Chaos Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 The bye in round one is probably more meaningful than home field advantage. The AFC should add an eigth team and remove the bye. And the championship game should be on a neutral field if it involves two of the three top seeds (assuming bills, bengals, chiefs win this weekend). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This meeting might be a sales pitch and looking for anybody who objects. Yea you’re right.

Cheektowaga Chad Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 What would the league do/ how would they handle it if they knew this would happen before week 1? With the knowledge you couldn't reschedule or want to reschedule There is potential a solution when you look strictly how the league makes the schedule Teams play 1 cross conference division in full, 1 in conference division in full and then the corresponding finishing positions of the other 2 in conference division to go along with 2 games against your own division So my proposal would be to eliminate the corresponding games for the chiefs and ravens that resulted the Bills Bengals game was The bills Bengals was the 1st place vs 1st place game against the divisions set to play each other So the Chiefs would eliminate the Titans game (1st place vs in conference division the afc west was playing) and the ravens would eliminate their game against the jets (4th place vs the in conference division the afc north played ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seventeen Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) 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 ...

Billznut Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) Well at least we now know we won’t have to go to Arrowhead for a AFC championship game. Win Sunday, get the 2 seed, have two home playoff games and then AFC Championship game on neutral field if KC also makes it that far.

IronyAbounds Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I'm an optimist. Raiders beat KC on Saturday, Ravens beat Bengals and Bills beat Pats. Makes the Buffalo-Cincinnati game irrelevant, Bills get home field throughout, and the only remaining thought about that game will be thinking how miraculous it will be when we witness Damar's complete recovery.

Billznut Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) 4 minutes ago, aristocrat said: Root for the raiders Agreed this would be best. We could have home field throughout. But as it stands now with this ruling, if approved even if KC beats Vegas, which is likely, we no longer will have to go to Arrowhead for AFC championship game. We can have two home playoff games and then neutral field vs KC. After everything that has transpired this year for Buffalo, I think this new path is certainly favorable to going to Arrowhead again. I’m sure KC won’t like this ruling one bit. Edited January 6, 2023 by Billznut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DapperCam Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Honestly kind of bummed about this solution. I was looking forward to possibly buying tickets to the AFC championship game in Buffalo this year. Pretty good odds if we make it we will be playing the Bengals or Chiefs.
