The tacks will have the advantage of knowing the result of our Thursday night game going into their game against the tinhorns this weekend. If we lose to the Jets, they can try to render the week 18 game meaningless by playing hard to win and doing the same against the cowgirls the following week. If we win Thursday night, Vrabel might consider taking the approach that their next 2 games probably don't matter so don't game plan too hard, let your big dog Henry rest a bit and use him sparingly or not at all, let Malik get some playing time in, etc. and just get ready for what will essentially be a week 18 playoff game against our Jags.
