If the Chiefs lose and the Bills win, then they can just cancel the Bills-Cincy game. Bills would be number 1 seed. If the Chiefs win, they control the number 1 seed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Romes Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Have to give the chiefs credit. They almost get beat by a weaker team seemingly every other week but they almost always prevail with clutch play right at the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor26 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Which is why it is so important for the NFL to announce a decision to the Bills Bengals game BEFORE this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBBills Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 TBH the best chance for the Chiefs to lose was the one spark of Russell Wilson. I guess any given Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how the Bills wouldn't be awarded the #1 seed, along with the bye and HFA if that were to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone would know what they are playing for. The game with Cincy can't be replayed. I think everyone understands that. Raiders Nation do the right thing for your Franchise, Your Fans and Number 3. Take down the Chiefs and put them on the road in the second round of the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying they WILL beat KC, but Houston took the Chiefs to OT and the Colts beat them, so it's not like it's impossible. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generic_Bills_Fan Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I guess it’s still possible if they were to take an L last week and yet still wind up ahead based on this week’s outcomes. So long as it’s announced by tomorrow. Good points all around.

I don't think a forfeit is happening, regardless. Even announcing it as a tie messes with winning percentage. I'm guessing it's ruled a no contest.

Airseven Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 It’s funny that for competitive integrity, it’s better the Bills take an L than a no contest. It’d keep hope alive for a pure #1 seed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorin' Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 2 minutes ago, Captain Caveman said: I don't understand how that wouldn't be the same? A tie reduces your overall winning percentage. So a team that 12-4 is a head of a team that's 12-4-1... Meaning a tie is as good as a loss when the teams have not played the same number of games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that's not right Having the Chiefs lose and us win Sunday still gives us the #1 seed (probably the only way it happens now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If KC ends up 14-3, and we end up 13-3, I think KC should get the bye. But championship game between Buffalo and KC should be held on a neutral field.
