Panthers request to interview Dorsey for HC
Boatdrinks replied to Process's topic in The Stadium Wall
Coaches argued it was costing them opportunities to advance. Teams were under pressure for HCs to put a staff together and would move on from candidates if their team continued on in the playoffs. That’s why these interviews are allowed. -

John Brown Leads the Charge of the Reunited Feels So Good Gang
Boatdrinks replied to JESSEFEFFER's topic in The Stadium Wall
Sure did, the wind held that ball up just a bit. I have a feeling they’re planning on a few more deep shots to Brown this postseason run -
Potential decision made for Championship Game location

That was exactly the reason that the neutral site scenarios were put in. Edit : the losses to BUF and CIN were the reason, I wasn’t including any reference to the schedule. -

This is pretty much how it works. Doesn’t Dorsey have a history with Carolina as well ? Maybe they really like the guy and he’s familiar to them. -
While the Bengals may have had a legitimate beef about the coin toss scenario, I’m surprised there’s an undercurrent of belief from fans that they should get a neutral field vs the Bills ; they should not. The BUF/ CIN game was cancelled: officially did not happen. The Bengals and Bills played the same amount of games and the Bills had a better record. There was no situation to resolve with a neutral field if those teams were to meet. The neutral field proviso was to address a few scenarios in which the Chiefs could face either the Bills or Bengals in the AFC Championship with the latter having played 16 games vs KC’s 17. The Chiefs won their final game so there is no longer a neutral site scenario for an AFC title game involving the Bengals.

Dolphins fans opinions on what we have to say about them 🤔
Boatdrinks replied to StHustle's topic in The Stadium Wall
True. If MIA were playing KC the board would say “ Man , those Chiefs have a cakewalk game ! “ The Bills draw MIA , and it’s “ I don’t know about you, but this game scares the daylights out of me ! “ -

Agreed. I think it’s only zoom interview until then but still… -

I think he’s aware of that Ta, he just wondered if the agreed upon proposal had a stipulation for that matchup. -

That is correct. -

The logic is that the NFL cancelled BUF/ CIN. It never happened. They weren’t going to deal with ifs, buts , candy or nuts when it came to those teams. The records were what they were : the Bills had one more win. Now, when it comes to the Chiefs , the Bills had a chance to maintain their claim to the 1 seed regardless of what KC did. That was denied them by the cancellation. The Bengals would have needed a KC loss. To remedy the Bills situation somewhat , the neutral site AFCC game provision was adopted. It was provided for CIN as well but only if KC lost. This was more sensible than coming up with every scenario possible IF BUF/ CIN would have been played . It was simply cancelled and they washed their hands of it . Makes perfect sense to me. -

Disagree, regardless of their numbers- too affected by the vagaries of the home/ away schedule. I don’t think you can underestimate the difference between a neutral site AFCC vs a trip to Arrowhead for the Bills. Don’t forget the Bills played 1 less game than the Chiefs. -

Boatdrinks replied to Ra-cha-cha's topic in The Stadium Wall
The NFL likely consulted with the Bills about making up the game. They determined to move on with the playoffs as a scheduled. We won’t know , but we do know they were prepared to forfeit. They won’t get a bye , but at that point they hadn’t earned it. They did okay one less game than KC at the end of the season , so it’s not completely different than getting a bye a week before the Chiefs. A neutral site championship is an enormous accommodation to the Bills circumstances and seems a fair compromise to me. -

Hoping to hear some new information on this soon. They’re not going to wait until the divisional round to name the location ; at least I don’t think they would. From a Buffalo perspective I’d prefer Charlotte or MIA/ ATL. Easy flight from BUF and weather won’t or shouldn’t impact the game. -
Do the Kansas City Chiefs deserve a bye week ?
Boatdrinks replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall
Think of it this way: if the exact same scenario were reversed with Bills / KC would you believe the Bills should get the bye ? I believe the overwhelming response would be yes. -

I don’t think the Bills and Bengals can meet in an AFCC game with the seeding as it is. Divisional round only , and it will be played in OP if it happens. -

Agree. Definitely not an a$$ kicking… these were tough , close games that were completely in doubt into the final minutes.
