I don't see how the Bills wouldn't be awarded the #1 seed, along with the bye and HFA if that were to happen. Quote

Everyone would know what they are playing for. The game with Cincy can't be replayed. I think everyone understands that. Raiders Nation do the right thing for your Franchise, Your Fans and Number 3. Take down the Chiefs and put them on the road in the second round of the playoffs. Quote

Raiders have enough players to pull this off. Raiders took a much better 49ers defense on and nearly beat them. 2 Quote
Generic_Bills_Fan Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 I’ve been trying to explain to my buddies who are not bills fans the difference between a tie and a no contest as far as playoff seeding goes and it would be wild if the chiefs and raiders tie making that a huge deal Quote

Yes, I guess it’s still possible if they were to take an L last week and yet still wind up ahead based on this week’s outcomes. So long as it’s announced by tomorrow. Good points all around. Quote

They almost get beat by a weaker team seemingly every other week but they almost always prevail with clutch play right at the end. and if we hadn't fumbled the snap against Minny none of this would matter 1 Quote

I don't think a forfeit is happening, regardless. Even announcing it as a tie messes with winning percentage. I'm guessing it's ruled a no contest. Quote
Airseven Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 It’s funny that for competitive integrity, it’s better the Bills take an L than a no contest. It’d keep hope alive for a pure #1 seed. Quote
Motorin' Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 2 minutes ago, Captain Caveman said: I don't understand how that wouldn't be the same? A tie reduces your overall winning percentage. So a team that 12-4 is a head of a team that's 12-4-1... Meaning a tie is as good as a loss when the teams have not played the same number of games. 1 Quote

Last year, the QB sneak against Tennessee cost the Bills the #1 seed and now this one play could end up doing the same. 1 Quote

Yes, but in this situation we'd win even if we had the same winning percentage since we hold the tie breaker over KC, right? 2 minutes ago, Airseven said: It’s funny that for competitive integrity, it’s better the Bills take an L than a no contest.

The Raiders are going to do the Bills a solid and beat the Chiefs by "Damar points" The Bills are going to beat the Patriots So it be written, so it shall be done. Prefer 33! Quote

If KC ends up 14-3, and we end up 13-3, I think KC should get the bye. But championship game between Buffalo and KC should be held on a neutral field. Quote
