Hostility during the investigation process was also mentioned though.

Well they don't really have to anymore since they were fired

If KC is playing Cinci that means we are out

The town is already booked up for a volleyball tournament, the convention center (right next to the stadium) and most hotels already rented

added Las Vegas as well, that sounds pretty fun

If this is about the blue uniforms I'm gonna be pretty pissed

It seems crazy to me for Hyde to play against the Dolphins, but we definitely could use him (if it's safe and he's healthy) from next week on.

Ha, I've got rooms booked in Atlanta, Pittsburgh and Buffalo for that whole weekend Hoping to hear some news soon...

This seems like the equivalent of the city of Buffalo releasing some renderings of a downtown stadium while the team, county and state are in agreement to build the stadium in OP.

Still no actual decision on the championship game location and this thread title still sucks.

SOLD

You said vs any other team, yeah, obviously the outcome would have been different had the Bills played and won that game.

Which would also have happened regardless of the outcome of the Bills / Cinci game with the way the rest of the season played out.

I think we had a lot more input into the decision to cancel the game than has necessarily been reported.

The Bills also made the decision to not play the deciding game. Of course I'm not advocating they should have done anything differently. But I do think the solution they implemented is as about as fair as it could have been.

KC also lost the possibility of hosting the AFC Championship game, which they would have done if we had lost to Cinci (certainly a possibility) and which should have happened according to the rules that were in place. Buffalo, KC and Cinci can all feel like they lost something with the solution that was implemented, which to me indicates it's about as fair as it could have been.

Can we get this thread title updated, it's a bit misleading and I keep forgetting and checking to see where the game is going to be played.

I agree with everything, except I choose to be pissed off about the loss to the Vikings, mostly because I sat through it in person and it kind of ruined my birthday weekend.

Not only that, but if we played the bye week while the NFC played (as had been proposed), we would potentially give the AFC an extra bye for the playoffs, then lose out on our bye before the Super Bowl while the NFC got to keep it.

It's nationally televised, prime time refers to a specific time slot.

Except we would potentially put ourselves at a bigger disadvantage by effectively giving the rest of the conference a bye while we played that week (especially in the event we didn't win, which has to at least be considered.)

1PM on a Sunday is certainly not a primetime game I also don't really care, but c'mon, words have meanings.

I can't go this weekend, selling for a bit below what I'd ask on TM, and you can save on their fees as well. Would prefer to sell to a regular TBD poster. DM me.

Understood that there is no source, I tend to believe they wouldn't have included it as pure speculation, but could be. I'd also say if you asked the locker room, there would be at least a large handful of players (my guess would be a majority, but it's just a guess) that would choose to not replay it and stay the 2 seed (especially considering not having to play in KC.) Yes, we lost the chance for the 1 seed, we also pretty easily could have wound up as the 3 seed and had to play in Cinci (again) and KC, while giving KC and the rest of the AFC an extra bye week.
