Am I correct in inferring that the Seahawks are in if we beat the Rams? If we lose we frankly do not deserve it anyway.
It sucks because I love love to see the Lions in, but the heart she holler.
You are not. They also need the Lions to beat the Packers if they win. If they lose, the winner of the night game is in.
Oh sh-t. So we need to knock the Lions out and then have them win? We need to beat our wife and then have her make us a samich?
Yes. Which is why it is absolutely ridiculous that the NFL moved the Green Bay - Detroit game to the evening slot. It gives Green Bay an unnecessary advantage.
But as we discussed before, what other game would go in that slot? Besides Jags-Titans, but either NBC really wanted the Packers or ESPN really wanted the one known winner-take-all game since that went to Saturday.
Seattle-LA had the chance to be a dead rubber. Bills-Patriots had some seeding at stake for the Bills, but for win or get in implications it also had the chance to be a dead rubber. I think Lions-Packers is the only game left that ensures at least one team will be playing for a berth no matter the results of other games.
That goes without saying.
We are all Bills, Dolphins, and Steelers today. Drive them into the harbor and dump them as waste.
Man, the refs screw the Lions even when they are not playing. Seattle was gifted a first down after a bad running into the kicker call- which resulted in a tying FG, and now Smith runs into a standing Ramsey as he steps out of bounds- 15 yards right into game winning FG range. And a seattle player head butted Ramsey- which is also a personal foul- no call. At least the play should offset and redo.
Thankfully, Seattle misses the game winner, so there's still a chance for the Lions. A tie means a Lions win gets them in. We will see.
The Rams nearly had them down at the half yard line too before the gunner fell.
It wouldn't be an NFL season if horrible officiating didn't torpedo the hopes of Lions fans at least once
