Yeah, the Jaguars aren’t going to the playoffs. That doesn’t mean that we don’t hold the fate of other team’s playoff chances in our hands. It is nice being powerful in a season where everything else has fallen to pieces.
Baltimore will clinch the 6th playoff spot if they beat the Jaguars today. That is probably what is going to happen because we aren’t starting many players of merrit.
However, if we beat Baltimore things get more interesting. There are more than a few teams fighting for that spot and it has a lot to do with the AFC East. If we win and the Dolphins win and the Patriots lose, the Patriots will still make it in at the 6th seed. Miami will win the division and the Patriots will make it in as the wild card. I bet that would have felt really weird to type a year ago. If, on the other hand, the Jaguars beat the Ravens but the Patriots win, the Jets will come in as the 6th seed.
I guess that is why they moved our game today. The Patriots take on the Bills at 1 but the Dolphins play at the New York Jets’ the same time we take on the Ravens. The sixth seed will be decided at the end of the 4:15 games. How exciting!
