The owners voted on this
Is there any way to tell how the owners voted? Seems like the cincy coaches are pretty displeased I’m curious if their owner voted in favor of the rule changes

I saw Pittsburgh named as a likely option
I hope it’s there to make these chiefs fans even angrier lol. Pitt is much closer to buffalo

Eagles have been losin, chiefs have looked bad. It’s gotta be either bengals or bills at this point

We are currently pissed KC is getting the bye when we have the edge in the 1 seed. At least I know I am.
KC is pissed that there was a decent chance the Bills could lose to the Bengals and give them control of 1 seed again.
Both teams have something to be pissed about, but you guys are saying the Chiefs fans shouldn't be pissed for some reason?
Yes they'd be pissed they lost 1 seed because of a coin but at least it wouldn't be some indecisive arbitrary changing of the seeding rules.
I honestly don’t think the chiefs have anything to be pissed about…unless they have a crystal ball and could’ve guaranteed the bills were going to lose the bengals game. That’s where the chiefs fans are coming from with being pissed and it’s ridiculous imo. Both teams were easily moving the ball and the bengals had an extra possession. Bills definitely could’ve double dipped before/after halftime and picked up 14 points so even a 14-3 lead would not have been any type of panic situation.
if there was no freak injury, the game was going to continue, and you offered Andy Reid this same deal early in the first quarter he would take it every single time. They traded a very sizable chance at no bye/no home field advantage for the 1 seed nearly guaranteed and all they gave up was a couple specific potential iterations of the AFC championship being played at a neutral site. If the bills don’t make it, the chiefs got the one seed/bye/home field advantage for free.
and if they truly believe cincy is that much better of a team than us that our loss the other night was guaranteed, they have nothing to worry about at all most likely. We’re all probably going to win and then we would get cincy in the divisional round and lose and it will be business as usual in arrowhead if cincy is the better team

Thanks, I'm not a doctor either but the ER doc I work with thought it at least appeared to be a classic example of CC with the way it went down. Certainly we don't know the cause yet, but I have trouble agreeing with your docs that CC recurrence would be an extremely low probability for a professional football player. If they don't have a way to prevent recurrence, I'd say end of career.
When I read that bit you’re responding to I think they meant it as more of a probabilistic statement like ‘what are the odds this freak injury happens to the same player twice’.
I don’t think you’re at an any higher or lower risk of recurrence after going through this once. (Assuming he makes a full recovery)

The Chiefs would ideally want the chance to have both. Not sure why you guys don't understand that "they should be happy with what they came away with" isn't really a winning argument.
The solution the NFL gave hurts and helps each team respectively which was their strategy. So every team has something to be thankful for and something to be pissed about.
Like I said earlier they should have either played the Bills/Bengals game or flipped a coin to determine the result and not changed the rules to help/hurt teams.
They nearly have both anyway with virtually zero risk of losing them lol. And a buffalo kc afc championship which may or may not even happen is at a neutral site it’s not like it’s in buffalo. I just don’t understand where you’re coming from. If you flipped the situation kc fans would be pissed we were getting the bye when they had the edge in the 1 seed and an act of god canceled a game. Even more pissed than they are right now I’d wager
you have chosen to say the actual winning argument isn’t relevant when it very much is 😂. It has nothing to do with anyone else not understanding anything. If you flipped a coin to decide the winner of the game and we win it, kc would’ve been pissed that they lost the 1 seed because of a coin.

Just now, What a Tuel said:
It really isn't difficult to understand, you are right. Just flip the situation in your mind. If the Bills were 14-3 and the Chiefs were 13-3 and the NFL told us we don't get home field advantage because the Chiefs didn't play one game, we'd be absolutely 100% furious. There is zero doubt about that.
I have flipped the situation and I/chiefs fans would see it as a bills gift too if we were the recipient of their situation. They got a free half game boost and the bills now have a very small chance of getting home field/a bye. And the alternatives were forcing them to play twice the amount of games as everyone else in the last week or so of the season or everyone but buffalo and cincy gets an extra bye week. All profit for kc…they benefitted big time from this situation

You are already getting upset at even the notion. Yes we controlled our own destiny. That wasn't the point. Being told we must split the benefits of the 1st seed because we don't know the outcome of a game another team played is complete and utter BS. That is what is happening right now with the Chiefs. If they win this weekend they proved they are 14-3, but the Bills have not proved they are 14-3.
How is that not the point? Lol that is literally the only reason the nfl is considering doing this. The chiefs upgraded from a ‘50% chance to lose the bye and home field advantage’ to ‘getting the bye and buffalo vs kc at a neutral site if that happens’. It’s an absolute steal for kc

