I think Bills may vote against it out of respect for Cincy

Yes, wouldn't be completely surprised if we follow the Bengals lead. Indeed, I hope we do.

100% do not blame him one bit

Expand  

Agreed. Just follow the rule on the books. Done.

[K D]

Zac Taylor did everything right and got crapped on. He deserves to be upset.

 

KC gets the bye week even though they lost to both teams and Cinci is the 3 seed and might not even get any home games if they lose and then lose the coin flip. This is nonsense.

 

The correct action was either:

1. 8 playoff teams and no bye and you go by winning percentage for seeding

2. the team that gets the bye forfeits home field to the #2 team and any game between Buf and Cinci is at a neutral site

 

These are the only 2 options that make sense.

This DOES happen. 

[SCBills]

The Bengals/Ravens scenario is utter garbage. 
 

KC gets the 1 seed if they win on Saturday based on win percentage.  
 

Why is it the Bengals who don’t get win percentage factored in?

The change for the Ravens was completely unnecessary.

The Bengals are 11-4.  The Bills and Chiefs have only lost 3 games

[Franco_92]

I understand wanting to throw the ravens a bone because the cancelation did strip them of a path to the division. 

 

It won't matter because Cincinnati will beat them

Yes it should all go by winning percentage

Such a huge mistake. I hope we aren't advantaged by this as we are going to get a lot of hate if we win it all.

No, I’m strictly speaking about the Bengals/Ravens scenario.  Why a coin flip when the Ravens can’t overtake them on win percentage?

 

Sure Ravens would have swept them.  
 

Bills beat Chiefs.  Doesn’t mean we get a coin flip over the bye.

Yes they really effed Cincinatti over, but I disagree with your solutions.

 

The solution was to follow their own by-laws and either seed by win % or add week 19.

No.  No we are not. 
 

Chiefs are gifted a bye if they win Saturday.

Would it really both you if the Bills end up winning the Super Bowl and there is "hate" toward the Bills because of this?  I wouldn't even think twice about it.  Nobody will remember it in a couple of years, but a Championship is forever.

We are already getting hate that we should just forfeit the game. Just imagine for a second that the Bengals have to travel to Baltimore wild card weekend and get knocked out while we beat the chiefs at a neutral field. 

 

Every troll on the internet is going to constantly remind us of it. I actually wish we would have forfeited it since the NFL apparently wont let us replay it.

Surprised the NFL didn't move the entire AFC playoffs to Qatar.  They could grow the game, great weather this time of year, bunch of empty stadiums and no worries about bad behavior from drunken fans.
