Yep. Or at least demand publicly the game be played on Wednesday. As it is, they essentially get an L for the game while Bills get a no contest.
Going into the game, if the Bengals lost they would have been the 3 seed with no chance at 1 or 2 seed having to beat the Ravens for a home game in round 1.
Now after this vote the Bengals have no chance at the 1 seed, are still the 3 seed, need help for the 2 seed, and have to beat the Ravens in a coin flip for a home game (much worst odds than actually beating the Ravens on the field without Lamar).
This second option is clearly much worst for them as the location of the first playoff game is now up to chance instead of being determined on the field.
