BRH Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 13 minutes ago, Arkady Renko said: This helps visualize it. so of the possible outcomes - and taking game probabilities entirely out of the equation - the Chiefs get the 1 seed 75% of the time and the Bills get it 25%. Bills get 50% of the 2 seed possibilities with the other two teams getting 25% each. Bengals get the 3 seed 75% of the time and Bills 25%. Chiefs can’t get the 3, Bengals can’t get the 1, we can land anywhere between 1-3. A KC-Buffalo AFCCG is 50% likely to be at a neutral site, with Buffalo and KC having a 25% chance each of hosting. And KC is 87.5% likely to host a KC-Cincinnati AFCCG. Again, this doesn’t account for the actual game outcome probabilities. Bengals really don’t have a lot to complain about. They have more losses than either of the other two teams. If they were 12-3 instead of 11-4, this chart would look different. They can talk all day about how the first nine minutes of Monday’s game looked, but that doesn’t matter and I’m glad the NFL agreed. We were hurt too - we no longer control our own destiny. Tough to find a situation where KC has a right to complain, given that they got waxed by both of the other teams and will not have to play a true road game (again). I’m okay with it.

Yes and if we win our game Sunday, it's assured the title game is either in Buffalo or at a neutral site.

Seems to be a reoccurring theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a 50% chance the game would be in Buffalo with my idea. There is a 100% chance we would be on the road with this idea: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) Meltdowns occurring all over chiefsplanet.com. 😂 I am sure that our resident Chiefs troll(in disguise) is among those screaming unfair…of course he would come here and say otherwise.

Matt_In_NH Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 What is interesting to me is if Buffalo wins this week and KC loses, the Bills will get the one seed and get the bye and home field advantage? This seems unfair to KC becuase the unequal game thing is still in affect and if it was played, it is possible KC could have gotten the one seed outright. I dont think they listed all the possibilities. 10 hours ago, DieHardFan said: This is total BS!

It is possible they will give the option to season ticket holders. While I understand your frustration, do you not see there is no ideal solution here? It is at a neutral site because home field was not fully determined, it could have gone either way including the Bills not having it meaning you would have to go to KC.

Just heard on SiriusXM 88 that it might be in Indy which is fine with me. I don't like Indy simply because it's proximity to Missouri. Yes, I understand Kansas City is the same miles difference to Indy than Buffalo, but what people are not getting is the entire state are huge KC fans. I spent my high school years in Missouri, and there were very rare Rams fans back then. Everybody were KC red. West of Indianapolis are rabid Chiefs fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 KC should not get the bye. If they get the bye then Bills get home field. Nobody earned either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If KC loses and Buffalo wins, then KC finishes the season 13-4 and Buffalo finishes 13-3. KC has more losses and are behind in literally every tiebreaker possible. They could "play" the Bills/Bengals game, start the game and run the clock out to a 0-0 tie and Buffalo would still finish ahead of them.

I dont think they listed all the possibilities. Even if we lost to Cincinatti, a KC loss to the Raiders would have given us the #1 seed over KC (equal losses, tiebreaker for us head to head). Cincinatti would have an issue since cancelling our game gives them no chance at the #1 seed. I think I have that right, but my brain don't work too good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't lose 32-13 to Cleveland and you wouldn't be talking about this. In fact, if you didn't lose 32-13 to Cleveland, you'd be the 2 seed right now.

DrBob806 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Cleveland is the answer if it's Bills-BenGals. Chicago is the answer if it's Bills-Chiefs. Play the game outside, no dome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo03 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Does anyone know if we are the 2 and the Bengals the 3, if we play each other in the Divisional round, is that neutral? Or is that just the championship game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
