    Actually, I think Detroit can also win the #1 seed if they win, Arizona wins tonight but loses next week, and Dallas wins next week. That would create a three way tie between the Lions, Cardinals, and Cowboys with the Lions being 10-2 in conference to Dallas' 8-4 and Arizona's 9-3.

    EDIT: No, Arizona swept those two.

    Packers and Lions are pretty much interchangeable between the 2nd seed and 6th seed. Unless Arizona blows it, then I believe if GB wins next week they'll be the 1 seed right?

    I think if Seattle wins out they get the one seed unless they end up tied with Dallas

    Dallas needed a two way tie with Seattle, but no three way ties. That can't happen anymore because the Lions won today.

    First tiebreaker if there's no round robin between the tied teams is conference record and Dallas' is a pedestrian 7-4. Lions 9-2, Packers 8-3, Cardinals/Seahawks currently 8-2.

    I knew Dallas won the head to head tie breaker, didn't realize that it was out of play now. Seeding gets weird these last couple weeks.

    Well, ok, technically it's possible. Dallas needs Seattle to win the West, to win next week, and a Packers/Lions tie.

    It is not that bad. You can't account for head to head in a three way tie. In that instance you have to go to something else. And the most logical next step would be conference record.

    Forecast calls for a high of 16 degrees in Green Bay Sunday. If they flex it to night like you'd assume they would: BRRRRRRR

    I think they can't do that with only a week to go. There has to be at least two or three weeks.

    I heard the CBS announcers just speculating at when the games were being played/aired next week, so I think they can flex at the end of the season.

    Unless I just misunderstood.

    Seattle's almost had two picks already. If they just stop committing dumb penalties (granted probably a big if) they're looking good. Otherwise...

    I love that even as the most-penalized team in the league, the Seahawks still get away with so much blatant horseshit.

    John Brown was vaguely in the area. You could see him walk on screen after the ball landed.

    Also, QB was hit on the throw.

    Ya, it wasnt obvious immediately on camera but he was totally aiming for a target downfield. He just got hit as he threw. It was fine.

    Ive seen that called. But there was a red shirt about 8 yards away in the area. And I was talking about the throw to the flats not the one in the middle.

    Refs virtually never call grounding when the QB is hit during the throw, because it's impossible to tell how much the hit affects the accuracy of the throw. Sometimes you'll get an in the grasp call, but never grounding.

    They've got orders to keep the cards in the game awhile longer.
