It’s pretty simple at this point, win and in. We couldn’t do it last year, can we pull it off this year? Or do we finish the year on three game losing streak?

2 scenarios left for the titans to get in:

1. Win. Beat the Texans and in. Tie breaker between us and Pitt goes to SOV, we win.

2. Lose with a necessary Pit and Ind loss.
At 8-8, Indy is the team that puts us out but wouldn’t get in themselves.

Cle loss today eliminated them.
Raiders win over LAC and they’re alive if all 4 teams end 8-8, raiders get the tiebreaker WC spot.

Damn so we have to worry about Oakland game too potentially?

how does Oakland get in over us? We should knock them out because of head to head

oakland diesnt really matter to us- they dont get in over us- we’d be knocked out in tiebreakers by Colts before we ever
got head to head with them.

what would happen is we get knocked out by Colts in the division tiebreaker rules, then Raiders win in a 3way tiebreaker between Steelers Colts and Raiders.

it’s the dadgum colts screwing us. c’mon Jax!!

Oh I gotcha. I need to read better he said if all 4 teams are in. Makes sense.
 
Once again it comes down to the final game of the year and sadly that doens'ty bode well for us if we go by history... We've played almost well enough to win these last two games but that doesn't get it done can this team finally step up and win a meaningful game for once in recent years ? Sadly, I'm not willing to bet the house on it, I've been here since 1977 (Oilers fan first) lived through the Love Ya Blue Bum Phillips years, the Buffalo Bills 35-3 meltdown, the heartbreaking Ravens loss on the flukey Ray Lewis Int ... Only 99-00 melted that horror away and that's 20 years ago now... I'm conditioned for pain at this point

He explained it well.

If all 4 teams are 8-8, raiders win.
If raiders, Steelers, titans end 8-8, titans win
If the colts, Steelers, titans end 8-8, Steelers win

If titans and Steelers end 8-8, titans win

If titans win (9-7), they’re in.

Odd that all 4 are on the road next week as well:
Indy @ Jax
Ten @ Hou
Pit @ Balt
Oak @ Den

Around the same time. It sucks to not have 1 SB trophy and have to stomach pit with 2 and hear that damn sixburgh.
I hate them. I would get no more enjoyment than knocking those f’ers out of the playoffs.
 
With our game moved to 4 next week, it is possible both teams rest players.

If KC wins against LAC at 1, houston gets locked in at #4.
If Jax beats Ind and Balt beats pit @1, we are locked in at #6.

Edit: I guess more than just our game got moved to 4. We don’t have the luxury of sitting players but could know an outcome before the game is over.

Agree—Pittsburgh and Baltimore. Would love knocking Pittsburgh out.
 
Titans-Texans moved to 3:25. Titans could be in the playoffs before they even play against the Texans.

Steelers and Ravens for me as well. I was 11/12 years old when the Oilers had those epic Pitts/Oilers battles and the infamous Mike Renfro catch that pretty much instigated instant replay and I'm still scarred lol ! That was back in the day you knew all your neighbors in the subdivision and had cool house parties on football Sundays with them rooting your team on, good times, ok I sound like an old man now (I guess cause I sort of am lol)
