Will the starters play Sunday ?
#1
My cousin got given 4 tix to the game Sunday and he's wanting me to go, do you all think that the starters play on Sunday ?

Why would you ever pass up a game?

If the Bills game is called a draw I don't see why we wouldn't rest as many players as we could

I think the entire offense will start just to get their heads back into the game and make sure they are comfortable making and receiving hits. I think selected defensive starters will sit.

Of course, we have to hear what the NFL's plan is first to make any real guesses

More than likely. At the very least the #2 seed is still up for grabs and i would like to think they would want the chance at a couple of home playoff games instead of just one.

If Bengals win and Bills lose to Pats, then Bengals are 2 seed. The starters are playing.

On other hand, if Bills game is declared no contest, Ravens will likely rest everyone since they likely will be back to Cincy in playoffs following week.

I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.

#2 seed is in play and I prefer to play Ravens than Chargers starting off our run for the SB in the playoffs so I don;t want to lose to Ravens,

I think that the starters should play. Otherwise, they will have only played one series on each side of the ball for three weeks from the end of the Patriots game to the first playoff game. I don't think they should go that long without playing.

If the Bengals win Sunday and the Bills lose, I guess we'd have to move to the 5th Tie-Breaker Strength of Victory

I guess then you'd have to ask if BUFs wins over Green Bay, Lions, Bears, Rams stronger than our wins over Atlanta, Tampa, New Orleans, Carolina

Difference is last year we were locked into #4 with no way to improve. This year we can still get #2.

If we win and the Bills lose, wouldn't we play the Patriots? Because in that scenario we are the 2 seed and would therefore play the 7 seed.
Everything in this post is my fault.

I imagine they will play because A.) You want these guys to get back on the horse and 2.) Two weeks off is a bad thing.

Jessie Bates left the Bengals and that makes me sad!

We win that tie-breaker.

It's not important but it's actually the 4th tie breaker since they're not in the same division. 

Bengals already hold the advantage in SoV and Buffalo has no way to overtake them.
