It could very easily not happen but it’s not unrealistic to see it going that way and us sneaking in.

Gotta have hope something will fall our way.
boco357 Posted December 24, 2017 Posted December 24, 2017 Everyone saying Raiders won't lose to Chargers forget that their will be 35k raider fans there at Stub hub

Tomorrow really doesn’t have that much meaning, assuming we lose

Tomorrow really doesn’t have that much meaning, assuming we lose Yeah assuming we lose it doesn't, but if we win, it should almost certainly be win and we are in Week 17. That opposed to losing tomorrow and come week 17 going "if the Jaguars beat the Titans, the Chargers lose to Raiders, and the Ravens lose to Bengals" we are in! On another note, if we are so certain the Titans are going to lose, I think we can root for the Chiefs to lose out against the Dolphins and Broncos and still get in. Unlikely, but still another chance.
K D Posted December 24, 2017 Posted December 24, 2017 Titans game tomorrow has absolutely nothing to do with our playoff chances. Only relevant game tomorrow is the Chargers at Jets. Chargers need to lose either tomorrow or next week. Jets at home could give them a good game. Then Raiders the following week is a good rivalry game. So I would expect them to lose 1 of those 2. Hopefully it's tomorrow so we have a better idea of what we need in week 17. At that point all we will need is 1 win (Dolphins our best chance obviously) and either Ravens or Titans to lose in week 17. Titans will be the underdogs vs Jags and Ravens vs Cinci is a toss up, flip a coin type game imo. So I like our chances. There is a very realistic path to the playoffs. We just need to do our part and have a little luck along the way

Or is because of who they are playing in week 17 that they have to lose against? im kinda iffy about the Titian’s game in week 17. Hopefully the jags don’t sit starters seeing they have already clinched playoffs. Is there anything they might be fighting for? Edited December 24, 2017 by Braedenstearns

Hopefully the jags don’t sit starters seeing they have already clinched playoffs. Is there anything they might be fighting for? Titans have to beat the Jags to get in. They could win or lose this week and assuming we lose to NE it won't matter for them as long as they win next week. If they beat them then we are fighting it out with Ravens or Chargers for the last spot. If Ravens beat Cinci they are in. So basically if Ravens or Titans lose next week that opens the door for either us or Chargers. So we want Chargers to lose today so then it's just us who can sneak in! You are right, Jags won't have anything to play for, but they would probably want to win to keep a division rival out. Having played them twice and destroying them the first time, the Titans have the most knowledge about how to beat them. Also, Marrone doesn't seem like the type of coach that would rest players. Jags should be favored in that one so that is probably our best chance to sneak in

If the the Chargers win their last two, which they probably will, and we lose today, which we probably will, we need the Titans to finish 9-7 with a win today and a loss next week. Simply put, you want the Titans and Chargers to have the same result today. Either they both win. Or they both lose.

Only relevant game tomorrow is the Chargers at Jets. This is simply wrong. Titans win today helps the Bills a lot as long as the Bills lose. If that happens all that needs to happen in the last week is the Jags and Bills win and the Bills are in no matter what.
