Like somebody else said, had the Bills been up 21-3 when Hamlin went down, you can bet your ass they would have completed the game later.

****ers.

non stop flights are similar in price for both cities based on my searching. i am not sure exactly how pricing flights works, but if you're seeing one city get increasingly higher, it's likely the result of more bookings taking place. if that's true, it could mean more bills fans are buying than chiefs fans right now. :(

It's weird to me that the NFL has so much interest in a small burned out rust belt city.

Seems like a pretty big gamble for anybody to buy tickets to Atlanta based on this. There are plenty of scenarios that various teams could host the AFCCG. Only one where it ends up in Atlanta.

Feel good story.

That said, Atlanta is probably the "fairest" place for this bullshit. Dome for all the high rollers, hub airport (a nod to the "little people" that have to fly commercial), and easy travels to the TV crews.

Exactly

Nice! that's only a 4.5 hour drive for me so I'll definitely be there.

Atlanta is a connection city too. So flights are selling daily out of KC and Buf to the ATL with somewhere else as their final destination, primarily warm weather locations in the winter.

For those that plan to trek to Atlanta, here's a list of fully refundable hotel options within walking distance from Mercedes-Benz Stadium. You can get all of your money back in the event that the Chiefs don't advance past the divisional round as long as you cancel end of day of the dates listed below.

Hotels are going fast, one of the Hyatts (Centennial) is already fully booked.

The dates below are for people who intend to check in Saturday and check out Monday. If you plan to arrive Sunday, additional options might be available (and you'll also be able to cancel by Jan 22nd instead of 21st for those labeled as such below.)

Can cancel by Jan 25th:
Hyatt Regency ($217/night)
Motel 6 ($123)
Courtyard By Marriott ($302)
Barclay Hotel ($105)
W Atlanta Downtown ($277)*
Ritz-Carlton ($457)*

Can cancel by end of day Jan 21st (ie after Chiefs outcome known if it's a Saturday game):
Crowne Plaza ($136)
Staybridge Suites ($141)*
Holiday Inn Express & Suites ($159)

* = limited inventory.

The following hotels are NOT within walking distance, but are 2-10 miles away from the stadium. in many cases they are cheaper. all of these have fully refundable booking options with option to cancel by Jan 25th:

grand hyatt in buckhead ($169)
holiday inn express - emory ($187)
embassy suites hilton midtown ($276)
kimpton sylvan hotel ($179)

hotel indigo atlanta midtown ($194)
the georgian terrace hotel ($221)
artmore hotel ($103)
holiday inn express & suites airport ($134)
staybridge suites airport ($142)

This won't matter. Cincinnati will be coming to Arrowhead.

Toronto is the answer to that.

About 2 Hours from Buffalo, and a lot of Bills fans there due to proximity. Also the 4th largest population in North America (Behind Mexico City, New York, and LA)

That's just off of city proper populations, not sure on metropolitan area, but I can't imagine its too different.

Seriously?

Macaulay scary!

Hence why Toronto is a great place for an expansion franchise yet the Bills go nuts if it's mentioned.

This was it. This was the play where I knew we had something special. Now I didn't know he was going to turn out to be this good, but I vividly remember turning to my wife and saying that we've never had a QB who could make a throw like that (been watching since 1989, so I know I can't recall back past that).

Goodell is from upstate Western New York.

It would split Buffalo's fan base, same reason there probably won't ever be another Texas team even though San Antonio is a good size city. Owners won't allow it to dig into their current profits.

I think I remember the Bills playing some games in Toronto for a few years around 2010 now that I think about it.

Hopefully they will change the center logo and endzones to be chiefs and not leave it falcons.

It’s a neutral site. They’ll have one ez chiefs and one bills and the center will be an AFC or NFL logo I’d assume

you can buy fully refundable airline tickets.

Southwest, JetBlue, Delta, United, American all offer refundable options.

So using Delta as an example, if you check "refundable" you'll be offered a round-trip flight for $678.

A non-refundable ticket is 100 bucks cheaper at $578 but you're out the full amount if you can't use it.

Southwest is likely the easiest airline (but they have serious issues of late, you might have seen!)

I booked a fully-refundable flight using United.

Both are tough matchups but the bengals have our number. We’ve eliminated the bills from the postseason the past two years. We can do it again. Also, Mahomes plays really well in domes.

So we should be rooting for the Bills to beat the Bengals? Ok.

They’ll probably have a picture of Hamlin’s face as the midfield logo.

Yeah, **** that. At this point I wouldn't root for the Bills if they were playing a team of terrorists coached by Hitler.

Three losses to the Bengals each by 3 points with fluky/unlucky bullshit happening in each game… bring those bitches on again.

One thing, if the Bengals beat the Bills, at least we know we won't be purposely boned by the NFL in the AFCCG

I just hope they can pull it off with that banged up offensive line.

In fairness you once told me you’d cheer for Hitler if he were on the Chiefs and helped us to win a SB. :p

Well, in that case, it would be okay. :)

**** yes!!! My backyard!

Must've been during the Cunningham era

Could have been any era prior to Mahomes.

