Football Bills/ Bengals [cancelled - process in OP] - Page 249

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).

I think the NFL should strip the Buccaneers of their playoff spot. They don't deserve it anyway. Who else agrees?

I agree with Barry. Let's boot the Bucs from the playoffs while we're in the business of changing the playoff format mid-stream.

I mean, it'd be nice if the Giants somehow made it, but that's not happening

. Honestly don't know. We'd have a dogfight with any of the three favorites slotted to come out of the NFC.

What are you talking about? They did. Turns out people didn't dig on the old coin toss thing a majiggy.

Time to move on, I don't think the Bills make the AFCCG anyways. Let's go kick some faider ass.

Having to make up new rules to screw the Chiefs over.

These are just guesses according to Zach...

If we win Saturday, there's no possible way that the Bengals and Bills could play each other in the AFCCG. They could only meet in the divisional round. Which, by the way, should also be at a neutral site.

How do you figure? All that has to happen is for the Chiefs to lose and them both to win and they will play each other in the AFCCG.

How exactly are the chiefs being screwed over? Have I missed something the last 5 years Mahomes has played where we're vastly better at home vs away or something?

3. Hosting the championship game.

Sure, playing in Arrowhead is preferred, but the Chiefs are no slouch on the road and are far from invincible playing at home. Relatively small effect, all things considered.

The fact that they could have ****ed us worse doesn't mean they still didn't **** us. But I admit, I was expecting worse.

Sassy Squatch · 01-05-2023, 09:36 PM

So if it doesn't pass with a 24 owner supermajority we just hold #1 and HFA. Neat.

You don't think the league changing their rules a week before the playoffs to potentially strip the Chiefs of HFA in the AFC Championship despite having a better record than the Bills isn't screwing them over? I'd love to know what would qualify then.

Sassy Squatch · 01-05-2023, 09:38 PM

Yes, the Chiefs got ****ed by gaining control of the bye.

Who says? Clark better get his voting coalition together.

MahomesMagic · 01-05-2023, 09:38 PM

This latest update actually addresses my earlier concern that the Bengals would get a neutral site in AFC Championship game even if we won.

I don't think Buffalo will make it to the game anyway so I would be fine with this.
