The Steelers game now becomes huge

[Rob0729]

Now winning or losing the game on Sunday could be the difference between HFA or playing on Wild Card weekend.

If the Pats win on Sunday, they control their own destiny. They will hold the tiebreaker over the Steelers. They beat the Bills and Jets and they have HFA.

If the Pats lose to the Steelers and the Jags win out, the Pats are playing Wild Card weekend. The Jags would have the conference record over the Pats. The Jags have the Texans, 49ers, and Titans left on their schedule. So them winning out is very likely.

It might not be a bad thing the Sixth Seed in the AFC will be a horrible Team. Steelers - Jags - Pats by far.

I'll bet you $100 Jacksonville does not win out.

 

[Kdo5]

I think we'll beat the Steelers but it would be nice for Jimmy to help us out one more time with a big upset.

Yo.. @fnordcircle that seems worth considering..

We spotted those assholes a day and a half...

This.

I cannot believe how many people look at teams that are playing well and then just assume they will win out. It wasn't all that long ago that people in this very forum were talking about the Chiefs winning out. I guess some people never learn.

No way even Bortles can cause them to lose one of those games...I think lol.

The game NOW becomes huge? It is huge and has been for quite some time.

 

[Kontradiction]

It’s always been huge.

And, it's doubly difficult because the New England Patriots, their Quarterback and their Coach have no experience in playing "huge" games!

Anything is possible like a 5-7 Team going nowhere kicking our @ss. That said both the Jags and Steelers have made the most of their powder puff Schedules. The Jags have the Texans, 49ers, and Titans left on their schedule. The Jags have a Great Defense also a Running Game and some good young WR's. They can definitely do it against those also rans.

Any road game could easily be an upset.
Any division game could easily be an upset.
And BTW, Tennessee is 1 game behind Jax at 8-5 so they hardly qualify as an "also ran." Tennessee will probably even be favored.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people ignore history.

I never said they would. I said it is likely they will win out. That isn't a guarantee, but it isn't like they are playing good teams. The Texans will be down to their second string (actually third string QB). The 49ers aren't very good even though they have played much better with Jimmy G. The Titans are the only good team they face. I might be over estimating the Jags' chances of beating the Titans, but they are the better team.

I will say this the Titans are a Bogus 8-5 Team bet the house against them.

I did already last week Thanks Blaine Gabbert for the Xmas $!

yes, but now we are talking about not getting a bye. The anti has definitely been raised.

And I will add by far the Titans are trash...they are are not Beating the Rams or Jags even at home.
