Just like with the Bears-Packers game, there's good and bad with each outcome. On the one hand, the Lions can no longer beat out Seattle for a playoff spot. On the other hand, if the Lions do beat out Chicago or Green Bay for the wildcard and get seeded #7, if and when it comes down to play the #1 seed "perhaps" at Seattle is a bit less daunting than at LA Rams? There's still a way the Lions could beat out an NFC West team for a wildcard - if the Lions win out and SF loses out at Indy, vs. Chicago, vs Seattle. Of course we'll be cheering for Chicago over SF, so counting on the Niners losing out is only a desperate fallback.
