Football Bills/ Bengals [cancelled - process in OP] - Page 158

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 actually kind of an interesting compromise

**** that.

How about just have the Buffalo/Cincy game in the divisional round (assuming they both win in the wild card round and we win on Saturday) in Cincinnati instead of Buffalo. We are 1 1/2 games up on Cincy and they would still be behind us in seeding no matter what if we win on Saturday. There’s no way we should lose HFA against them.

Yes lets get these heated fanbases together on a neutral site

Presumptively we'd still get HFA vs. the 3 seed (so i guess Cincinnati). And based on what we saw Monday, I expect Cincy will beat Buffalo even in Buffalo.

So we'd play against, I dunno, Baltimore or SD? While Cincy/Buffalo play and if/when Cincy wins, the game ends up in KC anyway.

But honestly, it seems INCREDIBLY unfair to Cincy to have to play that game in Buffalo given that they seemed very likely to win anyway. And at that point Cincy gets the 2 seed and Buffalo would've had to play on the road again.

This is just a lot of bending over backwards for scenarios that in at least some way end up screwing everyone who ISN'T the Buffalo Bills.

But that's what the average fan wants!

...they had 1 full drive. I don't think you can say a team looks unstoppable because of 1 full drive. Especially when stats say Buffalos defense gets a lot better after 1st quarters. Iirc they're 26th in DVOA in 1st quarters and then top 10 in the other 3 quarters.

But Buffalo players had to endure so much. They were crying. They were broken. Let’s just give them the trophy right now. No week 18. No playoffs. Bills are your SB champs. Awww isn’t that inspiring???

Hammock Parties · 01-05-2023, 10:33 AM

if the chiefs actually agreed to that compromise, the bengals would immediately be up the NFL's ass about the two seed

not gonna happen

Can’t wait to read the reactions if that happened. Most likely idiots would want Buffalo to keep the #1 seed as it would not have been fair because their hearts weren’t into it because “Damar”.

It's the same scenario.

The Bills got screwed out of the one seed by not playing, the Bengals got screwed out of the two seed by not playing.

You can argue the Bengals got screwed MORE because they were winning.

I agree with you that there was no greater than a coin-flip's chance. But there was still absolutely a chance, right? Maybe 35-40% chance the Bills win?

Wouldn't that be exactly a situation where compromise would make sense? It wasn't a 0% chance, right? If the Chiefs are given the option, they should OBVIOUSLY take the bye week as that gives them an advantage on par with the probablistic advantage they had when the game was postponed.

Phrased another way...
Would you prefer:
1/ allowing the Bengals/Bills game to be resumed and then determing seedings based on that?
OR
2/ being given the 1 seed with a bye but have the AFCCG played in Buffalo?

Probabalistically speaking, I think they put us in a similar place. And that's why it's a relatively fair compromise option.

Do I have that right?

It’s pretty confusing because whoever has the 1 seed has to have the bye week. There’s nobody for them to play in the first week unless they added another wild card team.

And on Cincy's next possession they'd gone 20 yards in 2 plays to move into Bills territory.

No, we hadn't seen much yet, but Burrow started 4/4 for 52 yards while Allen went 3/6 for 33. The Bengals looked damn sharp and the Bills were fighting it a bit.

And on the road in a key matchup, those things are more likely to continue to snowball that simply revert themselves.

Not to mention the Bills were dropping like flies.

Seriously? I would imagine Roger Goodell who is making this decision cares what the average NFL fan thinks.
