Your Titans/Jaguars “Win or Go Home!” Open Thread

Your first of two tilts featuring a do or die thingy, the other being the Lions/Packers tomorrow night. Both home teams seem to have the momentum but they play the game for a reason goes the old chestnut. Let’s see what we have here.

To The Game!

Titans/Jags:

-Streaky! Oof, Tennessee has got to stop the bleeding-they’re on a six game skid while Jack Town has won four straight and 5 of their last 6. Plus, they are playing in the jungles of Florida which they call home.

-The Jags have the decided edge at qb where the journeyman Dobbs is just trying to get his first win versus the gorgeously-locked Lawrence who has led the league in completion percentage since November and has single-handedly made Zay Jones a viable fantasy entity.

-Jacksonville has very recently tightened up on defense as well. They’ve only allowed six points in the last two weeks. This bodes well for tonight because the ability to score points has certainly been an issue for the Titans-they haven’t scored more than 14 for three games.

-Since these last two played Tennessee have lost o-linemen Jones and Davis, edge Dupree and lb’s Cunningham and Long to IR. Additionally, Autry, Fulton and Hooker have lost time while recuperating.

-Just Humming Along: Christian Kirk, Jones and Evan Engram have all set career highs for receptions.

-Bad Luck?: The Titans have lost one score games to the Chiefs, Chargers and Bengals.

-The Jags are 2-6 in their last eight against this opponent and have not swept them since way back in 2005.

Goodnight, sleep tight. What the fuck does that mean, “sleep tight?”

I read that it’s back when part of the bed was an arrangement of straps, like fabric or leather. And it would get loose and loose was bad. So ‘sleep tight’ means, ‘hope your straps tight.’ This could be total bullshit though.

Pole question. Suicide league, 2k on the line for the winner, 2nd gets 600, 3rd gets 300. 3 of us left. One of the other 3 picked DUVAL this week and is finished. HOWEVAH, the first tie break is picked teams win. I have 3 more team wins than him entering this week, meaning I’m 3 games behind him on the tie break. Knowing he now has an additional 9 wins from DUVAL, I need to pick a team with 4 or less wins AND for that team to win.

The 3rd dude was tied with the other on the first tie break, so he has many options, with the only available threats to me in the 500s or Chi****.

I’m in the dilemma that I only have either the CLOTS and 500’s to win the tie break and of course they’re playing each other. Note a tie counts as a lose. My only other options are Chi**** and the Cards but those are as out as Strawberry Fields and Kiem on a bender.

So, who do I go with? I’m currently on the CLOTS. Wait, if me and the other guy pick the 500’s I lose even if they win. CLOTS it is.

Mr. Ayo

You don’t understand suicide leagues? Pick a winner each week. Pick wrong and lose.

Look, this is a simple poll. CLOTS or 500s to win tomorrow.

ballsofsteelandfury

I don’t understand the tiebreakers. Isn’t the point of suicide leagues that you can’t pick the same team twice?

Mr. Ayo

That is correct. But everyone isn’t picking the same team each week. So the collection of teams you’ve picked has their win totals added together for the tie break.

Not to make this more confusing, but it’s a 3 strike league, meaning you’re not eliminated until you’ve gotten 3 weeks wrong. The last standing of us all have.2 strikes, so it doesn’t matter in the final week.

ballsofsteelandfury

Ah! I get it. If you pick whichever team the worst team in the league plays each week, that makes it easier. Therefore, you give the tiebreaker to the person that picks teams not as likely to win.

Are you sure the other guy will pick the 500s?

Mr. Ayo

I doubt he would. We both know we have to pick a winner this week or we’ll lose. He only needs a team with less than 8 wins so far. That leaves him with DONKS, 500’s, Jests, Qards, Carolina, Bearistocrats, and Saints as viable options if he wants to win.

ballsofsteelandfury

Out of that group, I’d pick Jets. I’m guessing you already picked them.

If the game is in Indianapolis, CLOTS should be your pick.

I haven’t picked the Jests, but they have too many wins for me to overcome the tie breaker.

But yes, the CLOTS are at home.

Got it. I still think that CLOTS is your best bet.

Mr. Ayo

On it. Let’s hope this Sunday is the day for Saturday.

It’s not even 9 p.m. and I’m already contemplating how nice it will be to lay down in bed with my booky wook (“Kiln People” by David Brin).

First Wrexham won. The KC won. And then we got that game. Another great day of sports viewing.

Going to a game on their US tour?

If I can. Depending on the work schedule.

Fucking hell of a game.

I love that the Jaguars finished strong like the Raiders did last year. I hope they continue to follow in their footsteps by hiring Josh McDaniels as their head coach next year.

Currently at a sports bar in Toledo Ohio waiting to pick up a puppy tomorrow morning. The level of enthusiasm for this game is basically zero except me who went nuts for the defensive TD. The regulars were not amused lol

More like Dropps, amirite?

Alex_Demote

He is right

Brocky

Balls at the 50. Two minutes to go.

25 yards a minute. 2.4 yards per second.

It’s dark. Mark Vrabel probably wishes he was wearing sunglasses

Is Mark the other Blues Brother?

Brocky

Can’t be worse than John Goodman.

I mean I usually like John Goodman, but man that sequel was did not need to he made

Oh yeah, that was shameful.

3 sudden changes make a left. Or was it a right?

Mr. Ayo

That was a lousy arm punt.

DUUUUUUUVVVALLLLLL!

Denver gonna trade the rest of its players to have Henry take over at QB — let Derrick cook!

Mr. Ayo

And then they’re going to trade everything else to get Payton as a coach.

Chef Henry cooking guaranteed to give you big runs
