The fact is as of now, the tacks are still ahead of us by 3 games.  Even assuming we sweep those bastards, they still have to lose at least one other game besides the two they lose to us in this scenario and we have to win out

That doesn't in factor in wild card possibilities.tere will have to be at least one team in the top 6 to lose at least 7 games in orderfor us to get a wild card.

That said, as remote as the chances are right now, it's the last week in November and the first week of December, and we're actually kicking around the possibility of winning the division or otherwise reaching the playoffs.

It's great for a change.

We gotta beat Detroit.  That has the makings of a tough game.

They ply Philly this week.  If we beat the lions, there's a strong chance next week we'll be 2 games back with two against the titans, then we'll basically control our destiny.  

It's a Longshot, but not nearly as impossible as it would have seemed @ 12:30 this afternoon.

As of right now, no, we don't control our destiny.  However, that could change as quickly as next week.  If the Jaguars beat the Lions and the Titans lose to Eagles (which is very possible), then yes, we would control our destiny.  We would be two games behind with two games still to play against the Titans.  If we sweep, not only would we make up the record difference, but we would lock the tie breaker advantage against them.  I know I'm dreaming, but as Jaguars fans, we get so few opportunities to dream, so just let me........

Edit:  I just realized that I forgot about the Colts.  We would need the Colts to lose either tomorrow or next week too for us to be in control of our destiny.
