As for losing the chance at resting the starters, well, they did get a rest. They didn't play a full game on Monday. Nobody got hurt. Now they are ready to go against Baltimore if they choose that route.

1. The Bengals win the AFCN, win or lose due to a better win % in less games. Baltimore has no say in that. The Bengals benefit from playing and losing one less game. 

2. Buffalo has won one more game than the Bengals, in the exact same number of games played. If's and but's do not count here. The Bengals were ahead but did not win that game. It didn't happen. The fact of the matter is, they could have just as easily lost the game. 

What are you saying if the Bengals were one game better in the same number of games and the Bills were leading in a game that was cancelled. Let me tell you--you're saying "tough cookies" because we have the better record in the same number of games played. 

3. A coin flip only comes into play if Baltimore wins this Sunday and the results of this weeks games cause the Bengals and Ravens to be matched up in the WC round. A coin flip is fair because the Bengals benefitted from potentially losing one more game vs Bills. 

To wrap it up....the Bengals were not screwed in any way shape or form and if you think they were, you're not being genuine or honest.

(01-06-2023, 12:50 AM)JaggedJimmyJay Wrote: Yes. They played an entire extra game that the Bengals did not play. You’re asking the league to treat that game as either a free win or a free tie, and ignore the entire possibility that they lose (with a four point lead in the 1st quarter).

It’s not the Ravens’ fault that the Bengals’ nulled game was supposed to be played in Cincinnati.

(01-06-2023, 12:50 AM)Nepa Wrote: The only chance for the Bengals to get a neutral site for the AFCCC seems to be if the Bengals finish 1st. If KC wins on Saturday and is seeded #1, the only possibility of a neutral site is Chiefs Bills. If Bills are number 1 and the Bengals #2, the game is in Buffalo (because same number of games played).

It appears that it is now Ok to ignore the rules simply because of inconvenience. The game should have been rescheduled as required by the rules and any other scheduling adjustments as necessary.

And it is not the Bengals fault either, yet of every team involved not one is impacted more negatively than us.
