I thought it was complete bullshit that the league ignored it then with only 2 votes in favor and then overwhelmingly approved it years later.

But there’s no part of me that thinks the change in voting pattern was because the owners hate the Chiefs and love the Bills.

If the Bengals bounce the Bills, can we go on 2billsdrive and ask them to join our playoff bandwagon?!

;)

Dude, you're being obtuse.

Nobody thinks that the rule benefits the ****ing Bills or anybody going forward.

The point is that nobody gave a single **** until it happened THAT time.

Unless the Chiefs or Bills blow it this weekend, this is probably gonna be the divisional rd:

LAC @ KC
CIN @ BUF

So the NFL is trying to **** us.

**** that---go Patriots--they win and it will be moot.

I was gonna say me and that Bills poster on here could sword fight with our pork swords to see who gets home field

Stidham is trying to prove himself both with the Raiders and other teams around the league for his next contract. I don’t think he will be tanking.

So
Damn
Inconsistent

Would this be on NFL redzone?

so wait If we win do we get the bye?

Wow - I had no idea. It’s not like I didn’t just post what I thought made the owners change their minds 3 short years later.

Yes.

But wouldnt the Chiefs get a bye?

I think the Jags can take out the Chargers....they have blown them out once already this season and they are playing well right now.

Chiefs need to thrash the Raiders...get the 1 seed and the bye.

Hopefully the Pats can upset the Bills, which would then secure HFA.

Bills were on the verge of getting boat raced Monday night.....the NFL is basically giving them a win.

I don't necessarily think that.

I would actually have given them the benefit of the doubt until this ordeal.

I thought it was mostly because the outrage from the team, the media, and the fans. I didn't necessarily think it was favoritism. Moreso reactionary.

But we now have a pattern of the Bills being cry babies and the NFL changing rules.

Yes.

Why Jerry Jones?

Because **** Roger Goodell. That's why.

ok I think thats most important suck about the AFFCG home field but the bye is important

the homefield advantage didnt help us last year up by 20 . .and we play great on the road. .

the Bye is huge...

hopefully the chargers lose their first playoff game

Yes, but you are also trying to pretend that the timing and everything about it wasn't awfully convenient.

The only thing that changed was WHO it happened to.

Yea, and if they lose the coin toss if they play each other they will also get the 1st place schedule next year... NFL is really ****ing the Bungals...

I was thinking going into this past weekend that the Bills had the tie breaker on better record against common opponents but I certainly could be wrong.

Jerry Jones is tight with Clark. Their families have been close going way back.

It’s not convenient for anyone if it didn’t benefit the Bills last AFCCG and if it doesn’t favor anyone going forward. Now who’s being obtuse?

So Chiefs whine, voted on in off season to change rule, no takers.

Bills whine, voted on in off season, and ‘yeah, let’s change the rules’ That was SO unfair what happened to Josh and the Bills.

Obviously, the change benefits everyone going forward, but yeah, can’t imagine why I would think anyone was trying to accommodate the Bills. :rolleyes:

Do you talk about penises constantly in real life or is this just a thing you do on ChiefsPlanet

We only go to a neutral field if we win and the Bills win this weekend.

We would get Cincinnati at Arrowhead.

I'd say its pretty much a coin flip we get either the Jags or the Chargers should that be the matchup.

But ideally, the Bills lose the first game and we get that scrub while the Chargers and Bengals have to play each other.

Just want to clarify:

Do people think Clark is voting in favor of this or against it because of some crazy idea that the Chiefs got screwed here?

I figured we were all on board with the former but I want to make sure as this thread has been extra spicy.

I think there's a pretty good chance Jacobs doesn't play. He's questionable and really there's no reason to run him out there. He's also due for a contract I think so he probably doesn't have a lot of interest in playing.

to be honest this actually favors the Chiefs...

pewrsonally think the Bills wouldve beat the Bengals. .

so we got gifted a bye. . in that scenario. .

but I hope we can keep our eye on the prize and curb stomp the Raidfers Saturday

JFC man yes you're absolutely still being obtuse.

