The most fair way to do it would have been:

Titans vs. Jaguars on Sunday night as the game will be for the division no matter what.
Dolphins vs. Jets on Saturday as a Dolphins win puts them close to a playoff spot but doesn't actually knock anybody out
Dallas vs. Washington on Saturday as Dallas would put themselves in position to win the NFC East if Philly went on to later lose to the Giants

Lions and Seahawks should both have played at the same time on Sunday.

I do agree that the way they did it potentially unfairly benefits Green Bay and potentially hurts Detroit. My suggestions above wouldn't really have unfairly benefited anybody.

The NFL wants one of their biggest names (Aaron Rodgers) on primetime Sunday night for ratings. Combine that with them being "win and in" for the playoffs after their win against Minnesota and I don't think there was any other choice they would've made. They weren't worried about any other teams.

Green Bay is going to destroy the Lions. If ya thought we looked like shit against Carolina, just wait until Sunday night.

Nah… we’ll lose in the final 3 seconds… the Lions MUST snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. It’s a rule.

Yep. The most painful route for their fans is always the most probable Liedown result.

It's been unseasonably warm and wet. The ground is soft. I want all you SOLers to go out in the backyard, dig a hole, and stick your head in it! :evil:

The NFL loves the Packers, will do what they can to get them in the playoffs.

I want you to apologize Monday morning to all of us who will be proven right. Plus, you all need help to even get in the playoffs. Good luck. You’ll need it.

Which one do you think will happen...

Seattle wins but Detroit loses
Seattle loses bur Detroit wins
Seattle loses, Detroit almost wins but some funky call gets made in the Packers favor thay deflates the whole thing
Seattle loses, Detroit wins, they get federal "pound me in the ass prison" beaten in the first round

You can't tell me that running-into-the-kicker wasn't a bullshit call! :horns

What happens if Rams & Seahawks tie? All three contending teams are currently 8-8. 9-8 beats 8-8-1.

Pertinent question. Seahawks have the tiebreaker because they beat the Lions.That is the case if the Lions also tie.
