The Titans game is the key to the season.
NOT in terms of making the play-offs -- that dream has been crushed already -- but in terms of having a truly bad enough season for a top 5 draft pick to leave the new GM and coaching staff to build with.
The Titans looked like a NFL team last night and will be coming to Buffalo with 10 days rest like the Cardinals on Sunday.
If they beat us, we should be 2-5 heading into the bye with the first 2 games out of the bye being road games in HOU and NE.
2-7 surely would mentally destroy this fragile team.
Even though the schedule is easier for the final 7 games, losing 5 or 6 of them should put us in a top 5 draft position.
From that draft position, we can draft (or trade up) a franchise QB to be groomed by the new regime.
That gives me hope.
