Four - Pats / Steelers / Fins / Jags Best any of those 4 can do 9-8 - worst Bal/LAC can do is 10-7

Good point - Dallas has about a 0% chance of hosting the NFCCG.

Not just yet Caesar - let's see what the Raiders can do.

Sorry, i'm wrong. Bills as #2 would play Cinci as #3 and KC as #1 would play the lowest remaining seed.

I'm predicting Steelers/Bills on WIld Card weekend - how appropriate would that be for Damar and his Pittsburgh connections.

No they still can if KC loses in the Divisional found

I'm not seeing that in the proposal ?

Atlanta works for me

Don't think so as Cinci/KC would have 1 more loss and the AFCCG would be in BUF

So if KC and the Bills both win, we are the #2 seed and get the #7 seed on Wild Card weekend ( either the Pats / Steelers / Fins / Jags ). KC gets a bye. Win that one and we're home for the Divisional round ( maybe the Bengals ) If KC and the Bills win the Divisonal round, neutral site for the AFCCG ( Indy ? ) I'm good with this ...

If McDaniel, Grier, and Boyers are all getting canned, who's the source of the rumor ? Ross' massage therapist ? Tua ?

Like the neutral site idea for the AFCC game but the BIlls might still have to return to Cinci for the divisional game if they get the #3 seed.

Awesome plan - give yourself an extra bye week by forfeiting a game.

Only the Jags if the FIns / Pats & Steelers all lose

Not happening with the Dolphins / Steelers / Titans / Jags still fighting for the #7 seed

I would think by the time the Bills might return to Paycor for a playoff game, we'd have a good picture of where Damar stands, Until then, no.

Not gonna happen - no way Bills would agree to play this Sunday on the same field where Hamlin was injured and him still in the hospital.

After further review and assuming they don't lose to the Raiders, the Chiefs would get the #1 seed by dropping the Indy game.

Not saying this would happen but what if the #1 seed in the AFC was determined by taking the best 16 games from each team ( can't throw out head to head ), apply the normal tie-break rules including HTH, conference recs and SOS. So all of the Bills & Bengals games would could and KC would lose their worst game (x/c HTH). There is no guarantee that the Bills will be in the right mindset come this Sunday and this would eliminate totally the impact of the Bills-Bengals game. Certainly, I am not thinking clearly here ...

Thanks for your opinion. There are plenty of folks who disagree with you and proposed alternate scheduling so the Bills-Bengals "regular" game can be made up.

Not singling out anyone - there is no good option. There is also no time to fit in another Bills/Bengals game if wild-card weekend is not moved. Like everyone else here, just throwing out options.

If you make the game a tie, the Chiefs would likely have the #1 seed and the Bills/Bengals would be playing wild-card weekend. One could also look on that as punishment by preventing either team from a chance at the #1 seed.

Not sure if this is behind a paywall but the BN had this story today. https://buffalonews.com/news/local/lewiston-natives-heart-stopped-while-playing-college-baseball-hes-making-a-full-recovery/article_f4bd5c12-8baf-11ed-b59c-7fb841b8ca04.html#tracking-source=mp-homepage

Nothing as you already know, but once again this is an unprecedented situation. Frankly, I don't care if the 5 teams get an extra week even if they do practice. Except for the simple fact the Bills have yet to practice this week ...
