Sort of but not HFA, Since they're not sure how it could have gone if things played out.So, KC was given the #1 seed?
"As far as I'm concerned, we just want the rules to be followed," Taylor said. "When a game is canceled, you just turn to winning percentage to clarify everything so we don't have to make up rules. There's several instances this season when a club is fined or people in our building are fined and we're being told, 'Follow the rules. It's black and white. It's in the rulebook.' So now when we point out the rules and you're told, we're going to change that, I don't want to hear about fair and equitable when that's the case."
Taylor didn't offer much on how a potential coin flip would work for the Bengals, but did admit "we're not good at coin flips."
"So, we have the opportunity to play for a coin flip that can only negatively impact us," Taylor said. "We don't have the opportunity to play for a coin flip that positively impacts us. Again, let's just follow the rules and we accept that. We just have to turn our focus to getting ready for Baltimore and then doing everything we can to control what we can control at that point."
Totallt agree! What happened to "win one for the gipper" and "the show must go on"? Every time in the past a player was carted off the field with a season or carreer injury, after prayer and a respectful pause the game resumed. Hamlins first words were "who won the game?" ....."ugh, they quit. they didn't go on to win it for you." The NFL pretends to honor veterans but does not learn from them. In war they continue the mission even though their friends are dying around them. NFL is getting feminized.The Bills were not screwed. They willingly chose to forfeit. Therefore they screwed themselves.
Not really. Yesterday's results minimized the unfairness, IMO.The AFC Champion team will get an asterisk next to the 2022 results!
They set it up knowing that would be the most likely outcome.Not really. Yesterday's results minimized the unfairness, IMO.
The Bengals-Ravens coin flip doesn't have to happen.
The disparity between being a 2 seed vs a 3 seed is minimal.
Chances are, the neutral site AFCCG scenario won't happen, just based on the rarity of a 1 vs. 2 matchup in an AFCCG.
The biggest effect was that the Bills lost the chance to get the 1 seed, but it seems that they chose to leave Cincy that night and make a resumption 24 h or 48h later impossible, and the existing bylaws established back when COVID cancellations were expected said to use wining percentages in such cases.
Agreed!Bengals got screwed nfl is a joke
