Big Blitz Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 In what scenario will Jacksonville be playing for something in week 17? Because if it's nothing I'm pretty sure Marrone ain't doing us any solids. Just a hunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dma0034 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Jaguars cannot leap Patriots unless the Patriots lose to the Jets. Patriots lose to the Jets and the Jags have a bye. That said imagine facing Marrone in the first round of the playoffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeginnersMind Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) The Jags will be likely playing to win vs. Titans last game of the season. Sure the Steelers play the Browns in week 17 but the Jags win the head to head tiebreaker with the Steelers. Marrone won't be resting any starters unless Steelers win (Texans) and Jax loses (Niners) this week. So this weekend, root for the Jags to beat the Niners. That will make Jax's week 17 meaningful vs Titans. That's a big one for the Bills. Edited December 18, 2017 by BeginnersMind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head to Head will likely be skipped in a 3+ way tie. As far as I know it'll come down to Common Games if all tied teams have 4 in common, or Strength of Victory if not.

Yesterday is like the 4th time this year I thought maybe they can make it, which was quickly dashed seeing subsequent games. I must admit it's nice being in meaningful games this time of year, but if we get left out on a tiebreaker that will really really suck. This team is going to give me a heart attack.

BuffaloHokie13 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 From what I can tell, we need: Titans to lose out (Playing Rams & Jags, so certainly plausible) Either the Ravens (Colts & Bengals) or Chargers (Jets & Raiders) to lose a game.

There are 4 ways we get in. 1. Win out and finish 10-6 and we are in 2. Titans beat Rams, lose to Jaguars. Chargers win out. We get in on a 3 way tie. 3. Ravens lose a game and we win 1 game 4. Jaguars beat Titans and Chargers lose a game Don't want the Titans to lose out cause then option 2 is taking away from us. Gotta root for then this weekend. They win and we have all 4 paths available to us. They lose and we only have 3 paths for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) I still don't think the Ravens are all that good to win 6 of their last 7 games...and close the season on a three game winning streak. I feel like they will be tripped up once even though they will be favorites. Jaguars got killed by Tenn earlier in the season at home. No matter what, they will be trying to redeem themselves in that last game. No way the Jags mail that in. As for the Bills, the best i expect is 1-1 in the final two. So i guess we'll need some help.

KDIGGZ Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) simple as this to get in: Titans lose to Jax in week 17 Chargers need to lose either 1 of the final 2 (Jets, Raiders) This is assuming we lose to Pats but beat Dolphins of course. This is the most realistic scenario. Anyone that thinks we are beating the Pats at their place keep dreaming.

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) IF Miami somehow upsets the Chiefs in Kansas City, and we assume the Titans lose to the Rams, they actually will have a pretty favorable situation going into week 17 to make the wild card at 8-8 in a four way tie with us the Chargers and the Titans. That's pretty crazy. Miami absolutely needs to lose to KC if both the Titans and Bills lose next Sunday as expected. Of course, I'm not sure what realistic scenarios get us in at 8-8, so it's sort of irrelevant as we will have to beat Miami week 17 if we don't beat New England this week. I'm just thinking if it goes down that way, Miami's odds of the wild card at that point will be better than ours since they will likely be favored down in Miami.
