And making a decision on the Bengals-Buffalo game after the weekend games are played would make it look like the NFL bureaucrats weighed the results in their decision. You know, we like or don't like who is seeded 1, 2, and 3, and the division winner between the Bengals and the Ravens. i see no combinations of wins or losses this weekend in which the seeding would not be impacted by a game between the Bengals and the Bills.
And can you imagine being a team playing this weekend for a win thinking it'll get them in, they get the win and then find out after the fact the league decided on an outcome of the Cin/Buf game that actually takes them back out of the playoffs? The NFL is going to end up with a lot of very upset people if they don't make a decision sooner than later. I definitely expect the league is doing all of this at this point to keep this weekend competitive, but it's really, really wrong.
Bottom line? The longer the clock ticks, the more people are going to be upset at any conclusion the league reaches.
