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 issue… it becomes a slippery slope.

Again, I'm behind so may have been addressed. The divisional round would be our first playoff game and will be played the same weekend as the Bills/Bengals, assuming that they both win their WC games.

I don't think we will know... meaning they won't tell us the vote count... Just pass or not...

I think it's "is he going to die?"

Alex smith was gruesome but no-one was thinking "did my teammate just die? They didn't have to think during the game is one of my friends still alive? This is an extreme case. Very extreme and some people are acting like we are in danger of this happening everytime someone stubs their toe.

Bengals executive vice president Katie Blackburn is on the competition committee, which approved the scenarios Thursday. In a memo obtained by ESPN's Seth Wickersham, Blackburn urged the committee members to vote against the scenarios. Her reasoning stemmed from the timing of a rule change away from the standard of winning percentages used in this scenario.

"The proper process for making rule change (sic) is in the off-season," Blackburn wrote. "It is not appropriate to put teams in a position to vote for something that may introduce bias, favor one team over another or impact their own situation when the vote takes place immediately before the playoffs."

Katie is making sense here. The NFL is very much not. This will set a horrible precedent.

If Jerry Jones decides to be a **** just because it probably won't pass.

Well said

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

Exactly where I was earlier, I just didn't think Cincinnati deserved neutral site if we win Saturday. Now that's resolved, I'm 👍.

**dirk digler** · 01-05-2023, 10:05 PM

I was curious who was on the competition committee and after reviewing this I guess I don't feel so bad for Bengals\Ravens unless the vote wasn't unanimous. Would be curious to see who voted for what.

Rich McKay (chairman) – president, Atlanta Falcons
Katie Blackburn – executive vice president, Cincinnati Bengals
Chris Grier – general manager, Miami Dolphins
Stephen Jones – executive vice president, Dallas Cowboys
John Mara – owner, New York Giants
Ozzie Newsome – executive vice president, Baltimore Ravens
Frank Reich – head coach, Indianapolis Colts
Ron Rivera – head coach, Washington Commanders
Mike Tomlin – head coach, Pittsburgh Steelers
Mike Vrabel – head coach, Tennessee Titans

Same here, it's just ridiculous they didn't make them resume on Tuesday or Wednesday with the prognosis of Damar stable and improving.

Also, given that the proposed approach represents a deviation from current rules, the owners will be required to approve the revision via a 24-vote supermajority. The NFL has confirmed this.

So, in other words, only nine votes are needed to block it. Tomorrow could be interesting.

stanleychief · 01-05-2023, 10:06 PM

I'd add one more provision to their proposal. If the Chiefs win out, have to play at a neutral site and lose to the Bills or Bengals, we get an early round compensatory draft pick.

Bengals are pissed though. If they win and the Bills win they have to play in Buffalo even though they controlled their own destiny going into Monday night and most likely would have been happy to resume the game on Tuesday or Wednesday...

Not sure what he would gain from that. And my suspicion is it's already been cleared by him.

They don't want to have this lingering out there for days because the owners can't agree on it. I think that's just a formality at this stage.
