So we got a win over the Bears. OK that is good, but it was just the Bears. Next week we have a winnable matchup at him against the Ravens. They have a better defense for Hundley to face, but their offense hasn't been impressive. We then will probably lose against the Steelers followed by two more winnable games against Cleveland and Tampa. That would put us at 8-5 with 3 games to go at the window where Rodgers could first return.
If we assume that Rodgers could come back in win those remaining 3 we would end the season at 11-5. Even at that I don't think we would win the division. I don't see MN losing 4 more games in the remaining season, and I think we will be hard pressed to leap frog all the teams ahead of us for a Wild Card spot.
I'm thinking let Rodgers sit making sure he is healed 100%, remember Romo coming back from his collar bone. Let Hundley and who ever is left not in IR finish the season out good or bad, even if we somehow manage to make the playoffs. Even with Rodgers back I don't think the team is ready to make a SB push.
