Anyone else have a good feeling about the Titans vs. Jags?

[Einstein]

Good call. I didn’t see it happening but very happy that it is!

Say what you want about Vrabel as a HC at times but he has team always ready to play and very physical.  He's quoted this week how much he hates losing and wants to win badly.  In addition Tannehill is going to start. In a one game situation he can be very dynamic and carve a team up. He realizes this is probably his last game with them and wants to go out with a win. They are home.  And Trevor Lawrence is beat up and really hasn't played that well this year(except against the Bills of course 🙄). I think there is a real good chance they pull off the upset and the Bills are in the playoffs before they kick it off. Would be nice to know that then can go get that #2 seed!

So, how you feeling about tonight?😉

Told you the Titans would play hard. I didn't expect them to win. And but for the Jags shooting themselves in the foot they wouldn't have won. But I knew they'd play full gas. It is just who Vrabel is.

Yeah, they did, and it didn't even cost them a draft spot.  

 

But yeah, the Jags were their own worst enemy today also.  

 

At least we're in although we'll all be a whole lot happier if we win tonight.  

 

Be nice if we win and Houston or Cleveland goes to Baltimore in the D-round with the Ravens rusty and beats them, putting the AFC CG in Buffalo.

I was RIGHT!!! Once in 2 thousand times. I sense a trend...🤣🤣

I think they will now play very relaxed and well. All pressure on the fish now. But hard to say. Both teams almost have to hold back a bit now with them possibly playing again in 7 days

[Logic]

I felt good about this matchup all week long because I had faith the team would want to play well for what would possibly be the last hurrah for Vrabel, Henry, and Tannehill.

Once I saw the first Titans drive, I felt even better. Henry running hard, Tannehill looking sharp, trick plays being dialed up, the stuff about Hopkins' contract incentives...this was a team playing to win!

I'll admit to getting pretty nervous in the 4th quarter, but...very thankful to the Titans today.

Come to think of it, the Titans helped us twice: Once by beating the Phins and making tonight's game meaningful, and again by clinching playoffs for us. The fact that today's win happened with former Dolphin Ryan Tannehill under center made it even sweeter.

Yea there are teams who in that scenario would worry about draft picks. But it just isn't who Vrabel is and even if his owner or GM told him to he'd tell them to go ***** themselves. 

 

If we win tonight the route of Pittsburgh and KC both in Buffalo is about the best it could be IMO. Despite the Mahomes factor.

Just sayin', it didn't cost them a pick.   ... regardless of anything else.

You should never have this mindset. Rooting against your team to make it so that we can get a higher draft pick because "'the odds of us going on the road and doing anything isn't good". You have to get in to make it happen and I would still gladly take the 7 seed to make that happen. Wanting another team to win that would eliminate us with a loss is just flat out stupid 

MY mindset is get the 2nd seed.  How did you possibly read into what you quoted & come up with what you did?  I want the Bills to be hungry to get the #2 seed.  I'm hoping they're still as hungry as if they didn't clinch anything yet.  #2 seed means 2 home games vs going on the road to KC in round 1.

I agree but I do sorta see the logic. If the Bills can't beat Miami tonight with Waddle and Mostart sitting how are they beating them in Miami next week with both of them back? I know any given Sunday and all but feels like that stage they would be a bit wing and a prayer. I'd still rather be in than not. But I understand the thinking that if we can't win tonight it is better to try and pick 19th or 20th in the draft than 22nd or 23rd. Especially with where that second tier of receivers (after Harrison who is alone in tier 1) - Nabers, Odunze, Coleman - might come off the board. 

 

I know there are some people who don't even want to think draft yet, and that is fine. But it is the time of year when my mind turns to it regardless of whether the Bills are in or out.

There was no logic to his post at all unless he replied to my post by mistake & was answering someone else.

Because I read it correctly. Yes, by winning we get the 2 seed but you realize that wanting the Jags to win is still rooting against us because them winning and us losing eliminates us. It's pretty simple how I came up with it

It's a totally illogical conclusion. The Jags wouldn't have eliminated us with a Bills WIN.  You need a remedial reading comprehension course.  There was nothing said about draft picks.

Yes, but you can't count on a win. Therefore rooting for a Jags win is rooting against the Bills. The Bills will still be just as hungry for the 2 seed. I'm sorry the Titans won today. I hope you're not too hurt by it.

You still don't know how to read the posts you quote.  Explain how you went to talking about the draft in your reply when the draft was never mentioned & the post was about wanting the Bills to get the 2nd seed.   When the Bills win tonight your conclusion will make even less sense than the little sense it makes now.

The draft is a moot point. I probably shouldn't have mentioned it. Someone was here the other day saying that they wouldn't have minded if the Bills lost because if they got the 6 or 7 seed that they wouldn't have gone far anyway and would have liked a higher draft position. I was just basically comparing yours to theirs. You're still rooting against the Bills wanting the Jags to win which would coincide with a higher draft position if they missed. However, my response to your thread was moreso about how rooting for the Jags is rooting against the Bills moreso than you wanting a higher draft position
