Yeah, I don’t entirely disagree with that.
As I posted above, the only effect of having 7 playoff teams is to give the top seed a bigger advantage.
JFC Purdy looks 12 years old.
Which, as we just saw, is the dumbest shit ever since the team who had control of the #1 seed and seemingly controlled their own destiny lost it due to a guy almost dying on the field. But also you can reward teams like the Eagles with an enormous advantage for simply playing the easiest schedule in football. Lol byes.
This is mostly for FCP’s benefit, but for the record, your pre draft take on Lawrence was pretty, pretty good. Definitely better than I gave you credit for at the time. I did not think he would be even this good.

I get where you are coming from, but I don’t think you need to worry about the Chefs. Your big problem is Buffalo. If you beat them, I’m gonna back up the truck on the Bengals in the AFCCG.
Even if you had beaten Buffalo in wk 17 (and I think that was going to happen), Chefs were still a near lock to get the #1. And if Buffalo won that game, then they get it. Cincy was not gonna host the AFCCG. You were robbed, but not of that.
Nobody is turning this off. This is like watching an execution on live TV.

I keep forgetting that even if JAX missed the FG, #1 CHARGERS would have given them another chance 5 yards closer.
To be fair, jumping offsides is pretty standard on an easy fg at the end of the game.

Could have easily cost them the game there.
I’m not arguing it from a Bengals fan perspective. They never had an argument or claim to the #1 overall without help. I’ve always been against byes in sports and always will be due to the amount of luck involved in getting them. Bills had control of the #1 seed and lost it due to a guy dying (that alone should be enough to prove how stupid this is). Philly played the easiest schedule in football. The advantage awarded by having one #1 seed per bracket side and also feeding them the worst divisional seed is not commensurate with the performance / achievement.

This is going to be the best all 22 breakdown I have done.

Does this post mean you thought he played well? He threw 4 picks in a half of football. Those are still on the card.
