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!
