THE DUKE Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Do the 1 seeds really want 21 days between games? That almost seems like a detriment. It wouldn't affect the Bills/Bengals if they got it, but that's it. If i'm the owner for the Chiefs/Eagles/Cowboys, I don't like that idea at all. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: NFC teams that survive the wild card playoffs would get a bye in week 20 then in week 21 all teams resume playoffs. Sounds like the NFL wants the Bills/Bengals to finish to complete a full schedule but we'll see. Sounds like they are over complicating things to me. Apparently their biggest worry is making sure they have multiple games going each week. Still better than not finishing the regular season in full though. I still believe the full week push back is better and keeps a level playing field for all playoff teams. Imagine the draw/viewers a Bills vs Bengals game would get as a stand-alone game for week 19 after all that has happened and all that would be at stake. 😳 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like this route also likely screws the Bengals more than anyone. Assuming the Chiefs win this weekend. The Bengals would be the only team to definitely not get a bye and maybe the Bills depending on the outcome. Makes no sense to me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You prefer coin flip or making up that game as a playoff game? I prefer them cancelling the game and moving on. We all knew the ramifications when they chose not to finish the game. Unfortunate but that was their decision. Instead, you are possibly screwing over many other teams to try and right things for one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I think this more from the NFL stand point then it is appeasing the Bills and Bengals. I highly doubt the Bills or Bengals are seeking special treatment. I would also venture to guess there are members of the Bills who would rather forfeit the last two games then go through all these scenarios.

True, but if excessive rest is the only compromise, well, it could be worse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ensures all games are played but it does create interesting scenarios with the bye weeks. I think I'd be good with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure NFC teams that plan on meeting Philly aren't good with Jalen Hurts getting 3 weeks rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malfatron Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 The schedule isnt completely fair to start with so they should just do something reasonable and move on 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
