membengal Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 Right. I wasnt taking about us. I was responding to the post - a lot changed at the top. It is what it is but KC probably lucks into one seed over Buffalo without bills losing. Non-game gets KC there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming if they do, we'd be the 2 seed and Buff the 1 based on winning percentages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Buffalo wins on Sunday, their record would be 13-3 which is a .813 win percentage and puts them at the #1 seed and KC at #2. If Buffalo loses on Sunday, their record would be 12-4 which is a .750 win percentage and puts KC at #1. If we win on Sunday, our record would be 12-4 which is a .750 win percentage and tied with Buffalo if they lose, but we get #2 seed based on strength of schedule. Buffalo would drop to #3. If we lose on Sunday, we would be 11-5 and #3 seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of screws over Buff (and us) based on something that was not their fault. I think I like the random number generator option better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All said though, it is the easiest—and the cleanest in the anti-Solomon thought pattern—for the league. The undisturbed path for their Cash Cow Super Bowl Tournament is all that matters to them. The problems of two franchises in getting on—and winning—that path, are of no consequence to them. “Fairness” does not equal ledger bottom lines. What has to be concerning for the NFL as they ponder this decision is - what if this happened during a playoff game or at the Super Bowl? That is where the Cash Cow runs smack dab into 'the right thing to do'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players were already traumatized because they literally saw him die. He was brought back to life, but you cannot expect players to just turn it back on when their brother is in the ICU in critical condition. This happened to a team my High School played and they just called the game as a no contest. I wasn't playing that year (was after I graduated) but that's what they did at the high school level. The player ended up dying. then they should cancel the season and not just one game. many sports have had players possibly die on the field or track and then died in the hospital, especially NASCAR and the race went on. sorry but i disagree, the Bengals are the only team being penalized here as the NFL will continue on with the season.

Jamie_B Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 I feel like depending of the outcomes of this weekends games that the most fair option is to do a weighted random number generator based on winning percentages so that all 3 teams still have a shot at the #1, not dissimilar to what the NBA does with it's draft lotto.

They are trying to get an out on their decision by waiting for the outcome of this weekend's games. That is not right or fair for the Bengals. I knew the NFL would screw the Bengals and nobody cares but, us fans, well, many don't care either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since we were ahead when the game was called, and both teams had had one possession and therefore equal chances to score a touchdown, I think we should get a W. JMHO but fairest and tidiest way to put everything right as far as records and slotting going in to the final week of the season for the playoffs. But, yeah. Screw the Bengals. Excuse the sour grapes but I can't see this happening to Pittsburgh or Dallas or any team Tom Brady plays for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|High School Harry| Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 Another cold ugly thing to consider is the economic impact for the Bengals. Would MikeandKatie have to refund all the tickets sold? That is a LOT of money and I think they could be in some sort of legal problem if they do not. Once again, only the Bengals get screwed.

Jamie_B Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 I don't like the idea of giving the Bengals the W over Buffalo based on the 7-3 score, the outcome is something we could not possibly know.

That is why I said the Bengals are being screwed no matter what. Meaning, if the Bengals win this weekend, they win the AFC North and if both KC and Buffalo do the same, then it is over with seeding for the three. The game does not matter to be played against Buffalo or am I missing something here? I know many have written on this on this thread but, it is too many scenarios going on. I am just looking at what would happen if all three teams win and that is it. If any of the teams lose, then the Bengals are even screwed over more in so many scenarios.

If all 3 win, it doesn't matter, the highest we could get is the 2. That would be the case if we won the Buff game as well. If all 3 win the Bills would get screwed out of the 1. Where it matters is if the Chiefs lose. Then you have the potential where all 3 teams could have ended up tied and we would have gotten the 1 at that point.

MichaelWeston Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 I am late to the game. The obvious solution was Week 18 Bills-Bengals Week 19 Bills-Dolphins and Ravens-Bengals Don't do 2 weeks before the super bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where your human side wins out over your football fan side and you just realize that it’s a shitty situation overall and someone will get screwed potentially. Ultimately it’s just football, a game. Entertainment. A production if you will. I would imagine the NFL will try to figure out the most feasible and equitable solution. Let’s at least give them time to figure something out before we allow our blood pressure to rise from speculation. I think getting rid of the bye week between conference championships to Super Bowl seems to make the most sense. But we don’t know what goes into these things so again, just wait and see at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone can make a decision after the fact. Many things happen to people in this world and the world does not stop in many sports or in life. Like you said, it is just a game, well, then cancel the whole season if it is just a game, right. Don't worry about my blood pressure, I am good. I can manage myself, thanks though.
