Why not?

What does he POSSIBLY GAIN by bending over for the Bills?

Great, now it's going to be unanimous "yes"

Clark Hunt isn't the one who should be rounding up votes. It is the Cincy owner Mike Brown. Appears the NFL is not creating a neutral site game for Cincy & Buffalo, even though the Bengals were robbed of their chance to gain a tiebreaker on Buffalo in the W-L standings.

Instead Cincy is forced to go to Buffalo in a playoff game. Seems like it should be a neutral site. The Bengals should be pretty furious right now. Their owner should be raising hell at the owner meeting tomorrow.

DIVISIONAL ROUND

Clark and Mike are on the same side, and Clark is way better at this, I assure you.

Clark will protect the Shield.

And the Shield cannot do anything that supports the narrative that they're immorally profiting from an intrinsically unsafe sport.

playoff seeding has NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT

The Chargers are gonna be happy to just be there.....and they have to fly cross country to Jax for a road game.....Jax is playing well, and while they don't have much player experience, Pederson is a super bowl winning coach--I trust him to have his guys more ready to play than Brandon Staley.

I don't think Clark will go down that path, not when we have seen major media people floating ideas of KC being forced to go to Buffalo. Neutral site is a decent result from the KC side of it. If you vote down the current proposal, they might come up with something a lot worse that is more damaging from KC's perspective.

Cincy is the one getting screwed in a major way. They were not given a chance to finish their game against Buffalo, which would have potentially moved Cincy above Buffalo in the standings. And now Cincy is being forced to go to Buffalo. Pretty messed up. This post on the Bengals forum sums it up better than me:

"A Bills/Bengals divisional game should not be played in Buffalo. I can stomach the Ravens coin flip thing, but come on. Our home game against the Bills gets cancelled but then we are expected to go to their house in the post season? When beating them in our house would have prevented that? Bullshit."

Clark can damn sure go down that path if it's what's best for the Chiefs.

Protect the Shield, sure. Propping up one franchise ain't it.

Yeah I think it's still gonna be a rematch with Cinci, which means it cost us nothing.

Of course it does.

If MNF was Cards vs the Bears and it was the Cardinals leaving Chicago because a backup safety is grievously injured on a routine and non-dirty play, the only controversy would be whether or not it's acceptable to take a forfeit if it means you get better draft position compared to the team they forfeited to.

It's my dream that the NFL owners Buck Fuffalo club tells the competition committee to pound sand and they simply give Buffalo the L they deserve tomorrow night.

lol.

You being mad at the situation is no reason to make up dumb things that absolutely will not be happening.

I see it passing pretty smoothly but it will be interesting to see it go down who knows. We are so far from the inside baseball on this. Hoping we get to see exactly who voted how.

Patrick Mahominator in a dome means death to all in arabic.

Agree Bengals having to go to Buffalo was only obvious flaw. Makes no sense at all. And when they take down the Bills all this winds up having no impact on the chiefs.

Was just going to mention this. I wonder how good he is in a dome/warm compared to cold. I know he says hes a snow guy but lets be honest its hard to catch his zingers in the cold and you lose touch on throws in cold.

This has been a good day, only way it gets better is if the Chiefs officially change their team mascott to JarJar Binks. :)

I’m a big fan of the Chiefs

So looks like the answer to Whodey talking Bout Bengals getting Beat is Katie Blackburn that's who.

Imma gonna guess Zac Taylor and Joe Burrow are not expecting to lose a game and a coin flip.

Yeah. That last trip to LucasOil went well.

Welcome to the AFC Championship live from Dubai

So beat LV and we clinch a bye and a guarantee that we won't go on the road, or at least to a hostile environment? Ill take it.

fyp

Imagine the CP alphas when 1 questionable call goes against the Chiefs in the game played at the neutral site LMAO Game thread will be lit

I've kind of felt that outside of the bye I'm not sure how much I'm worried about it. We are 2-2 at Arrowhead in the AFCCG. Although I guess you can argue we are Dee Fords hand and 21-3 away from being 4-0.

I guess I feel like on the road KC might be more locked in. Just my gut feeling.

However just on principal I can't accept this decision. You have rules in to place to deal with this and you are ignoring them. You are impacting 4 teams now instead of 2 and it's hard for me to not think public perception is the driving factor. That's not a good reason. The media will stop caring about this in a week yet this may impact a month plus, to say nothing of the historical impact on a team come Feb.

oh **** off, idiot

the previous one was fine

Won't be enough George Brett statues to hold you back

Tyreek 😰😰

**** off **** off **** off **** you ****ing bitch

It's all good now. It was all pain we needed to help us appreciate it when we made it to the promise land.

And the Jags beat them 38-10 in week 3.

My purposal now hear me out. Let the Bills have home field advantage if the Bills and Bills Mafia on live TV shove a giant dildo up their asses including the owner and Bon Jovi for wanting to buy the Bills.

Come on, man. You weren't born yesterday...

Just because you are paranoid,

Doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.

Skyy Moore, LJ Sneed, Joe Thuney, Hardman and Butker approve the bye!

Screws the fans having games played at a neutral site. They're going to have to spend a lot more money to travel to watch their team when it should have been a home game. It's just a bunch of contrived bullshit by the league and it doesn't make it any more fair. It's favoritism plain and simple.

Toward who?

The Chiefs come out the best in this whole thing.

Yep. Josh gets what he wants

As called out by the Bengals. Now to find out if can get enough other owners to vote with them including Clark tomorrow.

if there's a god bill belichick takes a giant shit on BUF

It's bullshit you ****in' douche.

