Football Bills/ Bengals [cancelled - process in OP] - Page 259

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).

Is there a coalition of 9 teams to block this proposal?

You do realize that 3 years earlier the same EXACT thing happened to Mahomes and no one outside of KC gave a shit. In fact, KC proposed a rule change so that wouldn’t happen again and you know who voted against it (amongst most others)? That’s right, the Buffalo Bills.

The Bills only want the rules changed when it affects them. They’re a bunch of self serving pussies. Guess it’s why their entitled fanbase fits so well with them. And the NFL plays right along with it (honestly have no idea why).

It’s pathetic.

I’m just pointing out that the Bengals seemed to mutually agree with the Bills to take their teams off the field and to not press the issue about finishing the game out of respect, and they got screwed for it.

Was thinking the same. Indy is also good at taking on big events.

I proposed that Bills be 2 seed and Bengals 3 seed for matchups, but Bengals and Bills in divisional should be at Cincy because of suspended game, and if Bills win divisional, AFC Championship could be played in Buffalo as if Bills won week 17 at Cincy.

I think the proposal is fine, but Bills v. Bengals in divisional should be a neutral site game.

I would not be surprised if part of the rationale was they did not want Bills to play at Cincy so no thoughts of revisiting a scene with recent bad memories.

A million games have ended that way, but because Joshy made a sad face on TV, we gotta change the rules.

All of this.

Of course the rule going forward doesn't necessarily benefit the Bills or anybody else.

The problem is the timing. All the whining the media and everybody else did on behalf of the Bills, and the sudden (and convenient) change of heart about something we've seen play out the same way like the Chiefs/Pats.

Super Bowl. Clark has to be a part of this community, and losing that game will cost millions in revenue. If he didn't demand something in return that was at least as valuable as an AFCCG for Kansas City (the city, not the team), I'd not want to be him next time he comes hat in hand looking for a bond issue or public assistance with renovations.

Why didn’t they just play OT rules for one quarter to determine a winner. They’d play a quarter of football Monday night and all this could have been avoided.

Uhm, I understand all of that.

Apparently though you don’t understand that changing that rule during the AFCCG last year would be accommodating the Bills but changing it in the offseason does not.

Do you realize that?

Yep. They're a bunch of whining ****ing emo toddlers. In the past I didn't like them but at least respected them. That's gone forever.

No team in their spot would have taken that route, I guarantee it. And the league would have never forced a Bills forfeit that night for PR reasons.

They should have (and may have) requested the game be resumed 2-3 days later.
