While i really hope the Jags can secure a bye week, i won't get ahead of myself. They still need to win out. There's still a possibilty that the Titans can win the division.

Historically we are great against the Steelers yes, but Brady hasn’t been the same since his Achilles injury and they are one of the worst teams against the run. I think we could handle the pats at home

Brady struggles against any team that squeezes the pocket, and this team does that as well as anyone this year, so I agree I'd rather face the Pats at this point.  But, I'd also love to see this team go into Pittsburgh and repeat history from 2007.  I think we could handle the Pats at home or on the road.  Same with the Steelers.

I also get the tingles thinking about beating the Steelers at Heinz twice in one season... Again.

If we did that again, especially if we went on to win the Super Bowl...the Steelers fans would despise us.

I would love it!

Here is my question, how are home games figured out? Im trying to plan my January weekends.

If we lose to the Titans we likely lose the division and would then be the 5th seed.  Division winners get home games unless both wildcard teams make it to the championship game, then the 5 seed hosts the 6 seed.

Not as much as me...my in-laws are in Pittsburgh.   

Already got to gloat once over Thanksgiving when I was up.

I agree the Pats will come out firing, but I honestly think they are vulnerable this year. They are pass centric, but as another poster mentioned, you beat them with press man coverage, not zone. Pitt plays a lot of zone which is a problem in that matchup. We play both but are INFINITELY better in press man, and HOPE we play that exclusively vs them.

I just like the matchup vs NE better. Brady cant get away from a breeze let alone dlineman coming at him. Their only speedy WR is more quick than fast and is small, something the press can really negate. I dont think they can reliably run well enough vs us to worry about that. And on the other side, I think we can run vs them.

Not to say we should walk in to that game and destroy them, I just like the matchup

and ya, I too worry about the SF game because of the west coast thing, and the QB change. However I cant imagine us not taking care of business vs the texans with Yates at QB. I mean, all the good feelings I have right now would immediately be washed away if we came out flat vs Houston. If this team IS FOR REAL, they take care of business these final 3 weeks, ideally these next 2, with the titans losing to the rams, and like FBT said we can rest up our last week unless we are playing for the 2 seed.

One game at a time. The Jags haven't won anything yet.

If this ends up being a happy ending for the Jags... I can hear the media excuses now.
Brady finally falls off a cliff... Flacco is no good... I saw a list on twitter of all the starting QBs and star players that have gone down this season with injury.
Jags only win cuz everyone else is bad all of a sudden....


Whatevs though. Bring it on

You play the schedule you're given.  They can make all the excuses they like. Teams still go out and play the games. Nothing is a given.

Here are what the Jags have done against Super Bowl winning QBs this season.

Flacco - 0TDs 2 INTS
Ben R - 0 TDS, 5INTS
Wilson - 3 TDs 3 INTS

3 TDS. 10 INTS. Incredible.
