exactly a situation where compromise would make sense? It wasn't a 0% chance, right? If the Chiefs are given the option, they should OBVIOUSLY take the bye week as that gives them an advantage on par with the probablistic advantage they had when the game was postponed.

Phrased another way...
Would you prefer:
1/ allowing the Bengals/Bills game to be resumed and then determing seedings based on that?
OR
2/ being given the 1 seed with a bye but have the AFCCG played in Buffalo?

Probabalistically speaking, I think they put us in a similar place. And that's why it's a relatively fair compromise option.
But why should KC who did nothing wrong be expected to compromise?

Plus...can we talk about the "bye" aspect of this? Buffalo & Cincy pretty much got a bye week already out of this situation. Buffalo is dodging a loss in Cincy, which seemed to be more than 50% chance of happening based on what we saw Monday evening. KC is having to play a full 17 game schedule, including a full game in Cincy. If KC chooses to have the Playoff bye week, they should not be forced to go on the road. Neutral site is the more fair scenario.

Terrible idea. It de-incentivizes getting the #1 seed because you only get one of the two benefits. The NFL went away from the top 2 getting a bye because they wanted this competition up till the last week. As such the #1 seed gets all they rightfully earned, not split it with the #2 seed.

Exactly.

Calling this a no-contest could well be letting the Bills off easy. The Bengals aren't some sorry ass also-ran. They beat us. They were beating the Bills and looking good doing it. They represented the AFC in last season's Super Bowl.

And the Bills didn't play 'em. That matters.

Because there's a REALLY good chance that the Bills would've ended up a 3 seed when all was said and done Monday night.

If you add an extra team for the AFC playoffs, the NFC teams around 8th place would have a rightful argument to also be added to the NFC playoffs.

And that is the fair approach. If we are stealing bye weeks from the #1 seed in the AFC, why should the NFC's #1 team have a bye week? Put everyone on a level playing field. I'm good with a 8-team playoff for both conferences.

Assuming we win, they still could have been a 2 seed and the Bills the 3 seed with the win on Monday. In fairness they were leading and looking pretty sharp. Which gives them a second round home field advantage.

comochiefsfan 01-05-2023 12:00 PM
I honestly don't hate the 8 team playoff out of all the ideas because that's where we're headed eventually anyway once the 18th game is added.

tweets have slowly moved from:

bengals/bills not being played this week

bengals/bills may not be played at all

bengals/bills will not be played

the other stuff is just fluff

this is all moving positively in the chiefs direction

That doesn't make any sense. How does that help anything?


The Bills and Bengals didn't play so they are going to add an 8th team to the playoffs? Why? WTF?

I like it in future years. It is pretty stupid to give just one team a bye. But this year the rues were set at the start of the season. Looks dumb to change them now and put a 8th team in.

Hammock Parties 01-05-2023 12:03 PM
the league creates more problems than it solves by ****ing with the playoff format

the simplest solution for them is to just let the chiefs keep the one seed they earned and call it a day

They were playing for the one seed. They had a shot at the one seed by winning out and the Chiefs losing to the Raiders.

it wasn't stupid when it created multiple dynasties

you want a dynasty? KEEP THE FORMAT AS IT IS.

even better, get rid of the 7th stupid team in the playoffs

This is the obvious answer. But the Bills had an injury! A player got hurt playing football! We have to give them help because they can no longer compete on a fair playing field.

Which is gone if we win. Need to focus on winning.

Spott 01-05-2023 12:05 PM
So the Bills will still get the 1 seed if they lose to NE. I’m guessing they’ll get to advance to the Super Bowl even if they lose every game.

ROYC75 01-05-2023 12:06 PM
Give the Bills & Bengals a tie! Leave #1's with home field and add an 8th team to both conferences!

Everybody plays as seeded!

I liked the format giving 2 teams a bye. I don't like the one team gets that advantage.

FringeNC 01-05-2023 12:07 PM
You know the worst part of this? Listening to the media people suck off the NFL leadership for whatever batshit crazy solution they come up with.

This is likely what will occur. They're simply milking an opportunity as long as possible before rendering a verdict. Even non-football peeps have been talking non-stop about the Hamlin injury; the NFL is receiving a massive amount of free publicity. It's still trending positively, but once the curve points to a decline in sentiment, they'll make the announcement.

The problem I have with the single bye is that's it's REALLY schedule determinant.

That said, we lost to the Bills at home AND the Bengals. So I couldn't have really complained about not getting a bye this year. You lose to BOTH the teams chasing you and what argument do you really have other than sour grapes?

As a general rule, though, I hate the change to 1 bye week. It really should be 6 playoff teams and 2 byes. But they didn't ask me.

I actually think everything is setting up for the Chiefs to have the 1 seed by winning percentage if they beat the Raiders. But it seems like it's not going to be a clean 1 seed experience. Regardless of how it ends up, I think we can all agree that the bye is the most important aspect of it, so hopefully they don't choose this no-bye-add-a-team option as that'll be the worst of these ideas for us.

And the Colts game. That's the game KC really messed up.

Bills had already lost another corner and their last decent coverage safety.

They were about to get destroyed.

Which is why I think the NFL is kicking around ideas but ay not announce anything until Sunday night. Maybe some of the games resolve their problems.

smithandrew051 01-05-2023 12:11 PM
Have each team’s fan base create a thread on their respective message boards. Most posts by Sunday at 5 pm decides seeding.

We got this.

MahomesMagic 01-05-2023 12:11 PM
I'm fine with giving Buffalo a get out of KC if they make it to the AFC Championship card.

I am not fine with Cincinnati also getting that since they never could catch us if we win this Saturday.

Nothing should EVER be given in sports. You earn it.

I'm not fine with letting Buffalo off the hook when it appeared they were on their way to losing in Cincy. If you want to take away home field advantage from KC, it has to be a neutral site.

Why should Buffalo get home field advantage in this situation? Very strong possibility they were going to lose the other night. Both of those teams already dodged 85% of the risk of an injured roster by only playing 15% of the game the other night. Meanwhile KC and every other team has to play a full 17 game schedule.

Of course I would rather not but if the league wants to give Buffalo a get out card I could understand it.

But Cincinnati could never catch our record if we win this Saturday so they should not get a neutral field AFC Championship.

Imon Yourside 01-05-2023 12:16 PM
No way I would give up HFA to the team that was headed for an L and wouldn't take a forfeit even though that's the rules.

Renegade 01-05-2023 12:16 PM
Just make it a 12 team playoff for each conference. Each of the 4 division winners get a bye week 1.

Next 8 teams play for the right to play division winners in week 2.

Nobody's feelings will be hurt then.

RaidersOftheCellar 01-05-2023 12:17 PM
Why the hell would you give Buffalo HFA? They didn't own it before the game started, and they weren't exactly on their way to earning it.
