KC gets home field through Playoffs correct? I agree with whatever the league and teams decide here for seeding. Trying to play/finish the Bengals game is just not a good idea. Just figure some way to seed the teams thats agreed upon and let it work itself out from there. This isn’t about the Bills getting the 1 seed, its about finding a way to move forward that’s fair and doesn’t cause the Bills players any more pain than they already have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KC gets home field through Playoffs correct? The main ideas are not counting KC's game against Denver last week towards seeding, using a random number generator 1-17 to not count one if KC's games towards seeding, or Bills-Bengals play a standalone game in week 19 and push the WC round back a week. I don't see anyone discussing winning percentage being used. Edited January 4, 2023 by Big Turk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point.. if that’s the case then the Bills could rest players, which may give the Pats an easy in. That probably = lack of equity for some team. In that sense NE has “ earned” the scenario they’re in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they may need to vacate the BAL game for BAL since they play CIN this week. That’s quite the rabbit hole at that point. I am pleased that it doesn’t sound like the league is trying to do everything. The major effects are the top 3 seeds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LyndonvilleBill Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 7 minutes ago, Steptide said: I'll throw an idea out that I had a few years ago during covid. Sounds stupid but it's simple and effective- Have a field goal shoot out. Each teams kicker starts at the 5 yard line. For every kick made, the ball moves back 10 yards. First kicker to miss, that team loses. Do a best of 7 or something. Bass vs whoever Bengals kicker is 🤷 Said a similar thing earlier in the playoff thread.😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if Cincy wins then there isn't an issue, so maybe the NFL is hoping that is the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red King Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Instead of a full game, have the two play an OT using college rules? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue would be if they win they'll be 12-4 and if KC loses + BUF wins, the Bengals Bills game would be the determiner of the 1 seed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league tries to maintain competitive balance by schedule kickoffs at the same time etc but this isn’t going to be perfect to all involved . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t think playing that game alone in its own week is going to be chosen as the solution. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lagoon Blues Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) Ha. Never thought of the FG battle. That would get my vote and be AWESOME. The ratings on that 30 minute TV slot would be through the roof.(Though probably end up underwhelming as someone would miss the 1st one.)
