Cincy was clearly the better team even in that short amount of time they played. And that was confirmed yesterday. Amazing some mush brains are still trying to defend the N.F.L. and give Buffalo the benefit of the doubt.

There is talk this morning from legit people that the NFL wants to move all NFC/AFC Championship games in the future to Neutral sites now. They have apparently fallen in love with the idea supposedly as a way to reward teams with "Super Bowl ready" stadiums.


How long till they are playing one in London?

The op was asking why the neutral field.

The only difference for Cincinnati was playing yesterday on the road instead of at home and I guess they play Miami instead of Baltimore in the first round.

I will never understand this. How much more money is out there to play at a neutral site versus the current set up?

It's got to be minor in the grand scheme of things. Maybe there's a little more hotel revenue, since a sizeable portion of the crowd in Kansas City and Philly will be driving in from their homes.
I kinda wonder if a neutral site game could backfire if there was a less than sexy matchup. Bills-Jaguars would have been a sellout in Buffalo. You think that matchup would fill up JerryWorld or SoFi?

Sorry us “mush brains” don’t have Time Machines and were thus unaware of yesterday’s result before yesterday. The only “benefit of the doubt” anyone is giving is what the actual records were. KC was 14-3 Buffalo was 13-3 Cincinnati 12-4 hence the 1-2-3 seeds in that order.

Something a “mush brain” understands that a super smart brain like you apparently does not is that it’s possible to understand and explain the logic behind something without necessarily agreeing with it.

Hotel revenue surprisingly benefits hotels not the NFL. The extra revenue would come from cities bidding on the game and perhaps higher ticket prices
