    Seems like that would have been pretty hard to do when this is the first time there has ever been a MNF playoff game.

     

    They played Sunday last year. Then played TB Sunday the week after. A normal week.

    Nope:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021–22_NFL_playoffs#Monday,_January_17,_2022

    I'm kinda irritated how the winner of this game is getting absolutely hosed by the NFL, playing in SF on a short week after SF gets an extra rest day while being at home.

     

    Total screw over by the NFL.

     

    What's the point of making things "fair" with start times in week 18 if you are just going to screw a team over in the playoffs?

    In fairness, the Rams played in the MNF playoff game last year and had to travel cross country to play in Tampa the following Sunday.  Seemed to work out OK for them.

     

    That said, I don't think there should be playoff games on Monday Night.  But, I also don't see it changing anytime soon.

    00.00.99.  Clock will say zero but still .99 tenths of second before it all zeros out.  Weird but that’s the explanation i heard on a podcast a while back from an ex ref

    Yet, the game is over the instant the clock hits 0:00 in the 4th quarter.

     

    Otherwise, the Bills may have had a shot at a spike to stop the clock in week 3.

     

    Maybe that's why Dorsey was pissed.  He expected the Bills to get that extra 99/100ths of a second.

    I saw the same thing in a recent game, coach calls a TO to ice the kicker, ref runs out in front of the holder to make sure the "practice" kick can't get off.  Have never seen that in prior years.  Not sure it matters much really.

    I've always equated it to where a pitcher in baseball follows through with a pitch, even if the umpire calls time before the pitch is thrown.  As I understand it, it's a momentum thing and to stop may cause an injury, whereas simply following through with the pitch (or kick), even if it won't count, is the safer option.

    I mostly watched that to see if they would announce the playoff schedule.  Im glad I did because what a great game.  Surprised they didnt announce the schedule though.  I guess tomorrow morning?

    Could easily be announced during the postgame.

     

    My guess is, they had two potential schedules that depended on the outcome of this game.

  7. Hopefully, this will explain all of the playoff scenarios for the Bills, depending on tomorrow's game outcomes.

     

    Bills win* OR CIN Loss - Bills Clinch #2 Seed

    1:  vs MIA if MIA beats NYJ

    2:  vs PIT if MIA loses to NYJ AND PIT beats CLE

    3:  vs NE if MIA loses to NYJ AND PIT loses to CLE 

     

    Bills lose AND CIN beats BAL - Bills clinch #3 Seed

    1:  vs BAL

     

    * - If the Bills beat NE and face KC in the AFC Championship, the game will be held at a neutral site.

     

    If you're more of a visual person, here are the current flow charts for the top 3 seeds and the 7th seed.
