Maybe they did. I’m just guessing they abstained from voting on it.

I don't think that's right.

Prior to 'all the changes', had the Ravens won on Sunday they'd have still ben seeded behind the Bengals by a half game due to having the same number of wins as Cincy and 1 more loss.

So the Bengals would've still held the 3 seed with the Bills the 2 and the Chiefs the 1.

The Chiefs still wouldn't have had to face the Bengals or Bills until the AFCCG.

How could the Ravens have put themselves ahead of Cincy unless Cincy had LOST to Buffalo? And had Cincy lost to Buffalo, KC would've ended up in the 2 slot and likely STILL had the Ravens instead of the Bills in the Divisional round.

Y'all making stuff up to feel better about this now?

They had to rebuild the city first IMO.

Right, this assumes the Cinci-Bills game wasn’t a no contest.

This “all” the changes”. And not just “the rule change”.

Edit: but then if the Bengals lost to the Bills then KC is #2 and …. nevermind. The tweet is wrong. Apologies for the error.

So give me your best, "the NFL is rigged and this is how they're going to handle this" thought

Pest for commish!!!

so is your entire season

I'm sure Clark handled this with much grace, but if it were me. I would have said something like, why does my team have to play more games than Cincinnati and Buffalo? An unbalanced schedule (for whatever reason) is inherently not fair. So with that in mind we don't want to play our game vs the Raiders, who are out of the playoff race anyway, and if Buffalo wins, then great they can be the one seed and we will play the AFC championship game at a neutral field.

Additionally. You could have just not had the AFC teams play week 18 games and have the Bills and Bengals play it on Saturday. The fact that both of those teams don't have to play the most difficult game on their schedule is unfair.

And I know, shut up and take it, which is what we are doing, because we get the bye and have to win a game to get to our 5th AFC Championship game in a row. I guess we will manage.

It's pretty sad how much the NFL doesn't even care about it's own rule book.

Wait, why are we rooting for the Patriots? Much rather they lose and the Dolphins win so it'll be Dolphins v Bills with that depleted secondary getting firebombed

So Chiefs and Bengals abstained. I wonder if the Bills were so honorable.

Because a Bills loss means a Arrowhead AFCCG rather than a neutral site.

All they have to do is lose to NE and we don't have to deal with it.
