ragevsuall17 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I haven't looked into it, but wild card scenarios. Tie breakers. Something as simple as if we and the Raiders end with the same record, we'd lose the WC tie breaker with them. The Jags may have the better WC tiebreakers... Depending on who wins and loses this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it possible that the Jags can clinch a playoff spot today but we cant? just say the scenario on NFL network and didn't understand how that was possible? From a post on reddit about this: I messed around with it on the NY Times and ESPN tools and this is basically what I was gonna say. Even if the Titans won this week and the Bills, Jets, Chargers, Jags, Ravens, and Dolphins lost, we could still be eliminated. The Raiders v Chiefs game is the tricky one, but we could still be eliminated whichever way it goes. Post Week 14, the Ravens winning out makes them 10-6 and us losing out makes us 9-7, giving them the 5th seed. A scenario which sees us losing the 6th seed is the Bills, Chiefs, and Raiders then winning out (after a Week 14 Raiders win), giving us, the Chiefs, and the Bills a 9-7 record and 7-5 conference record I believe. I don't feel like doing the math but ESPN's tool says the Bills get the final wildcard with strength of victory I assume. The difference here is other AFC teams can catch up with our conference record, the Jags' not so much. If you think a Chiefs Week 14 win or tie would be potentially clinching for us instead, a Chiefs win could just have them take the Raiders' place at #4, and a tie would give them both a better record than the Bills and us. The Jags win all their 9-7 ties because their conference record would still be the best after a favorable Week 14. Also, (with the Ravens still at #5 with 10-6 record) the Chiefs or Raiders could improve to 10-6, but not both due to current standings and remaining games, so the Jags will only ever be competing with other 9-7 teams for the final wildcard slot, which they win. TL;DR Jags have a better conference record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I said if we miss the playoffs, I'm aboard to get rid of the coach train. The struggle shouldn't be that hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetitans Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I can already see it. Its going to come down to winning against the jags to get us in. Good luck to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans0021 Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 Forgot to mention the Bills. One game lead in the WC race with two incredibly losable games. Best chance might involve the Jags being locked into the third seed before Week 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we get a win like Vince did against Colts backups to get us in the playoffs that year. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetitans Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 if we win out we still win the division. I don't see that happening but there is hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingTitan Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Offense just can't move the ball. The defense isn't the problem. It's this offense. Sad. Defense was such a problem last year, but now it's a strength. Offense that was supposed to be a strength might end up be the reason why we struggle to get in the playoffs.

ttitansfan4life Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I wouldn’t call the defense a strength quite yet. Definitely better but there are still some holes and I wouldn’t trust them against an offense thats worth a damn. Getting there but not where it should be yet.

Meaning they are the best part of the team. Not saying they are dominating type defense but they are the most consistent part of the team. We can't trust our offense against anyone. We can at least expect our offense to hold QB's like Gabbert in check for the most part. We can't hang our hat on anything this team does right now. But defense as it stands isn't the problem now. that is what I mean by that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
