    tough call probably the bye. Maybe the neutral site is the best call. glad NFL not pushing back the playoffs 1 week.

    Kermit, the rule they need to change:

    *The 4/5 host should be based on Straight-up Record (not Division winner).

    I'm OK w/ no Tie-breaker for this. IE, if records are even, Host = Division winner.

    horrible if you take a home AFCCG away from a team

    a conference championship game win for the home team is amazing... after the game the whole city/area everyone is pumped to the max the energy you feel is amazing

    prob just as good as super bowl because so many corporate people are there and celebs and the atmosphere from the crowd isn't close to a home team trying to win their conference

    from my experience in Indy when the Colts beat the Jets in the AFCCG

    Take that and try and run with it.

    Figure it out, give it thought, and try and find an edge.

    If you do, pounce.

    An investors dream no matter the sport, or any investment.

    Beats the heck out of guessing, or, action.

    I really think the Buf/CIN game will be abandoned. They shouldn't mess w/ the Bye vs Seeding.

    In some ways, it will work out as being fair:

    1) Kan City still has to earn the 1-seed on the field. If they don't win at Raiders, they won't lock up the 1-seed.
    2) Buffalo won't lose at CINCY. They might not get the 1, but they won't slip to 3.
    3) Cincy locks up the Division, which they might have lost.

    In a roundabout way, it's fair.

    *My specific question was re: Week 18.

    My two cents: Brady plays one series this week. Then the starters go into Deep Freeze.

    I don't doubt you on 1st playoff game. Bucs home game, they will be ready to go.

    Chucky why are you talking with Johnny like he is qualified to have a conversation?

    He isn't even educated past the first grade.

    agreed. they are not risking anyone's health. falcons winning might be easiest game of the week.

    Yep they wanna see what they got in ritter too. Especially against a top def like the bucs even if it doesn't have all the starters.

    i am fine with them not making up the game. i get it. however, that should eliminate buffalo from getting the #1 seed. it is a trade off.
