  1. I seem to recall saying division games worry me, no matter what. They gotta clean up their act, but that was a weird game all around. I think it was a hard reality check. Hopefully it shocks Josh into realizing he doesn't (and shouldn't) try and hero ball it the whole game. McD and Dorsey really need to have a talk with him. I still think Buffalo can beat anyone, but they need to settle down and play a disciplined game. Josh keeps going for home runs, this team's gonna Casey their way out of the playoffs.
  2. Injuries, a lot of reviews. Miami took a crap ton of timeouts (I think all three second half TOs) when they were about to get flagged for Delay of Game.
  3. Why would McD already rule him out for next week? Makes no sense. Keep the opponent guessing as long as you can. Is this confirmed?
  4. Yeah, with the AFCCG potentially on neutral ground, KC was given no advantage over the Bills. Wait. Remind me who they play again this week?
  5. As said before, we need a win and to keep as injury-free as possible. The rest is gravy.
  6. Slackers. Filthy casuals. 😉
  7. I actually did watch that. Didn't think anyone else did. 😳
  8. I mean playoff and Super Bowl wins, sure. But the 1st preseason game? Now you're asking for a lot.
  9. I count nothing as an automatic win in the playoffs. Yes, I'd prefer to play Pitt, but I'm not about to call it an auto-win.
  10. We lose tomorrow and Cincy wins, we are the 3rd seed and face the prospect of going back to Cincy to play them there. We win, and we'll be 2nd seed, and Cinci will have to come here instead. Yeah...tomorrow is kinda important.
  11. Everyone: Deep breaths. Remember, on Monday most of us were okay with BUF forfeiting. Yes, this sucks, but just remember that.
  12. Nah, that was blatent roughing. I wanted to hate the call, but...yeah.
  13. Tell Allen's ankle that.
  14. Don't the Bengals also hold the tie-breaker over us due to Strength of Victory? We could drop to 3rd seed.
  15. Ideally LV, BUF and CIN win. If that happens the playoffs behave exactly as they would have. No neutral sites, no coin flips.
  16. This "Cincy was going to win" is arrogant. Buffalo is a bend, don't break D. If they held Cincy to a field goal and Buffalo goes right down the field for a TD (BUF moved the ball real well, too) then it's a 10-10 game and BUF ultimately gets the 2nd half kickoff. This outcome was far from settled. So, stop with that nonsense. That said, CIN got hosed with this. Comparing this to using win %, the NFL standard, would have stuck them at 3rd, barring a win and a BUF loss, but they would have had the division title and hosted their first playoff game. They gain nothing, and can lose a key advantage. They have a right to be mad. KC loses as well. If they and BUF win, KC should be the 1 seed with no concessions. Now they risk having to play a CG on neutral ground. BUF ended up with an extra positive and no negatives. The chance for a neutral site AFCCG is a huge upgrade, and BUF lost nothing compared to if the win % method was instead used. So yeah, I can see why they're upset. Again, compared to the rule already on record to use win %, CIN suffered greatly, KC suffered mildly and BUF was pure profit.
  17. I grew up in Omaha, NE. Moved to Buffalo when I was 18. Trust me, we're not midwest.
  18. I still don't see how this mess is better then solving the Bills/Bengals game with a coin toss and everything going back to normal.
  19. KC loses, CIN and BUF win and this whole mess goes away for us, BUF is 1st Seed, KC 2nd, CIN 3rd. The single outlier would be KC vs. CIN would be at a neutral site.
  20. On what grounds? "The NFL has a new policy for the 2023 season. If a player is killed and resucitated on the field of play, that team is disqualified from the playoffs."? Did we fake cardiac arrest? Give him one of those pills that trigger a heart attack like in those spy movies? Some people are seriously sick.
  21. Buf is a full game ahead of them with same # of games played. The neutral site is if a team ends up a 1/2 game ahead.
  22. Hoping Bills win, KC and CIN loses, so the only ones with a right to complain is CIN.
  23. What is this talk I see about CIN not getting a home playoff game? This resolution gives CIN the division and they will host the #5 or #6 Wild Card no matter what, right?
  24. If BUF wins and KC loses, BUF will be a full game ahead with the tiebreaker. That would get them top seed regardless of how the Bengals game would have turned out. 100% lock. If BUF and KC win, KC would be a game ahead while BUF would have played one game less. There is no guarantee that KC would have won it. In other words, if both win, the BUF/CIN would certainly have mattered. If KC loses and BUF wins, the BUF/CIN game would have been meaningless. So in the case of a KC and BUF win, I would be okay with splitting the perks. If KC loses and BUF wins, I am not, because BUF will have outright won it. The former, the results of the BUF/CIN game would have mattered. With the latter it would not.
  25. I worry if KC loses and BUF wins, that now we have to give up a bye or homefield. We would be one win ahead of them with one fewer game played. How is that fair?
