Important games this weekend

[CR91]

Wildcard Implications

 

Tonight the ravens play the chargers. If the ravens lose tonight, its win out and we're in.

 

Steelers play the saints tomorrow. If the steelers lose and we win, we move up to the sixth seed regardless if the ravens win or lose

 

Division Implications

 

For us to stay alive for the division, the Texans will need to lose to the eagles. The colts and the Titans losing also clinches the division for the texans.

 

First Round Bye

 

Yes as crazy as it sounds, we do have a shot at a first round bye, but its a very long one.

 

The colts would have to win out, the texans and pats would have to lose out and the steelers and ravens would have have to lose once. The Texans play the eagles and Jags. The pats play the bills and jets

[2006Coltsbestever]

Yep, this is a gigantic weekend. This will show us alot. 

[Nesjan3]

Odds are Colts at Titans week 17 will decide the 6th seed, but there is a number of crazy scenarios that can happen. Go Chargers! Go Saints! GO COLTS !

[rockywoj]

Go Redskins!  Go Chargers!  Go Saints!  Go Eagles!

 

And oh yeah, Go Colts!!!

The redskins beating the titans does nothing to help us

Yes it does.  A Titans loss combined with a Colts win means the Colts finish ahead of the Titans if the Colts win OR tie in the final game.

 

Plus if the Titans lose, Ravens lose, AND the Colts also lose, the Colts would still be well in the running heading into the final game. 

[coltsva]

What a Titans loss could also do is make the week 17 game meaningless for them.

Example:

Week 16

Titans lose, Colts win.

Steelers lose, Ravens win.

 

Week 17

Colts/Titans gets flexed to Sunday night. On Sunday afternoon both Ravens and Steelers win. That would make Sunday night a win and in for Colts and meaningless for Titans.

How funny would it be for the Colts to get into the playoffs by playing to a tie in week 17.

I mean it doesnt help because we'd still have to beat them. If they beat us, theyll be ahead of us after week 17

a win would leave us ahead of Tennessee anyways, even if we lose this week and Tennessee wins 

[coltsnation]

We are New Orleans Chargers fans this week

But it would leave us behind Ravens if they also end up 9-7, and behind Steelers unless they lose both their games.

Mariota is down with another elbow injury!

Could make things interesting for sure. Same elbow he’s had issues with this season. Knocked him out of the Colts game too. 

[Chrisaaron1023]

Let's go Skins! And Chargers!

This is kinda bitter sweet. With Gabbert in at QB next week well that's not how I pictured the game being huge disadvantage to Tennessee. The main question is can Gabbert beat the Redskins?? I really want the Colts Titans game to be flex into the Sunday night slot next week as I have tickets and will be going to that game!!!

Im not the type to be happy someone is injured even if it helps the colts. I always pray for no injuries

[coltsva]

Going to be a lot colder at 8:30pm than it will be at 1:00pm.

Still could be flexed. You’ll get your answer at the start of the 4th if Mariota still isn’t in the game and is ruled out. 

[chrisfarley]

on ESPN, it shows that with the Titans down 9 to 10 they still have a 65.2% probability of winning.  Not a good sign.  I hope they lose but not likely. 

[tweezy32]

Doesn't matter of titans win or lose this game.  We still have to beat them to get in basically

[IinD]

We love backup QB's, Gabbert will channel his inner Cody Kessler.

 

We're doomed.

[Chrisaaron1023]

So if the titains lose and we win.. they still have a chance??

No. BUT they can play spoiler and knock us out of the playoffs too.

A very small one. Baltimore or Pittsburgh would have to lose twice and Miami would have to lose once more.

If the titans and us have the same record after week 17, they will be ahead of us

If Baltimore also loses?  Yes.

But 9-7 wont do it, since the Ravens at 9-7 would get ahead of both teams. Then the Steelers would win the AFC North. So if the Titans lose we can say goodbye to their playoff chances.

Good point, but we'd still have to beat them next week

Gotta go 10-6 to get in but it looks like Tenn. is going to win anyways. I just don't see how they barely beat the Skins at home and then beat us. We're much better than Washington, but any given Sunday, right?

[IinD]

And Tenn looks to have lost Casey on defense. This is working out well for us next week.

[DraftMaster]

C'mon Washington! Please take Tennessee out of the playoff race!

[Chrisaaron1023]

Tenn escaped

[Boiler_Colt]

Blaine Gabbert keeps Tennessee's season alive.

[DraftMaster]

Whatever, Tennessee still won't beat us...

[csmopar]

I’m gonna make this simple. Win out and see what happens. 

[mahagga73]

Nice throw by Johnson at the end.

We lost 6-0 to Cody Kessler.

Titans are currently in the sixth seed for the time being

Titans would be in the sixth spot if the ravens lose for the time being

But if we beat the Giants we'd be 6th with a win and in against the Titans. I like our odds...
