Bills/ Bengals [cancelled - process in OP]

[cmh6476]

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).

Breaking News: Of course the game is secondary to #DamarHamlin’s health, but #Bills insider @viccarucci just reported on @wgrz Daybreak that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will make the call on rescheduling the Bills/Bengals game and it would have to be played within 2 days.

There is another option according to @viccarucci - the league can add a 19th week so the Bills/Bengals can get in all their games. @wgrz https://t.co/1X1hCHVN8c

I assume we'll hear something soon

After speaking with both teams and NFLPA leadership, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell informed the clubs today that the Bills-Bengals game will not be resumed this week.

The NFL has made no decision regarding the possible resumption of the game at a later date.

KC wins, we get a BYE. Boom.

If Buff or Cincy lose this weekend, and we meet them in the championship, we still have home field.

If we meet one of them and that one wins their week 18 game (Buff - NE, Cin - Bal), then we play at a neutral site.

^ I think that’s right?

The Bills strike me as embracing the victim mentality here and will ride that to at least one loss in the next two games.

So winning percentage doesn’t matter for KC, but the Ravens can’t host a game versus Cincinnati because Cincinnati has a better winning percentage.

Can someone start a poll about whether a first round bye is good or not? I thought we all agreed it was but Discuss Thrower has me questioning that.

Unreal.

How do you figure?

Do you want a bye I sure do

This was from a 2016 estimate… have to imagine it would be significantly higher 7 years later.

Robbed unjustly from KC because the Bills are gutless quitters… what a pathetic joke.

Sunday's AFC Championship Game is predicted to generate more than $10 million for Denver's economy.

No, Chiefs and Bengals only at a neutral site if the Chiefs lose and the Bengals win.

So what if we win and Buffalo loses to NE? No mention of that at all......

Week 18 has no bearing on a possible Bills-Bengals championship game: that would be in Buffalo.

Simple enough.

I'm fine with it. HFA doesn't mean anything to the chiefs honestly. I'll take the bye and a neutral site game that will be 50%+ chiefs fans anyways

They just released what the owners are likely to vote through tomorrow. So, yes, worth reading.

Kind of self explanatory? We'd just have the 1 seed outright.
