Bengals get absolutely screwed

It is inconsistent if KC loses, the Bills win, and the Bengals win. Because then KC has a half-game lead over the Bengals, but the Bengals could have tied KC (and won the tiebreaker) if the Bengals had beat the Bills in the MNF game. But the league decided that if KC has a half-game lead over the Bengals in the case of KC  being the 2 seed and Bengals the 3 seed, that that game will be in Arrowhead.

It is opposite the decision made in terms of the Ravens, and in terms of Buffalo-KC.

It's my understanding that the neutral site and if's only come into play for the championship round. Everything in the WC and division round is based on %s, with the exception of a Bengals loss to the Ravens which results in a coin flip. That is definitely not equal. 

So, if we're talking about potential AFCCG matches, it's fair, considering what a Bengals win does, while not being unfair if the Bengals lose...what is, as you pointed out, unfair is the %s for everyone but the Bengals, if the Bengals lose. 

I was talking about what happens if Bengals, Bills or Chiefs are in the AFCCG.
