What if chargers lose and titans win? Wouldn't we still be in good shape?

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

 

 

When the Bills beat the Pats it will....

 

Lets start thinking the Bills will end 10-6, then the playoff in/out gets easy....

This where you messed up:

 

“If the Bills lose one game (to Pats)

Jaguars need to win today against the Rams AND lose to Jacksonville next week. Bills are in.”

You're welcome

Jags play the jags?

Only problem with with this is the jags will have nothing to play for next week and it's at Tennessee.  Here's hoping!

So - given the most probable of scenarios which is Bills losing today - we need to root for Titans to win out and Ravens to lose next week

He asked for help finding errors.  I found one. It was my Christmas gift to him.

We need the Jets to beat the Chargers.  If that happens, the Titans need to lose vs Rams, which is most likely.

It's almost impossible to know if we want the Titans and/or Chargers to win today.  So much depends on who else wins and loses.  Just win both Bills!!!  Much better odds.

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 Steelers or Pats drop a game, aren't the Jags still in the running for the playoff bye week in week 17?

They are, which is also true if all three win today.

It’s very realistic that titans lose to jags week 17 and the chargers lose to raiders. It could very easily not happen but it’s not unrealistic to see it going that way and us sneaking in. 

That something has already fallen our way with our win over Miami and the loss by Chargers last week and the Titans losing their last two.   It is now in  our hands to take control of this and control our destiny.  It all starts today.  One of the things people forget is that  we have also won 3 of the last 4 with one loss to the Patriots.  So may be tehy have the momentum to make it 5 out of the last six.

Jags have the tie breaker verse Pittsburgh and New England they do have something to play for if they win

no it's not.

 

you want the chargers to lose. a chargers loss puts them at 8 losses and out of the running.

Because, pimping his own website. That's why.

 

[Jamie Nails]

Everything going against us. Will need a lot of help on week 17. Looks like playoff chances will be under 20% if we lose and the rest of the results hold

[bills6969]

We're pretty much done unfortunately.  Best to just lose to the fish and get better draft position 

[Klaista2k]

We lose to the Pats and aren't getting any help that we need.

 

Welp looks like another year with no playoffs.
