    Did I not write in at least three different posts that they need someone else to beat the Lions?
    Did I not say that my expectation that the Lions would lose another game caused me to omit "mostly" in stating they control their own fate?
    Did I ever write that my expectation caused them to control their own destiny?

    Since I repeated at least four times in three different posts that they need another team to beat the Lions, I submit that the intent of my post was clear to everyone except perhaps you, especially since you apparently also misread the post you quoted in your last message.

    So, what does 2010 have to do with this???

    You wrote, and I'll quote again: "(The Packers) control their own destiny, needing only one other team to beat Detroit."

    That's like saying, "This is not Detroit man, this is the Super Bowl!", in a game that clearly wasn't the Super Bowl.

    Stop contradicting yourself and see the error of your ways.

    At this point, Packers DON'T control their own destiny. If Detriot goes 4-0 in the next 4 weeks, they will clinch the North no matter what the Packers do - in this case, the finale would be meaningless in terms of winning the division.

    2010 is an example of how the Pack eventually ended up controlling its "own destiny"...Thanks, D-Jax!
    I'm not going to stop the wheel. I'm going to break the wheel.
