    That's not entirely true unless we have the same record as Houston going into week 17.

    If we were 7-8 and them 8-7 (or 8-7, them 9-6), week 17 won't matter due to division record tie breaker.

    A loss to Indy could change that, but we still need Jax to beat them too.

    We really want Indy to go 1-3 (finish 7-9) beating only Houston to improve our chances best.
    Ultimately, I don't think Tennessee runs that table which is why we need a little bit of help.

    It is entirely true, because all that controlling your own fate means that if you win then you are in. If we beat Denver and Texans beat Colts, then we are tied with Texans and as long as we continue to win, then we are in. Obviously, if you lose, then you run the risk of not controlling your own fate, anymore.

    So, you would rather put your playoff hopes on the shoulders of Sam Bradford than Marcus Mariota? I couldn't disagree more. I'll put my chips on Mariota over Bradford all day long.

    Titans go 3-1
    Other guys go 2-2

    I think we need to be 3-1 or 4-0 the last 4 games with help to have a chance.
    I can see the Colts and Texans being 2-2 to finish up but again we need help.
    The key games for us in my opinion are:
    vs Den - W
    vs Jags -W
    vs Houston - W
    I don't see us beating KC in KC.

    Outside of winning our divisional games the key games to help us are:

    Indy losing to Min & Oakland
    Houston losing to Indy

    I'm assuming we all beat Jags and Houston beats Cincy.

    That's exactly what I'm thinking
    Jags could beat Indy and Houston to help but I don't see that happening

    I'm curious on whether it'll change next season or whether it'll be the same as this season.


    It won't really matter if we fix our awful defense but that's one of my biggest questions about next season. This off season is going to be fun it in a good way for once.

    That's what I'm hoping, Jags beat either Indy or Houston is a bonus

    BUT if we took Ramsey at 1 and Henry where we did this wouldn't of happened.