To be fair, if KC against Denver was canceled and never played and the NFL told us that we needed to share the #1 seed benefits as a result, I'd be pretty annoyed too.
They shouldn't be trying to divy up the benefits "fairly". They should just attribute a W/L/T to the bengals bills game by whatever means they want (I'd prefer actually playing it) and then following existing seeding protocol.
Once the playoffs occur, we all know that whatever team loses and didn't have one of the benefits they should have, there is going to be a lot of complaining.
We would’ve been in the driver seat for the 1 seed before kc and Denver was canceled, that’s a completely different scenario. If we were a half game back from the 1 seed when the bills bengals game was canceled, there’s no way the nfl would be considering this. Also we didn’t play Denver this year. You’ve got the optics of both buf and cincy beating kc this season at play too.
They should honestly be pretty thankful, if the nfl forced us to play this game it would’ve been awful optics wise but there’s a pretty good chance the chiefs would’ve lost the bye and home field advantage. That was a 50/50 game at worst even with the way it was going for the cincy offense. Josh Allen with good pass blocking and a running game is pretty much unstoppable. The cincy RT situation is an absolute timebomb…I think it would’ve been a shootout with a few big sacks of joe burrow late. Their oline was holding like crazy that first drive and a half

A straight beat down? Lol that was going to be a close game for sure. Idk what’s with fans overreacting to the first couple drives…even our own fans 😂. We give up a decent amount of points in the first quarter of games then the defense really stiffens up as the game goes on. And on the offensive side, when we can run the football we are pretty much unstoppable. Our offensive line was whooping their banged up defensive line. That game was almost certainly headed for 14-10 at the end of the first quarter

I usually don’t waste my time on mean people like you. But you’ll soon realize that we’ve been screwed royally and it’ll be too late. This is our year.
The bills and bengals knew the consequences and made the right decision not to continue the game anyway. If they tried to give the bills a loss I might be closer to agreeing with you. Both teams made sacrifices and showed an incredible amount of class in a terrible situation and the NFL is doing its best to continue the season. I think it would be cruel if they forced the bills to continue that game honestly

No. Both would be 12-4, but Bills would have tiebreaker.
Do you happen to know what tiebreaker it is? The ESPN playoff machine has cincy as the 2 seed if that’s the case but it could be a quirk with strength of victory because the final game obviously doesn’t have a winning margin associated with it yet

Sounds like they want to play if you heard the press conference from today…they want to go out and win it for damar. If they didn’t get the good news we heard today things would certainly be different

Not saying we would have looked as inept as we did through 9 minutes, but they were attacking our weakness, the secondary. They have talented receivers, and a running game..With a fearless, accomplished QB, they’re a handful.They couldn’t stop us either so it might have come down to turnovers or keeping it close and getting the ball last.
Yea we were blitzing a lot though and we would not have continued blitzing if our guys were just getting held and nothing was being done about it. So it’s pretty hard to extrapolate that offensive drive and a half from the bengals into a full game. The defensive philosophy absolutely would’ve changed. Our defense always improves as the game goes on too
I think it would’ve been a shootout with the refs continuing to swallow their whistles on holds on the OL and the bengals are more likely to give up a big sack/turnover. I still liked our chances…our oline was steamrolling them and we must’ve had some faith in the defense to not go for that 4th and 3. It’s impossible to say though.
I don’t see cincy navigating their way through the afc playoffs…they’re loaded at the skill positions but pretty weak in the trenches due in large part to some key injuries. I’d be more worried about kc still who is much stronger in the trenches. They’re both good teams though no question

My problem with the defense on the 1st two drives was Burrow had time to throw and our corners with Johnson in nickel, couldn’t cover these talented receivers. If we get them again, Sean and Frazier will have to mix in some zone and rush 3 or 4 tops on passing situations. We are not a team that slows receivers at the line and we cannot expect these corners to to handle man coverage on all of these top vertical threats, along with a pass catching Hurst at TE. Winning a shootout and or the turnover battle, seems like our best chance. This team is a tougher matchup than KC.
We were testing their patchwork oline and winning imo but not getting the calls. The bengals oline was holding like crazy. Either we would’ve started going home as the game went on or Frazier would’ve gone away from the blitz…either way that game was gonna change. It’s impossible to predict what would’ve happened though of course.

