Not that I want to lose this game. Losing this game puts us in a corner where we might have to win all 3 after that, but in the overall scheme of things, this game is not remotely as important as the last game of the season against Tennessee. It's not even as important as the game a week from now against the Texans.
It is a must-win for this reason: Tennessee is visiting Arizona, then goes to San Francisco before hosting the Rams. So we have to stay caught up with them and that will not be easy with better teams than the Cardinals and 49ers coming up. Of course that is not to downplay the importance of our game at Tennessee.

Who are the Ramsl? There is no NFL team with that name.

Oops, nice catch there. I fixed it.
The coaches should have gathered up the defense this week and taken them to a local pig farm, greased
up one of those porkers and told the guys to tackle it. That’s what it’s going to seem like this Sunday against Russell Wilson, except this little piggie can throw accurate passes.

HTH is a terrible way to judge teams. The only thing that matters for that purpose is the overall body of work. Everyone in the media is saying the same thing: Jaguars > Titans.
So in the playoffs, they shouldn’t judge the teams on who wins or loses? Just their overall body of work?

OK, back to Seahawks/Jaguars. Who do you think will win?
Why do you feel the need to constantly bully people? Maybe they were making good points that have nothing to do with who will win. Read the thread title.
STOP BEING SUCH A TOOL.
Down down down, the Seahags goin down.
I predict seven sacks of the one called Wilson. edit: and three picks.

But
we don't have to stay caught up with them. We can lose to the Seahawks and if we win the next 3 games, we will then be tied with Tennessee and we will have the tiebreaker at that point, because we would only have 1 division loss and they would have 2. That's why our game against the Texans is so much more important than our game against the Seahawks. It's a division game and counts in the tiebreaker.
So, if you understand what I just wrote, then you understand, it's not a must-win game. Winning it would make things easier, but it's not essential.

I am jusdt saying what if we DON'T beat the Texans? This game is not a must-win for tiebreaker purposes, but if we lose tomorrow, we can't afford to lose next week.
Man, there are a ton of seahag fans here at ATL airport. I hope Jags fans show up in strong numbers tomorrow!
The wife and I decided to try and go to the game tomorrow until I looked at the ticket prices. We haven't been to a game since we gave up our season tickets a few years ago. They want over a hundred bucks a ticket to sit in the nose bleeds. That's simply ridiculous. Kneel-gate aside, I'm sure the prices have something to do with the noticeable drop in attendance across the league.
It's okay we can all take solace in the fact that we aren't facing Blaine Gabbert.

Who is charging selveral hundred dollars for bad seats? I highly doubt Ticketmaster would do that for this game.

Welcome to dynamic pricing. This is why I recommend people talk to sales Reps prior to the Season. Even if you don't go with Season tix, ETc you establish a relationship and they can often hook you up when a ticket ignites into flames.

The big thing is we can't fall behind by 2 scores or more. We have to keep the game close and be able to lean on the run game. Really hope Telvin is back as the LB's are going to have to play smart with Wilson scrambling. We have the pace from all areas to get him but the DB's can't cover forever, they'll need help. Going to have to be smart or we could give up some big plays like we did in Arizona.
Seattle are a different team on the road and if we can get an early TD that should give us the confidence. Make no mistake though, this is a huge game against a strong team.
But the interesting thing is, we can lose this game and if we win out from there, all 3 remaining games, we win the division.

Oh of course, it's not a must win in terms of an L and we're done but as another poster pointed out, i see this as a must win for 2 reasons.
Firstly, i get the appeal of a winner takes all, probably the 3rd seed against the T*tans. But let's not forget, they have beaten us once already this year and while i think we are better, we know this team is still climbing the mountain and those high pressure, got to make it, 3rd and longs are still something we struggle with. The T*tans are in the same spot and i think whoever has that slight lead between us has the upperhand. A few weeks ago people wanted Tennessee to beat Pittsburgh as we'd get the #2 seed by winning out and then we lose in Arizona.
Secondly, this year has been amazing, so much more and better than expected but ii want to see us against a proper playoff contender. Not some team 4-6 and not officially out of it, look at Minnesota, they've played the Rams, @ Detroit on Thanksgiving, @ Atlanta and they go to Carolina this week. That breeds confidence in the team, and i know you can't control your schedule but we have had a it pretty easy this year. Yes we won in Pitt but Roethlisberger threw 55 times and Bell was only back 2 weeks. To be fair, that performance is the kind of thing i'm looking for but we have been very good and very bad lately.

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.
^^^Football?
Speaking of tickets... Anyone excited for the possibility of receiving that playoff ticket in the mail? Hot damn! Like Christmas.
The Eagles are every bit as good as their record. It was a tough environment for them last week and it was only a matter of time for their reality check.
Wilson is the king of buying time and improvising. We need everyone to take smart angles to not give him an escape. Make him beat us from the pocket and have to make timely throws against our secondary.
