Football Bills/ Bengals [cancelled - process in OP] - Page 162

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).

****ing Cincy & Buffalo received a second BYE this week. They can either accept the BYE & no contest, or they can play a makeup game prior to the playoff and receive no BYE prior. Anything other than that is wildly unfair to the rest of the league.

Honestly that is awesome news. It looks like he is going to be ok.

That's actually kind of an interesting compromise

Are they going to make the 1 seed in the NFC play three games to have home field advantage?

This is a dumb idea.

While I’m completely with you on this thought, and the Chiefs being punished because the Bills decided to leave and the Bengals didn’t want to finish under the circumstances is bullshit. If we would have stopped the playoff game against the Texans at the same point as this game was stopped, I’m sure everybody would assume we lost the game. They should call it a tie, and keep the standings as the would fall.

It should be bye and a neutral site at worst.

In no way should the Chiefs have the 1 seed and be forced to play in Cincy or Buffalo.

Mahomes is just as good on the road as he is at home. And he's lost two AFCCG at home. And bye weeks can be just a detrimental as it is good. You lose momentum. 1 seeds lose all the time.

I DGAF about any of this. Let's just play the games. If we're the best team each week we'll win the SB.

All the crying is getting old.

Yep, they chose to not play the game.

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.

Two things:

1. The 'average NFL fan' is generally a moron. The die-hards know whats up.

2. They were NOT the 1 seed going into the game. The Chiefs were. The outcome of that game would determine whether they got it back or not. And Cincy has been probably the hottest team in the AFC over the last couple months. A LOT of people picked Cincy to win that game, and based on what we saw in that first 7 minutes of that game I'd say it's highly likely they would have. The Bills didn't lose anything (other than a player to a fluke incident).

Then they should have played the game lat night or tonight.

They don't get gifted HFA or 1 seed because of feels.

Sure.

But what's 'fair' is to simply wipe the game off the books and let the chips fall where they may.

Put even more simply, if the Bills want the bye they need to play the game. If that can’t happen logistically then it should go to win percentage. Still requires all three teams to actually win football games this weekend to get the top seed.

What the **** is this compromise you speak of?

You're getting soft, staylor.
