I won a math debate
Scenario is easy, if the Titans they are in, if they lose, the Browns will have a better Division record and win the tie breaker.

I give up. This board is too hard to understand.
The Titans are 6-5 in conference play... and the Browns are 7-5. If the Titans win next week and finish 7-5.... it could go to a third tiebreaker which is common opponents. The Titans would win based on the Browns losses to Oakland and Cincinnati. The Titans lost to Cincinnati, but beat Oakland, the Jets (X2) and Houston (X2). The game against the 49ers doesn't matter because they are in NFC.

Six weeks ago, I told my oldest son that I was afraid that the missed field goal at the end of the game against Oakland would come back and bite the Browns in the ass.
It is somewhat bizarre that the Browns play a game where the outcome of their own game has no bearing on their playoff fortunes. (Not 100% true. If the Titans tie against the Colts, then the Browns need a W to make the playoffs.)
I would love to see the Browns in the playoffs, but honestly, any Browns fan before the season started would have been thrilled if offered a 9-7 or 10-6 record where the record came about with Quinn the Eskimo not playing....standing on the sidelines learning. I know my expectations have been exceeded by a long shot.
So since a Browns win or loss basically has no bearing on their playoff fortunes, I would love to see the Eskimo play a couple of quarters this week.

Talk about tough.
Being a Titans fan, and somewhat of a Browns fan, as well, this is just excruciating (exaggeration somewhat).
And to top it off, one of the first Christmas presents I opened this morning was a Browns hoody. It looks like my parents are trying to lure me to the other side.

"This is an incredible opportunity and one I have been preparing for my entire football life. I want to thank [owner] Amy [Adams Strunk], [general manager] Jon [Robinson] and the entire Titans organization for putting their faith in me. I am excited to get to work and that work starts now. We want to build a culture around winning, competitiveness and toughness. Everything we do is going to be geared towards winning and being physical. We want to prepare our players so they know what to do, which will allow them to play fast and aggressive."

Mike Vrabel was always Jon Robinson's choice, a CEO coach to guide Titans
Tennessee Titans general manager Jon Robinson couldn't have been more clear Monday in the post-Mike Mularkey firing news conference as he talked about how important it was for the head coach, general manager and ownership to be aligned in vision, philosophy, everything.
"Paramount," Robinson said with a fierce stare that let reporters know that maybe this was the most important factor in the upcoming search.
Yes, developing Marcus Mariota is essential. Yes, the Titans need to maximize their talent to make the next step. But Robinson has to trust the new head coach to successfully do all of those things and be on the same page on how to get that done.
That's what prompted the Titans to hire Mike Vrabel.
First thoughts on the hire: Man, that was fast. The Titans had interviews with Vrabel and Panthers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks on Thursday, then Rams offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur on Friday. The hiring of Vrabel was announced Saturday evening, the day before the conference title games. Why then? It didn't seem like the Titans had to compete with another team.
Regardless of the reason, it's clear that Vrabel was always Robinson's man. The plan appeared to be to hire a CEO head coach and strong leader to help lead the Titans down the Patriots' path. The Patriots way is a big deal here, as Robinson and Vrabel spent seven years in New England together. They won two Super Bowls during that time, with Vrabel a player and Robinson as a scout.
The NFL is a relationship business, for better or worse, but there's plenty of reason to trust Robinson's judgment in making this move. Chasing a winning model similar to the one in New England isn't something to frown upon. The key will be bringing in the personnel and building the culture to duplicate that success.

Vrabel and Robinson are definitely aligned on that.

OK ... so if the Jacksonville Jaguars are known as the 'Jags' and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are known as the 'Bucs,' what does that make the Tennessee Titans?
