I’m not entirely thrilled either (I think it’s a lacking solution for the interplay of seeds 1-3). You’re hardly alone being upset about the AFCN ruling. So be it.

Don't control their own destiny for a 2 seed, and don't have a shot at the 1 seed anymore. ____________________________________________________________

Mixon raised a valid gripe on Twitter. Whatever one thinks about “what is truly fair?”, there is a league policy in place. Their ruling for Bengals/Ravens is inconsistent with that policy.

They only way you think we didn't get screwed is if you think we would have lost our last 2 I'm just not willing to claim that we would have won the Buffalo game. I believe we would have, based on how they were playing, but there's no real guarantee. I can't base my opinion on something that "might" have happened, so i'm basing it on where we are right now, going forward.

They were on their way to giving Buffalo a thumping Monday, that thumping will be continued in week 2 of the playoffs in Buffalo. This team can handle it.

I'll take the easier path to the Super Bowl that they deserve, thank you. ____________________________________________________________

Who gives a shit about winning the afc north when you’re not even guaranteed a first round home playoff game. I’d much rather be a Ravens fan with a 2nd place schedule next year AND a potential home wild card game

A higher seed and division winner should not go on the road in the 1st round. They need to make up their minds. If they want to do a coin flip, flip it for the MNF game we were winning. Exactly. The NFL decided to make a concession to the Ravens because they lost a chance to host a Wild Card game IF we had lost both games. They should have given us the exact same compensation for the Divisional round because we lost the opportunity to host the Divisional round IF we had won both games.

KC won't vote for it, as they're most likely the #1 seed and wouldn't want a neutral site AFCCG. I also hate to mention this, but only playing 7 minutes of football in a week this late in the season is a pretty big advantage. Even if a team sits it's starters the last week, there are lots of key backups, rotation players, and even spot starters at positions with weak depth that will have to suit up and play.

Boo this man.
Bengals would have finished the Bills off and secured the 2 seed at worst with a win over the Ravens this week. Bengals lost the possibility of having a second home playoff game when we play the Bills in round 2. That means revenue for the team and city.

On the positive side:
This should spark a hotter burning fire in the team to avenge the injustices.

I suppose they could take your approach and get in the fetal position and cry.

Yes, because the only two options available to us are either being belligerently cavalier about being screwed, or going into a fetal position and crying. No middle ground at all. Glad you recognized that. ____________________________________________________________
