Dates: Detroit Lions Playoffs 2012

[John_Brian_K]

Anyone know what the dates are? I have not been able to find anything...I bought my brothers family Pistons tickets for the 8th for Christmas and may need to reschedule that if the Lions play on the 8th instead of the 9th. I am guessing they will not be the Varsity game unless they play the Saints.

It will be announced after this weekend, so it's still up in the air.

My guess is the Lions and Saints play on Saturday so there are more than 24 hours between the Saints' playoff game and the LSU-'Bama National Championship game at the Superdome.

This board has has been around since 2002 and never seen a Lions playoff thread.
