Appears they are not going to do that.

9-7 (56.3%)
8-6-1 (57.1%)


Which makes the playoffs?

lol no ****ing joke, can’t wait to see a coach signal for one of his players to act real ****ed up, and another signal for his team mates to start crying.

Fair is fair right?

The easy way out was to award a ****ing TIE.

Morans.


Regardless of what happens, a SuperBowl champion should be able to win games no matter the scenario.

Which is a bunch crap

on another note, if the Chiefs would have handled business vs the ****ing COLTS, or even the Bengals/Bills games, this wouldn't even be an ordeal for them.

That’s a good point.

It does. So does a KC loss to the Raiders...:hmmm:

This is true but nevertheless, the Chiefs now have to play 17 meaningful games whereas Buffalo and Cinci only have to play 16 games total, meaningless or otherwise.

14-3 (if we win Saturday) is a damn good record. The Chiefs by and large took care of business this year.

Again, that makes no sense.....the Chiefs lost playing 17 games but Buffalo and Cinci somehow get to be better because they only played 16?

Like the Pat McAfee show mentioned today, this is the perfect opportunity for the NFL to expand it's playoff scenario with an extra game.

They can use this as a potential benefit next season to expand the playoffs (and the money involved with it)

If Bills and Cincy get to throw out a game, every other team should be allowed to throw out a game.

It's only fair, right?!

Still comes down the fact that the Chiefs have to play 17 games when Cinci and Buffalo do not.

That's like saying you get your hamburger for $1 but the chiefs have to pay $1.50 for the same thing.

The Bills could afford to lose to the Bengals, as long as they beat the Patriots and the Chiefs lose to the Raiders.

The outcome is the same whether they played that game or not. :shrug:

Explain that to the Union. They ain’t going for that

Was flipping around and KCTV reported that the game is going to be declared a no contest.

Can't find anyone else reporting it, KCTV cited an NFL report....

Anyone hear this anywhere else? Seems odd to me that NFL Network and ESPN are not reporting this, but KCTV is.

Not $1.50, more along the lines of $1.06

What ever beat raiders get one seed those two will play is divisional and I hope the beat the shit out of each other then we beat who ever comes out

Oh, I agree. But that's not going to matter though.

Exactly. Just BEAT THE RAIDERS!

The team who played 1 more games and had more 1 win...

So Cincy and Buffalo get to remove the hardest game on their schedule with absolutely no downside according to a lot of dumbasses out there.

No. They dont need watered down teams in the playoffs like the NBA. 7 from each Conference is already too much. They had it perfect at 6 with 2 teams getting the bye.

Why not both!?!

Appears so.

God forbid a loss/tie to the Raiders leaves KC with a what %, and what possible seed? How does it work if Buf-Cincy is a no game, a tie, etc.

Owners meeting Friday

ROFL.

I gave you thumbs up!

Do more karaoke for us!

They have until 3:30PM central Saturday to get this resolved...

Clark better bring his A game.

Yep, you couldn't even get away with this bullshit in a fantasy football league.

Exactly, we shouldn't even have to play on Saturday if this is what the decision is gonna be.

There should not be a neutral field if we end up playing Cinci. And I think Cinci has a strong argument they should get a neutral for Buffalo.

Fight for us, Clark.

Pretty much back to square one then if the owners are going to be deciding it.

This is ridiculous. Clark needs to stand up to this Bills-shit. Punishing the team who did everything they were supposed to do is preposterous! It’s a blatant attempt to screw KC. Clark should tell them **** off we won’t play a playoff game at all this postseason, because it’s already being skewed against us. Play one more game than the other 2 top teams, yet have to share the benefits of the one seed with the other 2 who refused to play the game. What would Bob Kraft do?

This is the first real test Goodell has had as commissioner in some time and he's failed pretty spectacularly.

Translation: the meeting today was to propose final options and take to the owners who will decide tomorrow

Jesus get on with it

You got it. Nfl only rewards wins, not %. They don’t want teams playing for ties.

Which is essentially what those two did by not playing

Put your vagina away. You’re scaring the kids.

It should be 31 owners against the lone whiner from Buffalo.

I don't trust Clark to come through here.



