What happens to the Bills vs. Bengals game?

[RememberTheKoy]

Oh, so you don't like it when your team gets fucked over huh? I am just verifying you are saying this.

My team wasn't involved. No need to fuck the rest of the league over.

Someone has to get f'd. Let it just be the Bengals. If you give the Bengals the win, even though it was Buffalo who had the hurt player and chose to leave the city that night, then you screw the Ravens.

If you give the win to Buffalo, you are potentially screwing KC, but once again, I don't think it is a major screwing of KC as they have a lesser opponent to beat with less baggage to overcome like the Bills. So the Bills have the #1 seed heading into week 18, tied with KC. Both would need to win to hold on to it, and Buffalo has a bigger huddle to over come.

Baltimore in week 18 gets to play for the AFC North crown. Buffalo has to bring their A game to hold on to that #1 seed against New England, so that gives Miami and Pittsburgh hope still.

The only team on the outside looking in, are the Bengals, but once again, they still control their own destiny in the AFC North if they win. If they lose, they drop back, but don't lose the playoff birth. Just have to win on the road the whole way.

So give Cincinnati a loss, make everyone happy, and we are happy because we can be everyones bitch yet again. Here's your little fucking fiddle playing. *chirp chirp chirp*

How is an extra week of a bye that big deal?

It let's you rest injured players and if you need to stay sharp the team can just have a padded scrimmage. You have a QB with a shoulder sprain

It's not Ideal but it's better than anything else I've heard as far as competitive balance

"better than anything else I've heard as far as competitive balance" jesu what a stupid fucking statement.


Also the Eagles would play a game on January 8th and then wouldn't play another game until January 29th. That completely fucks over the Eagles to have that much downtime and then jump into the playoffs. That's just asking for a completely sloppy and rusty performance.


The most fair scenario is call that game a tie and move on.

I gotcha. So Philadelphia is not part of the brotherhood. I understand you. This is not a unity thing.

Yes because the NFL is going to use a tragedy like this to push their preferred matchup in the playoffs. Grow the fuck up. Perhaps if the Bengals didn't want to be screwed they should of won more games earlier in the year and they wouldn't be in this situation would they.

For who, the Ravens that now lost the AFC North because of that tie and no longer have a chance to host a playoff game in Baltimore?

Pretty funny actually. Like I said, I am not worried about it anymore. I really don't care what happens, even if it is as crazy and dramatic as giving the Bills the win.

Fair enough. The end of the season doesn't mean as much as the beginning anyways. So you are correct my friend.

Idk, I can't blame him if they go with a no contest + the neutral site AFCCG if it is KC/BUF. That's legit weird to me.

Seems to me CIN got screwed and the NFL can't play it off as an unfortunate circumstance of logistics.

Ravens lost the AFC North because of a tie? What are you even talking about. Only way the Ravens would have won the North is if Bengals lost to the Bills and then best the Bengals this weekend and even then I'm not sure they would win the North.

So cry me a song about the Ravens not winning the AFC North if they beat the Bengals this weekend.

Nuclear war would render all of this meaningless

Ok, Posadist. We knew you were Dolphins fans but you don't have to take all of us with you.

 

[RememberTheKoy]

I gotcha. So Philadelphia is not part of the brotherhood. I understand you. This is not a unity thing.

The world goes on. Eagles had nothing to do with this game. No need to completely change everything and fuck up the entire postseason to accommodate the Bengals.

So you are saying the Bills didn't have a chance against the Bengals? If that is not the case, you are saying the Ravens can't beat the Bengals twice? Sure, we will go with that.

If its that big a deal the Eagles just give up the 1 seed so another NFC team gets screwed with the awful luck of extra rest after a 17 game season?. I'm sure there will be takers in the NFC for the huge "disadvantage" of a bye, extra time to scout possible opponents, and extra time to let injured players heal without reaggrevating injuries

Do major college programs schedule games before the National Championship playoffs start?

Again, it's not Ideal but an extra week of a bye is not a major issue.

That was actually John Lowenstein, but close enough

Yes, the Ravens would have had the same record as the Bengals, if the Bengals lost to the Bills and Ravens. Ravens would have won head to head match ups this year 2-0 and had a better division record.

So everyone is ok with bills losing their 1 seed because it’s only playoff seeding at this point?

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

I hope franchises like the Lions, Jets, Redskins, etc. take note of this. Naming them specifically because they're on the way. When you guys become good and not the preferred, prepare to get fucked. Just be prepared.

 

[Jordan23]

So award a team 4 points they didn't earn? If the score was tied or didn't take place, then sure. I can't see it being a tie.

Really, dude? A game barely even part way in the 1st and you are gonna being up a 4 point spread as a reason it shouldn’t be a tie? Lol
