Can’t be the 1 (though even if they had beat Buffalo they needed help) and chances of being 2 aren’t great IMO. And despite being division champs they can’t rest guys because they aren’t guaranteed a home playoff game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iknowcool Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I'm cool with this. I know it isn't perfect, but the NFL was in a tough spot. And the fact that in the NFL Gen alone, you had like multiple people supporting 4 different ideas should tell you all you need to know about the position the league was in. Hopefully it will never come down to this again but as it stands it was about as good as can be expected. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in either situation the site should be neutral because otherwise it’s basically assuming that Buffalo would have beat the Bengals.

Buffalo would be 13-3 and the Chiefs 13-4. Buffalo has the head to head even if they had lost to Cincy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they may not get the home game in the playoffs, but they do get the lower draft position, the privilege of playing a first place schedule next year and uh... baseball caps and t-shirts! Bengals should be angered by this proposal, TBH. They deserve better for how they handled all of this. nfl is secretly livid that Zac Taylor ignored their order to begin warming up to resume in 5 minutes, instead offering a mutual walkoff to Sean McDermott. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming either team would have won that game becomes problematic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKillerNacho Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 honestly, if it was determined the game could not be resumed, it would've been simpler to just give them both a tie than all this mumbo jumbo nonsense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wackywabbit Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 So we are going to lose what would have been a nice January cold weather AFCCG in Buffalo/KC/Cincy to a dome or warm weather city aren't we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
