heyitsmeallen Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) I thought it would be good to have a thread dedicated to games during the BYE that effect the Titans season. Post any news/ discussion relating to these games in here. Games that effect the Division/wildcard BOLD are the teams we want to win. (W) is team that won. HOU @ (W) GB (This is the biggest game of the week for Tennessee. A win here for GB ties the Titans for the division lead) IND @ NYJ (we need the Jets to win to keep the colts from trying to stay in the race and to get closer to moving the Rams 1 spot lower on the draft board) (W)DEN @ JAX (Denver is our next game so it's good to keep an eye on injuries) (W)KC @ ATL (KC is in the wild card race) MIA @(W) BAL (MIA is in the hunt) BUF @ (W)OAK Games that effect the Rams 1st round pick Rams record- 4-8 after loss to Pats. LA @(W) NE (we need the Rams to keep losing to get that draft pick as high as possible) SF @ (W)CHI (SF 1-10 vs CHI 2-9) (W)DEN @ JAX (JAX are 2-9) IND @ NYJ (The Colts are 5-6, Jets are 3-8) CAR @ SEA (CAR is 4-7) HOU @(W) GB (GB is 5-6) PHI @(W) CIN (PHI is 5-6, CIN is 3-7) (W)TAM @ SD (SD is 5-6) Edited December 5, 2016 by heyitsmeallen titanruss, TeamBass, helimachoptor, and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
japan Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 I can almost guarantee that NE will run the score up on Fisher. Ever since that questionable block by Bobby Wade on Harrison, Belichick has taken special glee in humiliating Fish.

Former_Fan Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) Unfortunately, both the Texans and Colts should win this week, at least on paper. Even worse is that our defense is so bad, that we realistically could lose all our remaining games. I don't see the bye week being a huge factor, as our lack of talent on defense is what it is, at least for the rest of this season. The Bears were by far our easiest remaining game on the schedule, and we were barely able to pull it off and more of that was pure luck. Not addressing the secondary last off season is haunting us right now. And retaining a head coach that no other team in the league would take is too. Fisherball was in full effect yesterday.

scine09 Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Miami-Baltimore, Buffalo-Oakland, Denver-Jacksonville and Kansas City-Atlanta are also big games for the wild card. Gotta root for Baltimore, Oakland, Jacksonville and Atlanta in that order. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wondered why the past 2 times he's faced Fisher he's demolished him. That would explain it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scine09 Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Just now, bizzyeddie said: giants over Pitt wouldn't hurt either Yeah I'm not quite as concerned with the AFC North teams. They do play each other. The Steelers and Ravens have the tie-breaker over the Titans though. I guess I'm just assuming that Pittsburgh will win the division and Baltimore will falter. The Ravens have to go to New England and Pittsburgh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ravens have to go to New England and Pittsburgh. that was my assumption also but who the fuck knows. And in reality if the Ravens own the tie breaker over us (are we sure about that??) then realistically they have a 2 game lead on us as do the dolphins so it's hard to say who to root for in that game. Giants beating the Steelers is nothing but good. Alcibiades 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giants beating the Steelers is nothing but good. Yes. Baltimore has already lost 3 games against the NFC (the Titans only lost 1) which guarantees that the Ravens will have a better conference record in a tie-breaking situation. Same with Pittsburgh for that matter as they've lost 2 already. I guess you could make the argument that Miami and Baltimore are equal since the Titans will almost definitely have the tie-breaker over the Dolphins but definitely not with the Ravens. However, the Dolphins schedule is a lot easier than the Ravens. The Dolphins play an overrated and quite frankly bad Cardinals team flying across the country week 14 who looks like they're totally done (I think a win over the Redskins would be good for the Titans because it would give the Cardinals something to play for in the Miami game), at the Bills and Jets and then host the Patriots who may already have the #1 seed locked up at that time. You're going to need at least 2 Miami losses to even tie them if the Titans win out. Baltimore on the other hand has 2 very tough road games at NE and Pit and also has to host Philly and go to Cincinnati. I don't think there's a guaranteed win among their remaining games. I see 8-8 for the Ravens. Also the Ravens have the division title fallback. So even if the Ravens keep winning there's no guarantee that Pittsburgh will. Miami only has the wild card so they'd definitely be in competition while Baltimore may not be. Edited November 28, 2016 by scine09 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BeedoeLaw Posted November 28, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 It's a must win for green bay. It is in Lambeau. houston has not been very good on the road. I could see green bay winning this game. The jets played the patriots tight yesterday. If their defense plays up to its potential they could easily best the colts at home. We could easily come out of this weekends games tied with houston for first with indy one game back. Then it is on us to handle business.

I see 8-8 for the Ravens. not making the argument...it is what it is..if Balt owns the tiebreaker than that puts them 2 up on us...same as the dolphins whom we do own the tie breaker over. I'm interested in the wild card cause I think that 9-7 can get us in if the chips fall the right way. We gotta beat the broncos or the chiefs and win out from there. Guessing as of now that it's the broncos game we gotta win..that puts them 1 game up on us with us owning the tie breaker...they got a tough finish to the season. If we can finish 9-7 then I think our best path would be for the ravens to beat the dolphins..giants beat the steelers and the ravens go on to win that division. that would mean the steelers would need to finish 3-1 over last 4 to get to 9-7 and take the wc from us. Dolphins would also need to go 3-1 over next 4 to get to 10-6 and beat us out. this still leaves the bills colts and texans floating out there for wild card all of which own the tie breaker over Titans. This is all likely to change next week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonboy Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Moves this game from a tossup to a likely Colts victory, imo. heyitsmeallen 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scine09 Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Buffalo may be a challenge. They absolutely have to lose to Oakland this week. If that happens and the Titans beat Jacksonville the Titans would have the tie-breaker over Buffalo if it's just the 2 of them tying based on common opponents. If Buffalo, the Titans and either Denver or KC tie the Titans will likely lose the tie-breaker. It would come down to strength of victory. Or conference record if the Chiefs lose to Atlanta this week and KC is the team tying with the Bills and Titans (KC would have 2 NFC losses and the Bills and Titans have 1). Based on the fact that the Titans will have beaten Cleveland, likely Jacksonville twice and the Bears while the Broncos/Chiefs will have no wins like that I think they would ultimately lose the tie-breaker. Regardless of if the Titans beat the Broncos and/or Chiefs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bizzyeddie Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 titans and bears tie on conference record..then goes to common games but I think you need at least 4 for that to matter which we don't have with the bills so goes to strength of schedule...guessing bills win that as far as Denver and KC goes it's gonna be head to head so we gotta win one of those games and hope it's the right one. that's what I assume...not sure...and does it change if there is more than just 2 teams tied at the end of the season??not sure on that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
