"Controlling our own destiny" What does it mean?

As of right now we are ranked #8 seed in the NFC. "But Dex if we're ranked #8 in the NFC isn't that good?" That is a great question my little nubcake! In short no because to get into the playoffs you need to be ranked #6 to at least receive a wildcard. "But Mr. Dex, I've seen people on the huddle saying we control our own destiny. What does this mean?" Another great question fuzzy nipples, allow me to explain. As of right now we do not control our own destiny per say. We are currently behind both the Bears and the Lions. "Well Mr. Dex how do we get that #6 seed?" Well now muffintops it's simple. We need to keep winning and they need to lose ONE game each. This would put us into the #6 seed as early as the end of this Sunday. If we beat the Bucs and the Cowboys beat the Lions while the Packers also beat the Bears the #6 spot is ours. Only then do we truly control our own destiny! "Wow! Gee thanks Mr. Dex, we at the Huddle love you!" I love you too fupapants and look forward to seeing you all in person for the first time Nov 18th for MNF!

 

TL;DR version. Beat the Bucs Thursday, root for Cowgirls and Fudgepackers this weekend and win out.

next question for the almighty Dex:  Do I control my own destiny for getting some sweet sweet lovin' from my wife tonight?

As long as you wash the dishes and tell her you'd love to have a Lifetime movie marathon someday soon.

    • I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks. 
    • They both outstanding players and both had monster games against Jets.  We gonna need it again this week with the bills.  Go Panthers!!!!
