NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION Week 17: NFL Other Games

[venecol]

The Bengals would have the 1 seed in that scenario if they win Sunday and there was a 3 way tie. The Bengals already beat the Chiefs this season.

That's not possible: KC 13 wins, CIN 11 wins.

All SBs are played on neutral sites (until TB & LA) playoff games are not.

So how is a neutral Super Bowl site any different than a neutral AFC Championship site? And yes, SBs count as playoff games.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Chiefs get the advantage of a bye.

Exactly , they should take that and run with it. Don’t wanna hear it, chiefs fans!

Dude don't be stupid. HFA gives you home field during the playoffs leading up to the SB, which is always played in a neutral stadium.

Mahomes has always played every playoff game leading up to the SB at Arrowhead. This year, he'll have to play the AFCCG (if he makes it) at some other stadium. That would be the 1st time in his career that happens. I know you hate it because he's your boy. I love it.

The assumption was the canceled game was a Bills loss for the scenario I quoted. So, the Bengals would have a corresponding W, so they'd be at 13 wins with the win over the Ravens & the canceled game W.

So now you are changing the goal posts to non-SB playoff games. That's not what you said originally.

My point is that Mahomes has in fact won in the playoffs away from Arrowhead.

Wow, with Flacco in i think the jets chances of beating miami just went up. Absolutely sucks we need pit and ten to lose still… if wed have just not blown raiders or cincy those 2 wouldn’t be necessary

Have you seen Flacco play this season? He started 3, went 1-2 with 58.2% completion, a 77.0 rating and 10 sacks with 3 INT & 3 FL. Dude looks like the rock of Gibraltar standing in the pocket. Hasn't played since Week 3. He did have a good game against CLE. I thought White gave them a much better chance.

Proposed AFC seeding plan raises important issues about rule changes, precedent

As Commissioner Roger Goodell acknowledged in a statement issued on Thursday, "there is no perfect solution" to the cancellation of the Bills-Bengals game.

LOL the Bengals don't appear to be happy with the new proposal. Didn't they make a decision not to play this week? And didn't the Bills leave town? The teams only have themselves to blame if they find the new format unacceptable.

They may be upset that they made the decision about playing based on rules at the time. Those rules were later changed but they can’t change their decision.

that’s why things get messy when you go changing rules in the middle of the game. Or season.

I am the biggest Raiders fan right now.

Maybe not. I think you need to start a thread to assert and discuss your claim.

White wasnt 100% though. If he tried trotting out there again i have little doubt they fail to score double digits. With Flacco they at least have a decent chance. White at full strength is by far the jets best option yeah.

I love this, KC has to play on the road against BUF/CIN. Probably an NFC stadium.

Not if they beat the Faidahs, which of course has already been pre-determined by Park Avenue.

You haven't heard the latest news?

 

[captain stone]

Honestly, changing the playoffs due to this game not being played is stupid.

If KC finishes 14-3 and Buffalo finishes 13-3, then KC should get the bye and home field advantage in accordance with the rules. Does it suck for Buffalo? Sure. But so would having your staring QB knocked out with a concussion in the 1Q, and your backup coming in and throwing 5 ints.

No one would be calling for playoff changes in that case. It just how the NFL goes.

Completely f ucking different.

So, what you're saying is the Jets are pining for the days of Geno Smith?

I’m currently between St Kitts & St Maarten, and I haven’t checked any other sites, so sorry I didn’t mean to be snappish…

NP. NFL changed the rules because they cancelled the CIN-BUF game. Basically, if KC, BUF & CIN all win this week, then KC gets #1 seed, but if AFCCG is between KC-BUF or KC-CIN, then it will be played in a neutral stadium. No AFCCG in Arrowhead if it's between those teams.

 

[Kontradiction]

Your definition of easy is the problem here. The notion that it's easy to assign a loss to a team that was close in a game that was nowhere near over, and has nothing approaching such a regulation, is not a notion held by any of the other major U.S. sports, and for good reason. Even baseball, the one sport that allows for shortened games, requires a significant chunk of the game to have been played, with the trailing team having gotten equal opportunity.

Yeah. What they did is much easier. There’s a chance of multiple playoff games in the AFC being played at a neutral site, so there’s also a chance that KC gets screwed out of HFA at some point even though they weren’t even involved in the game. The easiest thing the NFL could have done was called game at 7-3, since both teams consciously chose not to continue, and one team consciously hopped on a flight home.
