the titans season about every yearYeah they played just well enough to screw themselves out of a really good draft spot.

Backing into the playoffs by losing 3 in a row just to be blown out in a first round playoff game seems to be the fate of this team.
The Titans have a win and in scenario for Week 17. Are you saying instead of playing for a playoff spot they would have been better served to tank?Yeah they played just well enough to screw themselves out of a really good draft spot.

The Titans drafted Corey Davis last time they had a top 5 pick. Count me out for playing for draft picks every year. The last half of this season has actually been pretty exciting being in the playoff race. Can't imagine cheering for my team to lose so their draft pick improves.Long term yes. Short term is no. That is the nature of pro sports. If you stand still you will get run over. You want a green and growing team, yet you want to "win now". You can't do both at the same time.
Honestly the difference between the 22nd and 20th pick is minimal it is not like they have a chance to move up into the mid-teens with a loss. They got this far and should be solidly in the playoffs before now. I would rather they win and have another game to improve off of in the off-season.Long term yes. Short term is no.

I dont believe one bit that the titans would have no chance in the playoffs. They're certainly capable of beating the Chiefs, their likely opponent. It's at worst a 60-40 matchup for KC.If you assume that there is no chance the Titans will win a playoff game, then yes, I think it would have been better to have gone 4-12 and had a top 5 pick. Now the Titans are welcome to make me eat my words and win a round or two.

I am in the “they got this far so go for it” column.Okay, so Gnash and TVP615 are in the "win now" column. As a Packers fan, I am in that column too. Rodgers only has so many seasons left.
So thanks to the previously hapless Dolphins, if they make the playoffs the Titans will play the Patriots.

If they could somehow knock off Brady in the playoffs that would be well worth having a worse draft position
Titans and Pats Saturday...I'm oddly optimistic