It's not about it not benefiting the Bills going forward.

It's about the fact that the Bills cried like babies and everybody screamed about how unfair it was with them THEN something got done.

It happened just two years prior in the SAME exact way in a game EVERYBODY was watching and NOBODY gave a ****.

You are absolutely being obtuse by not seeing the clear differences, and the fact that you're acting like when it happened to the Chiefs was also part of the reason something finally got done is hilariously reeruned.

Sure. But that doesn't necessarily go for everyone else.

Going back to the 90s, the Raiders are always a good bet to pack it in this late in the season if they're out of it. They've got vacations planned. Who wants to get injured right before that in a meaningless game?

They've never shown that divisional pride late in the season, when they're out of it, like the Broncos and Chargers do sometimes.

I offered my reasons what was different this time.

How do you compare that versus the prior experience?

The Bills minus 2 starting dbacks were not beating the Bengals if that game resumes...

This works!

I predict that the owners approve the plan after an amendment that says Bills v. Bengals in Divisional can be neutral site because Bengals lost opportunity to give Bills a 4th loss so that teams would end up with a tie with Bengals winning head to head tiebreaker.

The rationale that Bills and Bengals lost opportunity to match the Chiefs record and win tiebreaker should also apply to Bengals Bills in Divisional if both win week 19 games.

I predict it passes after amended to say if Bills and Bengals win week 19 and wildcard games so that they are the 2 v. 3 matchup in Divisional, that game is at neutral site.

I do not think they would have announced it if the owners were not all on board--the vote is just a formality.

Clark is too much of a gentleman to vote no. The Ravens/Bengals...I could see both of those teams maybe voting no...

Absolutely baseless. Nothing about how that game started should make you think that.

If something happens once, people ignore it as it feels like a one-off. If something happens 2 times in 4 seasons, it feels like something that needs to be addressed. Especially as the first time involved Tom ****ing Brady who gets a free pass from everything and the second time involved the greatest game of our lifetimes.

FYP

I'm talking about ways to settle the home field debate lex loser stay on topic

Sorry, but you are full of shit. Chiefs win, they will have earned the #1 seed fair and square.

Bengals were at 60% to win when the game was called...and were headed to a 14-3 lead....Bills were much closer to being blown out than they were winning.

Best case scenario for the Chiefs is to take care of business on Saturday against the Faiders, and then for the Pats to upset the Bills on Sunday--which I think is a decent possibility...then everything is moot.

I wonder if we could get the Raiders to agree to forfeit this weekend to:

1) Improve their draft position
2) Keep us healthy.

If the NFL is now open to not having teams play, run it up the flagpole.

Don't turn this into some sort of dick measuring contest

true but ive seen them comeback there was a lot of football..

Thats why Im saying in that scenario. .

if the bills won out we had zero chance of gettng the bye..

obviously the game should count as a tie and we should get all the glory of the 1 seed but i see the NFLs side in not punishing a team who almost had a player die. . its a tough one and I think they have a decent solution. .

football is football the Chiefs are gonna either come out flat and backwards or dominant..i dont think the field matters at this point..

No use at getting mad at any of this. At the end of the day the NFL is a business and will do whatever best for their bottom line. Not 1 Chiefs fan is going to turn away from the NFL if the game is played at a netrual site

It was the first quarter and it was 7-3. Acting like Buffalo losing was a foregone conclusion is ridiculous.

And they're absolutely reeruned.

Call it reactionary as opposed to flat out favoritism if you want, but it couldn't be more obvious that all the crying the Bills , the media, and the fans did was the difference. I don't think it necessarily means the NFL hates the Chiefs, but it is what it is.

This is why I thought that post DJ made about you needing to see Goodell say it with his ID in his hands is so hilarious and spot on.

The same thing that kept you from seeing what everybody else could see in terms of the Bills not wanting to resume the game is the same thing that is keeping you from understanding why that rule finally got changed.

You're a smart dude, but your instincts and ability to read situations are just non-existent.

