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).

And that was my point, there are other factors besides "OMG THE NFL HATES THE CHIEFS!!!" which so many people default to, here or for their own team.

"Hate" is a strong word in this context. "Not enjoying the next dynasty being smack dab in the middle of flyover country" might be a little more accurate.

Yea, I bet being the day care provider for petegz, wisconsin chief and ARROW2 can make understanding concepts pretty difficult.

You have my sympathy. While you're here, can you explain winning percentage to them? Good luck.

Indianapolis refuses to host AFCCG due to a "busy convention month".

No one can yet explain why a league which supposedly rigged everything for years for its most bankable stars, even one in Indianapolis, is now supposedly conspiring every minute to suppress and ruin the hopes of its most bankable new(ish) star.

When did the Bills tell us to go **** ourselves exactly?

You do realize the Chiefs’ proposal was never even voted on because it was clear it wouldn’t have the support of at least 24 of the owners?

How do you know the Bills weren’t one of a group of, say, 16 teams that was in favor?

I’m gonna guess what the answer is: you don’t know. You have no idea. You’ve created a narrative in your mind that’s false without even knowing how it played out.

There was some sentiment for making the Chiefs’ proposal apply only to postseason games, when the stakes are higher and the concern about longer games is lessened. But there was some reluctance to have different sets of overtime rules for regular season and postseason games.
Atlanta Falcons President Rich McKay, the chairman of the league’s competition committee, said the Chiefs will resubmit their proposal next year for consideration for the 2020 season. If there is a change made then to the NFL’s overtime format, it could apply to postseason games only.
“These are rules that typically take time,” McKay said.

I like the Vegas idea. It's a good vacation place for everyone involved, including the potential of a Cincy & KC neutral site game. Buffalo, Cincy, & KC fans can all enjoy some time out of the winter zone in a warm weather, sunshine place like Vegas with a lot of fun stuff to do.

You've kind of been full of piss and vinegar lately. Everything alright?

It was an honest mistake. I could have sworn Mike Florio/PFT made a big deal out of the Bills' proposal back when it was in discussion and getting voted on.

I apologize, dude. There’s just so much anger being thrown at the Bills team when I’m not convinced they’ve literally done anything to deserve it.

Their fans? Absolutely **** them. But I don’t think the team has done anything to deserve such vitriol.

I still love you.

I also could have sworn it was known that Bills were one of 2 teams that voted against the Chiefs proposal. Maybe it wasn't an official vote?

If only 2 teams voted against it, it would’ve passed. They don’t seek unanimity.

The NFL isn’t making any changes this offseason to its overtime rules.
A proposal by the Kansas City Chiefs to guarantee each team at least one possession in overtime was not ratified by owners during their one-day meeting Wednesday at a Florida resort. The Chiefs’ proposal came back up for consideration after being discussed and tabled at the annual league meeting in March in Phoenix.
No vote was taken by the owners Wednesday on the proposal because of a lack of support. It was clear that the measure would not generate the 24 votes among the 32 teams necessary for ratification.
The Chiefs made their proposal after losing last season’s AFC championship game on a touchdown by the New England Patriots on the opening possession of overtime. That is the lone scenario by which an overtime game can end after one possession.
The NFL is already considering tweaks to its replay-for-interference measure
Chiefs officials had said they made their proposal out of a sense of fairness, not merely in reaction to the outcome of the AFC title game. Supporters of the proposal contended that such an evenhanded approach to overtime has become more important than ever in this age of high-powered NFL offenses, given the increased likelihood that the team that wins the coin flip to begin overtime will be able to drive to a first-possession touchdown.

Interesting how many teams voted for this neutral site, but it feels like most don’t want to host it.

That outcome happened at least twice within a handful of seasons, during two of the biggest games in recent history.

I think it's logical NOT to change the rules just because something happens every blue moon, but to look at changing the rules if that thing starts happening with some regularity. I also think it's logical to not give into the first team that complains about the rules because it negatively impacted them, but to look at rules when multiple teams start complaining.

And I have no idea how that works behind the scenes with voting and what not either... if it's something that barely didn't pass before and then passed later, or if it was just a unilateral decision by someone.

I just feel like it's more complicated than "**** you, Chiefs" and east coast bias.

Just like a lot of this crap, where every team's message board is loaded with "our team got ****ed", when really only the Bengals should be saying that at all (beyond the NFL not following their own rules, of course).

Bills voted against it first time......

Was it known if the Bills had been against it? Perhaps that's where that idea came from.
