Did the NFL balance that worst case with a long shot scenario at the number 1 seed like we had before? No
Does the league throw in a kicker for the Bengals such as a neutral location for a Bills vs Bengals divisional round? No.
....so to Summarize. Bengals get the worst part of the deal without a reward and no kicker to make it even. That's not a contract I would sign because there is no upside for the risk.
Yeah like I started my post with, I think we got the worst end of this. I'm just saying it's not like only we lost out, other teams lost some fairly big opportunities themselves.
It was impossible to reconcile this successfully in my opinion. Not saying this is the best scenario they could've come up with, but I think we get hosed the most, purely as we had the most still left to play for. We were probably always likely to lose a little more than the others.
