It's about the number of games played 16 vs 16 is the same, acting like the game was never scheduled Any tie break between 16 and 17 became a neutral site The Bengals ravens had a coin toss because if the ravens won they would have swept the division winner and the league wanted to make that "fair" but honestly probably just wanted to make sure both teams played as many starters as possible today

Agree but I don't see the benefit to keep the bills guessing Bills game plan won't change much with either QB

Better yet they should give him a big money contract extension too

There are a ton of pats fans that believe Mac Jones is good

These predictions make sense to me, could see the late afternoon game for the bills as well

Any news on this front? Imagine the NFL would announce tonight or tomorrow just so the city could be prepared

What's funny about this post is that it's not actually sarcastic

No flag on 3rd or 4th down to give the chiefs an automatic first down???????

I imagine every indoor/dome stadium will be at the top of the list then it would go to warm weather cities Is it possible to run games at a stadium on back to back nights? Would the field be too beat up? Say nfc championship Sunday/Monday then the afc championship the other day? With a week off between championship games and super bowl the day difference wouldn't be the biggest deal

Actually surprised by how fair the outcome of this is for a league that constantly puts it's self first and in the lime light Only thing that sucks is the Bengals coin flip scenario but then again if you get swept by a division opponent then maybe it is deserved

Both games would be in buffalo Canceling the week 17 game has the bills and bengals both at 16 games played and no need to adjust or work anything out

So to summarize Chiefs benefit with best chance at a bye and not having to go on the road Bills don't get help but also not completely screwed over Bengals get screwed over completely - chance they have to coin flip for chance at home field in the wild card round as a division winner, likely have to go on the road in the divisional round and then at best get a neutral site afc championship game lol

Maybe I'm too much of a conspiracy theorist but moving the conference championship game to a neutral site opens up the league to always have it at a neutral site Imagine having a final four type situation for the NFL, both conference championship games in the same location and then the super bowl the following weekend That is straight money for the league

I really hope they announce the medical and training staff and have them run out of the tunnel before sunday's game

Is "fins up" worse than "Duval"

What would the league do/ how would they handle it if they knew this would happen before week 1? With the knowledge you couldn't reschedule or want to reschedule There is potential a solution when you look strictly how the league makes the schedule Teams play 1 cross conference division in full, 1 in conference division in full and then the corresponding finishing positions of the other 2 in conference division to go along with 2 games against your own division So my proposal would be to eliminate the corresponding games for the chiefs and ravens that resulted the Bills Bengals game was The bills Bengals was the 1st place vs 1st place game against the divisions set to play each other So the Chiefs would eliminate the Titans game (1st place vs in conference division the afc west was playing) and the ravens would eliminate their game against the jets (4th place vs the in conference division the afc north played )

Yeah bye all day Plus there's only one team you would have to go on the road to play out of 6 possibilities

It's cool, gave me a laugh

Took me a minute but at first I thought you meant Chris Kelsey and was like when did he ever play in the playoffs for the bills, didn't think he was on that 1999 squad

I'm sure both McDermott and Taylor will win some Espy this summer

I fully expect a handful of players not to nor want to play this weekend

Heavy dislike if this is what happens So buffalo gets to play for a chance at a bye mean while every other team has a bye Just give me the 3rd seed at that point and we will go scorched earth in the playoffs

If the league goes that route, the game that everyone was excited to watch Monday and the game that would be played will look vastly different In my opinion it would look a lot more like a pre season game combined with the pro bowl When it comes to the playoffs every team wants home field but home field takes a back seat to health

That would be the point

If the NFL scheduled it that way and put the bills in primetime, I hope both teams just take turns kneeling the entire game
