That still is a bunch of BS IF the Bills & Chefs both finish in the same divisional slot next year & in '24, yes, the Bills will be the host team in '24, '25, & '26. The league used to have the different seeds go opposites (e.g., if the East played the full West then say East #'s 1&3 would host the Central's 1&3 respectively and travel to the South's 1&3 respectively while the 2's & 4's would host a team from the South & travel to their Central opponent.). This would tend to have teams playing each other repetitively on the same field if the 2 1st place teams both bounced to 2nd or 4th the next year. This way, you know which slot you will host & which you'll travel to regardless of where you finish. There is no "ideal" solution when trying to keep everything balanced. This is at least good. & if teams don't finish in the same slot they don't play each other every year. If they do, then they do. Oh, well.

dudacek Posted October 17, 2022 Report Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) Regardless of who you cheer for, Bills Chiefs continues to be the pinnacle of football as athleticism and entertainment. Just a treat to watch. I said the same after 13 seconds. If you can’t appreciate the way they play, you’re not a sports fan. Edited October 17, 2022 by dudacek 2 3
Flashsabre Posted October 17, 2022 Report Posted October 17, 2022 The Bills have had the Chiefs beaten 3 times in Arrowhead the past 2 years. As others have said, today is exactly why you brought Von Miller in. 3
ubkev Posted October 17, 2022 Report Posted October 17, 2022 Just read the thread, figured we lost by 2 TDs. 1

No team should have their biggest game of the year on the road 3 years straight. I understand the scheduling rules as you laid them out, but at some point common sense has to prevail. 1

Sabres Fan in NS Posted October 17, 2022 Report Posted October 17, 2022 These two teams are by far the best and most entertaining in the NFL. Unless something happens to upset the apple cart these two will meet in the AFC Championship game in January 2023. As it should be. The NFL should love this, but they probably won't since both are *small market* teams. In January these titans will clash in Orchard Park. Fantastic win. 1
Porous Five Hole Posted October 17, 2022 Report Posted October 17, 2022 It should be easier to find a zoom background of Josh Allen jumping over me than it currently is.
calti Posted October 17, 2022 Report Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) I presume you guys saw the replay on singletarys 3rd down carry on the bills final scoring drive. CLearly he got the 1st down..The ball was at the yard marker. Edited October 17, 2022 by calti

I didn't see enough views of the replay to know positively that the ball was across the first down marker when his elbow touched. It turned out Coach Clappy was right not to challenge it the way the game turned out.

Which other game in those two team's schedules do you flip in order to retain the balance? Then which other game do you flip for the next two teams impacted, and on and on and on... The league has a very rigid structure to their scheduling. There are going to be strange quirks here and there no matter what they do. 1
LabattBlue Posted October 17, 2022 Report Posted October 17, 2022 That was a GREAT game and win…hopefully it means a lot come the end of the season to determine who gets the #1 seed in the AFC.

I cared more about his 17/85 line carrying a cool, even 5.0 YPC. There's a lot of post-game talk about Allen, Diggs, Davis, Knox, Miller, Taron ... and rightfully so. But Singletary's - and his blockers' - performance was quietly one of the most encouraging parts of the game. (And yes, we were all yelling at the TV to go forward rather than lateral in that moment.) 2

Scottysabres Posted October 17, 2022 Report Posted October 17, 2022 If the Bills are going to make a trade, now is a great time to do so.

I don't think there's anything they can really do. It's two separate patterns that happened to fall that way due to a series of events. Back after expansion (early 1970's), they played teams in both conferences on a strict rotation. They tried for a bit to balance home and away between each pair of teams. Then Tampa Bay and Seattle joined and they went to the scheduling where weak teams played more weak teams while strong teams played more strong teams. They should go back to that. Maybe when they go to 18 games...
