We no longer control our own destiny

12 teams control their division fate: Eagles, Pats, Broncos, Steelers, Bengals, Colts, Cards, Seahawks, Pack, Lions, Falcons, Saints.

 

 

I doubt this comes as a major shock to anyone, but it confirms what we naturally already suspected.

Saints fans are awful people that like to steal footballs from little white women?

I was expecting to open and see "for a top 5 pick".

We gave up controlling our destiny when Rivera was given an extension.

Does this week finally put an end to all the playoff talk?

Yep

I think most of us have moved on.  I was holding out some semblance of hope but watching the players quit yesterday, I said yep, I'm done.

I'd agree.  To me this is just sort of a 'making it official' thing.

 

I expect to hear the term 'mathematically eliminated' sometime soon.

The truth is that a win this week and logically we'd be right back in it. There's just no hope or reason for hope.

Yeah, when the players quit.  I just said, welp time to think about a new coaching staff and who to draft.  Larry Fedora?  Anyone for OC?

Only the tard annoying homers on the forum kept talking about playoffs, any other person with legitimate football sense knew this season was done.

[TylerVagyler]

How do they Falcons and Saints BOTH control their own fate?

 

EDIT: I guess it's true since they play each other. Who ever wins out gets the division. Just sounded weird at first.

I'd say it was more hope than actual belief.

 

I can't fault people for being hopeful.
