We are going to make the play-offs.

what are the odds of winning out?

Seriously though, you actually have brought something to the table here other than wishful thinking. I think the Titans can beat the Jets and Chiefs if they play the right kind of game. I don't really know about all that help though. What are the odds Cleveland slips enough?

jmac1383, last year we needed a win PLUS a Bengals loss, a Broncos loss and a Chiefs win over Jacksonville. That would have put three teams at 9-7 for the last Wild Card spot and since Kansas City would have eliminated Denver in the division tiebreaker Tennessee would get in based on division record. A Jets loss wouldn't have helped them since the Jets beat the Titans earlier in the year.

 

As much as I'd like to share the optimism that we will make the playoffs, i don't have a lot of belief in the team I've watched this season. Our only real quality win came in week 1. If anything this team appears to be getting worse throughout the season.

That being said, the end of the season is the right time to get hot. This season isn't over, and nothing about a Herm Edwards Chiefs team scares me, except their home field advantage.

IF, this team can play up to its potential in every phase of the game (O,D,ST), then I believe the Titans can play with anyone. It's almost too late, so it starts now or bring on 2008.


I have optimism that the Browns will choke their advantage away, but that's meaningless if the Titans can't handle business.

How soon till Chris Henry gets back? We need him. Will this be his fourth game of the suspension?

 

Is this before or after monkeys fly out of my butt?

 

85% chance we make the play-offs if we win out.

All we can control is winning out. The rest will be what it is gonna be.

 

Well, that settles it. Pack your bags. We're headed to Pittsburgh!

 

Just data BP. Sorry if it is too rough on your delicate tissues.



85% chance of making playoffs if we win out.

 

you sure have done an "about face" since yesterday.

 

Sunday's loss was one of the worst I've felt and certainly made worse by watching it happen live in front of me. Before I found that website, I wanted to forget about the rest of this season. Hell- I didn't want to watch another game with Chow and Schwartz on staff. (I'm still not certain I'm over that.)

But seeing those statistics and scenarios on that page- particularly the 85% chance of making the playoff if we win out- that REALLY opened my eyes. It brought into focus what almost each one of the players have been saying in different ways- that basically the only thing that they can control is winning the games in front of them. That didn't mean much to me because I thought that even if they did that- so what- that is what the Brown's, Bill's, Jag's etc players are ALL saying and they have a much better chance of doing.

But that page- it said 85%. I looked a little deeper- Browns v Bills this weekend will take care of one of the other (hopefully the Bill win). The Browns then got to get past the Bengals in Cinci-and that is DEFINATELY no gimme. The Bills have to beat the Giants and Eagles- that definately won't be easy.

So do I feel good about beating KC (away) and NYJ (home)? You bet. Do I feel good about beating Indy (away)? If they are resting their starters which they traditionally do when they have clinched- you bet I do.

So in my book- not all is lost yet. We take care of KC and after this week our chances get bumped back up significantly- especially if the Bills beat the Browns. My hopes will live for another week.

85% chance we make the playoffs if we win out.