I’ve been trying to explain to my buddies who are not bills fans the difference between a tie and a no contest as far as playoff seeding goes and it would be wild if the chiefs and raiders tie making that a huge deal

Well I believe the solution being bandied about by Scheffter and others about the 1 an 2 seeds having a choice between a bye and Home field is a real fair possibility.
This seems like the best solution…chiefs will pick the bye and will be on the road if they see the bills or bengals. I doubt they go through with it though

You can lose at home. You can NOT lose if you don’t have to play.
True but being at home gives you an edge in the game you are more likely to lose in the second round. I think most teams would pick the bye but it’s the most fair thing I’ve heard. I wonder how they decide who gets to pick though…I’d assume kc has the first crack

They get to 8-3 and then lose to
A) the best team in the NFC right now, possibly the NFL, in the Niners away
B) a more talented, though to this point underperforming, Chargers
C) arguably outplayed, but lost to the Bills away
D) packers in a game where Tua played in the 2nd half with a concussion without anyone realizing it, and having basically the worst half of his career likely due to the concussionE) The pats without a QB
Yes they have a losing streak, but this isn’t choking. They’re losing to teams that are more talented or when they didn’t have a healthy Tua.
If going 0-4 against the 49ers,chargers,bills, and packers is a foregone conclusion that can be excused as easily after the fact as you are making it sound, you need to fire your coach. If they weren’t playing a third place schedule, that would’ve added even more matchups against playoff caliber teams that they would’ve lost if they are expected to lose games like that.
Also, they got lucky running into quite a few very injured teams themselves so their injury excuse isn’t as strong as you think imo. First bills matchup and the ravens game were definite losses for them if we are normalizing team’s injury situations. Bengals game tua was struggling just as much or more so than bridgewater did in the second half. I’d give them the Vikings win and pats win but take away the bills and ravens win and they’d be right back where they started. Tua would’ve absolutely struggled against the jets
it’s a monumental collapse finishing 0-6 when you need just one more win to make the playoffs
id assume most of the firing talk is based on them wanting their Sean Payton and Brady plan again though and not so much them thinking McDaniel is an bad coach.

McDaniel would be a HC in approximately 10 minutes after getting fired.
would be monumentally stupid
I doubt it, unless they let him take tyreek and waddle with him for free lol. Someone would probably give him a chance but it’s far from a guarantee The dude is massively underperforming with a fringe superbowl caliber roster I don’t understand why people can’t see that. Even if you swap tua for prime Brady, that defense that’s loaded with talent still can’t stop anybody.
If McDaniel got hired by someone else he would 100% be going to a team with significantly less talent than this dolphins team he has won 8 games with

is there anyone out there who thinks this dude is a better coach than flores? I think (and not necessarily wrongly based on the trend, but clearly not right in this case) a lot of owners value Offensive minds for HC over Defensive. Putting too many eggs in that basked gets you to fire a coach life flores and replace him w the dude miami got (who isn't terrible, just not as good and his youth means he can lose the team faster).
did stuff ever come out that flores was a huge jerk or had battles w the owner or something?
I don’t mean to brag but I predicted all of this in the offseason 😂. Big step forward for their offense and big step backwards for their defense which would end up with the same results
if I had to guess, there was a battle between Flores and the gm/owner about his treatment of tua even though Fitzpatrick was clearly the better qb.
i don’t think they’ll end up firing McDaniel, I’m assuming they’d let him scapegoat the DC first. But it’s hard to say because they were 8-3 and nearly all the teams competing for the wildcard imploded. They only needed to go 1-5 down the stretch to make the playoffs and if they can’t do that some tough questions need to be asked.

To be 27th in points allowed with a defense with Phillips, Wilkins, Chubb, Howard and Holland is pretty much a joke. I also just hate those heavy blitz defenses. It is really hard to be successful playing that style of defense in the modern NFL. The only top 10 blitz team with a top 10 defense is Denver. You look at most of the top Ds... 49ers, Eagles, Bills, Jets... they are in the bottom 10 or 12 of blitz %.
It really is pretty pathetic…idk why this constantly gets overlooked. The average fan seems to only care about offense. If he gets fired that is going to be why. That defense is loaded with playermakers and I’m having trouble thinking of a defensive depth chart of that quality performing this badly ever.
Flores never made it to the end of the rebuild but if you gave him chubb,armstead,Connor Williams, and tyreek hill I’m certain he would’ve won more than 8 games in a 17 game season no matter who the qb was

I don't think this would be smart, I think McDaniel is a good coach. I think he outcoached our staff (a very good staff) in both games.
He absolutely did not the first game. That bills roster in the second half of that game was one of the worst squads fielded by anyone in the league due to all the injuries and they barely hung on to a 2 point win. We were missing like 13 starters by that point.
Second game is debatable…I’m not sure if he ‘outcoached’ us or our players had a bad night tackling.
either way, he’s a good offensive coordinator at best. Mcdaniel has done the anti-Flores and improved the offense but absolutely torpedoed the defense which has resulted in the same results Flores used to get with a much less talented roster

They get tons of pi calls when they’re on offense too so it’s a double whammy
