The plans had changed. Detroit Lions MUST beat the Packers for the play-off berth. Doesn't matter if the Seahawks win or lose.

Wrong. If the Seahawks win and the Lions win, the Seahawks are in due to Lion's loss in week 4 to Seattle. The Lions need the Seahawks to lose and they beat GB. That's the only way they get in. What sucks is how these games were scheduled. The Seattle game is at 4:30, so the Lions will know their fate way before they play GB at 8:30 Sunday night.

The NFL Commission has changed the rules after the incident of the Bengal/Bills game. So the Seahawks will remain 7th seed.

You're wrong on this. Best record matters for a playoff birth. Lions need Seahawks to lose. That's the only spot available at 9-8.

I'm glad someone else tried to correct Danny besides me. He has it all wrong. It's all academic anyway. Next year, the Lions shouldn't have to depend on other teams to get in. They have a bright future.

I was right. Lions are not going to the playoffs. They had played a great season and that's that.
