Well the idea of going back to Cincy is not something I want the players to mentally deal with
Ehh you never know what can happen. if Lamar can play, Ravens could take Cincy in Wild Card
100% disagree. Call the game No Contest.
Go by winning % (KC likely gets 1)
Split 1 seed benefits or AFC title neutral site
I still say my idea of Coin Flip best of 3 to decide Bills Bengals is a simple and fair idea that has no real negative or positive effect on other teams. (Bills win coin flips, KC loses 1 seed….but 50/50 they would have anyway)
KC would have higher win % if they beat Raiders. Then:
1.) AFC Champ at Neutral site if CIN or BUF play KC
And/Or
2.) 1 Seed KC splits benefits with 2 Seed.
Selects BYE or Home Field. 2 Seed gets whatever they don’t take.
Here’s an idea. (Not saying I like it)
NFL would like it. More $$$
Add an 8th team.
Division winners all get a Bye.
1, 2, 3, 4: BYE
5 vs 8
6 vs 7
1 vs 6/7/8
2 vs 5/6/7
3 vs 4
This would be nice for us because it guarantees we get something if we win Sunday.
Let's say they announce this before Saturday and KC loses.
Do the Bills take the Bye?
The emotional and mental aspect everyone on that field went through FAR outweighs it.......
If anything, the Bills and Bengals need a Bye week before their playoff games
Really depends on any announcements / outcome of Saturday's game.
Also a reason you play your starters in our case could be to get the nerves / anxiety / stress out of their system before a playoff game
