If Eagles win the Superbowl do Bills open the season again? And after the Titans debacle.

Would have preferred Saturday night to give Tua less time but this is my second choice.

Do other games this weekend matter like a Steelers win?

Holliday season may have been a factor as well. Desired surgeon might not have been available by the time the swelling went down.

Of course he is questionable. When is KC getting screwed for anything? The players have to commit a felony in order to have any bad luck.

So resting everyone is an option if Chiefs win…correct?

If Bills lose and Bengals win the Bills are the 3 seed.

If I recall correctly, Cinncy opted to rest starters last year against Cleveland and resigned themselves to the 4 seed. That worked out well for them. Not saying the Bills should do the same but interesting case study. I would prefer to win to defer KC as long as possible.

I think it is impossible for it to be meaningless.

Who wants to shutdown UB football? First I have heard of this.

Having the 2 seed last year instead of the 3 seed would have been a huge deal. KC at OP in January. It matters. I hate this scenario but likely. If it benefitted the Bengals I would feel better about it. But the Chiefs….who were both beaten by the Bills and Bengals, doesn’t feel right. If having a better record in conference is such a big deal with tie breakers, why couldn’t that be the correct winning percentage formula?

No. That goes away with these playoff byes.

I bet he turns to coaching soon and will make hundreds of thousands $ each year, maybe millions, for next 30 to 35 years either at college or NFL level.

Vikings defense is not good. Hopefully he can be reasonably successful.

Bills/Bengals is a no contest. Use AFC winning %. Let 8 teams in. Do the same in NFC for all I care. 1 seed is not gifted with bye at least. Would hurt the Bills but seems fair. Assuming they beat the Pats.

I agree with you. I was getting a bad vibe before the game and during. It felt like the Colts game last year. Things were just not going to go their way last night.

I seriously doubt they push back Pats/Bills and Ravens/Bengals. All 4 will not want less time to prepare for the playoffs.

Browns too I think. Just spitballing here. Don’t envy the NFL in attempt to figure this out.

Use win % and let 8 teams in? That way KC does not have a clear gift.

I was completely kidding. Just making a joke based on an old saying. It’s my goto Dad joke. “Did you leave a tip? Sure, I told the waiter not to go out with a wet head.” I read an article about the early explorers in the Antarctic. They never got sick.

Joe Burrow went out with a wet head and now has a cold.

Do we know the uniforms yet?

I think it is. Yes, if Carr was playing well and this team was 9-6 he would likely be playing this week and the following. But since the above is not true, they are sitting him to avoid a $40M hit. No one with a straight face can say Stidham gives them a better chance to win.

Bummer. Really wanted the Raiders to be in it in Week 18 to be motivated against the Chiefs.

Purely a financial move. Nothing wrong with that, however. Would want the Bills to be smart long term vs short term.
