Friendly reminder the Titans are basically resting everybody important.

Ah yes. It's the rare meaningless 2nd to last game of the season game. So they can lose this one and the Jags can win this week but they can still win the South if they beat the Jags next week?

I wonder if the Jags will be resting players as well on Sunday? If thats the case then I might have to switch my pick to the Texans.

Yes.

The only scenario where you can argue this week matters:

Titans tie the Cowboys. Jaguars lose.

Then the Titans win the South next week with a tie in Jacksonville, lol.

Jacksonville is still a long shot to earn a wild card, so you could argue it matters to them. It'd take quite a bit to happen though.

And given how Jacksonville has been building this second half of the season, I'd be reluctant to interrupt their flow by resting guys. Let them go out and beat a bad Texans team to keep things going.

Second time Tennessee is doing Thursday too. Also Dallas, but they’re gonna get thanksgiving every year.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Who tf is Josh Dobbs?

 

[Halladay]

The Bears could still get the #1 pick.

Who tf is Josh Dobbs?

Can't be worse than Willis.. But I echo this; Who the hell is this creature?

Guess I don't follow the Vols all that good. He came from there.

And was apparently drafted by the Stillers.

Week 2 to week 17 is when you have TNF. That is 16 weeks. But Thanksgiving has 3 games now so it’s 19 games. Week 1 is the opener so no short week for anyone. So that means 6 teams need to play twice on TNF between that time frame of the regular season which would be deemed a short week.

New England and Buffalo played consecutive Thursday's (Thanksgiving against different teams then the week after against each other), so techinically they only had one short week each since the second one was a full week's rest.

The Titans are expected to start Joshua Dobbs at quarterback in Thursday night's game against the Cowboys, a source confirmed to ESPN.

Signed off Lions' practice squad a week ago.​

That’s what they generally try to do. This game should’ve been the week before thanksgiving.

starting Haskins in my fantasy football finals, pray for me.

My mistake as it is 18 games between weeks 2-17. So looks like NE and Buf were the other teams that played 2 TNF games. Actually Buffalo played 3 if you count the opener via LA but that’s not a short week since it was the kickoff game.

Just finish the season with no more injuries Dallas. Ride these last 2 games out. Show me in the playoffs. It’s been too long. Cowboys!

I didn't quite know what to think.

I didn't quite know what to think.

I wouldn't have known if GKJ hadn't mentioned him somewhere else for fantasy reasons

 

[GKJ]

Hold up, this is an audition for next week for Dobbs? Where is Malik Willis?

 

[Troy McClure]

Bad sack to take. Throw it away.

His 99yd 2int performance vs the Texans must not have impressed Vrabel