Jerruh? Yeah Dallas would be getting HFA and the bye. No ****ing doubt. Same would be said of Bowlen (with mental capacities intact) and the Broncos.

Clark is too much of a wannabe Mara / Rooney type that puts the Shield ahead of his own franchise.

They’re gonna give Clark a swirlie

I'm sure this thread will circle around through 100 more options before it's decided... ROFLROFL

well that is good news that way I don't have to doom scroll all night

I would imagine most owners in playoff contention will consider it to be a bit of bullshit that the Bills may end up benefiting from not playing their toughest game when their teams had to play all 17 to make it. Will be interesting if any closed door talks leak out.

We will get ****ed somehow. A loss to the Raiders should not have the impact it would have otherwise had 72 hours ago.

QUICK STRIKE INCOMING/ DARU

Go get a handy and then get the evidence squashed.

You would hope

Wonder how likely it is the other owners tell them to get ****ed and play this ****ing game so we don't have to deal with the bullshit anymore.

Hey, you don't have to convince me, I agree.

It's the NFL that would love to make MORE MONEY from more playoff games.

Shades of the lacrosse vs football teams episode of Blue Mountain State

Dude, the game isn't happening LMAO

that said, if the Chiefs lose to the Raiders with a backup QB and their injuries in the last game of the season... they deserve to "get ****ed somehow".

The owners will not want to give up revenue from home field advantage.

Jones was on Sirius today talking about the importance of HFA and why they’re playing all of their starters this week even though there’s a small chance of them getting it. He isn’t going to be the type that votes for any team to give away a home game.

Too Rib'y, needs Cheeseburger stat...

Oh, they'll tell em that to force the Bills to forfeit and take the L so we can move on.

I guess I’m one of the very few, if any that give a shit about what the NFL decides.

Hopefully 1 Aarowhead Drive isn’t acting like the pissbabies in this thread and are ready to play whenever and wherever the league tells them.

As far as I’m concerned, we can play all our games on the goddamn moon - the only two teams we have any reason to be worried about are totally mind****ed over watching a guy die on the field. If we can’t handle business whenever/wherever, that’s on us.

I’m grateful the young man seems to be improving and is gonna make it. Don’t see the point in bitching about what’s “fair”, especially when we have no control over it.

Of course. Any of us would gladly take the #3 seed in this scenario.

But we shouldn't be forced to play the game for meaning if the Bills/Bengals don't have to play their toughest game and benefit from not doing so.

Like losing the 1 seed they would have lost regardless of the outcome on Monday night (given the Bills' small bump in the road vs the Patriots).

I think most people are capable of both being grateful Damar is improving and calling out the Goodell/the league for acting like a fantasy football commissioner who has lost his mind a week before the playoffs start.

And Buffalo and Cinci get away with not playing? But we deserve? Okay…

That's the hope. There will no doubt be a significant collection of owners who will have that attitude (privately).

Not only did someone almost die on the field with millions of people watching on TV, the overwhelming response from everyone involved at the stadium that night wasn't about Hamlin or the Bills or Bengals... it was but how can we **** over the Kansas City Chiefs in this situation?


You'd think we're coming live from a ****ing 4th grade classroom given how much everyone defaults to everything being about the Chiefs.

There’s literally not a single option that is “fair”

So put on your big boy pants and be ready to play whenever/wherever like the mother****ing back to back to back to back AFC Champs (suck my dick, Deegs) you are.

**** the noise.

The fair option now is flip a coin. Heads Buffalo wins, tails Cincinnati.


Anything else is bullshit.

Should someone tell him?

You knew what the **** I meant.

Suck my dick.

Nope, this outcome has been proposed here before and it would involve ****ing the Chiefs because the Bengals as per DJLN were en route to 107-3 win.

I get the feeling that if they haven't released a plan yet and it's going to need the owners buy in it's going to be some convoluted dumb cluster**** that's going to piss off everyone (except maybe the bills)

I will choke the first mf that says "well you know if no one is happy that means it's a good compromise"

Or they're not going to be able to do anything except what's in the rulebook so we're the #1 seed with no strings attached.

Made me think of this...

OTWP is a ****ing ALPHA dude.

Doesn't ever complain about the refs, or getting ****ed by the league. That's for pussies.

Can I get in one more good cry first?
