Nah you want the 1 seed especially in the Lions case, you want home field throughout and you get the only 1st round bye with the 1 seed. You're going to have face the best competition eventually whether it's as a 1 or 2 seed.

This. People always say we haven't won a playoff game since 1991 but we also had a bye week that season. Kinda like a playoff win....

i'm surprised the lions didnt put up a banner for their win over the bye week...

Speaking of banners, when I looked back at the 1962 season, I was surprised there wasn't a banner for them winning the ole Playoff Bowl against Pittsburgh. Or at least a banner that got taken down in shame five years after putting it up.

That was a good season. They went 11-3, never trailed by more than 7 points in any game, and gave Green Bay their only loss that season.

I think I would have been more pissed about the 3-0 loss to Chicago to close the season, but - since I wasn't there - I'll take your dad's word that that one was worse.

they were out of it by then.  that was one of the best lions defenses but the offense was not so great.

The 'Bobby Layne' curse meme was easy to get off the ground given the parade of non-discript QBs that followed him. Greg Landry was passable, but still not a guy you were going to win anything with.
