Football Bills/ Bengals [cancelled - process in OP] - Page 160

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).

The #1 seed would almost always choose the BYE. Why? Because there's a better chance the #2 seed won't even make the Championship game, since they'd have to play twice including a possible game against the #3 seed.

Why would any team choose to play three games instead of two? Just because of HFA? That makes little sense. The extra game is a physical toll.

I'm guessing it will be us since we're the current 1 seed

Us. It's the only reason it's even being bandied about.

The NFL probably wants to come up with a solution that it deems fair-ish. If the game can't be played for whatever scheduling-related reason, going by winning percentage might look fair to a lot of Chiefs fans but it's not going to look super fair to the average NFL fan who will just understand that the Bills were the #1 seed, a game wasn't playeyd, and then they lost the seed.

I realize there's this disconnect where everyone here is certain that it should be a forfeit/no contest and then we just go by winning percentage, and I fully understand that thought process. But I don't think that sort of logic resides with the average NFL fan and I can understand where they're coming from.

That's what the NFL has done.

Hence the issue. Make a decision on it and move on.

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.

Well obv

Should be the Chiefs. Whole thing is absurd though. Just go off percentages or make them replay the game. Any other option creates weird scenarios on the fly.

Cincy was moving easily on the 2nd drive as well. They picked up 13 yards and a first down at the Buffalo 48 yard line when Hamlin’s medical emergency happened.

Fair enough point that Buffalo’s defense might improve in the final 3.5 quarters. Still think it would be over 50% chance of losing for Buffalo. Someone else posted an advanced metric thing that suggested a 65-70% chance for Cincy to win. I don’t agree with that, but I do think it was stronger than 50/50 chance. Cincy is damn tough to beat in their stadium.

I just don't see the need for it. What happened happened. Should we give the Bills a 4 point lead because they lost Von Miller? Teams deal with awful injury luck every week and the league go putting their thumbs on the scale to address it.

And in the end, once you get past the pearl clutching, that's what this is. It's awful injury luck.

I'd go with option 1/ too just because I think that's the cleanest way and then this plays out like it should've. But I don't know that it would put the Chiefs in any better or worse position as it relates to their ability to make it to the SB.

Clark Hunt better scream bloody ****ing murder if they try that shit.

RunKC · 01-05-2023, 10:46 AM

They’re talking about this on Sirius XM radio now like it’s some brilliant idea.

If they did a neutral site, KC/CIN would be in Indianapolis, BUF/KC would be in Cleveland and CIN/BUF would be in Pittsburgh.

Yeah I’m sure that would go over really well

One less chance for their tendency of going full reerun at the most inopportune time costing us a game? Yeah, the bye is infinitely more important.

Still complete bullshit. Buffalo didn't want to play on Tuesday or Wednesday. They should be grateful it isn't a forfeit.
