TigerJ@w Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 11 minutes ago, sparky151 said: If they call the Bengals-Bills game canceled and use 16 games for them and 17 for everyone else that gives the Chiefs a big boost. Going into last weekend, they lost the tiebreaker with the Bills but calling off the game effectively puts both the Bengals and Bills a half game back of the Chiefs. Between the Bengals and Bills it will likely mean Buffalo as the 2 seed and Cincinnati as the 3 so a second round playoff matchup goes to Buffalo. If they simply call the game a 7-3 final score with the Bengals winning, then both teams winning this weekend would make the Bengals the 2 seed and Bills the 3. and guess who is SCREWED? The Bengals, because they get the lowest seed of the three when it was a Buffalo player who was injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL could announce that the game will be voided and not replayed, but in the event that the Bengals and Bills make the divisional round, their game will be played in Cincy (regardless of seeding). I'm ok with that solution. Just my VERY humble and unqualified opinion but I, personally, can't see/would not be surprised to see the Bills lose Sunday and in their first playoff game. Their heads simply cannot be in football with all that is going on with their teammate and team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ@w Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 So, the Bengals take it up the YING YANG if they will not continue the game. I saw that earlier on tv. They are locked in 3rd seed right, and Buffalo and KC get to play for the number one seed, is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ@w Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 I am reading that the AP did not have the correct information and the league has still not made a decision on the game. There are mixed reports on the decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is where the Cash Cow runs smack dab into 'the right thing to do'. What will happen is that next time that a situation like this happens, the team who’s player it didn’t happen to, they’re gonna line back up and stay on the sideline like nothing happened.

I am willing to bet they continue on with the game but, low and behold a regular season game, nope. Cha-ching! They have now opened up a Pandora's box.

If we win and Buffalo loses this Sunday, we would both be 12-4 but we would get the #2 seed based on strength of schedule, as far as I know. KC would have to lose for Buffalo to have a chance at the #1 seed. We have no chance at the #1 seed if the game does not get played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are going to have more incentive to win and be fired up at Home to try and win to be either the 1 or the 2 and in support of winning it for Hamlin. Jags have the upper hand on the last slot anyways instead of New England. Yea, I am kind of upset that the Bengals do not have a shot at the Number One seed because of this situation.

Gary Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 3 hours ago, Griever said: Wow Why not? While I still think we would have a 3 seed it would give us an extra home game, right? So if all three top seed teams win this weekend we would be 3rd and playing 6th team which would be Baltimore. So two weeks in a row with Baltimore.. Kinda like that Jets game we had back to back where we let the Jets spank us, which at the time I said was the worst thing they could have done, and it ended up costing us the playoff game against the jets the next week. So we would need to put our boot on Baltimores throat both weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the two seed would have two home games. So we are getting jobbed big time. I think we would have beat the Bills. We should be #2 now, and we should still have the chance at #1 rather than 0% chance if the game was cancelled. Last year the 2nd seed ended up having home field throughout the playoffs.

I'm ok with that solution. What about if the Chiefs lose on Sat and we win on Sun? Do we not change the seeds but put the Bengals in there having home field throughout? That's what would have happened anyway. Personally I think the league is waiting until this weekends games are played before giving us a 100% answer on what's going to happen.

No. Bengals have a better strength of victory than the Bills if the Bills lose and we win this weekend. We could be the two, but we should already be the two.