It's funny, people seem to forget how much being a Chiefs fan sucked before then. The lost 80s, the 90s teams that could never get over the hump or always lost in the divisional round, the endless losses to the goddamn Colts, the phantom holds, the bullshit penalties, the cooking spray, the wretched bad luck, and Dee ****ing Ford.

And now we're the devil because we won ONE Super Bowl in 50 years. 4321

1000% THIS!!!!

Wasn't that his 2nd preseason though?

[QUOTE=KCChiefsFan88;16730418]They’ll probably have a picture of Hamlin’s face as the midfield logo.[/QUOTE



Don't forget the statue too complete with goodell sporting a #3 hat and shirt, endless camera shots of Demar cheering the team on, the shooting, the snow storm, the traner's first cousin's dog dying, etc....


**** THAT SHIT!

Hitler maybe, Brady never.

If it does end up being in Atlanta let me know if you go, and I'll buy you a beer a couple beers somewhere.

That's why I don't get the hate

I would at least want to hear his Final Solution to the Bronco question.

for sure... I think I will come in Saturday afternoon. I would love to go to Arrowhead, but this would be fun!

If we go, Arrowhead Kingdom will be invading ATL!

LFG!!!!

just enjoying it while it lasts.

Preliminary planning stuff already going on with the ATL chapter.

Best blitzer ever.

perfect

There’s a Frank Reich joke hidden in here somewhere, but unfortunately it alludes me at the moment.

Fun fact: Gunther Cunningham was a late-phase addition to Operation Paperclip.

Reminds me of the Chiefs promoting world peace at the Berlin Wall.

Take that Bills Mafia.

The Blitzerkreig defense

looks like many of the fully refundable hotels are filling up. seems increasingly likely that they're not going to sell tickets to this game before it's official that there will actually be a game. was hoping chiefs fans could get a leg up on buying with a 24 hr head start on the bills.

That pass traveled a legit 73 yards in the air. There are punters that have never kicked it that far. Insane, and I'll never get tired of watching it.

I was fairly confident the Bengals would school the trash secondary of the Bills and we would be at home, but after watching that patchwork Oline last night, I think we have a better chance of being in Atlanta now. Not scared of either...

Chiefs-Bills AFC Championship Game would be in Atlanta
 

I can buy tickets tomorrow at 9 am. I have pretty good priority. I’d love to go but rest of people I normally go to games with can’t plus wife has to work. So if I buy tickets in morning I’d pass them along at cost to a chiefs fan that’s going, not gonna flip em. Trying to get as many of us there as possible. So if you’re interested drop a note but only if you’re going and a chiefs fan. May be hard to police this but I can try.

69, according to the NFL’s stats of it. I only know that because they showed a graphic of longest air-yard throws from the past several years during a Bills game.

You’re right that it was a sick throw though.

It won’t be that hard. Just try to sell to someone with a join date before 2018 and you should know for sure you have a real fan representing in the stands. Really cool of you to do as well. :thumb:

I plan on going to the Championship game whether it's in ATL or KC. Just me and the pops, unfortunately he's a Bill's fan.

While a join date prior to 2018 sounds good. I was actually on the Arrowhead Addict forum for quite some time, until that shut down and needed a new forum to lurk in. Hence the low post count and late join date!

Thanks Trivago guy!

Longtime lurker here. I am so pumped they chose my hometown for this potential game. Used to have season tickets at Arrowhead before we moved down here. Happy to make a donation to a cause of your choosing if I buy your tickets.

Bills losing to the #3 seed is just too perfect right?

I am curious how the stadium would be setup.

Chiefs the home team because they are the one seed?

Correct. With each team having an end zone painted in their colors. Bills call the toss. Chiefs pick uniforms.

Why did you feel the need to chime in. Pathetic

I had to laugh at the "according to my source...".... when you can literally watch the damn gif and see how far it was thrown.

He just can't help himself. :rolleyes:

Ackchyually....

It occurred to me that if this Atlanta game does come to pass, it would be a bit ironic, since Atlanta got screwed out of hosting the 2021 MLB All Star Game over stupid woke bullshit. Of course in that case it was strictly political.

Certainly makes me wonder if that factored into the site selection. God only knows what goes on behind the scenes.

Milkman?

The NFL will change the playoff rules again by making this a staple moving forward. Just like college having each conference championship in a predetermined location, they’ll do it for the NFC and AFC championship games.

Definitely Interested! Live about an hour and half north of Atlanta in Chattanooga. Huge chiefs fan.

I was a bit surprised that Atlanta got it, considering they just hosted the SEC Championship game and then the National Semifinal just a couple of weeks ago.

I intend on making the three hour drive to Atlanta to attend.

Only if you finally change your username to Chiefs Fan.

I am interested if you want to PM me! I'm a season ticket holder but cant purchase tickets until 1. Thanks!

And that's when I quit the NFL. Or rather, thats wjen the NFL leaves me behind Some things just need to be left alone. To me, earning HFA is one of them.

I'll change it to Football Fan with Rob Lowe wearing a NFL hat as my avatar.

I think we decided that the mods need to change his name to Ramnorix.
