The Bills will be America's choice this season in postseason

The tragedy along with the shooting, blizzard, past failures. Pretty sure once someone's team is out. They'll all be rooting for the Bills. Hopefully we can win for Damar and for 🐃!

Chris Russo was on this morning and said this too. He feels if bills win and chiefs win. Goodell should do right thing and award home field to Buffalo if he doesn't allow the game to continue. He said the backlash will be huge if buffalo loses a nail biter in kc.

I do not want to win a Super Bowl where we are gifted anything. We've all had to hear enough trash talk regarding our fandom of this team; the last thing we need is a scenario where we can't even fully enjoy a championship because everyone (rightfully) points out that we got the equivalent of a pity lay from the NFL.

Anything but gifted. Well earned.
With everything they went through.

They've been through more than any team I can remember. It doesn't mean that they should be handed homefield advantage. What happened to Hamlin is obviously a tragedy, but I still don't feel right about the Bills becoming a charity case because of it.

I said if the nfl doesn't allow the game to be continued

Everyone needs to play for the trophies. The bye week is just as important if not more ... so who is he 'awarding' that to?

It wouldn't be anything even close to charity we beat them in their house period!

If bills and chiefs are in afc championship game move it to a neutral site... Miami or Tampa

Re: The Bills will be America's choice this season in postseason

Chiefs, bills, cincinatti all win this weekend. It should go to the bills. If cinci loses and bills-chiefs win, ravens get 3 seed, bills get one seed. Cinci and kc win but the bills lose, KC gets one seed. If Kc loses, cinci wins, buffalo loses, cinci gets one seed, then buffalo, then KC


KC has no room to ***** because they lost to the bills and cinci.

This would be a one year common sense implementation that id only propose due to Kc having directly lost the tie breaker to buffalo and cinci

Playoff seeding is based on W-L record first; you guys seem to forget that. By this logic, the Colts should've made the playoffs over the Bills last year, since they beat us in our house. Doesn't work that way.

Yeah but playing a different amount of games kinda botches that up.

It's pretty good, but it still is one that in no way inconveniences Buffalo, which - as much as I hate to admit it - is a problem since we were the ones who decided to not continue the Bengals game (again, the clear correct decision).

Imagine KC and Buffalo were switched. Would you be okay, if we needed to make up a game on them, with the league deciding to just throw out their arguably most difficult game of the season and give them homefield, even if the Bills had more wins?

Playing the Bengals game seems callous and honestly puts us at a pretty big disadvantage if we lose, even bigger so than if we forfeit the Bengals game. That, or a "no contest," unfortunately seems to be the cleanest option.

The only reason i dont really care is because the chiefs directly lost to the bills and cinci. So the whole "its not fair to them", i really dont care about. If they didnt already lose to the bills and cinci, i would be totally against this
