TheKillerNacho Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 3 hours ago, BillSabre said: I don’t think anybody should assume Bills or Bengals would’ve won one way or the other, that’s the point. Because the NFL didn’t declare it a tie, it allows the Bills and Bengals a neutral site for the championship if they end up playing KC. The byproduct of using that formula is that Cincinnati has to have a Coin flip with Baltimore for HFA in the wild card (if they meet). So anybody arguing that Cincinnati would’ve/could’ve/should’ve beat the Bills last week should be pretty confident that they beat the depleted Ravens week 18 and POOF, no coin flip anyway but they still get a neutral game if they play KC in the championship. Nobody really benefits from the game not being played because all top 3 seeds and Baltimore had a potential outcome taken away from them. So all four teams basically got a bone thrown to them, if you will. KC gets the bye (with a win) Buff/Cin get a neutral site in chip if facing KC instead of having to go to Arrowhead (with wins) Baltimore gets a chance at playing at home in Wildcard game if playing Cin (with a win) The bolded is what I was arguing, and it is a statement of fact, it cannot be debated. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All sorts of changes on the fly mandated by the league. and now that we know Hamlin seems to be ok (obviously he has a ways to go/likely wont play again, and this sounds cold but we have seen career ending injuries before), Buffalo should accept the loss. Putting together a contingency plan for a nightmare scenario like this can be addressed in the offseason.

DontTazeMeBro Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) Even if they go with the coin flip idea, Baltimore still needs to rest starters. Even if they win with Huntley, they won’t, it’s a 50/50. Take the rest week and pray Jackson plays in the playoffs.

WheatieMan Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Get rid of the coinflip and Just give them a home game. Let both teams rest up this weekend. Buffalo also a slight advantage knowing that they'll be playing for either a bye or a neutral field game. Cinci has almost no benefit at all when you factor in the schedule next year and the difficulty of their potential WC opponent. The NFL doesn't need to feature this game in the 4:00pm ET window. You have other options, including the Seattle game. One option would be to give CBS the Packer game (might be too late) and put the Bills/Pats in prime time.

aceinthehouse Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I'm hoping they go with the 8th seed for both conferences. Not because I care there's any resolution to the scheduling problem. But only because my homerism wants Washington to have 1 more shot at the Playoffs. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was definitely changed because Buffalo lost don’t get it twisted. Bengals literally went to OT the next week and won despite losing the coin toss. They certainly didn’t change it for them. How does this help the Chiefs the most? It helps Buffalo much more in hypothetical situations and completely screws over the Bengals, when there’s rules already in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr LBC Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 15 hours ago, squire12 said: Geographically, INDY is the like choice. certain to not be involved in a playoff game that weekend. Other options might be Detroit, Chicago, TEN, CAR, ATL Chicago has bad field surface and outside and both Detroit//TEN could be in playoffs. Carolina is further away as is ATL Vegas would also be an option. Not a likely one, but certainly a possible one. New/indoor stadium. Travel hub. Team already eliminated from playoff contention.
