KC gets home field through Playoffs correct? Expand I agree with whatever the league and teams decide here for seeding. Trying to play/finish the Bengals game is just not a good idea. Just figure some way to seed the teams thats agreed upon and let it work itself out from there. This isn’t about the Bills getting the 1 seed, its about finding a way to move forward that’s fair and doesn’t cause the Bills players any more pain than they already have. 1 Quote

KC gets home field through Playoffs correct? Expand The main ideas are not counting KC's game against Denver last week towards seeding, using a random number generator 1-17 to not count one if KC's games towards seeding, or Bills-Bengals play a standalone game in week 19 and push the WC round back a week. I don't see anyone discussing winning percentage being used. Edited January 4, 2023 by Big Turk Quote

Expand Good point.. if that’s the case then the Bills could rest players, which may give the Pats an easy in. That probably = lack of equity for some team. In that sense NE has “ earned” the scenario they’re in. Quote

But they may need to vacate the BAL game for BAL since they play CIN this week. That’s quite the rabbit hole at that point. I am pleased that it doesn’t sound like the league is trying to do everything. The major effects are the top 3 seeds. 1 Quote

Sounds stupid but it's simple and effective- Have a field goal shoot out. Each teams kicker starts at the 5 yard line. For every kick made, the ball moves back 10 yards. First kicker to miss, that team loses. Do a best of 7 or something. Bass vs whoever Bengals kicker is 🤷 Expand Said a similar thing earlier in the playoff thread.😁 2 Quote

I just don’t think playing that game alone in its own week is going to be chosen as the solution. 2 Quote

Lagoon Blues Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) Ha. Never thought of the FG battle. That would get my vote and be AWESOME. The ratings on that 30 minute TV slot would be through the roof.(Though probably end up underwhelming as someone would miss the 1st one.) Edited January 4, 2023 by Lagoon Blues Quote
