The emotional and mental aspect everyone on that field went through FAR outweighs it.......
If anything, the Bills and Bengals need a Bye week before their playoff games
Really depends on any announcements / outcome of Saturday's game.
Also a reason you play your starters in our case could be to get the nerves / anxiety / stress out of their system before a playoff game
Or....they WWE a QB on 4th and 2 and the refs pretend nothing happened.
THE CHIEFS ARE A JOKE!!!!!!!!!!
THE COLTS BEAT THEM!
RAIDERS HAD THEM!
CHARGERS HAD THEM!
BRONCOS HAD THEM TWICE!
EVEN THE TEXANS HAD THEM
Ahh I feel better now
NFL may be toying with adding an 8th seed to the playoffs going forward. Not just for this season.
Although then the Bye week would be eliminated, so I'm not a fan
Don't be so sure. I expect a hybrid solution.
1. No Bye, 8 teams get in.
2. Split the 1 seed benefits. 1 seed picks Bye or Home Field, 2 seed gets other
3. AFC Title Game neutral field if two of BUF KC CIN make it.
Adam S mentioned a decision could be made before Saturday's games. As for the venue, based on the 3 teams locations
Detroit
Indianapolis
Pittsburgh
Tennessee
seem most likely
Since KC hasn't played a road playoff game in the last 4 years and has hosted 4 consecutive AFC Championship games....
I could see them electing home field instead of the bye
I would prefer the bye
Where did you hear this, was Adam S just talking about it?
I had mentioned the idea yesterday
Assuming KC wins Saturday, they get the choice of Bye or Home Field and may make their choice based on the 7 seed opponent
