Probably but the Chiefs gaining significantly on the Bills (and possibly Bengals) misfortune seems wrong. Especially since they lost to both. I don't see the downside of an eight team playoffs just this one year in the AFC just to avoid giving the Chiefs a bye week. Three games on Saturday. Three on Sunday. One on Monday. Sign me up. I'm sure the NFL and the tv networks won't mind.
-
Even reading it slowly another team could knock off the Chiefs in the divisional round in which case we'd still host the AFC Championship game if we make it that far. So in my mind there's not much difference between the 2 and the 3 seed. The home field advantage would be minimal in the divisional round between us and the Bengals IMO.

Home field really isn't what I'm thinking. It's more about only having to play one less game to reach the AFC Championship game (most likely the Chargers in the divisional round) and not having to face both the Chiefs and Bengals to get to the Super Bowl. Let them duke it out in the Divisional round.

Doubt it. The NFL's official website already has the scenario laid out as if they'd go by traditional win % meaning we have no shot at the one seed if KC wins on Saturday. They basically ripped the Bills controlling their own destiny for the one seed from their hands if they go by winning %. Unless they resume the Bills/Bengals game the following week there will definitely be a giant asterisk next to the AFC Champion this year.

Who would play the 6 and 7 seed on Wild Card weekend then? -

A Wednesday night game is probably what they'll do if we get good news with Hamlin. They'll pry push the Bills/Pats game and the Bengals/Ravens game to Monday night. During Covid the NFL was extremely aggressive to make sure all the games were played to the point where the Broncos had to start a practice squad WR at QB. I'm just guessing at this point though as it's an unprecedented situation. -

I meant they won't announce anything tonight. They're not going to say we're resuming the game on Wednesday and then god forbid Hamlin dies in the hospital overnight. -

You're not going to hear a word from the NFL until Hamllin's status is known. As it should be. -
Does it though? The close game narrative that was killed pretty quickly this year is relevant as two of our three Road losses in the playoffs came in OT. This is post Josh Allen draft. To me a road playoff win is just the next check in the box since McDermott has got here. There may be some mental trepidation going to KC but we pry make it a bigger deal than it is compared to the players.

I didn't say it's not important. It's not a must win. The Patriots have a must win game next weekend.

Since the new playoff format started the one seed has been knocked out once in the divisional round, twice in the conference championship, and once in the Super Bowl. If it wasn't for the most inept 13 seconds of coaching I've ever seen we would've hosted the AFC Championship game as a 3rd seed. The two teams who've won the Super Bowl were a 5th seed and a 4th seed. Does not getting the one seed make it much more difficult to reach and win the Super Bowl? Yes. Is the Bengals game a must win? No.

The Jests; from 7-4 to 7-9. An epic collapse

It sounds good but just remember one thing..........they're the Jets. -
Watching it back there's a slight chance it could've been sarcasm. He seemed ticked off at the reporter bringing the Packers scenario up.