I’m only 2 hours away. That would be great

why do the owners even need to show up to vote? they could do it by email

no, they are showing up so clark can get the "**** the bills" foolish club together to do just that :)

all started by mike brown and clark hunt

hell, if that really is happening, mike can probably get 2-3 owners on his side that clark coudnt

He has no reason to vote for it. I'd say he might vote yes just to be friendly but competitively there is no reason for him to vote in favor assuming the alternative is that it goes to winning percentage if it doesn't pass.

Do you have a better idea? Because the NFL's is pretty stupid

so youre so biased n your opinion u are giving the begals and extra 7 poiunts??

yes the Bengals were winning and couldve easily won but the Bills are a tough team that sticks around that was going to be a close game ..

I just dont think it seems like the NFL is out to get us. . we get a bye..im happy with that

thje Chiefs by Q2 have prob been like 85% to lose most of their games and we win. . that stat is dumb. .

Gotta think there's going to be some puckered assholes involving player safety might be best to keep this behind closed doors

I responded to that post.

And, yes, you’re being obtuse.

For awhile I was totally on the “I don’t want to play the Bills and Bengals” train….but I’ll be honest here..I am more concerned about the Chargers than the Bills at this point.

The Bills aren’t the same team they were at the start of the season or even at the beginning of the season or even when they played us. They are much worse.

The Chargers have a similar QB talent, better WR’s and a much better defense that is getting back Bosa. They also know us very well.

Not scared of either team but I’d much rather face the current Bills team if I had the option.

It doesn't matter, either the chiefs win their games or they don't. Being a champion means beating adversity.

ok now Im rembver why i dont post here anymore...anything u say gets attack..have fun u miserable pricks. .

Go Chiefs

Bye Week baby!!!!

Mahomes is my baby daddy!

Abstain.

I'm gonna disagree on your assessment of the two games. Mahomes put up 24 points in the 4th quarter on the best defensive coach ever, and he never got to touch the ball in Overtime. There was zero sympathy in Buffalo or other places, despite the fact Buffalo is a supposed rival of the Patriots/Brady. The hypocrisy is laughable, and so is the voting result in both instances.

**** Buffalo

hope the curse on them lasts 50 more years

they should've forfeited the game. period. or played it. this pussy middle ground is next level stupid woke BS

I used to like them & root for them to break the curse

no more

My idea was that they play the football game, but since the Bills can opt out of football games if they like, that one isn't going to work.

It was FAR from the first time it happened when it happened to the Chiefs. Did everybody just start watching football the last 5 years? JFC.

It was not a forgone conclusion...but it was more likely than them winning.

Assuming they were going to win that game...on the road...with the crowd pumped up...is just stupid.

no just him

Maybe give them draft picks?

Zoom call?

People will be doing chargebacks on their donations to Hamlin's GoFundMe before all of this is over. What a great job the NFL has done here, squandering a rare moment of national unity by playing games instead of just following their own rulebook.

Steve Bisciotti would be on KC's side too, as the Ravens are getting screwed.

I got Clark getting:

Mike Brown
Jerry Jones
Shahid Khan
Jeffrey Lurie
Janice McNair
Stephen Ross
Woody Johnson

That's nine, easy.

Operation Buck Fuffalo is underway already I'm sure.

trade them JaMarcus russel

How do you know those other guys would be on Hunts side?

I mean the Bills couldve won out and got the number one seed. .

but it turns out they didnt have the heart. .

get it..didnt have the heart. .

Clark is not going to do that. Chiefs will take the high road. And who knows....I am not sure the Bills win another game this season....they still looked pretty shell shocked in their media appearance today...I could see NE's defense having a day and winning a playoff spot for the Pats.

Obviously because it also happened in 2019 in the Saints/Vikings WC game.

And in the Patriots/Falcons SB.

Chargers, bills, Bengals oh my!

Beating the best team is the way, leaves no doubt, shuts them all up, makes the win even sweeter. Bring them on.

I was going to say, if the Chargers botch it and we get the Jags it would be hilarious. The level of butthurt will be astronomical.
