Would you put Rodgers back in injured?

Had it been my call, no way he returns to play in the Detroit game.
Even if I had, once I saw him hobbling around, he sits.

* Pre-existing injury aggravated

* Leading the game, just rely on Defense

* Already in the Playoffs

My thought it you put him in and hope the extra week helps. You also hope that you can get a big enough lead that you can put your back-up in.

We lose the game and have to play again next week with an injured Rodgers I think it is a safe bet that the season is done.

I would have put him in. They would have lost the game without him. Mike knows they would not have scored any more points without Aaron in the game. That Flynn can't really move the offense. The game was already tied when he came back in.

There is a huge difference between being in the playoffs and having the 2nd round seed. Going to Dallas and then Seattle before playing somewhere (Possibly Detroit) for the NFCCG is 100 times more difficult than a bye then hosting a game before going to Seattle.

Obviously it's easier to say "yes" when he did it with minimal apparent additional damage.

That said, the risk side of the risk/reward is "just" dealing with a pulled muscle. It's not a concussion, mcl sprain or something like that...the nature of the injury almost causes him to be in a self-preservation mode while out there. I'm not trying to minimize ithe injury he sustained, just saying when weighing options, I feel the reward outweighed the risks.

I am assuming that the medical team didn't think playing would greatly increase the damage already done. Or they would not have let him back. So in that case, I would have let him play knowing that a win gives him an extra week to rest and rehab before having to play. But I would be watching to see if he was having difficulty with the plays being called. Wouldn't be calling any play action roll outs anytime soon.

I agree with all the points made by Kanata, wpr, and PFWT.

The thing I want to add, though - at the risk of redirecting the thread hahahaha, is that we really need to use Tolzien over Flynn short term, medium term, for anything other than kneel downs if Aaron ever does need to sit out. Neither Tolzien nor anybody else on the planet is an adequate substitute for Rodgers, but he at least would be about ten steps better than Flynn.

But that is something apparently they do like in Chicago so maybe we can trade Tolzien to the Bears to replace Cutler.

You got to ride him till ride him till he can't go anymore at this point because without him we're done anyway.
Flynn or Tolzien, it doesn't matter.

This was a playoff game. You play the people that are medically cleared to play.

Zero2Cool (6h) : I feel similar about person and product/service.

beast (17-May) : Not sure why a players views reflect on GB... instead of simply on the player

Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity

Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

CanPackFan (16-May) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : I know we moved on. That tidbit just makes me a touch happier.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
