Raiders havent been THAT team for quite a while. Aldon was the first guy with character issues that we contacted in years. With that being said he was drama free and great for us. I hope we bring him back if he has a quiet suspension period.

Well said, he was great for us on and off the field, if he stays clean I welcome him back with open arms... Can he stay clean and out of trouble is the question

cause he was "ineffective"

hard to get meaningful yards when they only put you in for one run every quarter, mcfadden wasn't doing anything either until he got the volume

They didn't like Michael's fit in the offense or his grasp of the playbook. Of course our coaching staff is so inept, I trust them 0% in anything.

It's game day.

I don't think I would lose much sleep if this Color Rush gimmick went away after this season.

The gold uniforms are okay, but I don't like how they are getting away with our original color (teal). I think all teal would look really good.

The Jags better win this game to keep us in the race for the South division.

You knew when the NFL signed with Nike this kind of stuff was inevitable.

With the Texans and Colts both underdogs this week and the Jags favored there's a real possibility of a three-way tie atop the AFC South at 4-6. It seems like there's a good chance of a team with a losing record making the playoffs. The last 2 teams to make the playoffs with a losing record, the Seahawks in 2010 and last season's Panthers, both ended up winning a playoff game.

Jags "could' be at .500, but I'm liking what I'm seeing. All I want to see from them is to be competitive. We're scoring points on offense, we're racking more yards. Now we just need to convert it to wins which I'm expecting them to next year if there's no huge changes.

Last time where the Jags could of clinched the AFC South for the first time was back I think Week 16 against the Colts during Manning's last year with that team. Of course we lost on the road and didn't get the playoff birth which we could of host our first Playoff game since 1999.

Big reason for that was they both were home for that game but then when they went on the road the next wk they both lost.

I think a division winner should make the playoffs BUT they shouldnt be guaranteed a home game - they should reseed 1 to 6 based on record so a 7-9 division winner would be 6 & play at 3.

Was talked about last off season but they didnt have enough votes - wonder if that changes this offseason.

As much as I loathe the Color Rush unis, I think the Titans all blues will look pretty sweet.

PS - Go JAX, I wanna see a glut at the top of the mediocre AFCS although HOU will whip our a*s this weekend.

Could see the same thing in the NFC East!
Because of this I think playoff seedlings should be based on Conferance standings. Sure you can get in by winning your division, but you won't get an automatic home game.

Really? I think we look like a bunch of smurfs. We've worn these before. I'm not a big fan.

But the Jags all gold is possibly the worst uniform I've ever seen. It will be an awful display tonight.

I expect Robinson and Hurns to have big games tonight. Our secondary is dead. DGB, Douglas and the other scrub WRs behind them are going to have to step up for us to have a chance. Would be nice if Mariota had Robinson and Hurns to throw to.

Should be a close game either way. Go Titans!

Division winner should always get a home game unless they have a losing record. That's a good compromise imo.

I don't think they could make a rule like that as it could vary from year to year.
Either way, if a division winner has less wins than a wild card team, they shouldn't get to host a game. Winning your division will get you in, just not a guarantee of a 3/4 seed.
You are awarding one team for being in a weak division, and penalizing a team in a strong division.
Personally I'd like the NFL to get rid of divisions , entirely, and just have two conferences, but that will never happen.