The owners need to fix it.

This is what I’m hoping for. I’m so glad that Hamlin is making such amazing progress and looks to be taking his first steps on the road to recovery. As a lifelong Chiefs fan, however, I also hope that the Bills flame out in spectacular fashion and don’t see the Divisional round, let alone the Championship.

In this cute little rant you forgot to answer the question of exactly who they were showing favoritism to

The Chiefs could not have made out much better in terms of competitive advantage in this plan.

(3/3)

toward the Bills you stupid idiot

who the **** do you think?

go back to soccer

Which is strange because the Chiefs easily come out the best from this situation.

i'm so grateful the NFL only abandoned part of it's rulebook to **** us over gently

if a monkey flings poo into a room full of gay soccer fans and of of them gets less shit on them , it's still a shitty situation

the Bills CLEARLY benefitted from this. every other team...not so much

the Bills should've taken the L. how is cinci OK with this?

Disagree. Buffalo had at least a 55% chance of losing on Monday if that game was completed. A loss for them pushes KC into a spot for a clear cut #1 seed with home field advantage. KC isn't getting screwed anywhere near as badly as the Bengals, at least.

Of course its not *ideal* but if someone makes a claim that there was favoritism toward a team and you think it was the Bills well that is just silly. All of the other stupid shit you are saying is just that because you got caught up in a bad argument just to disagree with me.

Explain this

I think I may agree but want to hear the angle

According to the league's actual rules (which should count for something), the Chiefs should have come out better than this. They are changing them one week before the playoffs to appease the Bills.

My dad is a television set repairman. I can fix this.


I like sex. Bo Derek's tits...

Ya I know and you are going to tell us all a bunch of fiction that did not happen to prop up your story we get it.

The NFL has pretty much gotten what they want in terms of the narrative. We’re now fully accepting of the fact that they’ve flushed their rulebook down the toilet and instead of asking why that’s even being considered we’re debating the finer points of how much of a f-over this is instead of repudiating it outright.

That said, if they were going to make up new rules this certainly doesn’t impact what could have been for KC like it does for Cincy. The Bengals went from having a real shot at a one seed to hoping things work out on a coin flip to even be able to host a WC game.

What fiction? What the hell are you talking about? What are you even doing in this thread?

The Chiefs went from not having the inside track on the 1st seed to having it totally under their control.

No matter what the crystal balls of the Chiefsplanet people say here it is not a forgone conclusion the Bills lost that game.

Agenda posting.

Making fun of you for making stuff up to prop up your takes.

I think some are underestimating just how much holding up a trophy named after his father in Arrowhead actually means to Clark.

I see him fighting this tooth and nail.

potentially gay as **** seeing a BILLS in one end zone in the afc championship too

and half the stadium blue

milquetoast garbage

great job turning the paegantry of an NFL game into a run of the mill bowl game

it's not silly at all

they should have an L

there's a ton of ramifications from them getting to skate out from taking the L

the fact you refuse to acknowledge this is moronic

What is my agenda?

Go Chiefs I hope we go to the Superbowl?

Just saying everyone here wants to bitch and be the victim and be a drama queen. When we clearly came out better than the other 2 teams.

What takes? WTF?

You are laboring under the idea that game should have been played. It was never going to get played. My POV comes from accepting that as reality which it clearly is. From there you have to go on and figure it out...the likely solution is not perfect but favors the Chiefs more than the Bills and way more than the Bengals.

I know you guys like to bitch and be the victims and hey it sucks all of this had to happen but it is what it is. *shrug*

So people shouldn't point out the utter absurdity of a billion dollar league changing its playoff rules a week before the playoffs to help one team just because the Chiefs made out better than two other teams?

There is no logic to anything you are posting here.

I’m not gonna be mad if that’s how it’s decided.

If Buffalo finishes that game and gets a win, we need to play 3 playoff games to make it to the superbowl.

Now, we only need to win a home game and a neutral location game to make it to the Super Bowl as long as we take care of business in Vegas Saturday.

I agree with that. I posted as much but wrote it while you were posting this.

If a game doesn't get played, there are rules that the league has set out for how to deal with it. The league should have followed them in this case and there is no good reason it had for not doing so. The fact that the NFL didn't is a massive red flag and a sign of clear bias in favor of one team.

It is my hope that a group of owners call the league out on its bullshit and don't allow this to become a precedent.

You can do anything you want KC Connection you get to type anything on here. You can make up that only 1 team did not want the game to be played no matter how false that is.

Just like I get to call you guys obsessed with being victims.

Look man its a message board people get to type things in and press submit don't make it harder than it has to be,

The team with top record in the AFC should host the game. If that’s the Bills then so be it. Although some don’t seem to want to acknowledge it, they’re is a set of rules for this and instead of following them we are potentially taking away one of the key advantages of having the best record. That goes for the Bills and Bengals as much as the Chiefs.

The Bills did not want to play the game this week, that is a self-evident and obvious fact. Not sure what that has to do with my post though (which you predictably didn't address). Again, no clue what you are doing here.

Before...BUF gets 1 seed if they win out.
After - BUF gets 1 seed only if KC loses.

Before - KC gets 1 seed if BUF loses AND they beat the Raiders
After - KC simply has to beat the Raiders.

If there is favortism here it is toward KC. I don't actually think there is favortism I think they did the best they could with a bad situation but trying to use the same language as the people obsessed with being victims.

And I am tired of explaining it to you so sorry man don't know what else to tell you. Sorry you are so mad about it and making up that only one team did not want to play the game. Don't know what else to tell you maybe get some fresh air.
