The hell? 

After yesterday we need to play next week with that chip on our shoulder we seem to thrive on. We need to shut down all the haters. Most of all we need to end the regular season with a win, especially over the Titans. Why on earth would we play next week like it doesn't matter? We're not done until the final whistle blows. 

I didn't get to see the game, of course, but what I'm reading regarding the drama from the players has me concerned they don't quite grasp the seriousness with which they need to take their position. Guys like Poz who have been grinding it for years on this team get it, but the younger guys and those who have been on winning teams prior to coming here may not. They need to sack up and get their heads straight or they're going to fail badly.

In regard to the Jags' postseason success or failure, the game is meaningless. 

However, I think it would be a major shot in the arm to the younger players (and probably the QB) if they can go into nashville and pull out a victory.  Especially if they do so with a few of their banged up starters resting.  That type of momentum headed into the playoffs would be beneficial IMO. 

A win in week 17 would likely mean more to the fans than the players and coaches, but I'm certain the Jags organization isn't approachinging it lightly - even if they do sit a few players.
