In case anyone needs it spelled out, we would play at a neutral site if the AFCCG ends up being Chiefs vs. Bills. All other scenarios abide by the usual rules (so any other game the Chiefs play will be at home).

That's the thing, with Damar's prognosis Tuesday, there was no reason not to play the game Wednesday. They were down 2 dback's and would have gotten smoked. Most teams would have stepped up and said that it would be hard to take the field but they were going to do it so they could represent Damar and the City of Buffalo, they did not.

That's bs if so.

Probably. If they're already figuring out the logistics now that's probably the path forward.

I got a text from a buddy with an inside source. They are leaning towards not playing the Bills/Bengals game. Seeding will go off winning percentage of teams record. AFCCG will be played at a neutral site. Don’t kill the messenger.

Never mind. Page late.

No thanks to indy. That field is injury cursed.

I don't get the feeling that Cincy was pushing very hard to finish the game over the last few days. Cincy does get an extra bye week of sorts here, by only playing 15% of a game. They avoided 85% of the injury risk for their roster.

I meant amongst those two teams. The Chiefs are observers like us in that game so it’s hard to say their interests matter at all in the game being played.

But the Bengals still need other things beyond their control to happen in their favor to get the most out of that game while for the Bills playing and losing is essentially the same as not playing with potential of not playing being better than playing and losing but only slightly worst than playing and winning.

Also anything Indy-related has bad karma for the Chiefs... no thanks.

The Chiefs as the #1 seed should get to choose the neutral location.

We were forced to play a frigging SB on the OPPONENT'S HOME TURF with home cookin' refs, and a MASH-unit OL.

Now we need to give Buffalo a break because they fee fees was not in it? Oh HELLLLL NO.

That was a DNP or forfeit, Buffalo. Anything else is bullshit.

Very true.

I wouldn't want to play in Indy, that place has bad mojo for us.

Basically. By refusing to play the game, the Bills eliminated the chance they could have to play a road game in KC. Well played.

13 point swing on special teams in that stadium earlier this season.

They were down 2 starters in the secondary and would have gotten smoked... Cincy should be the one really pissed.
