HFA: Man, we have to run the table and get help…from the Pats and Steelers

Love the game, love the effort and I am not overlooking it, but man what a screwy season and what a place we are in.

 

The Titans schedule is almost stupid.

 

Texans

@Patriots

Jags

@Steelers

Niners

Dolphins

@Texans

 

Two teams we don’t want to lose ground to we need to pull out wins, and even that is a tall order.

 

Even with that we only need:

 

Colts - W

Saints - W

Pats - W

Bucs - W

Panthers - W

Pats - W

Falcons - W

Jets - W

 

You know what, the heck with it.  Fine, we pass them or we don’t.

 

I just absolutely want another shot at them and if it is down there, so be it.  I may make that trip.

 

Go Bills.

Titans are going to have another embarrassing loss. That's just the story of the season. Your team is on top for a week or two, then you get embarrassed by a bottom feeder or mediocre team.

 

Plus, they are a streaky team and always have been. They are playing well right now, but they'll have another low streak I bet.

Henry out for the year, Julio never healthy and their only legit threat on offense is Brown, who also seems to be on the injury report every week himself.  This Titans team is on a good little run, but they are far from a juggernaut.  Lots of football left to be played still, they are dropping a couple along the way, especially with how weird the NFL has been this year as far as good teams laying eggs every week.

It's going to be difficult to get the 1 seed given their remaining schedule. 

 

The Bills are the better team but the loss vs them plus them pulling off wins vs the rams and saints was a disaster for our chances. 

 

Bills lose 1 and Titans lose vs pats Steelers and 49ers? 

 

We can't lose more than 1 game. 

 

A failed QB sneak that we convert 19/20 times may end up being the difference. Ugh.

I think most suspected at the time that the loss to Tennessee would hurt, but not to this degree.

 

At this point, the #1 is out and I will be rooting heavily for the Titans against the Pats in 2 weeks. Sucks, but we HAVE to secure the division first.

I really don’t think the Pats* are as good as everyone seems to be thinking they are. Obviously their D is better with the additions and all the guys they got back after opting out last year but damn, I’m not on that Mac Jones train yet. He seems limited, physically, and I may be understating that. Not afraid of Chad Pennington v2.0

Long way to go but Bills probably will finish with 4 or even 5 losses. Probably not catching TEN due to mostly a 4th and short that they couldn’t convert. Not the end of the world. Just have to focus on winning the AFCE. 

Just need to get the #2, which is easily within our reach given our schedule and ability. If that happens who knows maybe the Titans will slip up in the divisional game

4 weeks from now everything will be different, just like 4 weeks ago everything was different.

 

You really think the Titans will be the top team in the AFC come season's end? Any one of their opponents could upset them any given week. They aren't some juggernaut team.

 

Just have to see how things play out. The Bills need to just go win and everything else will work itself out.

Titans have played a lot of very close games and had a few key calls go their way etc. That’s what it takes sometimes but they don’t separate much in games. They’re not capable of building a lead consistently and are definitely vulnerable if one or two things don’t break in their favor.

I'm torn on this. Jones has looked pretty good for a rookie, but it also helps when your team runs the ball at will, is well coached, and plays solid defense.

 

His upside seems limited. I think he can have a solid career, but it will be sort of a Baker Mayfield situation.

Even if the Titans finish with the #1 seed I can see them getting beat in the divisional. 
 

With that scenario here is how I see things turning out.

 

#1 Titans 14-3

#2 Bills 13-4

#3 Ravens 12-5

#4 Chiefs 12-5 

#5 Patriots 12-5

#6 Colts 11-6

#7 Steelers/Bengals/Raiders/Chargers 10-7


Wild Card  

#2 Bills vs #7 (***Steelers***). Bills win Big Ben’s final game, and for 2nd year in a row send a HOF QB from Class of 2004 into retirement.
#3 Ravens vs #6 Colts. Ravens find a way to win.

#4 Chiefs vs #5 Patriots. Mac Jones & Belichick can’t find Brady magic. Tuck rule saves Chiefs late. 

 

Divisional

#1 Titans vs #4 Chiefs. Mahomes & Co win going away shutting down the aging RB & WRs of Tennessee.

#2 Bills vs #3 Ravens. Buffalo’s D does it again & shuts down Lamar & Co. 

 

AFC Championship 

#2 Bills vs #4 Chiefs. Lake Effect Snow, Bills Mafia & Dominant Defense stop the Chiefs passing attack. Bills run for over 250 yards and Allen runs for 2 scores.

It will be very difficult defeating the team (it looks like the titans) with the bye.

 

We just blew it vs. Tennessee and Jaguars..... But I guess it is what it is and we have to play it out.

Maybe the Bills hit their stride and actually do win out and the Titans do lose two. Hey, it's the NFL  you never know....

What's Feliciano got another week minimum? Maybe our line solidifies and our RBs really surprise and play like nfl backs....
