Bills/ Bengals [cancelled - process in OP]

[cmh6476]

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).

Breaking News: Of course the game is secondary to #DamarHamlin’s health, but #Bills insider @viccarucci just reported on @wgrz Daybreak that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will make the call on rescheduling the Bills/Bengals game and it would have to be played within 2 days.

There is another option according to @viccarucci - the league can add a 19th week so the Bills/Bengals can get in all their games. @wgrz https://t.co/1X1hCHVN8c

I assume we'll hear something soon

After speaking with both teams and NFLPA leadership, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell informed the clubs today that the Bills-Bengals game will not be resumed this week.

The NFL has made no decision regarding the possible resumption of the game at a later date.

If the Bengals won, a loss to the Raiders could leave the Chiefs as #3 seed if Bills and Bengals win on week 18.

So now it’s smug to have an expectation that the league follow the rules it agreed to follow at the start of the season? I’m not expecting you to have read every response I ever made in this thread but my issue has nothing to do with competitive advantage or assuming who would have won the Bengals/Bills game. It has to do with the league pretending that the very issue that arose wasn’t already anticipated in the rules but instead of following those rules they felt obligated to change the rules.

The seats in the stands are like new there.

It is not pretending Bengals beat Bills, it is more like saying that if we forego the option to resume and finish the Bengals v. Bills, it would make no difference as to what 7 teams make the playoffs, but it could result in different seedings based on win percentage and tiebreakers than it would be if game were played.

I think the accommodations are about the idea that it is not impossible to order the game to be played to a result. What are the reasons weighing in favor of ordering the game to be played to a result and what are the reasons weighing in favor of not playing.

Maybe the fact that Chiefs had lost head to head to both teams and had hosted the last 4 AFC Championship affected the willingness to make an accommodation about venue for AFC Championship.

Hypothetically if the Bills Bengals game were played to result after week 18, Chiefs would not be assured the #1 seed with a win over Raiders and a loss to Raiders would put Chiefs at risk of being the #3 seed.

If you listen to the Dr's press conference they went through the timeline.

They got him to the hospital and followed procedures by sedating and controlling body temp. They knew that night with the timeline his chances for living were high and a full recovery probable based on the timeline. His breathing, oxygen, lungs all started improving at that point and were getting better hourly. His chances of living and recovering were higher than 50% when he got to the hospital, for all cases of cardiac arrest when AED and CPR are used within 3 minutes survival is 58%, when they are young and healthy, it is higher, when it was caused by a blow to the chest and not an underlying condition, even higher. Again, if the right medical needs are done quickly. I even referred that I expected a full recovery possible that night in the GDT for this game.

Jettio just lives to argue. I swear he's not even a Chiefs fan.

[BossChief]

It could have been worse, but it sucks getting screwed.

Being completely honest, though..it’s not going to matter. Cincy is going to dismantle Buffalo when they play in the division round and then we will very likely be facing Cincy.

[NJChiefsFan]

Have Zac Taylor's full quotes been discussed on here? It's hard to keep track of it all.
I absolutely loved his quote about when the league fine's them they say "hey it's the rules" but now they say "he we are changing the rules".

Probably Q..

Zac Taylor makes is very clear that the NFL did the Bengals no favors by not following their own rules for playoff scheduling. pic.twitter.com/eHJ63IQOTy

just like the officiating... it's a judgement call.

[gold_and_red]

What if the NFL's master plan was to actually help the Bengals through convenient penalties on their opponents? They have already sensed public sentiment on how that team got screwed for playing nice. Everyone is tired of KC and Buf was never supposed to win after such adversity and refusal to resume a critical game.
All offseason is about Burrow being the next Brady and will Mahomes ever beat him. Those narratives work for the league.

They should have had that be a neutral site

It’s hard to understand why this potential matchup will not use a coin flip to determine the venue.

I am able to understand that the Chiefs caught a break.

How did they catch a break? Cincy had a great chance to beat Buffalo and knock them to 3rd seed

It's total bullshit to reward Buffalo and punish Cincy and KC. KC was snatching the 1 while Cincy was taking the 2. No doubt in my mind.
